    35F + 22mph wind = 23F wind chill

    Good contact swing by the big guy.

    Little league mistake by Rosario. Grrrrr.

    A player has success, so the opponents adjust. Then the player has to adjust to the adjustment. Then the opponent has to adjust to the adjustment to the adjustment....

    Just making it up, of course. But there is a 100% chance that it's poor sportsmanship.

    Just going with the odds. Like 99.99% odds.

    Two different things. The former is employing strategy within the context of the game. The latter is poor sportsmanship with the sole intent of belittling your opponent.

    Keep in mind that the field has underground heating so the playing surface is not going to be the biggest issue. It's the air temperature, wind velocity, and precipitation.

    I thought the bunt was completely reasonable and justified. Shifting is fine, but if you do it live with the consequences or die with them. Remember the great play Eddie Rosario made against Milwaukee last year tweaking the pitcher into a balk and scoring the winning run? The shift made that possible. There was a game many years ago--I'm pretty sure St. Louis was involved because I have a memory of Tony LaRussa commenting. The Cards were up by about 10 in about the 4th inning and they stole a base. The other team took exception, and LaRussa's comment was something to the effect that if they stop trying to win the game then so will I. 7-run innings can happen and players should keep playing until the last out.

    There would be only a little more travel but it would be broken into smaller segments. Think of it this way--a weekend getaway is an easy travel experience. A two-week trip to various locations around the country is an ordeal.

    Yes. Long road trips wear a team down. A schedule that alternates 6 home games with 6 road games is easier than one that alternates 12 home games and 12 road games.

    Now that you bring that up I seem to recall a handful of games being moved to other cities a number of years ago due to early season weather.

    The only other thing would have been one more run in the 9th inning of the first game.

    The weather expected during the upcoming home stand appears to be very unfavorable. This problem is compounded by the fact that the first two visiting teams, Seattle and Houston, are each making their only scheduled trip to Target Field. Postponement of any of those games will be difficult to make up, especially if there are multiple games postponed. Here are the forecasted high temperatures according to the Weather Bug app on my phone for the first five games of the home stand: 33, 28, 34 with a 40% chance of precip, 35 with a 40% chance of precip, and 39. Obviously this is subject to change as the dates draw nearer, but it appears very unlikely that conditions will be even close to satisfactory for playing baseball. I haven't read or heard any contingency plans for dealing with this. This thread can serve as a place for anyone to post updates or to speculate on how this will be dealt with.

    I could get used to this starting pitching real quick!
  16. Nine of twelve
    That called third strike was beeeeeautiful.
  17. Nine of twelve
    Sano - well-played just like he used to be a shortstop.

    Dick: Aruoho. This is a man who has made a living speaking publicly for the last 30 years or more. And he can't say Are.Uh.Oo.Ho. Pathetic.

    Dozier Dozier.

    Arapahoe.
  21. Nine of twelve
    Uh, oops, um, that includes spring training and the postseason, yeah, that's it!
  22. Nine of twelve
    Har-ha-hoo-hoe.
  23. Nine of twelve
    Can't you just ban someone and take all their likes? Someone other than me, of course.
  24. Nine of twelve
    This team is going to go 140-42. If we can play Baltimore every game, anyway.
  25. Nine of twelve
    Deteriorate? Elevate is the correct term.
