Twins (Ryan) vs Pirates (Keller): 6/7/24, 5:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Let's pretend that last series didn't happen. The Pirates are mostly competent nowadays, should be an interesting series.

[umterp23]

will be at the ballgame tonight as I live in Pgh... looking forward to seeing how they rebound from NY series

 

[Craig Arko]

This series should at least be interesting, and not just a forgone conclusion. 

[RpR]

The Pirates took 2 of 3 from the Dodgers.

[CRF]

Ryan looked a little fuzzy last time. Hopefully, he's a little more in focus tonight. The Buccos aren't pushovers anymore.

Apple  tv =   F--k  

[stringer bell]

No AK vs. a right hander. Not a good sign for #19. 

[Craig Arko]

Lululemon?

[OvertheHill]

That’s so Twins.

yep here we go again... 2 on 0 out, popup followed by 2 strike outs looking

 

[USAFChief]

I realize new age statheads will scoff, but  there is no offensive statistic more crucial than RBIs.

And we ain't got any RBI guys.

[USAFChief]

PIT always had a good eye for good pitching & not able to develop it properly with bad team. I really wanted for us take advantage of that situation. They still have a good eye for ptching but now they are able to develope it & are a team to be reckoned with.

[AussieG]

Ryan looking sharp in the 1st, Buxton with a nice catch, hope he can start to swing it better

[OvertheHill]

Still a pretty meaningful statistic to me.

You don't see Rocco missing a chance to get his RH "hitters" into the lineup.

Well - I agree with you that it was a nice grab but just took another horrible at bat and struck out - I think he is 1/25 right now

Royce is an RBI guy and I think Miranda and Correa are RBI guys when they have runners on. 

[AussieG]

Well there goes the shutout

We'll see on Lewis. Way to early to tell. He needs to stay on the field, for one thing.

Correa has never driven in 100, despite hitting in the middle of some pretty good Houston lineups, with 2 seasons over 600 PAs. Less than 160 RBI in 2.33 full Twins seasons. Again, in the middle of the lineup.

Miranda? Nah.

Yup you are correct, they suck in your opinion . Why do you root for this godforsaken team?

Several of the reasons we should be measuring it as a situational success rate stat. I don't care what your approach is if it works.  

I'm genuinely puzzled why we don't have this yet.

Super. Box.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Losing to the Yankees is one thing but it's like they take the Twins souls and they go into a complete tailspin.

[USAFChief]

Forced to listen on radio now that I'm in Minnesota. 

Atteberry is ... annoying.

100% right on brother!

[cmoss84]

Ryan had 14/14 first strikes up until Oliveras. You'd think he would get a border line call that has a big piece of the strike square.

I hate umps. Sorry. Time for tech to take over.
