    Yes...and no. It seems he’s being ‘paired’ with starters who are making pre-determined short starts for whatever reason (like Raya)…20 inning in 6 appearances. Honestly looks more like a starter than Raya at this point, for whatever that’s worth.

    Just checked in on a Guardians game thread. They’re scratching their heads as well. Say the rain still isn’t expected until around 8:00 (eastern)…and guess the game probably won’t get underway until close to 9:O0 (eastern). Which any bloke looking at a free radar app could have seen. Weird.
  3. jkcarew
    Except for the fans…so, nobody that matters to MLB, anyway.
  4. jkcarew
    A little odd. The radar seems to indicate that the rain isn’t even going to hit until about 7:00 central. Could have had 7 innings in by then. Oh, well. It’s not getaway day, so I suppose nobody’s opposed to the no-interruption approach.

    So, Keaschall is the first player in the modern age to stand on top of the plate with average-ish bat speed and a short stroke? Or did the others that fit that category all experience multiple injuries and IL time from HBP? Names? Gotta be one or the other for this article to be anything more than bad click-bate, right?
  6. jkcarew
    You mean like Buxton and Kirilloff and Lewis (and Keaschall so far)? No. I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about with Jenkins…or with Em Rodriguez.

    Great win all the way around. I’ll reserve judgement on what it means. The Twins MO (against anyone half decent) seems to be…occasionally dominate a game, then lose the next two 3-2 and 2-1. Meanwhile, Cleveland’s MO is the exact opposite. Let’s see if some trends can change here.

    This is why I love Ryan. He challenges…all the time. When he doesn’t have his top command, good lineups will ding him (or worse) occasionally. But his stuff is good enough that average/weak lineups aren’t going to do TOO much even when he doesn’t have his top command. And he BELIEVES this. It makes him fearless. And it always makes him our best candidate to go deep in any given game to save the bullpen.

    Erickson’s no-hitter didn’t seem terrifically impressive even while it unfolded. 4 K and 5 BB…balls were getting slapped all over the field. Still, it goes in the record books, and something he can tell his grandkids when he’s not busy racing his Porche on the way back from the club. In that game Puckett had 4 hits and his 21st RBI of the season. 21 by April 27…when the season didn’t start in March. Finished the season (it was the strike season) with 112 in 108 games. A 162–game pace of 168 RBI.

    Emmy Rodriquez continuing to show zero power. Now more thumb issues. Nothing to see here.
  11. jkcarew
    Need to move Buxton down in order. His OBP continues to be horrible. Never makes contact, and when he does, it's a 2B, 3B, HR. Put the OBP guys (such that they are) IN FRONT of him.
  12. jkcarew
    Meanwhile in St Paul: Raya's ERA now 8 (could be much worse); Tonkin at 19+; Lewis not hurt (yet).
  13. jkcarew
    Yep. I much prefer the 4-7 record when NOT on apple.tv
  14. jkcarew
    Seems odd not to mention that he’s lowered his K-rate for 28% to 19% during this period. Clearly, he’s deliberately letting the ball get deeper and making adjustments to put more balls in play.
  15. jkcarew
    The alarming part is the offensive regression of Camargo. Yuk.
  16. jkcarew
    Tread very carefully here. The laws of unintended consequences here are significant…from allowing teams to stash guys on 2-way deals, to enabling even more pitchers to churn on active rosters (if you look to expanding 40-man).
  17. jkcarew
    Their concern has been and will continue to be the STARS.
  18. jkcarew
    I understand the difficulties in firing Laz Diaz, but maybe the league should not count hitting or pitching results for games he’s behind the plate…and only count game results for potential end-of-season tie-breaking scenarios.
  19. jkcarew
    The DH doesn’t HAVE to hit for the pitcher. Just say’in.
  20. jkcarew
    Setting up the triple play is all.
  21. jkcarew
    One line out for unassisted DP…So, no.
  22. jkcarew
    Now we’re just toying with them.
  23. jkcarew
    Say what you want about Buxton…but among our ‘superstars’, he continues to only make one out per PA. That’s 31 K in 90 PA this year.
  24. jkcarew
    Dominant!
  25. jkcarew
    Sands to get out of the 9th. Stewart in the 10th.
