    If the Oakland batter hits a ground ball right over the third base bag, is that also considered “nibbling” with the foul line? /five minutes late on that joke #timing
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    i don’t know. I would guess a finite number of times? A number which can be discovered by poring through the game logs?
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Half the time, that’s 90% true
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ugh No no no no
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Sano-sie creating runs with his feet
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It was the reality for two months. But yeah, Twins may or may not return to that level of offense.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    almost NSFW!

    On a similar note, the Yankees just traded for Terrance Gore. Hopefully Gore doesn’t report to the team until after the Twins-Yankees series next week!

    This was me, after my 2,000th post:

    well you are either 1,999 or 2,001 years old — can’t be both

    Hey look you passed your 2,000 post... and how did you commemorate it?

    Remember...

    Just to be clear, the 95.9% was from June 3rd. Today the division is at 84% which is predicting a 5 out of 6 chance. (please no RR jokes here!). I think 84% is still too high. It would be interesting to see how many division leaders with 4 game leads at this point, do go on to win. Or if they get passed up in the standings, or whatever. I think 5 out of 6 might be a touch high (but not much). Anyway I agree the standings are much more likely to remain neck and neck and I do also think the Twins are capable of pulling away again, even if by virtue of Cleveland faltering again at some point. .... Anyone else? I'm genuinely looking for insight into this probability thing John raised, and how FOs might think about it
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I've always felt that the postseason probabilities are just another way to interpret the standings. The standings are the standings, and the probabilities are derived from that. Nothing more. I mean, are the Twins still 96% sure to win the division? The Nationals 12.5% chance to grab a Wild Card? So, you play the game and see what happens. Even assuming the front offices have their own proprietary data, using a playoff probability would seem like a poor reason to give up on the season in July with two months left. Maybe not necessarily for the back of NL Wildcard group this year, but for a team chasing down another team for a division lead (like the AL Central the past few seasons), I think so. It just seems misguided and a sleight to the fans. Thoughts?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Disagree completely. Every team goes through these funks. The regular season is six months long, they play nearly every day, plus add spring training and most of February. Keeping an even keel is essential to turning this back around (among other things, and yes they need to start playing better again too).

    See bolded. If anything, he might have took Perez out too soon today. caveats: I didn't see the game, and according to the article Perez had a rough go in the 4th and 5th, but it looks like the 6th went well enough, and the bottom of the Mets order was due up in the 7th. Day to day, that's probably the toughest decision a manager has to make. Not always obviously, but day in, day out, is when to give your starter one more batter or one more inning. In general I lean towards "leave 'em in, let 'em work out of it" with the starter, myself. Though with limited catcher visits nowadays maybe that idea should change.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Oh well. Rough patch.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think Marwin will be in right for the time being. He’s turned into a pretty important piece. Agree about Arraez!
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    True.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Twins fans dwell on the errors the Twins make, but forget the errors of the other team by the next half inning. The double play by Sano and Garver was pretty good.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That walk by Arraez would have gone down in Twins lore had the Twins won the game.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Lets all pretend there was no injury, and Baldelli just decided to send in Arraez to pinch hit in that spot!
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That pinch hit situation is about as close to Pipp-Gehrig as you can get
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Finally, Arraez gets into the game?
