    Big hit for Buxton.
  2. stringer bell
    Big hit for Correa.

    C'mon Louie, you gotta throw more strikes.

    The three Twins' regulars who have struggled the most up until now are all right handed--Miranda, Correa and Vazquez--so I wonder if it has to do with facing so many right handed pitchers.

    Key game for the Twins today. They face Cease and Giolito, who both have been very effective against the Twins of late. Varland is making his seventh career start and Lopez is coming off two poor outings. It would be very helpful if the bats are productive early.........

    As of today, Twins' catchers lead the AL in Caught Stealing percentage (32%).
  7. stringer bell
    Chances for Gordon and Castro and a start for Jeffers. I could see more of a 50-50 split behind the plate until Vázquez gets it going a little bit.

    Devin Smeltzer was DFAed last week and is back with the Marlins today (contract selected).

    Not if you’re the road team, which is what was being discussed. A road team playing for one when the home team is guaranteed a runner on second with none out is a losing proposition. It isn’t automatic that a hitter gets a 95 mph fastball down. Getting runners in from third with less than two out isn’t guaranteed. I don’t have the numbers, but I am pretty sure they’re available. The Whities had the winning run on third with one out in both the t ninth and tenth and couldn’t get either in with an out.

    Mahle to 15-day IL. Varland recalled and will start tonight.

    Here’s the thing heresthething—bunting didn’t get a run for the Sox in either the ninth or the tenth. Hitting with two outs produced the run in the tenth. If I’m the home team in extra innings, I’d gladly accept the out for advancing the runner to third. If I’m the home team, I’d consider bunting, just because the infield and outfield in improves the hitter’a chances.

    Pretty sure you meant Duran, not Moran.

    The Twins offense is too hit-and-miss and reliant on homers to win. They have decent power throughout the lineup, but home runs aren't going to come all the time. There aren't enough innings of stringing together successful at-bats to produce runs. Way too many strikeouts.
  14. stringer bell
    It just isn't true that bunting a runner over is the proper strategy in extra innings with the "ghost runner". This isn't the 60s or 70s when contact was expected. Batters strike out and pop out at a high rate. Giving away an out to advance a runner is debatable at best, especially given that the other side will have a runner on second and no one out in the bottom half. The bunt over didn't win the game for the Sox, either. It was a hit with two outs by a left handed hitter against a left handed pitcher.

    You're right. I forgot about that crazy Red Sox game.
  16. stringer bell
    The White Sox have pretty good talent. I think they finish around .500 when all is said and done, unless they don't think they can contend and dump a lot of players. One area other teams have exploited against the White Sox that the Twins haven't is the bullpen. They have been a disaster except for playing the Twins.

    I don't think we want to shut the door on Maeda or Mahle just yet. Both will miss at least most of the month May, but it is a long season. Having the four mentioned in this piece along with Varland and Ober is already looking like a necessity, not an excess.

    I'm a pretty optimistic guy, but getting Benintendi out five times for the Twins is tough to do.
  19. stringer bell
    Benintendi wins this for ChiSox.
  20. stringer bell
    Safe at second.
  21. stringer bell
    They hit the ball hard off of Lopez, without question. Of the hits, the best pitch was the home run ball. Ryan probably cost himself the seventh inning with the long at bat with Anderson.
  22. stringer bell
    .4999 swing by Kepler.
  23. stringer bell
    For the bases loaded, good at-bat by Larnach.
  24. stringer bell
    Little kids and all the money he'd ever need. I think it is a long shot that he'd have any interest.
  25. stringer bell
    2nd base, so in the field.
