  1. Also, KC had a 9-minute drive in 2nd quarter
  2. Well you are not watching, so...
  3. The offense has been good today. They only have 10 points at halftime but for most of that, I would just chalk up to game circumstances.
  4. As always I appreciate your opinion, but if true, then the Twins will have a very brief window to capitalize on their advantage before other teams catch up. Maybe the Twins will then be enjoying their next innovation ahead of the other teams, and stay one step ahead, but maybe not.
  5. Yasmani Grandal — the better of the two Y.G. catchers (Yan Gomes being the other) Yeah pitching is #1, 2, and 3 priority, but this might make a lot of sense. The lineup will inevitably need to have some turnover, and if Castro disappears, the Twins will need that second catcher. (I do like Astudillo, but just Garver and Astudillo leaves the Twins thin in 2020.) I do half-expect the Twins to make a bid for Castro one more time. Looks like Grandal has an overall favorable platoon split too (career better as lefty batting against right handed pitchers) and if his framing is good as you say, that will help immensely.
  6. Great player and I’m sure he’s smart as a whip, but I can’t help hearing the old Match Game think music for this one: “The best players.. make the [ BLANK ] managers!”
  7. The call needs to be instantaneous, or the adjustment will be too bumpy. Sounds like AFL had an intermediary whispering in the home plate ump’s ear? Here is a video I found. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a4bJ-MfC24o Strike zone will be higher, and that pitch at 1:03... hoo boy Gardy will come out to argue that.
  8. I agree with the above posters. The strike zone was well called and virtually invisible tonight—except for that one call you mentioned.
  9. Ok this could put it out of reach, if Soto does something amazing
  10. DO-ZIER! DO-ZIER! I don’t think we’re going to see him, but would be fun
  11. CBU update: Nope, don’t want to jinx it
  12. Also not warming in the pen: Cole.
  13. Warming in the pen: not Strasburg (I don’t think that can be second guessed. He’s probably gassed.)
  14. Actually, that was me at Target Field for Game 1 of the ALDS with thousands of others...
  15. That could be us, at Target Field........
  16. Ah so I see the on deck circle has been moved... (As long as we are talking about running lanes and painted lines...)
  17. Hypothetical question. If you could get to bases loaded two out, but no runs across, would you take your chances??
  18. Holy moly, this is a heckuva ballgame
  19. You can go off of ERA, but lots of posters here in this thread have dug deeper than that one stat.
  20. With Pressly on one side, and Dozier and Rodney on the other, that means at least one player from last year’s Twins 2018 team will walk away with a 2019 World Series ring.
  21. Right, and I agree with that, but I think where we are getting confused is that it’s not fair to the runner, who begins his sprint to first in fair territory. Fair call or not, I don’t think Turner was doing anything flagrant or disruptive by the way he ran to first.
  22. I disagree. Extending the running lane into fair territory would only defeat the purpose of the foul territory running lane—since runners don’t use that foul territory lane anyway (some may use it; some data would be helpful). My point is that the natural route of the runner is to begin running while in fair territory when they leave the batter’s box.
