  1. Apparently Bob Gibson is pitching for Milwaukee.
  2. Fastballs up are eating him up as well as anything spinning on the outside corner. Pretty easy pickings for a decent pitcher.
  3. If he doesn’t do it I’m going to blame it on the term oppo taco. It should be banned.
  4. The rule says that if the runner contacts the fielder in front of the bag it’s obstruction.
  5. Molitor said something really interesting a couple games ago when asked how he got out of slumps. He said I started hitting to right field and worked my way around. Makes sense from a get your swing perspective
  6. I think the rule is poorly written. As the TV crew explained the rule the umpires applied it correctly which is their job. They don’t have the liberty to change the rule on the fly, even if it flawed. It happened so fast that I don’t know if Royce tried to put his foot there or it ended up there because he was tracking the incoming ball. The really crazy part of the rule is no provision for which base the runner is trying to obtain but again the umps can’t change that. One point of clarification on Clemons baserunning. There is a set play where a runner rounding second will hang himself out to dry in order to get the cutoff man to cut the ball and let the runner score. Essentially you are trading an out for a run. The mistake was that you only use that play when the runner is likely to be out at the plate. It appeared that Keaschall was going to score so it was not the correct time to do it. Kody correctly got himself in a rundown so Royce could gain second base. Or he could have screwed up by overrunning the base but it appeared that he did it on purpose - I guess only Kody knows. Teams don’t seem to use this play as much anymore.
  7. Well at least the BS obstruction call doesn’t matter now.
  8. Happy for Royce. Outman wouldn’t have hit those sliders with a paddle.
  9. I’m really happy that Martin is playing so much better but he is not the sharpest player out there.
  10. Ok Martin needs his challenge privileges taken away. The guy is 0 for his lifetime.
  11. 6:10. moved up because of the T wolves game.
  12. Not sure what happened there. I’m not sure Kreidler knew what he was doing. Looked like a straight steal which is not smart with a guy on third and 2 outs.
  13. Brooks with a great tag. Flashing the leather tonight.
  14. Obviously Wallner was a black hole but the Twins have plenty of those. Here would be an interesting query: where does the Twins infield rank for offensive production? Or worse yet, corner infield infield production?
  15. They might but as someone above said it would have to be soon. I’m still sticking with my 75 win prediction
  16. Really enjoying Molly in the booth. He says something when he has something to say. He is so knowledgeable. I think Cory is nervous at how much quiet there is as he seems to be talking more.
