    Good play by Luke. He has athleticism which gives hope he can become a good fielder.

    Molitor is such a pleasure to listen to- one of the smartest baseball people around.
  3. Linus
    Royce swing is long and kind of sloppy. He had a couple of really hittable pitches and fouled them off. He’s swinging like a guy with too heavy of a bat.

    If the Twins are serious about winning, Arcia should be up yesterday. However I don’t see how anyone can say that with a straight face.
  5. Linus
    I certainly wish our current club was more worried about RBIs 😀

    The idea that anyone, including Zebby expected him to be a big part of the rotation simply is false. He was one of several guys competing for a spot. I still believe he can be a mlb starter and he pitched great the other day but it was one start. Let’s see him pitch a few more times before wE proclaim anything. I think the difference in performance was much simpler. He got ahead and made guys hit his pitches. That adds up to efficiency and weak contact.

    Preilipp certainly has some upside. He’s making good hitters make some pretty bad swings. He does need to improve his command. Without better command he is going to have games where he gets blown up and he will rarely pitch deep into games. But for his first stint in the bigs he is a bright spot.

    Preilipp seems to miss up a lot. Dangerous.
  9. Linus
    Yep. Hope he can become more efficient but the stuff is there.

    Gray has been a decent utility guy this year.
  11. Linus
    Just a bit outside…..
  12. Linus
    Yea he and Jeffers are the difference makers.
  13. Linus
    Apparently Bob Gibson is pitching for Milwaukee.
  14. Linus
    Fastballs up are eating him up as well as anything spinning on the outside corner. Pretty easy pickings for a decent pitcher.
  15. Linus
    If he doesn’t do it I’m going to blame it on the term oppo taco. It should be banned.

    The rule says that if the runner contacts the fielder in front of the bag it’s obstruction.

    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

    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.

    Bell is um……….never mind.
  20. Linus
    Yep
  21. Linus
    Molly dryly: this isn’t going to end well.
  22. Linus
    Well at least the BS obstruction call doesn’t matter now.
  23. Linus
    Happy for Royce. Outman wouldn’t have hit those sliders with a paddle.
  24. Linus
    Taylor ain’t fooling em.
  25. Linus
    I’m really happy that Martin is playing so much better but he is not the sharpest player out there.
