    I get that it's slow, but for me that's part of the charm. I think it's one of the movies that best suits the pastoral natural of baseball. The use of the golden hour in its lighting is wonderful -- I'm thinking especially of the scene where Iris stands in the crowd, but there are others as well. I'm with the Bomb and consider it a classic. Lots of great scenes. I like "pick me out a winner, Bobby" and some others, but the best in my mind is when Roy returns to the clubhouse and says, "Nothing like a farm."

    Props to you for doing your best. Props to her for the intentions.

    The headline says something about a balk. Unless I missed it, there’s nothing in the article about any balks.

    How ‘bout them first-place Minnesota Twins?
  5. IndianaTwin
    It is. And it is.

    Heard it as the front row at a Willie Nelson concert.

    I think the Braves are looking for Miracle Braves references.

    I'm sure the field has been tarped, so when the rain stops, they should be able to get going soon. Then again...

    If they play, I'd expect the crowd to be about 25. Not 25 thousand, not 25 hundred, but about 25. I get that the makeup would likely be a Saturday afternoon in late August, but yeesh. I suppose from the Twins standpoint, they'd rather play this group than wait until later when the Sox might have promoted actual good players.

    EDIT: Missed the last hit. 97 inches.

    You're saying Castro's not 96 inches tall? By my math, that would keep his BMI under 30.

    But on the bright side, all three have been effective! 😀

    Buxton's ability to stay with the Twins beyond 2028 could depend a lot on Correa. If Correa plays in such a way that his contract vests for 2029 or that Twins want to pick it up, that's a $25M commitment that ties up a major chunk of a budget.

    At this pace, he’ll be able to wrap up the game on 12 pitches.

    Sure. Cut the sleeves off.

    Do you know if they are again this year? I'm just heading home from work to check.

    I've since Googled. Looks like I was close on No. 1 in that they were the first team over $4M in 1991 and 1992 and then did it again in 1993, but were topped by another team that year.

    1. Blue Jays? 2. Babe Ruth?

    As in, the perception of over-platooning.

    So last year the complaint was that the lineup was always loaded up with lefties against RHP and vice versa. Now we complain that aren't enough lefties against the RHP, since Julien, Gasper and Kiersey are on the bench? After all, we could have Kiersey for Bader in left; Gasper/Julien to 2B, with Castro shifting to 3B and Gasper/Julien for France, leaving just Buxton, Correa and Jeffers batting righty. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    Yes, a pitcher's bad outings are almost always going to have a bigger effect on ERA than the good ones do. That's in part because the distribution isn't a bell curve around the average. There's only so much better a game can be in comparison to the average, whereas it can always get worse with more earned runs.

    @Tom Froemming, did the sportswriter for the Cedar Rapids Gazette actually play parts of three seasons for the Yankees? Because that's where that link goes.
  24. IndianaTwin
    I don’t think he’ll DH much, if at all. The configuration will never be Larnach, Buxton and Wallner in the OF with Bader at DH. If they wanted to play those four, one of Larnach or Wallner would DH and Bader would take his spot. Basically, if Bader starts, he’s either in CF for Buxton or starting in one of the corners.
