  1. He played with Detroit last year too. He's been in the majors since 2015, which I didn't know until I looked it up on BR just now.
  2. I don't think it's the right thing to put good in the same sentence as Angel Hernandez.
  3. I'm so late to the thread that this may not get many views, but I think I have a very significant point. One of the thoughts that I had when I watched last night's game-ending play was this: where the hell was the left fielder? (Austin Meadows.) Watching the replay revealed he was wandering pretty much aimlessly in deep left center field. A major league player should always--ALWAYS--act based on what he can do to contribute to whatever may happen to take place on the field of play. As soon as the ball was struck in the direction of right field he should have been running fast in the general direction of the left side of the infield. Then, as soon as it became apparent that the throw from right field was coming to home plate he should have put himself in position to back up third base. Hasse was obviously culpable for that brain cramp of a throw but had Meadows actually been using his brain instead of letting it idle he probably would have prevented the tying run from scoring and certainly would have prevented the winning run from scoring. Moreover, with Urshela's confounding advance to third base there would probably have been at least one out recorded on the play. It goes to show that errors of omission can be just as damaging as errors of commission.
  4. You'll have to watch the video. It's too incomprehensible to describe in words.
  5. Is that a giant Easter egg that Jeffers is wearing on his head behind the plate?
  6. I've been a Twins fan since the earliest years. I have only very vague memories of the 1961 season but started to pay more attention the following year. While my dad was a fan I credit my mom with making baseball part of our family's lives. There weren't very many televised games back then but she usually had the radio tuned in with Herb Carneal and the rest of the crew.
  7. And that was on a 45° day. That ball goes significantly farther on a warm humid afternoon.
  8. WOW! That is a MONSTER shot in this weather. MVP! MVP! MVP!
  9. They walked our worst batter. Good. But do you fill first with Buck if your are LaRussa? His run doesn't matter.
  10. Whoever had the last completed AB. In this case Gordon, but for example if a runner is caught stealing for the third out of the previous inning the player who was at the plate leads off and whoever was ahead of him in the batting order runs.
  11. Yeah, one would think this would be a time to PH Correa.
  12. OK, Luis. Hit it where they ain't.
  13. Rocco, I dare you to double steal.
  14. I think the squeeze is an under-utilized play. But I doubt Sano is the one to ask to bunt.
  15. Man, this ump is squeezing the pitchers.
  16. Nice inning. Now whichever team wins will do so in its last at bat.
  17. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number I don't think MLB allows i on jerseys.
