  1. Astudillo popped up to the infield. Weird. You rarely see that.
  2. I think the message--if he doesn't walk, does it matter if it's can't or won't?--really comes shining through in the crucial segments.
  3. The eternal "can't? Or won't?" question is what really gives the film it's tension and drama, IMO.
  4. I know Baldelli makes BP voluntary...leaving aside whether that's a good idea...do the Twins regularly take infield? The defense should be pretty good, but they seem to treat the baseball like a hand grenade way too often.
  5. Outside of a few freaks, nobody's staters go more than 6 any more. The average MLB start isn't even 6. Which everybody knew going into this season, last season, the season before.... That's what management PLANNED for. You get no pass for planning on your pen covering nearly half the season's innings and then being shocked---SHOCKED I TELL YOU---when there's "a lot of pressure" on your pen. And zero slack for finding the pen wanting.
  6. Can someone ask Justin when MLB made it illegal to take BP before day games?
  7. I've been on about this for two years now, but Baldelli really needs to get over the idea that his best players need a game off every week. It's unnecessary, and unproductive. It's baseball, for Pete's sake. All it does is intentionally take his best players out of games, which is then of course compounded when the inevitable actual injuries occur. Because players still get injured, whether they play 5 games a week instead of 6, or not. And I suspect it probably leads to a bit of a "soft" team, without much intestinal fortitude, which I admit is speculation on my part.
  8. I don't get the idea that because pitchers threw FEWER innings last season, they're somehow now expected to throw fewer innings THIS year. That seems...bass ackwards to me.
  9. Berrios finds it hard to throw with both hands around his neck.
  10. Hey batterbatterbatter suhWING batterbatterbatter
  11. Who got pushed off the 40 man? No wonder Astudillo was at 1st base for today's 1st game. Who's had a good run through. Long career.
  12. Crumb it all. Everything has gone to crumb. I'm crumbing tired of this crumbing crumb.
  13. And I still don't understand how Jeffers, and Sano, get ABs in the 7th but not Buxton.
