Evander Holyfield?
-
That’s awesome. And also says something about the nature of bench-clearing brawls. Sometimes they are legit, but sometimes it’s just guys dancing around.
-
I didn’t tune in in time, but I did see an article the other day highlighting A-Rod’s nudging him over to play SS in his final ASG. Other stuff aside, that was a classy gesture on A-Rod’s part.
-
The All-Star Game has lost a lot of luster for me since I was a kid, but when I think about a 182-174 NBA ASG, or 14-12 in the NHL, this still at least resembles a real game.
-
At 21 pitches for a reliever, with a full bullpen of guys, I wonder if Albies is the last guy Cano gets. EDIT: Quick resolution.

I always enjoy playing around with rotation scenarios. It will be interesting to see how they (re)line things up after the break. With the four-day break, anyone would be pitching on at least four days rest, so all are options. If they were to stay in sequence, it would be Maeda-Lopez-Ober-Gray-Ryan. Ryan has struggled a bit recently, so I wouldn’t go there. It seems like an opportunity to give Ober some extra days and save some innings. Same with our post-TJS Maeda. Particularly if Lopez doesn’t throw today, and even if he throws no more than 20 pitches, I’d go with him. Then I think I’d go Maeda since it will have already been more than a week. Then I’d go with Gray on Sunday, followed by Ober and Ryan. Whadaya think (and to keep it easier, let’s ignore the Keuchel discussion)?
-
These managers are worse than Rocco. Won’t even let their starters throw more than an inning…
-
He’s another example of how they were probably a better team in 1988 than 1987. They won six more games in 1988, but still finished 13 behind the Bash Brothers.
-
1924, to be precise. Wonder if the Twins will do anything with that next year. They pretty much ignore any Washington stuff. Interestingly, their manager was only 27 at the time, making TK look like a senior citizen when he first won.
-
Yes.
-
Selected in 1988. Let’s see — who would have been the manager that year? EDIT to add: In Laudner’s defense, he was at .264 with 9 homers at the break. Don’t know an easy way to check on other catchers at that point in the year, but that’s probably not an awful selection.
-
If that doesn’t get overturned, he’s the clear MVP leader. Still may be. Unless it’s Garcia. Anyone ever win it for their defense?
-
Carew had 36 plate appearances as a Twin. Reflective of always batting at the top of the order, with smaller rosters, when teams tried to win. Unfortunately, he was only 5 for 31 in those plate appearances.
-
Looking at the list at https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/MIN/bat-all-star.shtml is interesting.
-
Trails only Brian Dozier in career All-Star Game OPS as a Twin. (Laudner doubled in his only AB. Dozier homered.)
-
A few more pitches than ideal for Gray, but good enough for a throw day.
-
Okay, Sonny. How about a quick 10-pitch inning and safely get back on the plane back home?
-
Just another game of swinging for the fences. Not a single sacrifice bunt yet.
-
Their version of the 10-second delay? 😄
-
As articulate as Chris Archer was, he would have been fun to have a mic on when pitching.
-
Doink.
-
That bottom of the first was incredibly entertaining with Freddie and Mookie on the mic.
-
(I’m a couple minutes behind, after rewinding to catch the player intros.)
-
Cole channeling his Lefty Grove — need “clean living and a fast outfield.”
-
Cole is living right!
