    Meyer has pitched 3+ innings in three of his past four appearances. Granted yesterday (4.1IP) was an extra inning game...but is he going to be back starting soon, and if so...where?

    Chance of Terry Ryan trading for Troy Tulowitzki: 0.5% Chance of Terry Ryan trading Byron Buxton: 0.0005%. I think I may have left out a few necessary zeroes there.

    I used to go to at least a game in Baltimore every year, but these past few years there has been little to cheer for. I remember a few years back actually taking a broom to a Sunday game during a four game series, and waving it as they closed out the sweep.

    Apropos of nothing...if Toronto can rip off an 11-game win streak, why not the Twins?
  5. AlwaysinModeration
    I'd vote f)Dombrowski

    That's some good intel, there, Hrbowski. I'm making a call...Duffey with fewer than 2 home runs, and will last longer than May did last night.

    So what you are saying is that family takes precedence over the Twins?
  8. AlwaysinModeration
    Any TD folks going to any of the games in the series in Baltimore next weekend?
  9. AlwaysinModeration
    Sorry, four singles, not two.

    Looking at Berrios game a bit more closely. Six no-hit, no-walk, 8K innings....then two homers, a wild pitch, hit batter, two singles, and a throwing error in the next seven batters. That is an impressive implosion!

    Love the format, Seth. Good read.

    I haven't read through this whole thread, I'm sorry to say, but let me chime in on the question at hand...letting Hicks have sustained at bats, including at lead-off, and get some confidence from the left side of the plate, is huge. I think he is going to turn into a long term contributor from one of the corner outfield spots. I would love for Buxton to be up right now, but getting him back started at AAA--and it is working--has worked out beautifully for Hicks and Buxton. Hopefully Buxton will be up in 1-2 weeks.

    Interesting note about Meyer pitching 3 innings. Still hoping he gets a shot in the rotation.
  14. AlwaysinModeration
    Winning streak!

    By the way, Sano looks thinner than earlier this year. Is playing with the big club meaning he is eating healthier?
  16. AlwaysinModeration
    Yowza. By the way, does Bert read TD? He just asked Dick if Beltre is a HOFer.
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    When did AJ Achter get called up?
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    I think it is you and the Twinkies both.
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    Always surprised what I might find in the game thread. Tonight, an impassioned defense of the under appreciated Tito Jackson!

    Just looked up the Baseball Prospectus run expectancy chart, which calculates how many runs actually score in every out/baserunner scenario. With no one out, and runners at first and second, the scoring expectation is 1.43. With one out and runners at second and third, the scoring expectation is 1.29. So Molitor reduced the scoring expectation by 10%, without even factoring in the chance of the bunt failing (pop up/failure to get it down). It's not a huge difference, but the job of the manager is to find ways to increase the team's odds. This was clearcut example of Molitor (micro) managing in a way that actively decreased the team's expected scoring, and thus, chances of winning. "All right boys, we've got ourselves a rally going. Keep it going, let's get some more hits, and do whatever it takes to avoid making an out."

    I just wanted to check in to express my hatred for the ninth inning bunt. You are behind by two runs, and you have three outs left. Do NOT give away one of them.
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    Sure, I think that is totally doable.
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    Estrada with a long inning. Could be a chance to put together a rally.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    Why is it better to wait until the run scores to bring in the lefty?
  25. AlwaysinModeration
    Why do you have a LOOGY warming in the pen?
