    I was still working on my post when yours showed up, so I just want to point out that the Twins seem to be taking this principle to a much greater extreme than any other team I have noticed. Their platoon bat at second base leads the team in plate appearances.

    Julien has played in every game and leads the Twins in plate appearances. Castro has a streak of complete games due only to Correa's injury. Santana... well, Rocco seems to believe in Santana, and at the moment he's getting results. By such measure, no one on the Twins is playing full time. Julien ranks 119th in the majors in plate appearances. Rocco and the analytics team have worked out some kind of 3-D chess strategy with their platoons, and color me skeptical. But singling out Julien or Castro or Santana obscures what's going on.

    10 or 15 more weeks like this past one should put us in good position for a wild card at least.

    Fighting off tough two-strike pitches doesn't seem to be something they taught him in the minors. Maybe because there aren't as many tough two-strike pitches down there. It's a frustrating gap in an otherwise promising set of skills.

    If adding Duran would make him the 14th pitcher, I don't think league rules allow that. Probably the question concerns Correa when he comes back.

    Buxton would have scored on that one.

    I used to call him Crashbury here, until he got a job with a financial firm.

    Sassbury, more like.

    The last five are mere hearsay brought by women whom I barely even know.

    Haven't had occasion to come up with a TD-name for our daughter. Maybe that should be it, though it's not as likely to come up in conversation as the two boys. Go figure. That would make me Dadbury, but I'll stick with what I have been using.

    The box score shows it as such. Reconstructing the inning without the error, to the benefit of the pitcher, would seem to have the run scoring anyway, thus the earned run.

    Two sons are Twins fans, Bashbury and Cashbury. The older one is at today's game. Here is a photo he sent earlier in the game.

    They're locked up and each game's opposing pitcher holds the key. The last several games the pitcher has handed it over more willingly than expected.

    Son Bashbury is in attendance at today's game.

    SANTANA!!!!

    I'm not yet comfortable watching him, but he's made strides since he came up last season. Moving up the spectrum from Serviceable, to Adequate, to "About Average Maybe".

    My advice to Chris Paddack so far tonight would be the same as the advice every real estate agent has given me: Location, Location, Location!

    That was indeed the cause of the problem that caused me to notice and wonder who.

    I generally like Plouffe's comments but he needs to be demoted to radio until he learns how to pace his reminiscences. 😀

    Yes, my complaints about Martin in center pale in comparison to the anguish I would feel if I had to root for these Angels.
