    Ancient history.

    Baseball-reference.com confirms that no player has maintained a 3.500 OPS for more plate appearances than Royce Lewis's 2 this season. He's in elite company! (Company that includes King Felix Hernandez in 2008.)

    Lewis is slumping. The OPS is dropping fast.

    Laz 'R Us.

    Pablo got a gift strike just now.

    We have a major leaguer playing SS.

    Watch out, Chief. IT came to the game thread, prepared.
  9. ashbury
    This aged well.
  10. ashbury
    Can confirm.
  11. ashbury
    ROYCE!!!!
  12. ashbury
    Okay team, show me something!

    Well that sure came out of left field.
  15. ashbury
    Um, Rocco, obvii. Although Jayce Tingler may have offered some input.

    So then the second surest way is for the younger left handed hitters to get better at playing defense.

    Who gave you this?

    What's all this about meth in game threads? That's terrible. Meth is bad for any living... oh wait, what? Well that's very different, then. Never mind.
  19. ashbury
    The math checks out.

    I guess it was the sign that said "No Admittance Past This Point" that threw us off.

    Any progress on contract negotiations with this player? I feel like with just a little extra push, he can be brought on board.

    I'm sorry to say that I've pegged them as a 78-win team. I had much higher hopes than that after Duran polished off the Blue Jays last October 4, but every little drip-drip-drip of news since then has lowered my expectations. Please, Twins, exceed them and make me look foolish! I would enjoy another trip to watch the playoffs, if it happens.

    I forgot to mention, and maybe I shouldn't, but on a day when the major league team is away, you can sometimes go inside the ballpark itself to visit the team shop, and if by chance you get confused and turn the wrong direction when leaving the shop you can sometimes climb a flight of stairs or two and explore the views from the outdoor concourse of the top level offices outside the perimeter of the ballpark seating. Son Bashbury and I had a good time skulking around for 15 minutes that way, last year. I can't believe security doesn't keep tabs to some extent, but the freedom to move around is pretty extraordinary. Shhh though, don't spread the word too much.

    Unless one thinks Lee's arm will be a problem in the infield, Polanco doesn't particularly jump out to me as a comp.

    RB, you expressed my experience there perfectly. Did you by chance "wander" as far as the other side of I-75 to give Jet Blue Park a try? I'm thinking no, because if you had, you would know the answer to your question about whether the open experience is available to all other fans: the answer is, no. A lot of their back fields are roped off, or at least were the couple of years I tried to go see. It's not bad there, but nothing like at our Twins' facility. If I am at Ft Myers with no one else, I might not even set foot inside the ballpark for the nominal "major league" games. You can see major leaguers on the back fields anyway, now and then, especially on days the big club is at an away game. Watch Byron Buxton bat leadoff for each of the first four innings, followed by Carlos Correa (or maybe it was Jorge Polanco)? Heaven. I hadn't sat so close to Byron since that one time back in the Arizona Fall League. If anyone is on the fence about going (aside from money), I have two words: Do It.
