  1. What's most interesting to me is that I would have predicted regression for old man Cruz, but he's the one Twin who has not regressed much. Maybe we just had a lot of career years in 2019?
  2. Do they have the fake people in the stadium here? If so, why don't they have them in the televisible seats behind home plate?
  3. The mute button takes care of it ... and Bert!
  4. Maybe they got the wrong track in the canned sound. Perhaps a Dyson commercial sound track. (Sorry for bringing back bad memories with the Dyson reference!)
  5. Looks like they have officially postponed. Wouldn't you know this would happen after they chose not to get a game in last night. Some kind of karma there...
  6. Will Berrios even start a postseason game?
  7. Is this really the major leagues? The number of base-running blunders, and now a really stupid fielding error? Wow.
  8. I think I like St. Paul better than any of these options. (And he could dash off some epistles between at-bats!)
  9. Riding our luck with Alcala, and it ran out...
  10. Given the possibility/probability of labor strife after 2021, I wonder if anyone will want to sign a contract that extends beyond next year.
  11. What you say is exactly the reason why now would be the time to build a team around speed. Everyone else is into homeruns, so they are not worrying about pitchers and catchers who can control the running game. A team that is built for speed should do well in that environment. It's kind of like having a good running game when everyone else is focusing on defending the pass.
  12. If you could trade Buxton for Merrifield one for one today, would you do it?
  13. I spent 15 years as a soccer referee. I wanted every call to be right, but was often not able to be in the exactly right spot to see it or just missed it. I would have loved to have help in doing the job better. Here's a situation where we don't even have to interrupt the game for instant replay in order to get the call right. Quick message into the ump's ear saying that the electronic tracker thinks it's a ball or strike, then let the ump make the call (and overrule if there is something that the electronic tracker misses). It's still a human making the call, but he has the same advantage that we have on TV.
  14. I'm surprised that Gordon didn't try to get him at home. He's got a gun (or used to have). Maybe he had sympathy on his catcher who would have been blocking the plate against a tank!
  15. I get your point. But unlike any other year, we don't have any minor league statistics to tell us whether the players we want to see are in good form or slumping. The team, on the other hand, knows because they are watching them every day. We just have to trust their judgment (or not) this year.
  16. Ewww! That's reVolting.
  17. I've heard a lot of whining about the players being confined to their hotels during road trips. But think about the umpires. They, presumably, have the same restrictions ... and they have no home games at all.
  18. Well, I'm disappointed its not 4-2 anymore, but I'll get over it!
  19. Yup, but did I hear them say that he had none this year going into this game?
  20. It was always awkward having the best/only lefty be the closer. It might be better to use him in situations against tough left-handed hitters and someone else in the generic closer role.
