  1. Morneau and Bremer have beaten it to death, but OPCY really seems different with the new configuration, especially when the wind is blowing in from left field.
  2. Corner outfield and 1B is where the injuries have occurred to position players, so naturally a corner outfielder goes out of the game.
  3. It helped that he was facing Odor, who is really poor versus left handers.
  4. After last year, I believe in Polanco in clutch situations.
  5. Gotta score in this inning. Two on, none out, top of the order up.
  6. And sometimes, the defense lets you down. Correa has been terrific, but everyone makes errors.
  7. Well, sometimes the other guys get lucky.
  8. Odor looks like he got his helmet out of a dumpster.
  9. The Twins haven't had much luck stealing bases so far this season. Bigger bases next year might help.
  10. I wouldn't go that far and I think the Twins and Buxton are pretty conservative about Buxton stealing bases. He has the raw speed to steal 100, but 20 is more reasonable.
  11. The home plate ump is not having a good game.
  12. Looks like another low-scoring game.
  13. At this rate Ryan will hit nine batters in the game.
  14. Let's hope for a smoother second inning for Ryan.
  15. That might have been strike five to Kepler.
  16. First official chance for Miranda after he was "involved" in two previous plays.
  17. The Minnesota fan in me is getting nervous listening to Morneau's praise of Ryan.
  18. Yes, I don't think Buxton is a finished product as a hitter. The words "he can be pitched to" come to mind. There are holes that can be exploited, but the holes are much smaller than they used to be.
  19. I'm not completely sure he won't supplant Urshela, if he hits as expected. Urshela had only one extra base hit in April, so to be a plus offensive player, he really needs a high OBP. Miranda's hitting is supposed to be legit, having good bat-to-ball skills plus power. If he put up above-average offensive numbers, he could get plenty of at-bats at third, as well as first and DH.
  20. One more comment on Miranda playing first base--Trevor Story had never played second base and Bobby Witt Jr. played half of the innings at third as Miranda has at first coming into this season. Moving someone to the easier position to get their bat in the lineup isn't unprecedented. It is not like they are putting him in center field or shortstop.
  21. 28 games at first base last year. I don't think that is "very little" experience at first or is a "virtual stranger".
