    Another SSS note: If Plouffe gets a hit in one of his next two at-bats, he will be at or over .200. When he hit his walk-off, he was at .118.
  2. stringer bell
    I'm sure Halsey will blame Plouffe.

    Today is the anniversary of Mr. Korea's demise.

    Another key inning for May.
  5. stringer bell
    BTW, Shane Robinson is hitting .294. Best average for a Twin with more than 10 PAs.
  6. stringer bell
    Nice job, May! It's an official game.
  7. stringer bell
    Like May's changeup.

    I am glad Dozier is out of the cleanup spot, but I wish he would do better with RISP.
  9. stringer bell
    Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face. I'll get on back home one of these days.

    Looks like today's epic battle is for sole possession of third place. Chiseled down 8-0.
  11. stringer bell
    Is three gonna be all the Twins get?
  12. stringer bell
    Only one single was well-hit. One run wasn't too bad, but it still hurts to allow a run after retiring the first two batters.
  13. stringer bell
    Big at-bat early in the game.
  14. stringer bell
    Will Hughes have a victory before the "Hughes the force" promotion?
  15. stringer bell
    But, but, but I wished you a happy birthday somewhere. Thanks for the birthday recognition.

    In two or three more years, we may look back and say that Molitor was moving the wrong man all over the field (Escobar). Santana will break out offensively, I think. I don't think he'll be a defensive asset at short.

    Thanks for preaching the gospel of Small Sample Size. Well said. The walks and strikeouts stand out to me. So far in 40-plus PAs, Rosario has two walks and 14 Ks. Hicks has 5 walks and 12 Ks. Meanwhile in Chattanooga, Buxton has one walk and 13 Ks. Schafer in fewer PAs (30) has one walk and 10 whiffs.

    Shane Robinson has had 15 at-bats in 11 games, and that includes a high percentage of left handed starters. He's an okay fourth/fifth outfielder much like Jason Repko. The three starters haven't hit much, but there is a reasonable expectation that Hunter and Arcia will. So far, Schafer has been poor, and that isn't much of a surprise. His potential replacements aren't tearing it up in Rochester.

    Arcia drives me crazy sometimes. One moment he's pumping his fist and the next he seems lost. I said on another thread that he seems to have "baseball ADD". He can't seem to stay focused. He has far to man "no chance" at-bats. Nuñez is also frustrating. He will do something good followed by a huge mistake. The deke on the steal was all on him. As for the "infielders in the outfield" meme, I think both Escobar and Nuñez would be decent with 30 games or so out there. They've both already thrown out a runner and should be adept at charging hits to the OF. With a little experience routes on fly balls could improve as well. Jordan Schafer hasn't covered himself with glory so far. However, neither Rosario or Hicks is lighting it up in Rochester at this point.
  20. stringer bell
    To quote the Chief "yes"
  21. stringer bell
    Nuñez in a nutshell. One of the few guys to make good contact, but he ran himself into a double play. He and Arcia seem to have baseball ADD.
  22. stringer bell
    I dislike the two 'fer approach, maybe get a hit, but get a sacrifice if I'm out. However, when trying to bunt for a hit, the chances of actually getting the ball down in the field of play are way lower than squaring to bunt and "giving oneself up".
  23. stringer bell
    Bert should know baseball better than getting all excited about advancing a runner with an out. In today's game, with all the strikeouts moving a runner to third with one out just isn't that impactful. Late in the game, sure it makes sense to play for one run. In the fourth or fifth, it is better to advance the guy than not but the out is more important.
  24. stringer bell
    There aren't many games lost when your team hits a grand slam. To have the top two affiliates both get them on the same day and both lose is pretty rare. Esobar's throw was perfect--an easy hop for Herrmann to catch and then block the plate, right on the money. BTW, did anyone think Herrmann applied the tag too high and maybe the runner got in? On Escobar (and less so) Nuñez playing the outfield, with a few more games under their belts, I think they can be OK to pretty good. Nuñez clanked an easy fly ball in his only start, but he has pretty good range and you'll remember he threw out a runner in that start, as well. Both guys know how to charge balls and make good throws. Where they would suffer is getting breaks on fly balls and going to the wall.

    I credit myself!
