This got me wondering about Larnach, His strikeout rate is 70 in about 190 a.b. But he would be Leading the Twins in r.b.i.,s   32 with the Twins and 30 in ST.P.  WAS A high draft pick in 1st round 18 ? got one of the Prettiest swings ive seen,  Now 26 years old , i know were Log Jammed with Lefty bats , but what are they gonna do with him, ?  Gallos K- rate is over 50 percent, why arent they playing him at 1b as another option,   ill put betting odds at 1 and a half on Gallo tonight,   going over here , 

To get rate divide Ks by PA…more accurate comparisons player to player.

Great place. Good choice. 

Agreed. The Twins Cities really does have great restaurants. We just took a family trip to the Denver, Colorado springs area and I gotta say it just reinforced that. Duluth on the other hand, gads, lol. It has gotten a little better up here, but it's a good thing my wife's hobby is cooking.

Geez correa

[CRF]

Nice! Shoulda put 5 or 6 up there, but it'll do for now. 

[stringer bell]

Good pitchers have bad innings. Dunning is better than that, but taking advantage is great. Excellent job by Wallner and Jeffers to get the runs in.

[IaBeanCounter]

Gray must be in shock, 4 runs to work with!

[GusGus11]

Hell of an inning. But we have got to stop batting Correa behind 2 guys who draw walks.

Its just asking for DPs and is simply moronic strategy. 

When AK returns this should be the lineup but never will be

Julien

Polo

AK

Lewis

Wallner

Correa

Welp

Sonny doesnt know how to pitch with run support

Cant ever remember seeing 4  walks   before a run scores,  

[jkcarew]

Average exit velo was 100mph for Texas in the top of the 2nd. I’ll accept the one run.

Right? DP or caught steeling the only way. Very unusual.
