    I liked what I saw of Swim in ST. He seems to have a good compact swing and seems to have a plan at the plate.
  2. stringer bell
    You're right. They will need somebody to start on the 26th.

    Per LEN3, the Twins won't need a fifth starter until August 2. It could be Johnson again by then, probably not May. "Pinto will start Tuesday, then Sunday against the White Sox. The Twins have an off day on Monday, July 28, so everyone can be pushed back a day in the rotation. Pinto could start again on Aug. 1. Aug. 2 should be the next day the Twins need a fifth starter."

    Excellent BBQ. Nice hotel.
  5. stringer bell
    Bad Cola.
  6. stringer bell
    Brian, you are in Rochester MN? If so, Daube's Bakery? Where did you get the food? What hotel are you in?
  7. stringer bell
    Uncola, unfortunately.
  8. stringer bell
    Keep hitting 's like that and some will fall.
  9. stringer bell
    Yes, they could, but Pino is pitching tomorrow.

    Dick and Bert beating the left handed thing to death.

    The Twins are approaching 100 games played. For the season, this is no longer a small sample size. A number of players have surprising platoon splits--Parmelee, Nuñez, Pinto, Fuld, and Colabello all have reverse platoon splits. It is interesting to note that none of these players have been with the Twins all year. All of them have over 100 plate appearances. Switch hitters Escobar, Santana, Morales and Hicks have been better vs. LHers. http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/batting/_/name/min/cat/OPS/split/31/minnesota-twins http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/batting/_/name/min/cat/OPS/split/32/minnesota-twins

    4-Kris Johnson--It is probably make or break for the 29 y.o. lefty. Cleveland has a recent history of vulnerability to LH pitching, so maybe Mr. Johnson will have a good outing. He's certainly done well at AAA.

    I was at the game today. My in-person view dovetails with many of the observations on this game thread. The Twins looked overmatched, while Tampa seemed to have all the answers. It was a beautiful day, but losing baseball is tough to watch.

    Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't. I think it is overstating it to say that if a guy goes 0-11 it doesn't matter at all, however if he goes 2-4 the next couple of days everybody forgets. Of course, it can work just the opposite. Willingham had a short rehab at Rochester where he hit .185, but it was hardly mentioned because he came back hitting well.

    Justin competed in the Home Run Derby and now hasn't played for two days with an injured neck. I wonder if it has anything to do with the flights or if it is trying to jerk 500 ft. bombs in the rain.
  16. stringer bell
    Buxton red hot in his last five games at Fort Myers--11 for 22 with two homers. Rosario picking it up after a pretty bad slump--.333 with a .970 OPS in his last 10 games. Hicks also doing well at New Britain--in his last 10 games, he is hitting .297 with a .771 OPS.
  17. stringer bell
    There could be swelling etc. that develops overnight. I just don't know, but until he's back in the lineup or someone tweets that he is fine, I will be anxious about this bump in the road.
  18. stringer bell
    Parmelee would have to be DFAed again to be sent down. If he were to clear, he would have the option to declare himself a free agent.
  19. stringer bell
    I would pay money to have a foot race between Morales and Molina. It would take a while.
  20. stringer bell
    Inconsistent.
  21. stringer bell
    I know there is snark there, but it just shows the number of errors is immaterial. Dozier's bobble (not an error) cost one or two runs.
  22. stringer bell
    I agree with Smalley. The Rays are short on bats. They've looked great for two games, but they aren't that good.
  23. stringer bell
    Even more if you use playing cards.
  24. stringer bell
    Probably a topic for a separate thread, but how does the WAR for Hammer exceed Cuddyer by more than 50%?
  25. stringer bell
    I am a big Cuddy guy, but he's actually played less than Hammer on his three-year contract. Hammer has a 122 OPS+ and Cuddy sits at 123 OPS+.
