I'm still mad at Rortvedt for that rundown mistake that cost us a game vs. Oakland: https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-twins-oakland-defensive-lapses-josh-donaldson-ben-rortvedt/600057935/
I agree. I don't see a downside to the MVP vote bonuses. If he's getting those votes, the money will be well spent.
Awesome job by the front office. It would have been devastating to lose our best player since Mauer and Johan.
The Twins should have never let Wade, Jr. go and kept him instead of Cave, or kept both, as the year they were both on the team Cave has less HR pop and Wade is better in nearly every way..
This is a great game. Jax and Ober are basically "bonus" pitching for the Twins. Pretty good signs for the future if either or both of them can hold their own at all in the major leagues.
Velocity and xBA are great measures of a "quality at bat." If you hit the ball 95+ mph, that's a good AB. If it happens to be right at a fielder, well, you can't control that.
