  1. MLB calculates the number of runners each batter left on base, which some batters strand the same runners so the total is 30. See graphic.
  2. The only saving grace is how bad the rest of the central has been, but the last 2 games should have been W's if they had a manager who was able to manage a bullpen competently.
  3. Another thing I don't understand is why Rocco pinch hit for 3 guys who had hits in the game and both rbis. That was a horrible decision. Also, if you've faced the 3 batter minimum and have allowed more base runners than you've gotten outs, you should be pulled. It isn't rocket science. Rocco Baldoofus strikes again.
  4. The bench is the best place for the opposing player with the most home runs in Target Field history ?
  5. Having a lefty that can go multiple innings either as a starter or from the bullpen will be a great bonus down the stretch.
  6. I'm gonna guess that's the ankle he has had multiple surgeries on.
  7. I think tonight he breaks out of his slump and has a big game ?
  8. I'm lucky because my wife likes baseball so I don't get in much trouble when I indulge in some piece that may be a little more expensive.
  9. Awesome! Tortuga was such a spark plug.
  10. One of the worst free agent signings the Twins have made in recent memory.
  11. Arraez has struggled at 3rd, and due to the hole at 1st it may be his best option right now and for the near future. Sano isn't the answer and who knows when or if Kirilloff gets his swing back.
  12. Me too, First signed jersey I ever acquired.
  13. Arraez made the statement in Spanish along the lines of "and they pull out their teeth" so Berrios wasn't too excited after that?
  14. That is the best thing I've seen all day ?
  15. As a Negro League historian who goes to the NLBM several times a year for research I have a high respect for the negro leagues and it's players but it was definitely not the same level of organization or caliber of play as the Major Leagues. And just because MLB and baseball reference made a declaration and decided to include stats (which are incomplete) doesn't re-write history or change the facts. You do realize Joe Mauer played the end of his career at first base? His career average as a catcher is .328 I believe.
  16. Twins need to sign him longterm as soon as they can.
  17. Can you tell me which team in Major League Baseball Josh Gibson played for? Maybe you should share that new info with MLB that since he died before Jackie Robinson played for the Dodgers. I think Mauer had 5 SS and won an MVP and played during the days of Jorge Posada and Ivan Rodriguez who were both good hitting catchers, Piazza really didn't have any other competition in the NL the way Mauer did. Piazza was a far better run producer, I agree and hit for more power. That wasn't Mauer's game. Mauer's ability to hit for high average had never been seen before in the history of baseball from the catcher position.
  18. How many MLB at bats did Gibson have? How many batting titles did Piazza win?
  19. Smeltzer has pitched well, and they're playing the Royals so hopefully it won't be too bad of a situation.
  20. People who don't believe Mauer should be in the hall never watched him play. I have his swing up there with Griffey and Ted Williams as the most beautiful I've ever seen.
  21. Winnable game but only one loss. Still have a 5 game lead in the division at the moment and still tied for the 3rd best record in the AL. They won the series, now need to take care of business against KC then again in Detroit next week before the tougher schedule comes their way.
  22. Well, that didn't end well. Based loaded and nobody out and they're gonna get zilch.
  23. Let's see if Kepler can be the hero today, he's due
  24. I'm trying to reverse jinx them ?
