0-4 since Royce returned.
Announcers said “if both teams are upset with the umpiring, that means you are doing a good job.”
Or…if you actually did a good job, neither team would be upset with your umpiring?
The two homers he hit in Washington. Kind feels like he needs to start letting the ball travel more.
Also, KC outscored the good guys 19-18 in the series.
This is an odd question to ask in this thread, because I can’t figure out how it would work, but would the Twins be better off giving Victor Robles a shot over Margot? He was just DFAed by the Nats, and has a higher salary than Margot.
I’m not sure the bullpen chart is exactly right,
Beautiful night for a shutout at Nats Park tonight. And George Washington won the Racing Presidents race.
Pretty simple, in my view. He had nine Ks. Bailey, I’ll let you go out there and try to get a 10th K. If you get to 10, then I’ll pull you. If you give up a baserunner, I’ll pull you.
If he had been relieved when he gave up the single to Grossman, he would have had negative WPA, because the White Sox were about 20% chance to win there. By putting two runners on base, he made getting that last out way more valuable.
Yes. He moved the outcome from 83% likely win for the Twins to 100%. In between that he moved it higher by recording outs, and lower by allowing baserunners, but at the end of the game, he got to the same place.
There were eight golden pitches last night; the two to Pham, three to Grossman, and three to Lee. Once Mendick walked, the game could have ended in a win or a loss on any of those pitches.
