    Thank god.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Through 4.5 innings: Pelfrey - 217 pitches Sabathia - 11 pitches
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Rosario catches that.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    It'd be nice if the offense let Pelfrey sit down for more than three minutes.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Good to see the Twins getting killed by a rookie.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    I hate this team.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Rollie ****ing Fingers makes the play at the hot corner.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Sabathia perfect through three because of course he is. This is exactly what I feared after last night's game.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    God, I wish announcers would tell us useful stats. Bert giving us Bird's MiLB RBI total for the season...
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Come on, Bert. There are maybe two players in baseball not named Pablo Sandoval who would even think about barreling into Sabathia at first base. That's a great way to hurt yourself and the way Sabathia was stuttering toward the baseline, I can't fault Joe for hesitating. Joe loses in that collision every. single. time.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Pelfrey hit 95mph with that fastball. Huh.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    If this game isn't "must win", it's as close as one can get to that point without reaching it. This is a long road trip against AL playoff hopefuls. The Twins might be sunk if they start off the ten game set 0-2.

    One small step toward breaking the cable monopolies (though they control most of the ISP infrastructure so we'll still have to deal with them). This is going to snowball quickly. I expect within 12 months, a traditional cable channel will offer standalone streaming for a few bucks a month. Once that happens, the snowball will build quickly as other companies follow. Within 3-5 years, I think we'll have a good, if not great, selection of streaming channels to buy a la carte. Unfortunately, sports will be the last thing to offer standalone streaming because cable companies will fight to the death to keep them. And then there are non-traditional cable providers entering the market and offering streaming cable channels... SlingTV is already running, Apple is expected to have their service up and running any time now.

    Yeah... Given that the bases were loaded, where did Nunez think the runner at third was going? The dugout? Only one thing mattered in that play: getting the ball to home plate.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    I think it's really unfair to say Buxton floundered in his first stint. He didn't even have 40 PAs. I don't even pay attention to a rookie's performance until he approaches 100 PAs. One bad series to start a career is ~12-14 PAs, or roughly 1/3rd of Buxton's MLB service time.

    The dropoff is strange and the overall decline is troublesome. In the first half of the season in years past, Perkins was a 12 k/9 guy for the first half of the season. That dropped to mere mortal levels in the second half of those seasons. But now he's missing fewer and fewer bats overall. He is well into red flag territory the way he has consistently dropped in K rate... I haven't looked into velocity but I suspect the two elements are in lock-step decline.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Ah, yes. I glanced at 2013, not 2014.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    That tends to happen when guys are seeing the ball and raking. Even the good version of Joe Mauer often saw his discipline drop when he was lining the ball all over the field. Buxton's AAA strikeout rate is pretty much the same as his AA strikeout rate.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Yes, I hate a lot of parks. I don't like parks that play small, though it can't really be avoided in Denver.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Nunez throwing to first wasn't the problem. Booting the ball was the problem. The game was over by the time the ball reached first base. That entire half-inning was painful. Rosario catches that ball if it's not the Yankees. Perkins was bad but he could have gotten out of that inning with a little help from the boys behind him.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    I think they can win if they shore up other problems. Neither Nunez nor Escobar should be the SS for a good team but you can hide them at the back of the lineup if you have a good rotation, bullpen, or really, any other part of the team... I consider SS a problem for the Twins but I don't think it's their biggest problem, not by a long shot.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Good catch. I got lazy and looked up K/9, not K%.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, he's not Ben Zobrist. If a guy with Trevor's bat (and glove at third) can't play an up the middle position, it's probably better to trade him than try to rotate him around the diamond. He has a decent bat for third. His glove is good at third. Neither his bat nor his glove are as valuable doing down the defensive scale.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, sure... but the Yankees are built to do exactly what they did last night and that joke of a park allows them to thrive doing it. Foul off pitches until you draw a walk. Maybe hit a single. Or not, walking works, too. Hit a home run. Repeat. I hate bandbox stadiums. I think they're an insult to the game. Add in how much I despise the Yankees and the entire situation creates a vortex of hate within me.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I posted that on July 27th.
