    When Bernier came into the game the score was already 10-3 and he came in to face a journeyman reliever having a bad season. Doug's going to play some innings, and these were not ones that would be terribly indicative of anything or particularly educational had Santana played them. Relative to the start Nunez is getting tonight, this one doesn't register, for me.

    Are coaches ever called up for September? Because I'd like to see what Rochester's pitching coach could do.

    The poll would have been annoying to me, had it been offered, because it looks like a Push Poll - where the purpose is not to collect opinions honestly, but to plant a seed by putting the Twins alongside products with a positive image. Hardly different in nature than the negative push polls seen at election time. "If you knew that [Candidate X] had fathered a child out of wedlock last year, would you still vote for him?" Inept, in other words.

    Bases empty: OPS .574 Anybody on: OPS 1.387 Small sample size, but come on. Ricky Nolasco by contrast is putrid either way, .915/.892 respectively. If it's a problem with how he pitches with men on base, then the high BABIP might be not (quite) so much of a fluke as with most pitchers in small samples. Supposing it's a problem with the mechanics of pitching from the stretch, this seems like something that someone could advise him on. Someone like, oh, I don't know, a pitching coach. We're five starts into his career now, and the basic pattern still seems to be occurring. / edit: with nobody on, BABIP is a normal-seeming .318. Guess what that means for when bases are occupied: .543. That's insane. And, slicing the small sample even smaller, when it's only a man on first, where he's perhaps the most concerned about a straight steal, the BABIP is .615 in 21 PA. I don't care that it's a small sample, to me that points to where something has to be worked on. / edit^2: the splits on b-r.com aren't as thorough for minor league play, but this year at Rochester his BABIP is .272 with bases empty, .357 with anyone on base. OPS of .551/.883 respectively. It's a pattern that his previous pitching coach couldn't solve either, apparently.

    Achter ties a major league record with a scoreless beginning to his career.

    So you ditched Algebra class but attended English, I see.

    Achter's kind of fidgety between pitches. Not Joe Nathan fidgety, but fidgety.

    11 runs in. At this point you almost feel sorry for the Wh- .... no. No.

    That happens when they get 17 hits.
  13. ashbury
    Perhaps I can show you the way.

    Pressly struck out the side. Too often, the phrase is used when a pitcher gives up a two-run homer but scattered three strikeouts elsewhere in the inning. Not the case here; three up, thirteen pitches, three down.

    3. ... 4. Profit!

    Anything bad that happens after you pointed this out is on you.

    Hicksie-sie! BA above .200. Keep it going. And a pitching change. Ha ha, we made your starter cry. / edit - Ha ha, your shortstop made your reliever cry
  18. ashbury
    Guess he felt you were hogging the armrest.

    <crickets>? What the hell is a rain delay for if not mindless conversation?

    Come back! They only had the tarp on the ground for about 30 seconds.

    From a certain angle, Trevor May's face had me suddenly thinking of Hrbek.
  22. ashbury
    Wow, the most interesting bear in the world!
  23. ashbury
    Did he call for the wild pitch too?

    Small world. I sat next to her on my flight home from SABR.

    Not a Meatloaf guy, apparently. I went with the one reference I knew. He had others?
