    My vantage point tonight.

    Based on runs scored during this series (Cle 17, Min 16) the outcome we had (Cle 2, Min 1) is the most likely one. It's not a throwaway saying that it's not just whom you play, it's when you play them. The Twins flattened the White Sox earlier this year when we were the team on a roll and they were struggling. Considering the roles were more or less reversed here, disappointing though it was, the Twins held their own against a team on a roll. Let's hope we can build from that.

    Mega-thanks to Lucas and Heezy for lending their professional expertise (free of charge, no less!) to the discussions. Not just this one but numerous orthopedic injury threads in the past (and, we hope, the future). Contrary to what we sometimes see in discussions about medical matters on this site, posts by people who have reliable, factual knowledge of the subject matter at hand is SOOO valuable and SOOO highly appreciated.

    Nice play by the catcher.

    OK batters, you didn't pick up your pitcher with a heads-up defensive play so pick him up with a crooked number.

    I'll never forget Naylor's injury last summer. Gruesome.

    Dang! We could have escaped a foible of our own and at the same time taken advantage of a Guardian foible. Or instead of foible you can use the term ****-up.

    Not baseball, but very Minnesotan: Timberwolves.

    In other words, framing is about faking out the umpire into thinking that a ball is a strike or reinforcing the umpire's thinking that a strike is a strike. In either case, framing should be part of a major league catcher's skill set until the inferior system of pitch-calling currently in use in MLB is eliminated.

    In a fantasy league things like this are simple and just for fun. In real life this is way too complex and nuanced to be categorized into just buy, sell, or stand pat. Buy what and how much of it and for how long, and at what price? Sell what and how much of it, and at what price? And as with any transaction, what is the expected or hoped-for benefit to the team?

    Trends mean nothing. What means something is how we do in our upcoming 8 games against them.

    Your typo hearkens my memory back to Bill The Cat.

    It certainly was. A story: My oldest child was in a local youth orchestra organization. There were, if memory serves, 7 orchestras ranging from beginners to top performers. The top orchestra (last to play) performed Jupiter as its last piece. A very cool touch was that members of all 7 orchestras memorized their respective parts to the portion of the piece that contained the theme that we heard between innings there, and they all played. It was totally awesome to hear that many instruments filling up the hall.

    Sometimes you're the pigeon, sometimes you're the statue.

    As for me, I'm going to stay (figuratively) hot on this (figuratively) cool day.

    The Indian reservations in AZ do go to DST. I'm sure that makes for some confusion.

    Dick talking about the roster limitation of 13 pitchers. What's to prevent a team from listing a pitcher as an outfielder? Kind of evens things out with the Angels being allowed to count Ohtani as a DH.
  18. Nine of twelve
    Yep. Willie Keeler, Rod Carew, Tony Gwynn. (And there have been others.) He's the latest in the series.
  19. Nine of twelve
    Another hit for Arraez. Bored with it; he does that all the time.
  20. Nine of twelve
    Correct. Thank you for correcting my incorrect correction.
  21. Nine of twelve
    Correction on the heading: gametime is 3:10 PM MST.
  22. Nine of twelve
    I would think almost every pitcher shows a drop-off during the second and third times through the lineup. How do Archer's numbers compare with the MLB average?
  23. Nine of twelve
    Hildenberger was really good, but only very briefly. Once major league batters figured him out he didn't have the ability to adjust to their adjustments. A flash in the pan, albeit a fairly bright flash.

    I bet they didn't. Prohibition didn't end until December of that year. You can probably get a first-hand report on that from Chief.

    I think it's fine for MLB to do whatever they want to regarding the ASG. It's just that I choose to disregard the whole thing.
