    I do not understand how you can think you know this. The likelier explanation is a nagging injury.
  2. ashbury
    My working assumption is that Eddie is a gamer and is working through a difficult nagging injury. I'm not personally in favor of inferring anything about his mindset.

    Any news on Nick Gordon's status? His knee injury after getting HBP looked worrisome to me as he hobbled off the field Friday night. Just painful, and day-to-day?
  4. ashbury
    I believe you are correct, sir.

    Dyson. Oh wait, you didn't mean the pitcher who causes them.
  6. ashbury
    Yes. No. (Respectively.) / this is a game thread, what did you expect? / edit - guess bighat has info. I'll stand by my answer.

    Perhaps Andrew will write a follow-up article about defensive metrics for the infield.
  8. ashbury
    Kinda like an old-timers game. Dozier's just about there anyway.

    Some days: "Errors are a worthless statistic. The Official Scorer never calls them." Other days: "Oh noes! We are tied for 10th in the majors for most errors." I'm far from considering infield defense a strength for the team, but the number of throwing errors isn't enough to warrant name-calling.

    Perhaps so. Someone could do a deeper study, but just this quick and dirty look at Twins AAA affiliates at 20 year intervals of average age (weighted by PA or IP or something, I believe) indicates a possible trend: 1979 Toledo Mud Hens: batters 24.5 pitchers 24.7 1999 Salt Lake Buzz: batters 25.5 pitchers 25.7 2019 Rochester Red Wings: batters 26.8 pitchers 26.4 QED.

    Calm down, Kid.

    Someone else pointed out his BABIP during this period is a possibly unsustainable .538 (or maybe it was an even higher number, over a shorter period of time). However, what this overlooks is that he can still keep bashing the HRs because those don't factor into BABIP - they're not deemed "balls in play". Flyball to HR ratio might be another story, but I'll leave that aside - I'm personally going to count on 3 HR per game from Nelson for the rest of the season, including of course the playoffs. / edit - actually, over his last two games, his BABIP is 1.000. Now THAT's something I'm willing to agree is not quite sustainable. 9 PA divvied up as 4 HR, 2 other base hits, 2 strikeouts and 1 walk. We're entering Ryan LaMarre territory here.

    What kind of aircraft did you fly on to cause that injury?
  14. ashbury
    His last outing for SF was just fine, right? 1 hit in 1 IP, earning a Hold. We broke him. No refunds. Did Falvey give any indication of the nature of the injury?
  15. ashbury
    Amusingly written. But TBE stranded the only baserunners they were handed, and pitched shutout ball thereafter. May all your future picks to fizzle have a similar outcome!
  16. ashbury
    Oh wow, I had forgotten about that! Yeah, the Twins might need to hire you to pick a clicker every game.
  17. ashbury
    Wow, that's early. Do we have a boxscore yet?
  18. ashbury
    Welp, getting a bit late for this east coast boy. Catch you all tomorrow, hopefully with a nice game recap to read.
  19. ashbury
    Right man for the job, clearly.
  20. ashbury
    Did anyone mention, "ugh"? Because, I would like to go on the record now: ugh.
  21. ashbury
    De Aza! I forgot to mention in my comments about Friday's game, that he had a really nice catch in RF. I thought the ball was laced for extra bases, but he tracked it well and got to it just in time. I don't take that for granted in AAA.
  22. ashbury
    I think he showed courage, but basically was gassed by the time of the last pitch.
  23. ashbury
    C'mon Gibby, get that third strike.
  24. ashbury
    I don't remember, but I'll pinch hit. http://giphygifs.s3.amazonaws.com/media/3mYbmxEnZxfXi/giphy.gif

    CRUZ !!!! (I have to conserve electrons, at this point.) What the what? Really?
