Still at 0.00! Jorge now at 3.68, and going for Pablo's 4.11. -
Great job, Brock Stewart.
-
Toronto will steal second...
-
Good place to bring in a Duran.... heart of the order and all 😇
-
Baltimore was in contention for a play-off spot and didn't get a return that could help them right away, and went with Bautista, and they were better. They weren't buying Lopez.
-
The Lopez dilemma. Doesn't matter which one.
-
Are the high paid vets taking note?
-
If you are going to use him with a 4 run lead, I guess it may as well be the heart of the order.
-
yup. that's what I meant, of course. i will fix it. and unwritten policies are not made to be broken. 😇
-
Puzzling use of Duran here. I guess he needs the work?
-
For all the grief Moran gets, his ERA is now just under 4, and better than Pablo Lopez's. Of the 5 curernt starters, only Varland's 4.24 is higher than Lopez's 4.11. Gray 1.82, Ryan 2.21, Ober 2.55.

Gallo on the way to the sombero today.....
-
So Lopez comes out and throws 93 mph meat the first pitch. Damn. Lopez is not even close to our best pitcher, yet he got the big contract. 3 games in and the FO got Lopez drunk and had to double down on the trade get to feel better?
-
Great throw, eh? I guess that is redeeming. As bad as Wallner looked not catching the ball and then almost falling getting it, the throw was amazing.
-
Poor Varsho. You know those two homers will be on an endless highlight reel. Over and over and over.
-
We have top of the wall power today.
-
Yes. Very next start.

Great double play by Correa, but high baseball IQ for the basic "run right at the runner if he strands himself between bases" is something all little leaguers are taught (I would hope still). I think Correa does have a high baseball IQ, but I don't know that performing one of the basics properly means this was an example of that. Impressive DP nonetheless. “It seems like we're almost winning every game, but we can't finish it,” Correa said. “We have a really good team. We just haven't been able to put those clutch hits together in order to give our pitchers comfortable leads. There's still a lot of season left, but we've got to turn it on here pretty soon.” Real soon, and especially Correa at the plate. I like the confidence, but time to deliver. Talk is proving very cheap.

Numbers. I do miss hits. Hits of all kinds. A couple of those singles after a couple of walks, and it means a run scores. But another walk just loads the bases, and we all know that is the kiss of death for this team. I like all hits. Even more than walks.

So bouncing a baseball on grass or dirt..... on grass or dirt that gives bad hops to batted balls randomly..... is pretty much gauranteed to make the ball catchable? Instead of actually practicing your professional throwing ability to make a true and strong throw you practice hopping it on the soft turf or dirt instead? OK. Well, I'm glad that he actually threw it on the fly for both of the impressive double plays today. And it takes longer with the added friction and drag if bounced, too. Preferred bouncing is still a tough sell for me.
-
Clever graphic.
-
Twins show pop-up power to negate 9 walks. Not a great plan.
-
I wasn't my boys' coach, but I would play catch with them all the way through Pony League (maybe it was Babe Ruth League), and bounce it with a short hop all the time. They asked for it, too. Good practice.
-
No bounce. Apparently Correa has figured out it gets there faster if he doesn't bounce it. I hope.
-
8 walks and only 1 run. How can that happen?
