  1. And of course there's Castro...or maybe not.
  2. The pitcher will be pinch hit for at some point in this game. Cruz will get an at-bat.
  3. It would reduce the "we wuz robbed!" fan commentary because it would reduce robbery.
  4. The Twins will probably go to a 13-man pitching staff at some point, although I hope they don't have to. If and when that happens, we're down to a 3-man bench. Of those four I believe it would be Adrianza who would be jettisoned.
  5. Nobody should have to earn a correct call. Automated pitch calling is currently at or above the level of humans and will improve. It's time to take action to install that.
  6. I know there are a lot of off-days here but we still need to rest people and give others a chance to play, if for no other reason than not to get rusty. If you're going to play your B lineup do it when Berrios is pitching. It still gives you a chance to win, as shown by today's game. We came up short but we were right there. Save your best lineup for when you've got someone else starting.
  7. So we're 5-3. A lot of folks will say, "meh". Well, going 5-3 every 8 games allows you to meh your way to a 100-win season.
  8. Good send. It took a perfect throw to get fim.
  9. So there was a commercial (and I have no idea what was being advertised) with Aaron Boone showing some guy how to give signs from the dugout. I've sometimes thought that if I were manager that my signs from the bench and from the third base coach would be numbers, similar to catchers giving signs to the pitcher. To me, I think this would make signs easier to read and to encrypt. Almost everyone in baseball has ten fingers; make use of them.
  10. Let's hope Berrios in on. If so we will only need 1 run to win. The advantage of having Polanco, Astudillo, and Garver all available to pinch hit is they can be inserted when the need is greatest. So if we can keep it close I think we have a good shot.
  11. Yes. We are talking about catching, the most physically grueling defensive position. Do not let any of them leave the organization at this time of year.
  12. Enough to highly correlate with a win for your team.
  13. It's not meaningless. It's just not very significant.
  14. The cycle is an interesting quirky thing, but even though it's comparable in rarity to a no-hitter it's nowhere near as significant. Pitching a no-hitter strongly correlates with a win for your team but the cycle doesn't.
  15. And by the way, the first time I was aware of him was the famous no-look pickoff at first base in 2018 ST. A thing of beauty.
  16. He is the outlier among all outliers. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY has this low of a K rate AND this low of a BB rate. It just doesn't happen. If for no other reason than being statistically one of the the most unusual players in the history of the game I want to see him in the lineup every day just to see what happens.
  17. I have met a woman who became a great-grandmother at age 51.
