    My bad, was on the road yesterday. Should have guessed with Walner being activated.

    Anybody else want Kiersey to run for Clemens...

    Maybe Zebby and Wallner will run into each other at the airport tomorrow....

    Bader not starting, again... The day off must not have helped his hand/finger, that's 5 days of no games, 1/2 of an IL stint already.
  6. mnfireman
    And Raya just served up a 2-run HR...
  7. mnfireman
    Neither Wallner nor McCrusher are in tonight's Saints line-up, but are "available" bench options...
  8. mnfireman
    Is those one of those articles where the author is attempting humor, because it's as funny, if not funnier, as any of those attempts....

    I think we will see Wallner, and Buxton, in Seattle this weekend. Coupled with Gonzalez's apparent promotion to AAA, I fear Bader may be headed to the IL with a finger injury, let's hope one more day of rest is enough. https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/twins-injuries-and-roster-moves. SWR looking good, maybe he reset himself with a little success in AAA. I think Matthews needs a good start on Friday to remain with the big club.

    And other ballparks....Detroit and Cleveland both win, KC ahead and batting bottom 8.
  11. mnfireman
    While T-Mobile may favor pitchers, Seattle only has one LHP on the roster, Speier. This should work in Wallner's favor and, theoretically, sets up to be a successful return.
  12. mnfireman
    Agreed. Lewis started this season 0-16, then 9-25, and is currently in a 0-20; great players aren't this streaky
  13. mnfireman
    I think Bride stays on the roster until Keaschall returns, unless one of Miranda/Julien/Martin and even Gasper makes it too hard to keep them in AAA. Maybe Lewis gets a "mystery injury" and gets a 10 day IL "reset" to accommodate this also... Wallner/Buxton > McCusker/Kiersey Jr., so I don't think there is a question there. McCusker could still turn into a feel-good story...

    Heads up play by Correa and Lewis...
  15. mnfireman
    Well, @Peterdoesn't like close games, this one's on him...
  16. mnfireman
    He's doing alright for being CB Bucknor, looking at Baseball Savant Illustrator, I only see one blatantly missed call, the called ball on Jeffers to start the game...

    I read on MLB,com that he (Buxton) flew with the team to Florida, I'm guessing he's cleared protocols and his getting his work in

    Whatever it takes....

    To paraphrase Who's line is it anyway? - "The stats are made up and results don't matter..." Todays game is all about metrics: spin rate, arm angle, release point, xERA, FIP, xFIP, exit velocity, launch angle, etc... not results because the results are tainted if they don't align with the expected results. A lot of current players keep getting chances because they meet or exceed certain metric standards but don't produce (the potential is there, it just has to be unlocked...) while many past All-Stars and HOFers wouldn't have been given chances because they didn't meet or exceed those same standards. Not every pitcher is a big strikeout guy and not every batter is a power hitter.

    If you look at FanGraphs chances of making the play-offs; DET 91.5%, MIN 69.8%, KC 47.5%, CLE 45.7%. Outside of the AL Central; NYY 96.9%, SEA 74.4%, HOU 62.8%. BOS, TB, TOR & TEX are all around 25% AL Central remaining SOS; KC .497, CLE .496, MIN .495 and DET .492, essentially a wash. With Buxton and Wallner due back shortly and Keaschall due back by July 1, I like the teams chances to make the postseason, where anything can happen
  22. mnfireman
    Not missing those today, the only middle pitch on the edge of the zone he's not called a strike was the ball he called on the outside edge when Jeffers was hitting in the first. He's not giving either team the upper or lower edges of the zone.
  23. mnfireman
    Well there's this; #4 hitter vs LHP - .368 OPS #5 hitter vs LHP - ,776 OPS
  24. mnfireman
    3 & GWRBI (but according to some SABR nerds RBI is a useless stat...)
  25. mnfireman
    Roger Clemens gave up 16 HR to the Twins, I'd be very happy if the team gets 16 out of Kody...
