  1. Ben McDonald, pitching to Ed Farmer.
  2. For anyone actually at the game: Encarnacion make it to first yet?
  3. The feel of this game just changed. Even in metric.
  4. Two nice throws, and Reyes makes the 3rd out at 3rd base. Lots of things breaking right for our Twins these days.
  5. Disappointing but hardly surprising.
  6. I would agree with all of this, except I'll be surprised if Staufer is DFA'd any time soon. Be glad to be surprised, though, if it happens.
  7. In my estimation, the problem is he's never, ever wrong. About anything.
  8. Concur. Fire Gardy again.
  9. Whatever keeps Santana at short, and Escobar out of LF is OK by me.
  10. For the record, Imentioned moving him once, in a game thread.
  11. Ricky Nolaso leads Twins starters in K/9. If you like FIP, he leads Twins starters in that too. Just ignore the WHIP column though.
  12. Matt Holiday has played 42 games for St Louis this year. He has reached base safely in all of them.
  13. I think the idea that greater range leads to more charged errors is a myth, particularly for infielders. It's gotten pretty hard to be charged with an error these days. Nobody is getting charged with an E at the edge of their range. If anything, it's just the opposite...an infielder takes two steps right or left, boots a rather easy play, and 'hit' flashes on the scoreboard. "Not a routine play" says the official scorer. An infielder who ranges far for a ball and doesn't come up with it, or cant make the throw, won't be charged with an E. On the other hand, if he gets to a ball and makes a wild throw, well, he deserves an error, his throw cost his team a base. Errors are a pretty decent way to make one determination about a player's defense. Not the only way, but a good one. Heck, people freak out because they perceive Hunter to have not gotten to a ball or two that they Think someone else might have. Marcus Semien has booted 17 balls at SS for Oakland this year. Which has damaged his team's defense more?
  14. That's actually not even close to true. AA infields are, by and large, pretty darn good. We're not talking sandlot ball here.
  15. Oh don't be so hard on yourself. It was shamefully written in terms of spacing and punctuation for just about anybody.
  16. Perk got 3 outs left in him, after that grueling outing yesterday?
  17. I wonder if it can make Hunter 29 again, too?
  18. Whew. Did not like that matchup, at all.
