  1. This works well for me. Ignore the crude comments. http://bilasport.net/mlb.html
  2. I took my daughter to see "Enchanted" back when it came out. The same thing was true there, and the Disney people understand that those touches are appreciated. Also highly appreciated about "Enchanted" was casting Amy Adams as the lead actress. They had dads in mind when they did that. Possibly the best song on any Disney movie soundtrack ever. Getting Louis Prima to sing it was a stroke of genius.
  3. This is a noteworthy and interesting statistic, but... **Warning: nitpick alert** I have a thing about relatively obscure statistical quirks being referred to as records. For example, the most sacrifice bunts ever to take place on a Tuesday day game could be referred to as a record, but should it be? I think the term "record" should be reserved for only the most basic things, like home runs in a season, or World Series Championships, things like that. That said, let me be clear: this is NOT to be taken as anything remotely resembling a flame directed at diehard. As I said, this statistic IS noteworthy, and it's noteworthy because it's one of many ways that shows how unmatched the Twins' home run hitting has been this season and because it illustrates the balanced strength of our lineup, as opposed to just one or two players having a monster season. It's a great example of a fun number, and it highly deserves the like I gave it.
  4. G'night all. Here's hoping the outcome in KC is favorable.
  5. WWCD! Now to see if the Royals can help us out.
  6. Based on the earlier call involving Engel Abreu must have thought that you can just go wherever you want when you are a baserunner. I guess that's a logical deduction.
  7. As sloppy as the Twins were earlier that baserunning gaffe was by far the worst mistake I've seen by a MLB player in many years.
  8. If our BP can stay relatively rested and perform relatively well on this road trip it can be reasonably argued that Smeltzer was the most valuable player during the Yankee series.
  9. Garver deserved the error more than Rosario. He's got to get in front of that, like an infielder dealing with a two-hopper.
  10. Cruz is guaranteed another plate appearance after this one.
  11. If that were almost anyone other than Sano his home run would have been a routine can of corn to medium left field.
  12. An inside-the-park home run would be pretty cool tonight.
  13. So does this next batter for the Twins have any power?
  14. Talking about extending the netting and evaluating foul balls and such--Target Field has less foul territory than any other MLB stadium except Wrigley. This says to me that netting is needed more there than almost any other stadium.
  15. OK, Berrios, bear down here. Let's see about 10 consecutive batters retired.
  16. Fortunately no run scored. Only harm was the extra unnecessary pitches to finish the inning.
  17. First, I've said this before. The call is obstruction, not interference as Dick and LaTroy called it. Experienced baseball people should be able to use correct terminology. Second, it looked to me like the baserunner left the basepath. Not much we can do about the umping there.
  18. There's this: Rule 5.10(d) Comment (Rule 3.03 Comment): A pitcher may change to another position only once during the same inning; e.g. the pitcher will not be allowed to assume a position other than a pitcher more than once in the same inning. You can move the pitcher to another position and back to pitcher, but only once per inning.
  19. Not to throw cold water on anything or anyone, but the same thing was true about Andrew Albers in 2013.
