    A few of the interesting squares I had were: - Cave RBI - Jeffers walks on 4 pitches - Twins throwing error ...but I couldn’t connect them

    Also, RIP Mike Bell. In a nice gesture, LaMonte Wade Jr. of the Giants brought the lineup card out to Reds manager David Bell and to offer his condolences to Bell for the passing of his brother, earlier this season when the Giants played the Reds. https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2021/4/13/22381215/san-francisco-giants-lamonte-wade-jr-mike-bell-david-bell Baldelli mentioned that it was Bell who liked Arraez batting at the top of the order. Batting Arraez at the top makes too much sense. I’m glad Baldelli has gone back to doing that.

    I appreciate your recollection of Rowson going to bat for Buxton in 2017. Really, that was huge. The front office was going to demote Buxton to the minors that summer, and Rowson basically said, "over my dead body. this kid is ready to break out. You have to give it a little more time." On July 1 that season, Buxton was batting .195 with 4 homers. Buxton finished the season with MVP votes. Unfortunately for Twins fans, it sounds like the front office finally took Rowson up on his offer to leave. Nothing against the current coaches.

    But, interestingly, that is how he left the Twins - on a lateral move

    Spring training stats mean nothing and so on and so forth There’s a pretty good chance this offense will snap out of it, at least for a short stretch, but there’s also a chance that this is it.

    also,

    After that four-pitch walk to Jeffers, the Twins had a chance to give the Pirates pitcher a quick hook. I said, a quick hook.

    I think Dave the D likes to leave us Easter eggs like that to find

    Loved the intro! Loved walking to the store to buy baseball cards when I was a kid. I could go down a gangplank tangent here, but I will spare you

    Winner! Sorry I missed most of it!

    I would have asked for another World Series, but that’s just me

    G.O.A.T. in a boat, did you say?
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The historic post-season losing streak is making the Twins cocky. I’d be careful if I were them.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don’t have an opinion on taking out Dobnak after one inning, but he did give up loud contact in the inning he pitched (107.4, 98.0, 103.1 EV for those of you scoring at home)
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Speaking of second base. I really wish Arraez was the 2B. The front office deserves credit for moving Arraez up through the system so quickly and getting him to the majors. Kirilloff should be in the lineup tonight. Good luck to Gordon! He is going to need it. If Simmons is ready to return, Gordon’s role looks very limited to me.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I mean, I’m not giving up on Rooker. Right now, though, Rooker feels like a strike out candidate every time he walks to the plate. Broxton can do that, and at least give you the ability to beat out a ground ball and play defense. But Kirilloff would make me happy too
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The season might need saving? Broxton in the outfield can prevent runs, has actual speed for pinch running situations, and had a good spring, which was used to justify Garlick making the team. Broxton over Rooker makes the team better today, at little to no cost. Same can be said for Kirilloff of course.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I was thinking removing some pitchers from the 40-man but if Simmons is ready to return, then yeah, option Blankenhorn back. The only other infielder available on the 40-man is Gordon and they do not seem confident in Gordon. Rooker being optioned before Friday’s game also seems like an obvious move.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think Broxton needs to be up, too. That means cutting someone from the 40-man, but it would be like a kid in a candy store if it was up to me who to cut.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It would be interesting to see data on how often a runner on second, with no out, would be required to run “all out” with maybe a slide, as opposed to easier advances (like a grounder to second or ball in the gap), or jogging home on a home run, or just standing out there the whole inning as batters strike out or line out. I will guess that the data favors leaving Donaldson in the game. ... but I don’t know
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I’m not a fan of pulling Donaldson there. As it played out, Donaldson’s spot was due up fifth the next inning. That could be a two-on, two-out RBI situation.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I will say, Colome did look overpowering against Oakland’s no. 9 hitter (before walking him).
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I’m glad this team has to sit in a plane together for the next 3 hours. I hope there’s a emergency layover in Provo.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Of course that’s how it ends
