    I think a message was given to the umps and if they must be more tolerant of questioning players, then the players will squawk more.

    Erv's last game went 2:26, so there is hope that I'll see most of it.
  3. stringer bell
    Time for more "downward plane" and "uppercut swings".
  4. stringer bell
    There is a city government, a public school district, a police department and street signs. Mail service is divided into at least five zip codes, none of which are "Orono".

    I am the Phil Rizzuto of Spring Season Pass holders.

    Hope they are able to bounce back from yesterday.
  7. stringer bell
    I'm at the game and if it goes over three hours, I'm heading home.
  8. stringer bell
    Fun fact: There is no Post Office for Orono.

    I thought all along Wilk would be DFAed when they actually had five starters on the 25-man. The added bonus is that there's now a spot for a deserving AAA starter should Gibson flail and fail on Sunday.
  10. stringer bell
    As expected.
  11. stringer bell
    More drama from Kintzler in the 9th?
  12. stringer bell
    Nice job Hughes!
  13. stringer bell
    Pretty good #9 hitter.
  14. stringer bell
    I missed Mauer's homer , I'm catching the light rail going home, but up until then, none of 'em were cheap.
  15. stringer bell
    Rosario ruined it.
  16. stringer bell
    What's our BABIP in this game?
  17. stringer bell
    Nice first Gibson.

    From what I can see, the new strike zone and new catcher both help Santiago. He works up in the zone (so did Phil Hughes during his fine 2014) and has a lot of balls hit in the air. The good defensive outfield the Twins can put out there helps greatly, so does the weather if the fly balls aren't carrying that much. It is an oversimplification to say pitches at the top of the zone are mistakes, particularly fastballs. Last night, Bert criticized every well-hit ball by the Tribe with "he got that one up", more accurately the pitches were up in the zone and over the heart of the plate. Movement can allow a high strike over the middle to be a good pitch, too.

    I've seen Mauer make a few back-to-the-infield catches that most immobile first sackers would never get to. Another play he made was retrieving an overthrow on the warning track and throwing a pea to third to get the runner. Despite his advancing years and declining hitting, Joe Mauer is a good first baseman (defensively).

    I'd DFA Tonkin. He had a whole season last year and showed flashes, but was unreliable. Eventually, I think Bresow should be replaced, too.
  21. stringer bell
    It's the fifth inning men, time to wake up!
  22. stringer bell
    I don't know who is twirling for the Whities, but it must be a left hander. Castro and Mauer off and I guess I see who the alternate first baseman is.
  23. stringer bell
    Didn't the Twins draw a lot more walks in 2015, particularly when they had that incredible hot month of May? Things do go in cycles, but I'm sure they'll normalize. On Rosario--I don't mind a guy that doesn't walk much (Kirby for example) as long as they don't constantly get themselves out by chasing. If Rosario is more disciplined at what he swings at, he may walk a few more times, but the real benefit will be in getting much better pitches to hit.

    Happy Birthday Mike! I hope your predictions come true and that this game is played. Pretty gray down here in Rochester.

    A regular season Twins' game thread introed by Brian. Wow, this Monday just might be OK! My ESPN app says that the Twins are favorites in this one. I'm shocked.
