  1. Same thing in the bottom of the inning, namely finding a place on the bench to make way for a defensive replacement.
  2. Chief is at Stage 2 of aging. Stage 1 is forgetting to zip up. Stage 2 is forgetting to zip down. Hit me. I can take it as well as I can give it.
  3. LoMo is due fora breakout. However Archer tends to be way nasty. Still hope tonight's the night.
  4. How about personal chicks, like DtheD talked about?
  5. Yes. When bunting toward third base against a standard defensive alignment you want the ball to stop very close to the line, about equidistant from the pitcher and the third baseman. Against the shift you want it to be hit hard enough to get past the point where the pitcher can field it.
  6. 27.2 IP, 29 K, 1 BB. With numbers like that you don't need advanced metrics to know that he's been one of the best pitchers in the game so far this season.
  7. I haven't looked it up but I'm 99% certain that the 10-day-in-the-minors rule does not apply if the player in question replaces another player who is placed on the DL.
  8. There's a certain lefty currently on the Dodgers' roster who can become a free agent in November. Coupling him with Berrios at the top of the rotation in conjunction with our up-and-comers in the lineup...Wishful thinking, I realize, but wow, wouldn't that be fun!
  9. Eddie, get the pitcher to balk you home. A balk-off!
  10. Replay showed that the second bounce of Dozier's throw hit the edge of the sliding pit and skidded. That's an example of why it's better not to purposely bounce throws.
  11. You must have traveled back in time to be one of his ancestors, or else traveled forward in time to be with us today.
  12. It would be great to have a team there but MLB would have to subsidize it heavily. No way does it make business sense. The only city outside the US and Canada that would have any chance at all is Mexico City.
  13. The only thing I was showing off is my skill at using Google translate.
  14. Un día sin béisbol es como el desayuno sin jugo de naranja. O algo así.
  15. There are going to be a lot of messed-up schedules including inconvenient doubleheaders this year.
  16. Get back to us about this in August.
  17. My wife says the Twins' facebook page has announced postponement of tomorrow's game. I'm not on facebook myself but I think someone else can confirm this.
  18. I don't see any way that they'll be playing tomorrow either.
  19. Reading this thread makes me think that I should go see a Gophers game there one of these years just for the experience of doing it. Same for a Saints game at CHS.
  20. As of this moment Mauer is second in the majors in BA, second in the majors in OBP and seventh in the majors in OPS. A player with that kind of offensive production is more than welcome in my lineup no matter what position he plays. And if he's a stellar defender on top of that there is nothing to complain about. A 2-year extension for a player who is obviously still able to play baseball at an elite level should be a no-brainer.
  21. The things we have to put up with to live in the best state in the country.
  22. None of this has any bearing on his perceived future value. That's what what will drive contract negotiations wherever he lands.
  23. What game? There's not going to be any game.
  24. I was going to click like, but even though I strongly agree I don't like.
