    FWIW, I think I could strike out Stevie Wonder (assuming I could find the strike zone).

    Could also be an A-, which often counts 3.7.

    "In the fourth round they targeted Write State third baseman Seth Gray. Gray was teammates at Write State with Twins 2018 pick, and 2019 Midwest League All-Star, Gabe Snyder." Wright State? Orville and Wilbur would not be happy.

    And part of that may have been the instability of the zone itself. I don't remember a game in which there have been more pitches on which the umpire disagreed with the TV tracker.

    A pitcher of legumes. Interesting...

    "In his second rehab game with the Miracle, DH Nelson Cruz finished 1-for-3 with a strikeout. It’s looking likely he could rejoin the Twins in Cleveland. Lewis finished 2-for-4 and stole his 10th base of the season." Gotta start reading more carefully. I skipped a line and thought it said that Cruz had stolen his 10th base, which would be pretty good for two games at his age.

    Yup, gotta hate the IRS!

    Harsh on Larnach! But I can't disagree. This is one of the things not to like about rankings: there are times when two or more deserve the prize (and times when no one does).

    I would hazard an outsider's guess that more than half of most MLB rosters would qualify medically for the IL for one reason or another at any point in time. That leaves a lot of room for strategic "injuries" (and also for players to "gut it out" or fail to inform the club of their maladies in order to try to boost their stats).

    From the Chicago Sun-Times: How cool is it that other teams are starting to think they should emulate our Twins and putting them together with Boston and Houston?

    Did Kaat ever do a game with Vin Scully? I'd watch that just for the commentary!
  12. PDX Twin
    Injury did not look good. I just hope he is back for September.

    I wonder if it matters that Detroit has Hildenberger's former pitching coach (and manager). Would they have any insights on his gimmicky delivery that might not be generally available and would help their hitters?

    Must be "regression-to-the-mean" day (as well as Mother's Day). Slumping Gonzalez and the bottom three in the order went 9-for-14. The rest of the team---the guys who have all the gaudy stats so far---went 1-for-23.

    "That was followed by the fourth home run of the season, a grand slam that gave the Wings a 6-3 lead." Did I miss the part where you told us who hit it?

    From a Jay's blog ("BlueBirdBanter") in discussing the Twin's 7 runs in the first three innings: "Suffice to say that y=2^x-1 (where y is the other team’s runs and x is the innings) is not a winning formula, even if it it’s it doesn’t extend to the fourth inning." I guess math isn't banned on their site!

    You must be very young. Back when baseball was men against men instead of tactics against tactics, I wouldn't be surprised if some team went most of a season without a start shorter than 5 innings.
  18. PDX Twin
    You didn't mention that Sr. Sano was 0-5 with 2 Ks. Average is now at .091.
  19. PDX Twin
    Would the title of the article be better as "Perez imperezes"?
  20. PDX Twin
    You can get SP5 at an ATM? I can only get $20s.
  21. PDX Twin
    Is the score reversed on the CR game? The headline says that CR won.
  22. PDX Twin
    How can there be an answer to that question? There are situations where we need him for a key out against a lefty and there are situations (such as yesterday) where we need him for two innings. One of the fine arts of managing is recognizing game situations and using pitchers to maximize wins, while still balancing the load so that everybody stays fresh.
  23. PDX Twin
    "Lettuce" hope that he continues to excel! It would be fun to have him on the same team as Kohl (Cabbage-in-German) Stewart some day.
  24. PDX Twin
    One of the things I like a lot about this squad is its depth. The hitters can make a positive impact 1 through 9. The pitching staff less so, but if Gibson gets going and Odorizzi figures out how not to be wild after 4 innings, there are at least four guys who should give you a chance to win. Although the average quality in the bullpen could be better, we are not dependent on a Joe Nathan to clean up every game. Winning games like yesterday's and today's makes a big difference at the end of the season. Two losses and we are .500. Two wins and we top the division.

    And the exact opposite was true in Pensacola, where the broadcaster (Joe Garagiola's grandson!) couldn't remember a game with such a strong wind off the bay, against the batters. Popups to shortstop were ending up 5 rows back in the seats behind the dugout.
