    Lots better from Hildy tonight.
  2. PDX Twin
    My favorite (non) commercial!
  3. PDX Twin
    I'm really sorry to see him fade. He is a class act. I will always remember him for the way he reacted to falling one out short of an incentive clause in his 209.2 inning season. How many of us could lose out on what (for us, at least) would be a huge payday and not show any resentment?

    Morneau made a comment on the Sunday broadcast to the effect that other teams didn't seem to hate the Twins when he played because they recognized and respected that the Twins played the game "the right way." This team does not play "the right way." There is no hustle or enthusiasm. Some have commented on Dozier's apparent lack of hustle, and he's supposed to be one of the leaders. There just doesn't seem to be anyone exhibiting the attitude of "if I just work a little harder, maybe I can help turn this around." More like "I can't wait for this game to be over?" Or "Oh, well. I still get a nice big check in my bank account." It really makes them hard to watch (along with the losing, of course).

    I like Morneau's commentary a lot. But maybe Dick could give him a lesson in tying his tie ........
  6. PDX Twin
    We really should have re-signed Gimenez.
  7. PDX Twin
    The ex-Dodger for whom we effectively traded Chargois.
  8. PDX Twin
    At this point, that largely matters because we'll get a higher draft pick if Seattle finishes above us??
  9. PDX Twin
    Berrios is pitching batting practice today. He's been the only thing to which to look forward this year.
  10. PDX Twin
    Is there such a statistic as "almost blown save"?
  11. PDX Twin
    Home field advantage = we get to bat again after Rodney blows the save.
  12. PDX Twin
    Did that ball just accidentally happen to land in Rosario's glove?
  13. PDX Twin
    Ummm ...
  14. PDX Twin
    Well, at least that means we won't have to watch our "future stars" strike out every time up for a while.

    I made the plunge and bought MiLB.TV this year. These games are often much less depressing than the Twins, especially when the latter are being Yankeed. Not sure whom I'll watch tonight, but there are a lot of choices. (Even the Twins ... maybe ... at least until they get depressingly far behind.)
  16. PDX Twin
    One particular danger of the small sample size here is *which* lefties he has faced and how that compares with past years. Have the Twins faced the same elite quality lefties so far this year that they always face over a full season and, to the extent they have, has Max hit against them?
  17. PDX Twin
    Isn't there an injury exemption for that rule? Or did they change that when they changed the DL time from 15 to 10?

    I was an Indians fan before I was a Twins fan, as in, before the Twins existed. My father grew up in Cleveland and had a brother who once tried out for the Indians (but didn't make it). He was an Indians fan, so I was an Indians fan ... until 1961, when we both shifted allegiance. But I've always had a soft spot for the Indians relative to other Twins rivals. My first night baseball game ever was the Indians vs. Red Sox at the old Municipal Stadium with my dad on a family trip in about 1959. (This was a few days after my first day baseball game, White Sox vs. Senators at Comiskey Park with Harmon Killebrew, Zoilo Versalles, and a few other future Twins.) There were two highlights: Ted Williams hit one of his last homeruns and Dick Stigman (from a town very near my home town) walked out to the bullpen! As a 5-year-old, the second seemed more significant than the first. Since then, I've only been to the Cleveland area once, about a decade ago. But I took advantage of the trip (and the cheaper air fare for staying over Saturday night) to hunt down my paternal grandparents' graves in Olmsted Falls. (They both died nearly a century ago when Dad was about 12, and he died when I was 16, so I never had any connection to them at all.) I can't say that I actually like Cleveland, but I have fond memories from my two trips there.

    Five looooong days we waited ........ for this? I guess I shouldn't complain because they were facing an awfully good pitcher, but it was really disappointing to see it all fall apart in the middle innings.
  20. PDX Twin
    Slightly off topic: I don't know much about modern defensive metrics and exactly how they are calculated, but the comments here seem to suggest that range on batted balls is the main factor. But (uniquely) for firstbasemen, the most important defensive action may be saving errors on other players' errant throws. Is there a defensive metric for firstbasemen that measures "defensive errors saved"? Joe sure has saved a lot of them, but I haven't watched enough other firstbasemen to know how he compares.

    And every unexpected off day in April is a doubleheader or a cancelled off day later in the season.
  22. PDX Twin
    Deserved kudos to Joe, but I can't resist saying that the starting pitcher was absolutely ... Berrilliant! The White Sox have to be saying "Do we really have to play against this guy for 4+ more years?"
  23. PDX Twin
    I also love the daily top-prospect summary. It summarizes one of the key pieces of content for which I previously had to hunt in the articles. (And often the top prospects would not be discussed unless they got two hits or contributed to a run.) Another feature that would be great would be a weekly (or even monthly) cumulative statistical summary of these prospects, along with others who have made themselves interesting since the prospect list was published. I know all of this takes a lot of time, but it would be another excellent addition.
  24. PDX Twin
    Rosario has a lot of talent ... but he can be an Eddiot!
  25. PDX Twin
    No 200 minute games when Jose pitches like this ...
