  1. The twins have been really quick to take the base on balls in the dirt. I applaud.
  2. Yes. (Actually an intentional typo, just to keep things interesting. Circus "Update" Boy)
  3. I woulda totally wiffed on this. "I miss Ernie" would have been a wrong response. "Now he's in Cooperstown." would also have missed it. Is he then the conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra?
  4. A compromise: If you've ever seen the movie Brazil, they got these tiny tv screens which they put enormous magnifying lenses over. Makes for wonderful visuals...
  5. I meant to say that... (For those of you not a-watchin', Hunter puts a single to shallow right center, and Mauer pokes one through the right side of the infield. Hunter goes to 3rd drawing a direct throw to third which is off. Mauer follows to second and beats the throw from the 3rd baseman) CBU!
  6. Hunter and Mauer mentorin' on the base paths...
  7. Don't know, but i expect he's no more in the dog house than Torii was yesterday. But that's a good question. Does Molitor have a dog house?
  8. I also gotta read me this thread in a slower and deliberate fashion. There was poetry. Good stuff. And i's sad i did not the contribute. And having asked what we learned, i gotta learn too, if only to set a good example. But yeah, as fun as it may be to give folk a hard time, life is probably more important than game threads, so don't be too hard on anyone who acknowledges that... Anyway, yeah... Find time to read. Learn something myself, and perhaps contribute a bit more next time.
  9. Runner on second with one out. This sounds familiar for some reason...
  10. If you were a twin, we'd have the lead. Hope one of the Twins can say as much soon.
  11. Hicks beats out the dribbler! On first with no outs... Looks good.
  12. If he must fail, i'm glad he chose that to fail on...
  13. Perhaps just barely, as they are professionals, but ranging that way and then making the throw is more difficult than it looks. Trying to put anything extra on the throw is likely to pull it up the third base line, just like he did... (I remember thinking the same thing when Hicks airmailed that sort of throw in spring training a year ago)
  14. We be tied! (i's happy, but not satisfied)
  15. Gibson strands another runner in scoring position. Have both teams stranded a runner at second and a runner at third now?
  16. I didn't see it (nor am i Halsey) but might it have been one of those "hit and run, and wait at second to see if it is a double or a fly out"?
  17. That had not occurred to me. I went back and looked at the record. Indeed 3 AL teams had losing records: The Yankees, the Orioles, and the Indians. And before inter-league play, those 3 had to lose enough for the other 11. So my hat's off to them for their noble sacrifice in making everyone else feel better. But speaking of tough divisions... 33/115 and 35/122 both apparently round to .287, but the first fraction must be greater than the second, 'cause they list Hunter first in the batting averages. I might have to pull out a calculator to verify...
  18. I am in awe of your 3d thinking! I surmise you too would have defeated old school Kahn in the second movie. I think you will find the answer in the xkcd state shapes map... (hold on a moment...) https://xkcd.com/1079/
  19. Probably the thumb. Opposable digits, especially non-human, are often disconcerting.
