  1. Or auto-incorrect, as the case may be.
  2. Sounds like another starter will come up for the home stand regardless of Maeda’s status. Probably Ober, possibly Sunday. So either Maeda goes to the IL or somebody is optioned. For Polanco, really needs to be Julien to St. Paul so he can continue to play every day.
  3. In over a decade here I’ve never known this group to underreact to anything. It’s a mistake to think this team is the Bomba squad, and it’s a mistake some of the people on the team are making. This team needs to be more like the Piranhas, and the sooner they figure out how to do that the more successful they will be. The whole baserunning debacle is an area crying for vast improvement. And that’s equally a coaching problem and that group needs to adapt as well. The point of analytics is to understand and adapt to the context you are dealt; this team is capable of doing that but there’s only a limited amount of time to learn the lessons.
  4. It appeared during yesterdays game at Boston that the umps were checking all pitchers at the end of the half-inning.
  5. I suppose he could be activated as early as Friday for the home stand.
  6. Probably the most sensible post in the thread.
  7. Waiting for “Official Weed of Major League Baseball.”
  8. Hanging out with Renaissance Faire folk all these years has paid off.
  9. This makes me very happy. Well, maybe could be a little happier if Pablo tossed a few bucks my way. :)
  10. Yea, team!
  11. My birthday is May 13th. Byron will play CF as a gift to me.
  12. The fact that he’s playing at all, in any capacity, is a statement.
  13. Per electronic strike zones; I don't like the idea but acknowledge that it's coming, so I'll live with them. Per the runner at 2nd base; I like the idea of giving a bit more leeway to the runner coming into second. Probably means it will never happen. ;)
  14. Good couple of wins, in faster paced games. Keep up the good work, Twins.
  15. Yes, he could be a real difference maker for this ‘pen.
  16. Of course, raw speed and base stealing skills are not always the same thing.
  17. Sure, but the probability problem dubbed ‘Monty Hall problem’ was posed (and solved) in 1975.
  18. FWIW Buxton is the DH in this evening’s game against the Rays.
  19. The situation is such that I would not choose to miss a game because ‘so-and-so’ is starting today so why bother. I’d be okay watching any of these starters and thinking it will be a competitive game.
  20. He’s behind schedule, not on his deathbed.
