  1. Hit? I wonder if the fielder wasn't Cano if it would be a hit.
  2. Underrated good move by the Twins: keeping Arcia exclusively in right. He looks more comfortable there and he's got a really good arm.
  3. Really nice to have and use good baserunning speed.
  4. They are counting on Felix--a lot. He might be the best pitcher in the league and they want their best three against the A's. It is a gamble, but if they win today and tomorrow and Felix gives them at least seven, it will pay off.
  5. With the All-Star break coming up, McLendon wanted Felix to face division rival and playoff contender Oakland. They adjusted their roster to have nine bullpen arms, so they will burn a bunch of the 'pen in advance of their ace.
  6. Parm rides the bench for a couple days and now he hits third. Colabello seemed to be swinging well and get bench duty. Let's hope they score enough off the Seattle bullpen.
  7. You're the best RB. Are you going to be at the get-together on Monday? I'll provide the lineup because I want to comment about it--per LEN3: Twins (41-49) Brian Dozier, 2B Kurt Suzuki, C Chris Parmelee, 1B Kendrys Morales, DH Josh Willingham, LF Oswaldo Arcia, RF Trevor Plouffe, 3B Eduardo Escobar, SS Sam Fuld, CF Yohan Pino P Mariners (49-42) Endy Chaves, LF James Jones, CF Robinson Cano, 2B Kyle Seager, 3B Corey Hart, DH Logan Morrison, 1B Michael Saunders, RF Mike Zunino, C Willie Bloomquist, SS Tom Wilhelmsen, RHP
  8. Dave, please enlighten me about Willingham hitting the ball hard. The numbers say he has been putrid for more than three weeks. Morales hasn't been tearing it up, but he's been better than Hammer for that period of time.
  9. Here's yahoosports.com report on l'affair AJ. The writer seems to put the blame more on the club than the player, but it looks to me that AJ wasn't a good fit in Boston. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/red-sox-anonymously-rip-a-j--pierzynski-after-he-s-cut-155121233.html
  10. I saw a graphic about Willingham early during yesterday's game. It said he was hitting something like .118 in his last 21 games. Reminds me a lot of spring training. I hope he starts raking today so that he has some value on the trade market. He is also one who could be moved in August (like Morneau) since waiver claims shouldn't be a problem.
  11. Best case scenario for Buxton is to get to New Britain this month, mash in August and then be the best player in AFL. I can't see any way he gets a call-up short of the Twins making a miracle run and then wanting their fastest player as a pinch runner.
  12. We think Polanco can play in the majors because he looked good in ten at-bats? C'mon. He's got at least a year in the upper minors before he shows he's ready.
  13. Tonkin actually debuted in 2013.
  14. They, Dick, read the graphics!
  15. Well, it's been fun, but I have to call it a day. I am confident the Twins can hold a 8-0 lead in the sixth. However, I do remember a similar game in Oakland where the Twins blew a big lead and Cuddy was called out at home for the last out on a terrible call.
  16. Everybody doesn't have a hit, but everybody has either scored or driven in at least one run.
  17. Thanks to Parker for waking up Dozier. Thanks to Rochester for waking up Colabello.
  18. I suppose no one will be going "yucky" when they leave Colorado. Mariners team ERA is 3.15, Rockies team ERA 5.02.
  19. It continues to look like Morneau will win the Last Man vote. It is fitting in that the game is a exhibition and Morneau spent over a decade here and is having a nice comeback year in Colorado. He is 6th in OPS and WAR at first base in the NL, but does have the best batting average.
  20. Dozier topped out at about .260 BA and well into the .800s for OPS IIRC. Certainly a drop of 25 BA points is substantial, but I guess I never thought he was "so hot". The power has diminished and the walks have slowed down the past week to ten days. I thought the four days off would be helpful (still do), but he might never hit for a high average with his current offensive approach.
