    Plouffe is pretty good at catching foul pops behind him.
  2. stringer bell
    Uh oh. Dozier out.
  3. stringer bell
    Why yes! That's the ticket!
  4. stringer bell
    Man, this team has a lot of slow guys.
  5. stringer bell
    E-6.
  6. stringer bell
    I think the book on Arcia is "don't throw him a strike".
  7. stringer bell
    I think Morales can hit.

    I wonder if TK's head is exploding. Dozier changed his approach dramatically--he pulls more balls and tries to jerk inside pitches. I think that does hurt his BA, but this year, at least, he has more than made up for it by drawing so many free passes. He is on a 100 walk pace which makes up for a lot of singles.

    A more evenhanded take than the thread on the forum. I want Pinto to make some progress receiving and throwing as well as getting consistent at-bats. I think that is best done in the minors. Spoiler alert--learning to hit solely right handed is probably best done in the minors, too.

    Going into tonight, the Twins had 100 games remaining on their schedule. With 62 games in the books, here are the lefty-righty splits: http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/batting/_/name/min/split/31/minnesota-twins http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/batting/_/name/min/split/32/minnesota-twins A few things to note--Dozier and Plouffe have been thought to be lefty-killers, but they show very little difference in their splits. The Twins aren't very good against LH pitching. Perhaps Morales will help in that regard. Mauer has really struggled against southpaws. But he's really struggled against everybody. He must think there are 15 guys playing defense when he hits. There are several guys with reverse splits--Willingham, Nuñez, Pinto, Parmelee, and the aforementioned Plouffe and Dozier.

    "Tuck in in". Those wacky Canadians!
  12. stringer bell
    KC & Burton both take a step back from the cliff.
  13. stringer bell
    Further, on Pinto's defense, he works hard and has a strong enough arm to be adequate. His throwing mechanics are messed up right now and I think it's hard to work something like that in Josmil's current role.
  14. stringer bell
    I think that Pinto can be a regular on a contending team. Also, I think his bat will be better than his defense. The key is for him to get as good as he can with his receiving and pitcher-handling skills. He will be a decent hitter.

    Arcia & Pinto (Venezuela), Nuñez & Santana (Dominican Republic) and Morales (Cuba). No Puerto Ricans? I guess we have to wait for Rosario and Berrios.
  16. stringer bell
    It looks like Happ has enough stuff to challenge hitters like he did with Zuke and Esco. It has to drive a team crazy to see a guy continue to nibble until his back against the wall.
  17. stringer bell
    Soft tosser?
  18. stringer bell
    More discipline from Arcia!
  19. stringer bell
    In-game oxygen break?
  20. stringer bell
    That's all right, Joey will pick him up.
  21. stringer bell
    Correia's ERA is below 6. I'm going to hazard a guess that he won't finish the game there.
  22. stringer bell
    Jack talking Correia up, Bremer throwing him under the bus.
  23. stringer bell
    Is it disloyal for me to say "let's win this one 9-8"?
  24. stringer bell
    Look out, the Jays might prove you wrong.
  25. stringer bell
    I gotta remember, you're not a fan are you?
