  1. The ump said Jeffers turned toward second when he overran 1B. The Tigers tagged him before he got back to 1B.
  2. This game had a little bit of everything.
  3. It seems like Tampa has 17 relievers on their roster.
  4. Pretty sure the Twins pick the broadcasters, and they don't want negative/critical voices. Most TV crews are like this. One exception is the Mets broadcasters, who are not afraid to criticize the team.
  5. For the folks who might not have seen Mays play, a more modern comp is Ken Griffey, Jr.. -- but Willie was even better. Here's an interesting look at his numbers: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40382708/mlb-willie-mays-new-york-san-francisco-giants-all-great-career-stats
  6. Haven't seen this reported. But he is 93.
  7. Could be, but he played guitar right handed.
  8. We have 24 hits over 8 innings. These Coors Field games are wild! 😁
  9. For as bad as the Rockies are they have some impressive young position players.
  10. In Farmer's defense, he hasn't been on base much. 😉
  11. Joe Maddon write a book a couple of years ago stating that only about 50% of MLB managers have the authority to make most of their own decisions. I guess we can all decide if we think Rocco is making his own moves without a lot of input from the FO.
  12. Agreed. The FO is likely dictating many of the "in game" moves to Rocco ahead of time,
  13. According to Baseball Reference, Hunt led the NL in HBP every season from 1968-74, with 50 HBP in 1971. He had 243 HBP lifetime!
  14. This game has a chance to finish in two hours. (From the start -- hopefully not two hours from now.)
  15. It's gotten hard to tell what exactly the Twins' offensive strategy is, but I don't think it's "work the count." They are 21st in MLB in walks. On the TV broadcast they have said many times that the Twins are the worst team in MLB at hitting breaking balls. It might be our hitters just aren't good enough, no matter the approach.
