    ok, here we go Buxton! Edit: oh, man. then he swings at 2 pitches out of the strikezone....
  2. HitInAPinch
    Whew, that was ugly...

    TWINS WIN!! TWINS WIN!!

    Molitor calling the bullpen already. Not a good sign?
  5. HitInAPinch
    Was wondering when Mejia would throw a slider. Great pitch!
  6. HitInAPinch
    AND THE BAGS ARE LOADED. And now, back to the ballgame.

    Oh, Dozier.......

    4 fastballs in a row? Liked to see the scouting report on Martinez...

    "Folks, this weekend, I aim to steer our attention away from the tedium of Wins and Losses, WAR, fWAR, bWAR, xWAR, and other such...... MY GOD, LOOK AT THE GUNS ON UECKER!! "

    Personally, I see zero chance that sending Buxton to the minors will do any good. We know what he can do there....

    I'd love to hear Jack Goin's opinion of moving a player around in a lineup to make him more comfortable, therefore he will perform better. I pulled this from Baseball Reference: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=buxtoby01&year=Career&t=b&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=Share&utm_campaign=ShareTool#lineu Whatever position in the lineup that Buxton hits in seems completely irrelevant, except for hitting 7th. The order goes: 7th, leadoff and 9th, when we start getting into Mendoza-line territory. Gotta take sample size into account, too.

    I've been promoting the move away from Saves for awhile now. I like FanGraphs model: Shutdowns (SD) and Meltdowns (MD). "Shutdowns (SD) and Meltdowns (MD) were created as an alternative to Saves and Blown Saves in an effort to better represent a relief pitcher’s value. While the Save rule is odd and complicated, Shutdowns and Meltdowns strip away these complications and answer a simple question: did a relief pitcher help or hinder his team’s chances of winning a game? If they improved their team’s chances of winning by a certain amount, they get a Shutdown. If they instead made their team more likely to lose by a certain amount, they get a Meltdown." http://www.fangraphs.com/library/pitching/sd-md/ I'll read your stuff a little more closely when I get back from work. Overslept, is an understatement :-(

    Why did Molitor get booted?

    Man, I really like the changes in Sano this year!
  17. HitInAPinch
    They had a tough time with the slap part.....
  18. HitInAPinch
    Oh Good Grief
  19. HitInAPinch
    Eddie on 2nd, Eduardo on 1st. Contact, Brian. Simple contact....
  20. HitInAPinch
    Well, there was that time in Texas......
  21. HitInAPinch
    Escobar pinch hitting for Buxton. So, am I to assume: Escobar to 3rd and Sano to Rightfield?
  22. HitInAPinch
    Yeah, something like that. Group together OBP-types at the bottom of the order so that [hopefully] there will be runners on base when Dozier comes up. And then for Sano hitting 3rd. I haven't decided a place for Kepler [or really anyone else]. I like him hitting behind Sano.

  24. HitInAPinch
    I'd rather see Polanco hit 9th. That way, maybe someone will be on base when Dozier comes up the 2nd time.
  25. HitInAPinch
    IMHO: Bang the Drum Slowly was the greatest baseball movie, ever. Incredibly sad.....
