    Anyone else on TwinsTV? For a little while, it had the Twins up 1-0. Fake news. Alternate facts. Outright lies right on TV. Man, you can't get away from it these days.

    Man, attendance at Progressive Field is positively Target Field-ish

    Did Rocco remove last night's starter based on a predetermined criteria or not? Did he decide, well before a pitch was thrown, that "third time through" was THE deciding factor, or didn't he? I think thats a pretty clear yes. Not effectiveness. Not fatigue. Not even pitches, or innings. Just a set criteria. If you're good with that, fine. Defend it. But the post above is just an ad hoc attack on anyone who dares have a difference of opinion on the manager. It has zero to do with the actual circumstances of last night's game, or for that matter the manager's actual performance, short or long term. For the record, nobody claimed "things would've ended up great." They scored one run. That's a problem, long and short term. What suggestions do you have to fix that? That doesn't mean we can't discuss things that are ongoing managerial weaknesses

    AI tells me the winning percentage across MLB when scoring 1 run is 14.86%. Sounds high, but that's what it says. Maybe I got "A1" results.....

    Clearly the offense went missing. However.... Speaking only for myself, I tend to focus on things that I think were mistakes, and/or could have been avoided. There isn't much of anything I think could have been done differently last.night to knock in more runs...except, you know, to knock in more runs. I'm open to ideas there. But unlike "hit better, ferpetesakes," there were decisions made last night that I think could have/shocks have been done differently. Decisions can actually be altered. "Hit better" feels good but I don't know that it actually has any impact. So that's one possible reason some people focus on things that can change. YMMV.

    Great work, Thieres! Keep em coming. Brock: not my business, but might these get greater exposure on the front page?

    This is WAY overthinking things. Hitters sometimes get hit by a pitch. Rarely, but not never, they get injured by said pitch. Unfortunate, but part of the game. The delicate balance between hitters and pitchers is all that's in play here. Pitchers need to pitch inside. Hitters have to be able to cover the outside. Strides need to start before the pitch reaches the plate. Keaschall has been playing baseball since he was a kid. Has he been getting regular broken bones (as this article claims will happen "within a few weeks" of his return)? No. That's preposterous.

    Pitch count is so 2010. All the cool kids now worship at the alter of "3rd time through the order." Requires even less actual thought. And less thought is clear goal of spreadsheet management.

    "By way of atonement for this oversight," said the spokesman, "we immediately arranged for Cody Clemens to come into Falvey's field of vision. We expect the universe to be back in alignment within hours."
