  1. Looks like Sucre was within the rules to put his foot there but it didn't prevent Cave from touching.
  2. Mauer doing what he does best--not swinging at pitches outside the strike zone.
  3. It was hard to tell for sure whom Cash was yelling at but it would have to be Escobar, Glynn, or the dugout.
  4. Dozier does a Rosario to induce the balk!!!!!!!
  5. Got home just in time to see these 3 runs score. Thank you for the throwing error.
  6. Geez, tune in at 1:14 and the top of the first is over. Which is good. At least I got to see the Kia ad. I enjoy watching that one.
  7. Maybe I misunderstood what I read or heard, but I got the impression that Cash didn't want to think of the first pitcher of the game in the same way starting pitchers are usually thought of. Hence the different term.
  8. The approach should be to use the pitching staff in the way that makes sense to win as many games as possible in a season. For example, overusing a bullpen to win one particular game could lead to losses the next two games.
  9. I think "the opener" refers not to the strategy but to the designation given to the first pitcher of the game.
  10. Nobody said there would be no math so here are some numbers. Based on current winning percentage Cleveland is on a pace to win 89 games. For the Twins to win 90 games we would have to achieve a 47-23 record the rest of the way. However, by doing well against Cleveland we could reduce their projected win total. So going about 45-25 would give us a good shot at winning the AL Central. Doing that is a tall order for a very good team and an even taller order for the Twins. More numbers: If we do pass Cleveland and win the division we will have to win 2 postseason series to become AL Champions. The teams that will probably oppose the AL Central winner (with their projected win totals) are Boston (111), NYY (106), Houston (105) and Seattle (99). Doing that is a tall order for a very good team and an even taller order for the Twins. And of course there's the World Series itself after that. So, ray of hope? Yes, but more like a very faint glimmer. The organization will be best served if the front office makes the 2019 season its top priority.
  11. One atom of the ball was in the strike zone. Which is enough.
  12. This is a golden opportunity for Busenitz to show he can do what needs to be done.
  13. The shots of the sky at Target Field are way cool.
  14. Is this really the same team that went 1-8 on their last road trip?
  15. C'mon, boys, keep the line moving. No reason to let up. Kick 'em while they're down; they'd try to do the same to us.
  16. It would have been the play of the game if they had gotten Polanco on that play at first.
