  1. This article jinxed "em? Tonight, Polanco error, and Rogers looked like Colome and gave up the game again in the 8th. Good as ever?
  2. And Nick Nelson was just trying to convince readers that Taylor Rodgers was back in that article yesteday.....
  3. And things started so different today.......
  4. 9 pitches, two fine catches on line drives, and a gift strike three called. Looking different today.
  5. 5 pitches for Pineda's second. Things are looking different today.
  6. Sano flips it to right. Sano scores from first. And Diaz made the right call. Things are looking different, today.
  7. One Million times. hmmmm. I guess you don't see the irony that I do. Well, we all know about predictive stats, and how they can be bet on and how well they predict the future. I guess I can buy tickets to the playoffs now. The Twins were predicted to be one of the 5 best teams and headed for the playoffs. This all must be just a dream.
  8. The same people that claim RBI are meaningless and outdated, like to use Batting average with RISP with great importance. I guess they are important to a team, but not important that an individual actually steps up to the added pressure and delivers. Go figure...........
  9. Great hitters, throughout the history of the game, have been able to control where the ball goes when they hit it. Pulling, hitting to the opposite field, hitting in the shift to where they aren't... Rod Carew certainly comes to mind as I saw him do it his whole career. I think the assumption stated as fact that you can't control where you hit the ball is just not true. Some can't. For some it is just the goal to touch the ball as well as you can. The truly great hitters seem to have more motive and success. I will take soft contact for a hit anyday over hitting it 95 mph right at someone, and will continue to declare a hit a better at bat than hitting the ball hard with a poor outcome.
  10. "Strikeouts aside, Miguel Sanó continued to hit the ball hard today with an RBI double that gave the Twins their first lead in the third, as well as hitting a shot to centerfied in the 6th that had an exit velocity of 96.5 miles per hour and an xBA of .390." See....... Sano just needs to swing harder and it will make it out of the park!
  11. ?? Ideally, I would want Rogers in with a clean set of bases anytime, and especially when pitching 2 days in a row, and the IRS problem the whole staff has (and I think Taylor is around 50% this year). But it all worked out,eh? Twins win a close game and performed like we thought they would at the beginning of the season. And yes, I would have railed if Colome would have been sent in, and I doubt I would have been alone, and none of us would have been happy about it. And I love Jethro Tull. Still.
  12. Just wanted to give Rogers an inherited runner instead of a clean set of bases. We do so good with them. And that's what the spread sheet says. Maybe practicing for extra innings. And we that pay attention know that Rogers is not so good when pitching 2 days in a row.
  13. No. I have long hair. I make custom leather man-bags. Whoops, There it is again. Maybe call it a murse? I call them AerBags, using my first name.....
  14. Forgive me for not being satisfied with a .240 batter with a .600 something OPS. I don't know why I keep hoping for the potential to actually happen. I really don't. Makes me look like a fool. At least I never spell Kirilloff's name wrong!
  15. Hopefully. That is the plan. But nobody knows to be real. Did you miss the discussion on air about his lack of hitting it hard since his return fom the IL? Kirilloff has looked sketchy in all parts of the game today. Base running, in the field, and at the plate.
  16. Kirilloff OPS now under .700 And now just jogging to first. I guess he is a veteran now.
