  1. only four strikeouts in five innings. progress.
  2. what about tony o's 1973? it included .291/.345/.410 with 92 rbi, 16 hr and more walks (45) than strikeouts (44) -- good for a 109 ops+ (and only 13 gdp despite 624 plate appearances on one-and-a-half legs). his 1974 also included a 109 ops+ (but 130 fewer plate appearances) and wasn't bad, either ...
  3. plus, not only are other shoppers eyeing that lone bottle of heinz ketchup on the shelf -- but also, it often doesn't matter how much you're willing to pay. you don't just grab the bottle and head to checkout. that bottle, for whatever reason, must want to jump into YOUR cart.
  4. good list. 6. byron buxton, regardless of how good he really is, got some serious big-league seasoning under his belt after a lost 2014.
  5. i'd say #1 is good ol' joe mauer's two-out double, without which none of the rest might have happened.
  6. might be able to agree if any of the twins final seven games were against the angels.
  7. plouffe and hunter: the fork brothers.
  8. any night where nobody gets forked or fired is a good night.
  9. don't have it on tv, but the pitch tracker shows pitch after pitch clearly on the edge of the strike zone ...
  10. sounds like you just invented the boomerang ball.
  11. fein's last six appearances: 7.2 ip, 0 r, 0 h, 0 bb, 5k.
  12. hmm ... how does that "sure loss" compare to the last three "sure losses" to chris sale?
  13. well, as noted over at the strib site ... twins bullpen in baltimore: 15.2 ip, 4 bb, 16 k, 5 h, 0 r. last week terry ryan was the dumbest guy in town, today he's the smartest. this upcoming week? nobody knows. baseball is a funny game.
  14. one thing to keep in mind: you can bet we're talking about a young man who's just itching to get his hands on some of the big money. does it really matter if it's $18 million or $78 million or anywhere in between? especially when there's likely to be endorsements and another giant payday down the road? i know if i was ever in THAT line, i'd rather have it now than wait a few years ...
  15. duffey seems to have shrugged off that toronto start as if they were a bat with a weighted donut. take off the donut and the game is a lot more manageable.
  16. interesting take. your delmon young assessment reminds me of back when david west was the supposed prize of the viola-to-the-mets trade. after twins management saw him up close the consensus was "THIS is david west?!?!"
  17. from earlier this month: Hunter is worthless, time to put his old ass on waivers and call up arcia or buxton
  18. i'm pretty sure somebody put the fork back in over the weekend. smart move.
  19. ya know, even amid this rough patch, there have been some impressive comebacks. these twins still have pluck.
