    Elderly person unable to distinguish brake pedal from accelerator?

    Is that one of those degenerative finger conditions that most people don't get until they're 75?

    Today is a welcome tonic, then. Although Wallner has turned a good start into a slow start this spring, with today's 0-for-4. Small Sample Size brings lots of hawt taeks!

    Rocco is leaning into this Wallner-leads-off thing. The rest of this starting lineup looks pretty representative of what he'd be happy to go with too, assuming players perform during these next few weeks. No Willi, no Harrison, no Ty - these three would be either bench contributors or (in the case of Ty France) not getting the salary clause invoked. I'm reading into it the way I please, of course. And to repeat myself, certain folks like Lee and Julien better produce when given this opportunity, because replacement options are numerous.

    Well, if Diego Castillo had been available I'm sure Rocco would have batted him leadoff.

    I'm glad those numbers added up. What I did is looked at the Batters Faced in the pitching section. Same as SSo1, so maybe I misadded.
  7. ashbury
    Sure. For comparison, the average MLB team got 8 hits per game last season. If our batters got 9 one particular day, I'm not sure that's the stat I would use in a one-sentence summary.. That's all I was really saying; the 11 sounds great until put into the context of an overall lousy game.

    Twins Pitching Pipeline™. I'm pretty sure someone must have trademark that combination of words by now.

    Wallner and Correa, at the top of this batting order, led the team last season in OBP (if you don't count Diego Castillo's 8 plate appearances with .500 OBP). Make of that what you will, as regards to the leadup to Opening Day.

    When you face 43 batters (if I added correctly*), 11 K isn't really an impressive number. / * edit - upon further review... I did not

    Don't test my patience with this new-fangled NextGen Borg stuff. I'm old school Give me Mirror Universe Puckett with the beard every time.

    Or, about the way MVP is picked.
  15. ashbury
    I meant two antecedents. Oh, and sentence, not thread. 😀

    If Keaschall starts worrying about tipping his pitches to fellow infielders, or the bottom falls out from his throws just as they arrive, the concept may have gone too far. 😀

    Keirsey has logged 3000+ innings in CF while Martin has under 1000 there. Keirsey has just under 300 innings in RF under his belt, while Martin's rag arm doesn't make him a serious RF candidate except in extremely small doses. If Spring games are for answering questions, perhaps the alignment they chose today did more for that than flipping the two. (I'm not sure what question Jeferson Morales playing LF proposed to answer. 😀 )

    Maybe that seemingly dislocated left index finger was more significant than I thought.
  19. ashbury
    Top of the current page, anyway. This thread has two.

    The Twins' hovercraft is positively filled with them!

    I thought about him earlier and looked up his 2016. His short stint in 2015 didn't deprive him of eligibility for Rookie of the Year honors, so for me that counts. But he didn't start a game until Game 8 of the season. That was the season of the Miguel Sano In Right Field Experiment*, but they also had Danny Santana and Oswaldo Arcia start a game before they finally relented and let Max start in Right. I guess it's a matter of semantics whether that's trusting a rookie or not, but the question was specific about Opening Day so Max really doesn't qualify. * Also, perhaps not coincidentally, the season of Total System Failure™.
  23. ashbury
    Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, uh, your opinion, man. /obligatory
  24. ashbury
    Steve Hajjar and Cade Povich. (Well, I still miss them.)
