The thing about a full no trade clause is everyone is on it. I bet i could guess widler if i tried. (Gene!)

Very true. I think he would list the Dodgers if he negotiated another contract that included 1 team he can’t be traded to. That relationship is never gonna work

They have absolutely no impact on the outcome of any game in the history of MLB...yep...gonna have a hard time defending that.

Twins batters/pitchers failure -  yup , it is always some one else fault, at leas too often on TD.

Counts can change at bats.

So can watching strikes go by and swinging at crap.

MLB Batting Averages by Count.

So when the umps blow a call? ...it has no effect on the outcome of an at bat?

Stats don't support that idea...not even close..

 

Count Batting Avg (AVG)

On-Base % (OBP)

Slugging % (SLG)

 

1-2 .160 .171 .248

2-1 .325 .503 .548

This is what I find so frustrating about watching Festa.  Really good stuff, lively fastball, but he throws way too many pitches that never even challenge the strike zone.  Then they foul off a few others, and soon it's 80-90 pitches by the 4th inning.  I hope he can keep that down today.

No question about that. I would rather be 3/1 instead of 2-2 or 2-1 versus 1-2 as a hitter

Stop with “sweeper”

Sweeper is for dry situations.

If it is wet you need someone to mop up.

Bullpen calls often start with "clean up in inning 5" or so i imagine.

Oh, please God, put Dustin May in, so we can eat him alive!  

I seriously want to beat the Dodgers' brains in this series.

Dustin May was one of those pipe dream Dodgers prospects acquisitions when we were talking about Dozier trade rumors. How things have changed for him now

IF the Twins lose 2-1, this game will bother me as much as the 1965 World Series loss at least until tomorrow.
