Good article about how Skenes changed his mechanics: https://www.si.com/mlb/the-paul-skenes-dilemma-continued -
I agree, the site managers could use more discretion in terms of which articles get published. (We didn't need thirty-nine "Walner Strikes Out Too Much" articles.) Also, I'm probably the only person bothered by this, but it's sloppy not to have photo captions -- this is Journalism 101.

Very interesting article! However, I can't get behind the idea that "defense doesn't matter" at first base. Just ask Ron Washington. 😉
-
Yes! Definitely worth the trip.

I think left field might be his best option. He doesn't have the arm for RF or CF.

Overall Shelton has done a decent job but he still makes some questionable lineup/position decisions. This is a key game and we've got Buxton and Jeffers sitting and at least two guys playing out of position.

It was a dribbler (swinging bunt) that Lewis couldn't bare-hand. Only play was probably at home.
-
Rhoden didn't swing the bat once.
-
Also, I thought MLB might front load most of the inter-league series to April and May (in case games are lost early on). The Twins do have a total of 8 series against NL teams in March/April/May, but they also have 4 in September. March/April - 5 May - 3 June - 1 July - 2 August - 1 September - 4

No decision for Ryan. With a WHIP of 1.04 (!) he's only 6-5 while pitching for the highest scoring team in the AL. Go figure.
-
Against a lefty!
-
Seems like Rojas only throws a slider or a change-up.
-
Good point by Plouffe that there was no reason for Lee to be playing in when Roccio hit the double with two outs.
-
Awesome start from Joe. Hopefully the bullpen can cover six outs.
-
Yankees swinging out of their shoes. aiming for the short porch.
-
Watch the replay again. Buck has to make sure that ball isn't caught. But yeah, he probably should have been sent home.

Not sure how you take that 3-2 pitch. -

According to baseballref.com: "Suspended Games: If a game is called in the middle of an inning after becoming an official game, and the visiting team has taken the lead (or the game is tied), it is a suspended game. It will be resumed at a later date from the exact point of stoppage." -

Great analysis of the bunt by Molitor. -
Great seats! How do you like the stadium?
-
Yeah, and I good throw by Kreidler -- threw a big hop to Caratini on the correct side of the plate to make a tag.
