    2023: 6-7 2022: 6-13 2021: 11-8 2020: 7-3 So 30-31 over the past four years entering this season. The 1-7 stretch over 11 days in September 2022 are so etched in our consciousness that they outweigh that they have been 29-24 otherwise.

    The places below where there are red lines are days off, either by schedule or by manager's choice. DH stands for doubleheader. The highlighted games are days he didn't play the whole game, either being out early in a blowout (1), pinch hitting/running and staying in or coming in as a defensive replacement. So he did have multiple back-to-back (or more) outings. But Buxton's defense, today isn't a day off after one day of action, considering he played center and then DHed in St. Paul on Thursday and Friday. (I didn't see Buxton, so this isn't a reflection on how he looked, just a summary of when he's played.

    They tied us.

    Assuming that we hang on to lose, this will be the 22nd game out of 44 that is part of either a winning or losing streak that is five games or more. I don’t know if that’s a high percentage, but it sure seems like it.

    I don’t think they should put the white flag on waivers. They may need to have it available for waving on another day.

    I’m on the radio. Would any of our other first basemen pulled off the double play?
  7. IndianaTwin
    Or a spork if packing light.

    Right after saying to myself how nice it is to have Perkins rather than Gladden as the color guy on the radio, Perkins is discussing Ober’s pitch count and says, “He’s hitting foul ball after foul ball after foul ball. That’s not a problem unless there’s two strikes.” Glen, the way it works is that after a player hits two foul balls, it’s a given that any remaining foul balls will happen with two strikes.

    His overall stats speak to how bad he was early, but Farmer is 8 for 24, plus three walks, since April 27. It works out to a .949 OPS.

    I like this approach.
  11. IndianaTwin
    Buxton can cover both center and right.
  12. IndianaTwin
    And no mountain in Mountain Lake, MN. Also, no actual rally in Rally Sausage. Too soon?

    That’s quite a quintet of obscurity! Five worthy candidates. Thanks for including the back. On this set, it almost seems like I remember the back as well as the front. The comment on the Traded set had me wondering. Recognizing that they didn’t happen every year, what’s the most significant Twin card from a Traded set?

    I haven't been a baseball manager, but as a manager in a lot of other situations, I've found that public humiliation is rarely the most effective way to motivate people for positive change. Another key part of managing people is knowing them well enough to discern what kind of accountability is going to be most helpful in which situation. We also have no idea what's happening behind closed doors. Look at today's lineup, for example. Might the fact that Margot is in center today rather than Castro be a part of the accountability equation? If I'm remembering correctly, last season Kepler had a couple mental gaffes in the midseason and later credited some significant conversations with Rocco as being key to his turning his season around.

    To those crying for Castro not to be in center, you get your wish today:
  16. IndianaTwin
    There are other ways to hold players accountable besides benching.
  17. IndianaTwin
    That would be inconvenient, in that they have a home game tomorrow.
  18. IndianaTwin
    Yes. It gets measured in total, so four runs in nine innings would not be considered a QS, ironically enough, even though three runs in six innings is.
  19. IndianaTwin
    What's the combined monetary value of 25 mother pigs and 25 male deer? That would be 50 sows and bucks.
  20. IndianaTwin
    Carry me on without me, folks. Hawkeye native needs to catch WNBA opening night.
  21. IndianaTwin
    So you're saying it's not a conspiracy? /s Agree with many -- option availability and timing are key.
  22. IndianaTwin
    That’s your (tied for) first place (for a few minutes) Minnesota Twins.
  23. IndianaTwin
    Checking in with IT Jr. from Four Winds Field in South Bend, watching the Kernels hook up with the homestanding Cubs.
  24. IndianaTwin
    Listening on the radio. How large is the crowd? Or is it just an active crowd mic?
  25. IndianaTwin
    Thinking of driving out of town tonight for better darkness.
