  1. Who needs offense when the Twins have starting pitching! Although Luis Arraez and his .774 batting average wouldn’t hurt either
  2. Gonna be Duran vs. the top of the order in the 9th. Stay tuned!
  3. Contact play cannot possibly mean that runners should go on contact, when it’s a hard-hit easy-hop grounder to an infielder who is playing in to cut off the run…
  4. Oh and have we talked about how bad the Cleveland bullpen is this year…
  5. Super nice play, in that it was a huge hop, and Ober did not panic or rush the throw.
  6. I don’t know. Cleveland is not as good this year, and the bottom half of their lineup is a ghost town. I would let Ober pitch the 8th.
  7. The Apple camera caught Correa hugging Ober on their way off the field :)
  8. Oh crap, forgot! since it was probably Gladden on the call, here is what happened: Naylor went into foul territory to field a hard grounder/ one hopper, and with his momentum carrying him away he turned and threw an off balance overhand football throw to the pitcher covering first
  9. Cleveland should get points for that last putout which looked like a football play : CLE: Battenfield 8 yd pass from Naylor
  10. ‘Twas a time when a post from 38 minutes ago was just the top half of the same inning, and not 2-3 innings earlier
  11. Time to end that playoff losing streak! (
  12. The Twins had a similar extra-inning game against Detroit last season, when both teams tried really hard to lose but the other team wouldn’t let them. The result today was different. Give them credit for getting fed up and hanging a five spot in the 12th.
  13. Yes, Jax throws a very, very high rate of sliders. He has a good one but the league is going to figure it out sooner or later. Let’s hope the last half dozen appearances aren’t the start of that trend already. With relievers, we are dealing with inherently small samples, more so early in the season. I’d also like to read more about his pitch mix and movement. Jax has a great story and it was not a smooth transition to baseball. I think they left him unprotected in the Rule 5 too, but could be misremembering. Easy guy to root for.
  14. Last night would have been a good opportunity to stomp their hearts out too
  15. Cue the “That’s why they picked up Hamilton” comments
  16. I think Chicago is too broken to actually make a run at the Central, but if they do, it will be because of these three games, getting Tim Anderson back, Liam Hendricks is done with chemo and back in the house, etc. PS, I’m glad to see some well timed small ball
  17. I did not do the calculating either but only did some googling and spot checking back to 1994. I did not look at 1969-1993 either, thinking that more teams in those larger divisions would tend to drive the win percentage closer to the overall mean of .500. So, this only means that the Twins chances this year are better than ever. Fun! (with numbers)
  18. It’s easy to fall into the recency bias, depending on if their offense is hot or cold at the moment. I think it’s below average but not terrible and not any worse than Cleveland’s. As long as the Lopez/Gray/Ryan trio keep it up, with a healthy Duran, the Twins will give Cleveland a battle. I do worry about Correa, he was lifted for a pinch runner in the 9th Saturday with his spot in the order potentially coming up to bat in the 10th.
