  1. He's reached that stage of his career that every time another team comes to town, well, hey, welcome back!
  2. I wasn't paying close attention but this grabbed my eye. Zack McKinstry just grounded out. What's a pitcher doing batting ninth? Did the Tigers lose the use of a DH in this game?
  3. He missed time last year due to a broken hand. Twins don't lead the majors in HBP but they are in a group well above average. And they were 1 away from leading the majors last season. Wonder whether the coaches teach them to crowd the plate moreso than average?
  4. He's 25. He's under team control through 2030. Chances are we haven't seen his best season as a Twin yet. If that's right, then there will be a place for him in the lineup and on the field. I appreciate analytics but sometimes the analysis doesn't need to go very deep.
  5. Recalibration of stats required in order to make sense of them.
  6. For September I'd at least start by asking him to hit a HR that is not off of a position player who got lost and wandered onto the mound.
  7. We already have a church for Ryan Kreidler. Do we need to start another one?
  8. Does Connor Prielipp have unusually small hands? That photo at the top makes it look like he's gripping a softball.
  9. That was somewhere around 2010. But it certainly contributed to my readiness to retire along about 2013.
  10. As mentioned elsewhere, 17 hours forward is only 7 hours back, so as a practical matter that's the challenge. My worst project was when I had to work with a team in India. The people were fine but they were precisely 12 time zones distant from us, so no one could come up with workable times for meetings during our respective 8-hour workdays.
  11. Another hit tonight. Opposing teams can not hope to stop this man.
  12. Actually, speaking of gamy, the first package of NZ lamb that I can recall buying in the US, was obtained at Costco and it was pretty gamy. Phew. The stuff they served in NZ was much more palatable.
  13. This year, Jackson is either "strikeout" or "seeing eye base hit," just about. If he could cut down the K's he'd be approaching Hurricane Hazle territory.
  14. I think it's commonly accepted in NZ that Possum is the most frequently seen roadkill.
  15. Please shower midway through each game, the rest of the season. 'Kthxbye.
  16. As Alex Jackson's BABIP creeps ever-upward toward .500, he pleads, “If I am dreaming, let me never awaken. If I am awake, let me never sleep.”
  17. It should be his sideline throwing day, shouldn't it?
  18. Nothing really. "Invasive species", and the human residents' solution was to round them up and farm them. If you travel there, south island particularly as I recall, those herds are nearly as numerous as the legendary sheep there.
  19. I passed the moose a little faster than average, that one day.
