Add Da. Not wild enough.

About time for a wild pitch.

Caratini on deck. Caratini sounds like a bougie cocktail.

If you can't beat them, let them beat themselves. Ouch!

A little more satis-Acton.

PROTECT THE PLATE WITH TWO STRIKES.

I thought Martin was a terrible outfielder?
-
Got a ground ball, but it had eyes.
-
I thought you had to at least try to avoid being hit.
-
If nothing else, the bullpen should keep it interesting.
-
I think challenges should be left to Jeffers.

Six innings, 102 pitches, and no runs allowed. Great outing by Abel.

He's doing his best to make everyone forget Manny Margot. Keep it up, Outman.

I wonder if Emma, Gabe, or Jenkins would strike out eight times in two days.

I agree. In the 1970's, when I made out the batting order for my team, the only stat I used was the HITHDHGOB statistic. HITHDHGOB was an acronym for How In The Hell Did He Get On Base measure that I created. If a player reached base without causing someone else to be out, he was awarded a point. That total was divided by the total number of at bats (including walks and sacrifice flies). I used this as my method for choosing the lineup (the higher the number, the higher in the lineup). There were two players who year after year finished first or second in HITHDHGOB and led off the lineup. The person with the highest actual batting average usually batted third or fourth. Weird, eh?

Or it might come down to who gets picked ahead of the Twins.

I thought the question was who would you chose with the third of the draft.

A question popped into my head about player development. (And having an interesting thought by me before noon is very rare.) Quite a few people claim that other teams "develop" players better than the Twins. That may be true. However, what if the Twins are so bad at evaluating draft-eligible players that the real problem is the lack of talent available to "develop"?

Or, if the weather makes it too hard for umpires to call balls and strikes, maybe the game should be cancelled.

I agree with the first sentence but the second sentence I cannot decypher. "Now, 15-20 games is (questionable) and we will be there after this next game (game 5?) every day for 15 days (?) swing (at what?).

I'm confused. In the breaking ball section, you say that in 2025, Bradley's cutter had 5.6 inches of break. And in his first start, the movement dropped to 1.1 inches. In the following paragraph, you state that he is throwing it 2.5MPH slower. And your summary is that he sacrificed velocity for more movement and the pitch has become a true slider. My questions are: 1) How is Bradley getting more movement if the break went from 5.6 inches to 1.1 inches?, and 2) Does Bradley no longer have a cutter replacing it with a slider? As an aside, I have no clue what the difference is between a cutter and a slider. When I played, pitchers threw fastballs and curves, with an occasional change up thrown in.

Why not have optimism? The Twins are currently tied for the second best record in major league baseball, trailing only the Yankees by just one game.
