    My favorite "lack of load management" story. In 1961-62 Wilt Chamberlain averaged 48.5 minutes per game. NBA games then (like now) were 48 minutes long. Wilt played in ever regular season game and in 10 games that went into OT. (He did get kicked out of one game due to getting a second technical foul. Those were the only minutes he missed all season.)

    I'm afraid we might see all these guys today.
  3. UpstateNewYorker
    Maybe the best play I've seen him make.
  4. UpstateNewYorker
    That's two tonight! 😀
  5. UpstateNewYorker
    There are definitely timing his fastball.
  6. UpstateNewYorker
    Brings back memories of Lonnie Smith.
  7. UpstateNewYorker
    Not a lot of good options for lead off. Maybe try Polanco.
  8. UpstateNewYorker
    Taylor? Seems like he's played every game,
  9. UpstateNewYorker
    Hopefully SWR's off-speed stuff will eventually be good enough to offset his fastball, which today is only touching 92.
  10. UpstateNewYorker
    I thought we might see JLopez here.
  11. UpstateNewYorker
    Miranda, Correa, and Buxton approaching the Mendoza line.
  12. UpstateNewYorker
    And/or they don't trust his defense.
  13. UpstateNewYorker
    Stolen bases and SB% are up significantly. The Twins are not built to take advantage of the larger bases: https://www.si.com/mlb/2023/04/17/stolen-bases-rule-changes-increase
  14. UpstateNewYorker
    Twins' team batting stats across MLB: tied for 21st in runs scored, 19th in BA, 27th in OBP, 24th in slugging PCT.
  15. UpstateNewYorker
    It's definitely a band box in right and right-center.
  16. UpstateNewYorker
    And Larnach is on a 4-23 streak with 11 Ks.
  17. UpstateNewYorker
    Good inning by Lopez getting through the heart of the Yankees' order.
  18. UpstateNewYorker
    Apparently it's making a comeback: https://www.nj.com/yankees/2023/03/reggie-bar-is-back-yankees-fans.html

  20. UpstateNewYorker
    Sano started as SS in the minors and is available. Kidding!
  21. UpstateNewYorker
    They moved Gordon to 2B (and he made a nice play.) I think that was the intended upgrade.
  22. UpstateNewYorker
    Yeah Buxton was way out of the baseline.
  23. UpstateNewYorker
    Good morning, good afternoon, good night!
  24. UpstateNewYorker
    Nothing like a walk off seeing eye single that would have been a DP if the shift was allowed.
  25. UpstateNewYorker
    This article by Tom Verducci points out how speed and small-ball seem to be a strategy again. The current Twins are not built for this at all, which is a problem. https://www.si.com/mlb/2023/04/05/diamondbacks-padres-mlb-new-rules-stolen-bases-speed
