    He made some great plays against the Phillies the last couple days. And he is hitting .310 with and OPS of .962. I'd take that. He is finally starting to become the player they drafted for. And now Trout is out.

    The Twins are sure getting some luck today. Gotta take it while you can. The lady is fickle.

    Kepler is clutch lately. I love having him on this team. All those that want to trade him can _______ it.
  4. h2oface
    It's a new ballgame, baby. Now if Ober can keep it on the edges instead of the middle......
  5. h2oface
    Talk about luck......

    Correa's average has dropped from .306 to .255, since his return.

    Right knee soreness. Very specific, eh? The same knee.....

    So that means that Buxton has now had 2 caught stealings in a row.

    Well, it is a lot easier if you are playing the team with the worst record in MLB than any other team. Mostly, it doesn't matter who you play if your pitcher keeps throwing the ball in the middle of the zone. Even a lot of Ober's pitches that are in the high or low part of the zone, are middle. And many times, that is Vazquez's target! The pitches to Grossman were middle targets.

    Ober just keeps throwing it right down the middle. This ain't batting practice, Ober.
  11. h2oface
    Good for Vazquez. On the worst pitch he got, too. Watch the pitches in the zone, and swing at the one way out of the zone 0-2 and get RBI contact. Good job.

    Were you doing it on the phone? This site is so packed with adds that it can't even keep up on the phone. It's like wack a mole that never quits. Even with 1 gig/sec connection speed for me.

    And the man of glass hurts himself trying to steal a base today. Damn. And he was doubled up easily.

    Looking at what Sonny Gray is doing, it looks like they extended the wrong guy. Lopez is 41-41 career with about a 4 ERA. Pablo Day Lopez is what he is. The media hype is the problem. They wanted an ace so they manufactured one, and way too premature.

    And Funderburk immediately acknowledges the confidence in him with a 2 run dinger. Yikes. I just think he is too wild and out of control to be "part of the future". My bet is with Topa in, he is optioned, especially after tonight. And Topa is no sure thing once he is here, that is for sure. I'm smelling a Jorge Lopez odor. As for Bowman, I think it is too early in the season to cast off pitchers that have performed well so far for ones that still have options, at least for a month.

    ..... and that's the Red Sox, who is next on the schedule. (The White Sox had a 3 game winning streak coming in, too, though). And, the Red Sox have a winning record, which we are 7-13 against teams with (Red Sox 6-11). So for me, after what will be 10 games against losing record teams, it is no time to get cocky. But certainly to enjoy. Tomorrow we will see if either team still has an active notable winning streak going into the series.

    It was still scary. Mark my words. He will tank this season. And they will stick with him far too long. Not something I wish for, of course, but I have had a vision. 😇
  18. h2oface
    Scary Caleb. I can't watch. Especially with a runner on second.
  19. h2oface
    He isn't. Obviously.🤥
  20. h2oface
    Amazing that players that make it to the show can make such bad mental errors, and over and over and over again.

    This is the SWR that is stacking up the poor stats in St Paul this year.
  22. h2oface
    First of all, Jeffers made a great play and the team got an out. A centerfielder would have caught that fly ball. Castro was lost. Not a particularly quick recovery. But seriously. The only redeeming thing about Correa's throw was it was a quick turn and part of an out at the plate. The throw was a 2 hopper that made Jeffers go up the line. This play was all Jeffers taking a poor throw and making a great play. Castro looked a little bit like Delmon Young trying to make a catch in the outfield, and his "out" eventually scored. Correa has made some great plays, for sure. This was not one of them, but the result was great thanks to Jeffers.

    I was afraid that Baldelli would go with Thielbar when Jax came in. Damn. I don't think I can watch. Talk about mistakes...... what a goofy use of his arms in the pen. Wish for luck.
  24. h2oface
    Funny thing about that last change up strike 3 by Jax. If it would had been hit out of the park he would have called it a mistake as he hung it right in the middle of the zone - couldn't have been more middle middle. As it was, he is thinking it was a great pitch.

    Love the tables/stat charts @mnfireman. Thanks for going to the effort to post them for all of us to see. The most important stat for relievers, imo, is inherited runs scored, and it is usually nowhere to be found in the tables. After all, that is what they are brought into the game for, relief, and not to let the runners score. Sure, it is not their personal earned run when they come in and immediately give up the hit that lets the runners score, but that is their main job, and the stat is most important to see if they can really provide relief.
