JFC Clemens, look who's crawling down the line Edit: Don't mean to absolve Lewis, take your time with the throw for the same reason -
Glad to see Taj out for the sixth. Steal innings away from the bullpen wherever you can
-
Buxton taketh, Buxton get takeneth away
-
This is a fun game. Mark Teixeira is the all-time leader in this category for me
-
Perkins suggested the same on the TV broadcast
-
Those poor CF camera guys look like they're on Deadliest Catch
-
I'd like to see Martin get an opportunity to lead off against some RH pitching. I'm sure he'll take some lumps, but Kody Clemens: leadoff hitter is not a super high bar to clear
-
Challenging a pitch in a blowout in the 8th should get you suspended
-
Wallner is lost
-
This is day 1 of 15 in a row. It's either a position player or make Kent wear it on the way back to St Paul
-
At least they make a boatload of outs on the bases
-
As we all know, it doesn't rain in rural areas and small towns
-
I'm over this Eric Byrnes Car Shield commercial they've played 37 times already. Very strong "How do you do, fellow kids" energy
-
The ChiSox got mercy-ruled by the Marlins today. The race to the bottom might be, I don't know if competitive is the right word, but it certainly could be a race
-
MLB Network/Alex Avila had a nice breakdown of how Salvador's historically crappy pitch framing has actually put him in a really good position to see and make challenge calls on balls at the bottom of the zone. That overturn on Keaschall couldn't have been a better illustration of that
-
They need to hit CTRL+ALT+DEL on this game, this season, this franchise
-
Forecast for now looks like the thunderstorms might hold off until after the game and clear out of town by gametime tomorrow. Considering that the ChiSox have already postponed tomorrow's game, I think they're going to be pretty fortunate to have gotten this whole series in as scheduled. Hopefully this weather luck follows them back to MN and the home opener is merely dry and cold instead of wet and cold. Either way, I'll be giving the $2 pregame Twins Pils deal a test drive

Looks like Wallner and Jeffers swap spots, but everything else is the same compared to the other games vs lefties. Early on, it seems like Shelton uses a more static lineup than we've been used to. The following batters have occupied the same slot in the batting order for all their own starts: Martin(1), Clemens(1), Buxton(2), Keaschall(3), Larnach(7), Lewis(8), Lee(9), and Gray(9-only once, but technically still correct!) Since that has resulted in Clemens leading off to avoid making anyone else move around in the lineup (or God forbid, allow Martin to face a righty), I'm not convinced that's a good thing

I just saw something launch from Cape Canaveral a couple weeks ago My sister-in-law is a rocket scientist at NASA. My wife got leveled by food poisoning hours after we landed there and was down for two days. Fun trip!
-
The problems with roster imbalance certainly run deeper than any one player. I think a lot of the focus right now is on Larnach because they had the easiest off-ramp from him in the offseason, which makes his mere presence seem disappointing. So it's easy to see him as the cause of the logjam at DH/the corners in that sense.

Are you sure they don't desire horrible QB play???
-
The Rockies also recently addressed their biggest problem by breaking the chain of internal nepo-hires and bringing in someone in Paul DePodesta that can pull their baseball ops out of the stone age. The Hope-o-Meter is determined by direction as well as current standing. And after the Charlie Brown-esque pulling of the football that was the potential team sale last summer, the hopes of Twins fans are pointing in the opposite direction. Doesn't surprise me at all to see the Rockies above the Twins and a few other teams in that regard
-
I'm not surprised to see something like this go down as everyone figures out the process. I wonder if in the confusion, Helsley signaled it twice and Shelton only saw the second, later signal. To me, the only surprising aspect of all this is that the first manager ejected in such a fashion wasn't Aaron Boone
