Astros 5, Twins 0, Lack of Luck, Runners Left on Base
Melissa replied to David Youngs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I was there today, and watching the conclusion of last night’s suspended game as Houston pounded us silly was especially painful. Putting the two games together, it seemed like the Twins were patching together lineups with duct tape and spit. Our defense stayed pretty strong - Lewis made a great run to catch a foul pop fly in front of the left field tarp, and both Gordon and Celestino looked quite decent. Contreras looked tentative in left field and had a couple of late breaks on fly balls. On offense we didn’t perform well in the clutch. Some here call this timidity, or lacking urgency, or bad luck. In the box the hitters seemed intent but unable to string together consecutive hits. Luis Garcia’s extreme herky-jerky windup was annoying to watch and apparently confused a lot of batters (apparently the home plate umpire, too). Arraez was exactly who we have come to expect: working long counts, getting his hits, looking a bit lost in the field, but catching a tricky pop foul, still figuring out his footwork around first base. Karmarsuk’s (sp?) polish sausage was the high point of those 6 or was it 7 hours! ️- 38 replies

Good game once the offense opened up the scoring! Bullpen in shutdown mode. Any news about why Kepler was removed?- 42 replies

Trevor Larnach is crushing sliders
Melissa replied to Lucas Seehafer PT's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Larnach’s doubles and his accurate throws to home plate are making me more comfortable with having him play rather frequently. Keep it up! -

The Numbers Behind Carlos Correa’s Slow Start
Melissa replied to Peter Labuza's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Good article! But this part confused me. Is there a typo? Seems contradictory, or else I simply don't understand the point. "Correa, perhaps knowing the bad conditions, has tried to adjust accordingly by avoiding pulling the ball. He’s currently going oppo under 9% of the time, well below the league average and notably different from past Aprils where it has ranged from 25% to almost 41%." He's "avoiding pulling the ball" but is "currently going oppo under 9% of the time ..."??
