    Hmmm. Only down one?
  3. AlwaysinModeration
    I don't think that means what you think that means.

    I apologize for mentally jinxing this game. When JD Martinez came to bat in the 8th, I thought "wow, if they get him here, the Twins will have managed to keep him in the yard this series." Should have known that would not end well. I didn't realize I had such powers. I will try to channel then more appropriately going forward. Three thoughts about the game: 1)Mauer should have been up there swinging for a hit with two on, none out in the 10th. 3-0 and 3-1--swing! 2)Sano got a lot of extra strikes in the 9th. 3)That was one helluva dramatic game. Onward. Five series left. Win 2 or 3 against the Angels and keep it going. Snaring that last wildcard spot is very manageable.

    Buxton sacrificing bunting is always a strong chance to be a hit.

    Gotta slide wider there, Shane. Come in Esco
  7. AlwaysinModeration
    Gonna have to earn this one.

    Hold it to one run. What does Rondon throw Sano on the first pitch?
  9. AlwaysinModeration
    I don't want to see Sano bat again tonight.
  10. AlwaysinModeration
    I thought that was gone. JD Martinez thought that was gone. Wind killed it.
  11. AlwaysinModeration
    Good start.
  12. AlwaysinModeration
    Come Twins, out the wreck in his Rec Vehicle.
  13. AlwaysinModeration
    Ok, time to send Norris back to his trailer.

    Taking a slightly different tact...or perhaps preempting the extra credit question...How many years until he gets to make a speech in upstate NY?
  15. AlwaysinModeration
    Not sure but I think the answer involves the infinity symbol.
  16. AlwaysinModeration
    Not watching the game. Does Hicks catch that?
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    Win series, and split the four-gamers, that's likely all we need. That would be 11-7, 86 wins. That be enough?

    John, you know that Dick Bremer should cite you when he uses your material.

    Tulo with Toronto: .232/ .314 /.368 /.682 Escobar since Aug 1: .315/ .370 / .591 /.961 Here is a fun stat. Look at Escobar's batting in wins and losses this year: in Wins 54 games .314 .353 .581 .934 in Losses 57 games .215 .260 .313 .573 I was definitely in the "trade for Tulo" camp. At the time, i didn't believe Escobar represented an above-average option. My thinking was that the Twins should seek to get, and be willing to pay in salary and prospects, an elite-level player at an up-the-middle position. They had one of these players for years in Mauer, and this gave the team a big advantage over other teams. Those players are few and far between. The Twins only never sign those players via free agency. So I think it would have been a worthwhile move. Perhaps I should have factored in the risk of injury for Tulo more than I did. Now, Escobar is playing like an above average player, and Tulo is hurt. It's easy to second guess. But the strategy of trying to take risks to land elite players is still sound in my view.

    This was in response to my question "Are we sure the Twins aren't chasing Houston?" I think my question has increased validity now....that they are chasing Houston.

    That game last night was just "one of those games." Twins hit a bunch of balls really hard in the first 2-3 innings, and they were all at people. Dozier's double down the line in the first - how is that caught (by anyone other than Alex Gordon)? Tigers, on the other hand, hit at least a few seeing eye base hits. Would be good to check the hit speeds of Sano's GIDB and Victor Martinez's single. If you reverse the outcomes of those two plays, the Twins would likely have been ahead in the game.

    Plus I had called for Buxton to get 3-4 hits in the game, and it was a lot harder for him to do that from the bench.
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    If this hasn't been said before, it strikes me that Miguel Sano's at bats start when the count gets to 1-2.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    Love to see the Outfield Of The Future in action with extreme flyball pitcher on the bottom. Track me down, boys! I think Buxton gets 3-4 hits tonight.

    You know nothing, John SwainZag.
