Professional hitting by Solano. Doesn't try to pull everything. -
Any local IPAs to recommend? Watching this game I think I'll need one soon.

No robot umps in MLB in 2024 apparently: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/37859926/robot-umpires-not-likely-mlb-call-2024-manfred-says

Buxton Injury Vagueness
UpstateNewYorker commented on jharaldson's blog entry in Back Office Twins Baseball Blog
Since Buxton's contract extension came after his knee surgery, do we figure that the FO expected Buxton to be ready for spring training when they signed him? But that just didn't happen? Hard to believe they didn't give him a full physical workup before they signed him. -
Should have been out by a mile. We'll take it.
-
This qualifies as a rally.
-
Decent outing by Ober. Same with Lopez yesterday. No run support. (I know, it's a broken record.)
-
AJ just said the Twins are 5th in MLB in percentage of runs scored via the home run: 48%.
-
That inning was a mess for both teams and the home plate ump.
-
Do you mean Bill White? He was a great straight man for goofy Phil RIzzuto back in the day.
-
I think Bremer said that's 32 Ks in Gallo's last 54 at bats. Unreal.
-
Six pitches, three outs.
-
Agree about the front office, But I'm not sure we have much in the way of position players to call up, except for Wallner and Larnach. We're lacking in talent.

Fastball down the middle for strike 2 -- you'd think he would be looking for exactly that pitch.

The old joke is: "Cut it into 6 slices; I don't think I can eat 8."

Yeah, we have way too many bat-only players (Julien, Miranda, Larnach, now Buxton I guess). Even Lewis has struggled at 3B.
-
Yes. Verdgo is a .300 hitter in a league with very few of those.
-
Some bad baseball going on.

Week in Review: Momentum Killers
UpstateNewYorker replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Not much good news, but I appreciate the well-written Week In Review every week, Nick! Players on other teams (such as the Mets) have recently complained that hitting coaches (working closely with an analytical FO) have overwhelmed batters with information, to the point that they suffer paralysis by analysis. This is all I can come up with regarding why so many Twins have higher than usual K rates this season, with so many called third strikes in key situations.- 54 replies

Tough to watch his at bats right now.

Yes, this lineup has some length to it. Vest pitched an inning last night for Detroit. They must be going with a bullpen game.
