    Quirky? Bumfluff pulls the lineup out of the ballboy's cap and uses more cliches than I have arthritic pains.

    79% strikes. I guess I did read that right. Good Grief!

    Buxton is a DH who might play some CF on occasion w/a bad knee. Having been scoped 3 times and ultimately a knee replacement, I would suggest once the knife goes in, a 2nd procedure isn't far behind. Works about 15% of the time. https://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j1982

    Gladden's remark on the Gallo/Correa double play: "Good players make good plays." Thanks Dan. As my mother used to say, "Your comprehension of the obvious is remarkable."

    Mentor? I think not. Twins won this trade by a hamstring.

    Provus said, "1st time Nats scored 10 or more this yr..."

    Announced crowd on radio, 23,000. Those who had video. Best guess on butts in seats?

    "Who else has the temperament and speed to steal a lot of bases? As you mentioned, Taylor? Maybe. Keps or Gordon? Less likely..." Twins, .228 BA, 1 steal Guardians, .231 BA, 26 steals Petriello said on his podcast, 11 Twins are below avg in speed in comparison to all MLB players. 2 are above avg. Mudders, I guess. https://www.mlb.com/news/fastest-mlb-teams-in-2023 I don't think Francona is much interested in an individual's temperament about stealing.

    "the Twins announced they were optioning struggling reliever Emilio Pagán to Elon Musk..." Believe me, I really, really dislike Musk. But I wouldn't even wish Pagan on HIM!

    Oakland A’s pitcher Trevor May (former Twins reliever) to the IL w/anxiety. A's GM David Forst:

    I am too much a traditionalist. 13 pitchers on roster, 13 more in StP and an infielder lobs the ball up at 40 mph. An insult.
  12. Dave Borton
    Yeah, there is an edge to some of the posts which I normally don't sense in these forums.

    He just needs to find religion.

    Tuned in 5 min late to hear Provus say, "If Kepler had gotten a better jump on that ball, he could have had it." Sigh...

    We'll see if Tucson Toros get resurrected in the PCL.

    I wonder if the White Sox might tender Hayes a contract. He appears to have put on a couple of pounds over the winter, ala Lance Lynn, and fumbles a routine popup. Might just fly!

    My only gripe is that the pitcher's stats are smaller than they used to be but it is very difficult to read from way atop 319 section. I need more time to study the board/electronics throughout the stadium to get my bearings anchored in. I couldn't in one game.

    Game speed. On Wed, all 3 of us at the game commented on how quickly the game moved along. One said, "I won't even have time to use restroom now that Altuve and others adjust their batting gloves 3 times between each pitch."

    Had Giants/Dodgers game on audio last night. Taylor Rogers came in relief for the 6th inn. Walked 3 batters to load the bases. Freeman (4th batter) took him to a 15-pitch at bat before walking him, with a run scoring 4th walk in a row. His ERA ballooned to over 18 with a WHIP of 3.0. Taylor's response. He tossed his mitt into the trash can in the dugout and punched some warmup jackets a couple of times. https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2023/04/13/giants-taylor-rogers-trashes-glove-vs-dodgers

    In week 2 of '23 schedule: Correa Gallo Kepler Polanco Winder Buxton (seemingly confined to DH role)

    Twins hired Paparesta Oct 27, giving his predecessor his walking papers. Seems like sufficient time to get each player a training plan for over-wintering and coming in to ST in shape. Doesn't seem to have been very effective. Do these guys work out over winter? Are Twins/other MLB clubs just being cautious with their investment? I don't ever recall such a vast amount of injuries in all my years of watching MLB.

    I saw him play 3 of the 4 games for Canada in the WBC/Phoenix, where he mashed .538 BA. Small sample but hopefully indicative of his bat.

    LaRussa was added to WSox roster, as utility IF. Probably 2B. His range at SS has diminished. https://tenor.com/view/larussa-running-chicago-white-sox-gif-22528488

    I will be there, high atop section 320, looking down from the crow's nest at batter's box. Very good seats for $12 w/vets' tix. Vets: 1/2 price, M-Th games.
  25. Dave Borton
    Twins have 27 games scheduled in next 28 days. Breathe 'em while you can.
