Hosken Bombo Disco Community Moderator Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Gonzalez batting 3rd?Think of how good this team would be if Rocco’s horrible lineups were not holding back the offense.

wabene Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Gonzo batting third? Pure genius I say!
drivlikejehu Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Good thing lineup order barely matters.
Nine of twelve Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Here's an article on optimizing batting order: https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2009/3/17/795946/optimizing-your-lineup-by It says that the #3 slot in the batting order is not that important.
stringer bell Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 González has an OPS of .864 vs. LH pitching and a .904 OPS in the month of May.
Nine of twelve Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Maybe it looks better in person but the Mariner catcher's chest protector looks ugly to me.

Nine of twelve Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 #100 on the season. On May 18. Amazing.
stringer bell Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 Not a typical Cron homer.
MNT1996 Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Not the 2nd deck? Cmon CJ step it up.
MNT1996 Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 #100 on the season. On May 18. Amazing. CJ's career 100th . Not the Twins'.
stringer bell Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 #100 on the season. On May 18. Amazing.No, that was Cron's 100th career homer.
bighat Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 I belive LeBlanc handed the Twins a deflating loss last year, "LeBlanced" was the title here on TD if I remember correctly. Glad to see they're attacking him tonight.
Nine of twelve Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 CJ's career 100th . Not the Twins'. No, that was Cron's 100th career homer.My bad. I misunderstood Dick.
Nine of twelve Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 I believe that was #82 for the team for the year. Still amazing.
Hosken Bombo Disco Community Moderator Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 My bad. I misunderstood Dick.as if people should walk around all day knowing that Cron is sitting on 99
bighat Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Sano robbed of a double there by a judgement call. We need these robot umps pronto. In 50 years people will wonder how we stayed sane needlessly suffering with the human element. Great AB by Miguel there, fantastic BB.
MNT1996 Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Just picture this line up with 2017 Sano. It would be insane
operation mindcrime Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 I missed CROM's 100th home run!!! I was watching Nascar!
Nine of twelve Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 OK, Buck, show these Seattle fans what you can do.
stringer bell Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 Not that it will happen in this at-bat, but who will hit the Twins' first grand slam in 2019?
operation mindcrime Verified Member Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Not that it will happen in this at-bat, but who will hit the Twins' first grand slam in 2019?Byron Buxton!!!
