  1. I'm probably shorting Mauer in evaluating the defense so far. He made a trio of tough catches in a strong wind in Chicago. I don't think many (if any) AL first sackers catch the toughest one. In addition Mauer has made the scoops and was heads-up on one play when the pitcher wasn't going to beat the batter/runner to first.
  2. Yes that is correct, but the schedule at the end was a big gift for the local team. Only one of the teams they beat made the playoffs and none of the non-playoff teams was in contention. The Wild had a fine regular season and they probably should have scored more points, by just about every metric. I'll need to be convinced by the Wild dominating the Blues in the first round.
  3. Fine defense again today. One day of bad defense-one loss. BTW-didn't hear from Chi-Town but if she did go to the game, it proved she's not a jinx.
  4. Day off tomorrow. Bullpen gets a rest, Kintzler gets a mani-pedi.
  5. How many were holding their breath with Sanó chasing that foul pop?
  6. I'd dispute that. He got lit up his first outing, but was pretty good the rest of the season. He wasn't very good this spring though.
  7. Buxton (!) averts a nine-pitch three-strikeout inning.
  8. I think Chargois. I wonder about Tyler Jay, as well.
  9. Seven hitters rolled their lineup over, but only one run.
  10. Breslow is my candidate for demotion if/when they go to 12 pitchers. I don't think the Twins need to cater much to him. Huge break on the wild pitch not picked up by Anderson.
  11. Jones wasn't effective for once. He's pretty lucky he only allowed 2.
  12. Grossman with a hit vs. a tough righty.
  13. Dick is wrong. Gimenez doubled against Jones on Friday.
  14. Hardest hit ball of the inning, but not a missle.
  15. I doubt it would be Duffey. If the Twins are still ahead in the eighth, it will be Belisle.
  16. Nice outing for Erv. I noticed the pitcher and the utility man have just "Santana" on their back. No initial.
  17. A couple hard hits up the middle. Nice play by Dozier.
  18. I'll carry a similar argument about hitting the ball to the right side with none out and a runner on second. It's OK to make a productive out, but it's far better to reach safely.
  19. Definitely a better RH hitter. Looks good versus the lefties.
  20. Disagree. It's only the second inning and only the fifth game of the season. A feature of this lineup is that they have decent threats 1-9. Don't give away outs and the other thing is getting a guy to third with one out is far from a guarantee of getting even one run home.
  21. Sanchez and Narvez, never heard of them.
  22. First strikeout of the season for Polanco.
