  1. Sequence of pitches, that last at bat * chef’s kiss*
  2. ... never had a chance. #pitching #taylorrogers
  3. Odor and Odorizzi gotta be next to each other alphabetically in the ol’ Baseball Almanac, no???
  4. The Dyson missed some spots in the bottom of the 7th, but his teammates picked up the mess
  5. They had Arraez in left, and moved Arraez to second and inserted Rosario.... aaaaaand Arraez turns a dp !
  6. Yeah, and the first page is blank... *cause he took first pitch strikes, etc
  7. Schoop hits 2-run homer, removed from game. Mic drop !
  8. Is that a question? I once remember reading about a military general, who never asked a question he didn’t already know the answer to.
  9. Not bad for a backup second baseman!
  10. I’m so tired of people bringing up the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 every time something goes wrong!
  11. Francona has called for more sacrifice bunts in the past three days than I think the Twins have all season, and that’s maybe not an exaggeration. Again, bunting to advance runners is not the percentage play, even when it works. In most cases it’s been shown to be little more than giving away outs. Some of those outs would have been hits or walks and it’s bound to cost the team a few wins over the long haul.
  12. Vince Workman of the Packers! Give you a dollar if you can guess who else was running back on those early 90s Packers teams. Hint: Darrell Thompson.
  13. So if Marwin reaches to lead off the 7th, is Pérez asked to bunt? *ducks, runs*
  14. Make the pitcher stand out on the bases. It’s an old trick I learned from pitching for three seasons in T-ball
  15. Colorado Rockies run in 2007 was big, too That wasn’t really a blown lead, but more like a team playing their way in to the postseason. They went to the WS but lost
  16. Good post. Hopefully this helps explain why I was so bothered by them selling last July. There are also plenty of near misses. The 2005 season might be a good comp. In 2005, the White Sox had a 15.0 game lead on Cleveland on August 1st. By late September, that lead got as slim as 1.5 games, with a season ending series against Cleveland looming. Alas, Cleveland could not make up that final difference, and the Sox won the division and then the World Series.
  17. In my opinion, it’s not a collapse in the sense of win percentage, but it’s definitely a collapse in the sense that the front office probably assumed that they had this thing wrapped up with a bow tied around it.
