  1. I don't know. It's certainly a Plausible and interesting theory.
  2. Monday's STrib headline: "Twins President St Peter asks Gov Walz to adjust max Target Field seating...to 5000."
  3. I'm obviously surprised and disappointed at the offensive ineptitude. I'm very disappointed in the defense, although Donaldson, Buxton and Simmons missing time hasn't helped. Moreso, though, the defense has been awful most every day, physically and mentally. But the bullpen has performed just about as I had expected. Not deep, not powerful, not dependable. Spare parts, reclamation projects, "slider specialists" That, IMO, was always going to be a problem.
  4. Fun with numbers: coming into today's game, Kirilloff's BA and OBP were exactly the same.
  5. Remember when the Twins 5-2 and had a 6-0 lead in the next game? Me neither.
  6. holy cow! They're STILL on that island? Are they all still alive? Must be pushing 50 years they've been there!
  7. It's possible. OBP = (H + BB + HBP)/(AB + BB + HBP + Sac Flies) Sac bunts are removed from both sides of the equation. Practical result of zero walks, but at least one sac fly...OBP lower than BA.
  8. Fun with numbers: coming into today's game, Astudillo's batting average was .293. His OBP... .286. True story.
  9. Gonna have to assess an error on the 2nd one.
  10. Some wise and hilarious gentlemen poster usually follows a win by posting "winnah." That evolved to "winner winner chicken dinner." That evolved into posting pics of delicious chicken dishes. Im not sure the origin of the actual phrase "winner winner chicken dinner" I've always assumed it has it's origins in Vegas, where it used to be that a small win would be enough to buy your dinner. But I don't know. Too much information?
  11. 92, center cut. Zero movement. Tough pitch.
  12. Big league umps don't often miss calls that easy.
  13. So here in Tucson, the weather is already pretty nice. In fact, the community pool in my housing development opened up this weekend. I figured I'd go over for a quick swim this morning before the ball game. Place was predictably packed. Kids and moms everywhere. Well, wouldn't you know it, I no sooner got there than I had to...go. Number 1. I went to the deep end, way away from the kiddies...and I went. I know, I know, should have went to the restroom. But let's be honest, who hasn't done the same? Well I had just started when the lifeguard is blowing her whistle at me, and I mean LOUD. Ladies yelling and shouting. It really startled me! Scared me so bad I almost fell in.
  14. Doubtful... Ain't been a lot of chicken served around these parts in the past couple weeks.
  15. And NOBODY played even 130 games last year!!
