    His batting average on balls in play in AAA has been very high. 2015: 59 plate appearances, .500 BABIP 2016 (first stint): 129 PA, .393 BABIP 2016 (second stint): 64 PA, .419 BABIP I imagine International League average BABIP (not sure where to look that up and verify) is more like the American League's .300. A very few hitters can sustain it consistently above that, but not many. And Buxton's BABIP, if not a mirage, hasn't translated to the majors yet. I too would like to see him play in AAA a while longer - see how he does when the ball isn't falling in quite as handily, OR see if the major league numbers come to look more like the aberration.

    OK, so 36 minutes late.

    FTFY. One is certainly a prerequisite for the other. I want no part of someone executing a flawed vision flawlessly.

    Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Bailey?

    What is this nomenclature? Six runs in the inning, all told?
  6. ashbury
    Didn't want to jinx him.

    Bullpen needs to hold together for just two more innings, assuming the Twins offense scores some runs.

    Where did my life go? I think you'll find a clue to this mystery somewhere there in your post.
  10. ashbury
    Fewer batters faced would be my recommendation.
  11. ashbury
    Oh, sure, jinx our bullpen.

    Wonder if any sabrmetricians have done a study on thread traffic after a horrendous bottom of the sixth inning?
  13. ashbury
    Not much difference. Key is to make sure it's well vented.
  14. ashbury
    One of 'em. Apparently.

    Meet the new Jim Hoey. Same as the old Jim Hoey.

    Dunno. Still got your spleen?

    Listening to the radio broadcast overlaying the video. "Hit in the air, left center field, Grossman will never get it in a million years..." I like their brutal honesty.

    Suzuki's got quite the cannon. Maybe he missed his true calling as a right fielder?

    I know, but it's a lot easier to post a GIF than to think up something funny to write.

    So, keep Dozier, and install Polanco as our starting SS for 2017? Who's with me?
  22. ashbury
    This is somewhat akin to saying that between Methuselah and Honey Boo Boo, there's quite a bit of experience there.

    The job title ain't what's gonna matter. It's the vision of the new guy.

    I'm kinda partial to Mila Kunis style.
