  1. Tony O used to do that all the time. Since he almost always batted third there was no back line after the first inning.
  2. Dickbremerism: popup to center field. That is what he calls a medium-deep fly ball hit by the opposition. IMHO there is no such thing as a popup to the outfield.
  3. No matter how many baseball games you have watched something new will happen in almost every game if you look hard enough. I have not seen a batter question the batter's box before.
  4. Me too, although it's looking more all the time like there will be no later.
  5. I think the biggest impact of the COVID epidemic on the Cleveland team is that Terry Francona can't snarf sunflower seeds for nine innings like he is accustomed to doing.
  6. That would be about what we should expect from MLB. After months of preparation there was a breakout of positive COVID tests on the second day of the season with several more pockets showing up during the rest of the first week. Pausing for two weeks without any other changes means that three weeks from now we'll see this happening all over again. Beyond that, it means baseball well into November. It's an exercise in futility. Just say, "Sorry, we tried, it didn't work out, and we're giving up."
  7. C'mon boys, let's keep the line moving. Big time ambush.
  8. I hope the Twins do well because this is the last series we'll have vs. Cleveland in 2020.
  9. Yeahright. Did you see the dugouts during the last week? Maskless players sitting with their faces less than 2 feet apart conversing extensively. Baseball people have never been known for being cerebral, but it has been hugely disappointing to me how ignorant teams have been. Everyone--EVERY ONE-- in the dugout should be wearing a mask.
  10. It's many tips of the same iceberg. The same large, ominous iceberg that can't be avoided under MLB's faulty protocol.
  11. I'm sure Littell did not drop that on purpose but it turned out better that he did.
  12. BTW Lindor is my favorite non-Twins MLB player. Other than the fact that he plays for a division rival what's not to like?
  13. Just look at 2019. After a lost 2018 due to major surgery he missed spring training and was really bad when the team rushed him back. And then after the rust got shaken off he was absolutely outstanding. I expect the same thing will happen this year. Let's see how he is going in another month (if MLB games are still being played).
  14. It's so ****ing stupid. As if we didn't know the stands are empty, and then the replay shows empty space. It's abso****inglutely ridiculous.
  15. JHFC I just realized AJ is doing this game for Fox.
  16. Noise is the key word. Makes me not want to go to Target Field when it reopens.
  17. I wish we would wear white uniforms with these caps.
  18. I have a comment about the big heads. I think they are a good alternative to the cardboard nobodies in Chicago. But they need to mount them higher on the chairs so you can actually see faces. And they don't freak me out. Now, put Mariano Rivera or David Ortiz back there, that would be another matter.
  19. If I were an MLB player I would use new walk-up music for each at-bat for my entire career. I could never be restricted to just one piece of music when there are many thousands of worthwhile musical bits available
  20. This has been going on for several years. Maybe he misuses terminology but he often describes fly balls to the medium-deep outfield as pop-ups. I think he tends to overstate the distance of balls hit by the Twins and understate the distance of balls hit by the opposition.
