    Buxton’s 4 PA tonight would have had slightly more value on Sunday. And that was totally predictable.

    If you’d told me before the season that we’d be in a flat-footed tie with the Spiders after 109 games…I’d have said we’re about 5 games over 500…6 or so games behind the White Sox. Thank you, Tony LaRussa.
  3. jkcarew
    Meh…try throwing it in the exact middle of the barrel, and 5.5 inches from the end for three straight innings like Joe was.
  4. jkcarew
    At least we’re not the Pirates…they just had a guy lose his cell phone on a slide into 3rd.
  5. jkcarew
    Had a chance to win 3 in a row Sunday, but HAD to give Buxton and Correa the extra day off…and chose to do it at home against the Jays, rather than on the road against the Dodgers. I’ll take how to turn a 3-game win streak into a 2-game losing streak for $500, Alex.
  6. jkcarew
    Ryan better the 3rd time through the order. I thought that had been declared impossible. Also, over 100 pitches which I thought was illegal.
  7. jkcarew
    CNN headline: Ryan limits Dodgers to one single over three innings
  8. jkcarew
    Sub-300 OBP, lots of K’s, but huge power?? That’s leadoff for Rocco.
  9. jkcarew
    If Dodger stadium was the blueprint for all ballparks, catchers would all look like Buxton.
  10. jkcarew
    You’re entitled to your opinion, but I doubt your experience has any relevance whatsoever as it relates to a professional athlete making millions of dollars in a foreign country.
  11. jkcarew
    All the appearances of a great teammate and a guy who simply loves to play. I’ll miss him. He was frustrating, obviously…but somehow fun to watch at the same time. I hope he gets another shot, you never know.
  12. jkcarew
    Then you should be satisfied with the result. Would an additional combine 6-8 PA for the pair resulted in one marginal run? Buxton doubled and walked yesterday. And they put him in CF after the PA today…could have put him anywhere else.
  13. jkcarew
    How do you come up with “should have” won? If the call goes the other way…they’re still playing…the game would be tied. The lads scored 2 runs…in 10 innings, even given the cheat runner on 2nd. Being scrappy, hanging in there, and battling your tail off gets you nothing. Scoring runs does.
  14. jkcarew
    No. What cost the Twins is resting your two best players in a pennant race and scoring 2 runs. Stupid rule and stupid call…but not as stupid as going all in at the deadline and then resting Buxton for the 2nd time in 3 days, on top of Correa, against a good team in a pennant race, at home.
  15. jkcarew
    Not as much as it illustrates that the modern x-inning rule is not real baseball.
  16. jkcarew
    The unearned run is not earned.
  17. jkcarew
    Sometimes it seems like the term was invented solely to describe the Twins organization, though.
  18. jkcarew
    Maybe give him a cortisone shot before 30 games with the Twins instead of before 30 games with the Saints? I’m an AK skeptic. Walk rates as low as his are extremely problematic. And it’s a carry-over issue from the minors. It’s not like his K rate is going to be extraordinarily low…and that means he has to have an elite BABIP or elite SLG (or elite BABiP/SLG combo) to be good. He pulled that off in the minors…including this year in St. Paul with his wrist. Big ask in the majors.
  19. jkcarew
    “Headrick has the potential to fly up this list even further as the season continues, and he’s now undoubtedly the best left-handed pitching prospect in the system.” I’m not sure I disagree. But I’m pretty sure Matt Braun disagrees…he ranked a lefty 10 slots higher than Headrick.
  20. jkcarew
    3 or fewer runs scored in regulation in 5 of last 7 games. Nobody in this division is going to qualify as a wild card.
  21. jkcarew
    Duran’s career ERA against the Yankees is an even 54.00 I’m confident Lopez has been better. ?
  22. jkcarew
    The Jays fans do migrate from Thunder Bay and Winnipeg in great numbers every season.
  23. jkcarew
    Because your plan before the game starts is for the started to go five.
  24. jkcarew
    My guess is that the crowd averages a little over one cajon each.
  25. jkcarew
    I remain skeptical regarding Baldelli’s in-game management skills…still, he’s can’t go with the 4 “A” bullpen arms every game off a 5-inning start. The offense has to go out and win their share, and a started has to occasionally own a game. And both those events continue to be way too scarce
