1.  It was my understanding there'd be no math, but since there is

 

2. Pretty sure that's not how that works.

You are incorrect on 1. Math was, is, and ever shall be, world without end, amen.

You are correct on 2. OBP increases with a base on balls. Slugging percentage is unchanged with a base on balls. Hence, OPS increases with a base on balls.

[AceWrigley]

Gary confused by actually stopping one in the dirt.

[PDX Twin]

Twins doing their White Sox imitation.

[MadHits]

Not Polo's night ☹️

[snotboogie]

Jorge is really not having a good game.

[Sielk]

Yikes, Polo is having a brutal day in the field. 

[Aggies7]

Bad night for polanco. And again justin says it “came up on him”. No it was just an error 

[AceWrigley]

Polo needs Jobu.

[stringer bell]

I've never heard of Neuse. I noticed the Twins have a minor league CF with the same last name. Since that name is pretty rare, I wonder if the two players are related.

   Wes Johnson..................whenever there's a 'kerfluee' on the mound.  He has logged some serious mileage that last couple of years.

Not necessarily...

 

What if your OBP was already 1.000?

[MadHits]

GIDP coming up

[Buffy the Twins Fan]

Wow Celestino that was impressive!!

[Aggies7]

Good gracious I had visions of Torii in the 2006 alds there. Same opponent too

[MadHits]

Nice play Celestino?

Bald is beautiful 

[AceWrigley]

Gunned . . him .. down!

[MadHits]

Noice Gary and Polo 

[snotboogie]

Oh, yeah!

[PDX Twin]

Our terrible defensive catcher throws out the base-stealer. Who would have thought...

[Danchat]

Well, that inning could have went a lot worse. Great play by Celestino - thought for a moment that was Buxton!

[snotboogie]

Winder

(Buxton bias)  Byron get's off to a quicker start and his speed allows him a basket catch, without having to face plant himself.  Runner hold us and doesn't score on the possible  SF.

[mrtwinsfan]

Glad Garlicks not in the Dugout, or is he ??  Royce

IDK bout that

[USAFChief]

I've been doing a lot of carpentry lately, and I thought I'd come up with a good pun for the game thread. 

 

...

 

But nothing wood work.

I agree.  That's why I identified comment with (Buxton Bias).

Although, don't you think that joke is going against the grain?
