  1. Disappointed none of the reporters asked about infield shifting tonight. Not a good night for that, and the 7th inning was brutal: 1. With one out, Sogard singles to right field, ball hit between two infielders standing pretty close to each other; 2. Then, Galvis hits a potential double play ball to the right side. Except there’s no one in position to cover second base. So the throw goes to first, the baserunner from first base takes second, and the inning continues; 3. The baserunner on second now gallops over to third base while the pitcher is on the mound with the ball, because the infielders were shifted again and no one was in position to stand in the vicinity of third base and prevent that from happening. This team can have the nicest data in the world, but if the players can put it to use, it’s no good. Or if the coaches can’t put them in position. The infielders just looked so unprepared. Lots of other plays to kvetch about (and praise!) tonight, but that half inning stood out for me.
  2. I kinda have to back you up on this. Once you sub, you never get that player back.
  3. I mean, Cruz is supposedly in great shape and I personally had no clue Cron was slower than mud. But true, not worth second guessing.
  4. In a tractor pull that Mauer finishes in 2nd, no less
  5. Schoop ran for Cruz when he should have ran for Cron? Somehow, not sure how that works
  6. Due up in the 9th: 1. Slumping player 2. Fourth outfielder 3. Pinch hitter
  7. Is that what your people call “math,” and will it be deleted from the game thread...
  8. I initially read this as: Maybe we can trade him to Baltimore for some more Intel Intel sounds like a great idea! Just not sure if purchasing it from a team that lost 100 games last season is a good idea...
  9. A large quantity of players is equal to, or better than, quality players? * I’m new at cybermetrics
  10. Ahh come on, that’s the best part...
  11. Wow, last year, that is not a play I’m confident in Garver taking change of.
  12. I fear howie has been right all along...
  13. To repeat for those getting caught up: 1. Sogard singles to right field, between Polanco and Adrianza who are standing right next to each other; 2. With one out, tailor made double play ball to second, but it’s no one’s job to cover second base because they’re all out of position; 3. With May standing on mound with the baseball, baserunner on second walks over to third base, because it’s no one’s job to cover third, because shift. I’m a huge Twins rube obviously, but... Just brutal. Also, season is not over
  14. I’ve never seen infield shifting backfire so spectacularly, as it has in this inning also... season is not over!
  15. They are on the bench tonight. Because days off early in the schedule, or something
