    I'm glad Margot stole second. Less chance of Miranda passing him during the home runs trot.

    And Rosario himself would not replace that production, because he's not the same player anymore. Even with today's offense against the Twins his batting average is .190 and his OPS is .640. Rosario himself is the wrong place to be looking. Hence, the dead horse.

    Against this juggernaut Nationals squad the streak could go longer.

    BTW "right now" must mean less than 3 weeks because his OPS for the month of May is .478 coming into today.

    And people scoffed when we traded for him. Sheesh.
  6. ashbury
    Oh, sure, he's hitting a lofty .198. But it's an empty .198.

    Caleb "Ferme La" Boushley. Those French 101 lessons still haunt me.

    He knows he'll never top Stew Thornley climbing the foul pole at Met Stadium. The gods still walk the earth.

    Chill out. Only 277 games remaining on his guaranteed contract after tonight. It'll be all over with before you know it.

    "Chief sent me" always does the trick. I'll tell him you said Hi.

    The idea is to get fans in DC to buy tickets tonight. "Come see who the Twins are batting third!" You would think it would help, but judging by my son's photo, it's pretty sparse.

    Older son Bashbury in attendance at tonight's game. Younger son Cashbury would be except Amtrak from NYC let him down and he's stuck in Philly; no game there tonight unfortunately.

    Chief, what became of the Barcalounger you used to call home?

    Little things that don't show up in the box score, like loitering around in the line of sight between Vazquez and Correa on a crucial throw late in the game, need to be cleaned up for sure. Run him in for vagrancy, at least! 😀

    I must have missed mention of it, but I see that our catcher Jair Camargo is on the injured list with a forearm strain as of May 2. He'd be eligible to return to active duty in St Paul by now, but hasn't played. Anyone know the status? Is this a precursor symptom to Tommy John Surgery?

    Every team does and that puts them out of the Twins' price range.

    "Incapable of putting up a fight" does indeed seem like the best summary.

    I changed the illustration out from under you. Sorry. Things here move too fast for me, I'll change it back.

    Oof. You have high expectations at AA for someone who doesn't turn 22 until August. Yes, pedestrian if it were some 26-year old still trying to make it past AA.

    Looks like my edit ninja'd your boast, as it showed up in your reply. 😀

    I realize this is circular logic, and would require some heavy-duty research and database skills that I lack, but even good starters have outings where they go to the mound and discover they have nothing that day. That would be the simple explanation for Bailey Ober's game log this season, for example - Kansas City (who clobbered him) has a similar up-and-down profile as our Twins. One of the skills in data analysis is how to deal with outliers - amateurs simply discard them, pros figure out a framework for the particular data. (I consider myself somewhere in the middle on that, LOL.) I'll stand by my perception of how our team's approach to batting fares from one day to the next. Not every team is like that - the Phillies so far this year have been really tough to shut down, so they seem to have a Plan B for pitchers who are making their pitches.

    Good luck with the site issues. Buxton up, Martin down (ninja'd by Squirrel). I would say Hallelujah, not being a big Austin Martin believer as yet, EXCEPT, I believe it's the case that Buxton failed to get a base hit during his short stint at AAA. All is not yet well, I fear.

    It's not ideal that Duran gave up the run, but not even the most dominant reliever carries an ERA of 0.00 through an entire season. Bottom line, the pitching and defense held the other team to 3 runs; so an offense with aspirations toward making some noise in the post-season ought to win such a game, way more often than not. Don't blame a "bullpen leak", don't blame the umpires. Don't blame SWR's slightly short but very good outing, nor Steven Okert; between the two of them, they achieved 2 runs in 6 innings, otherwise a Quality Start except it took two of the to do it, which is then turned over to the bullpen in normal circumstances. Blame the offense. Except for that blip during the winning streak against weaker overall opposition, they've been the problem this season. Every team tries to whomp mistake pitches, and every team tends to feast on a starter or a member of a bullpen who is having a bad day. But the good teams are able to switch gears and find-a-way against the typically good major league pitcher having a typically good outing.
