    I'm not superstitious, but damn Dick, how hard do you have to jinx a guy... "You almost expect Escobar to get a hit..."

    Just got in. Waffles and chicken at the IHOP was kinda nasty. Labor Day treat!

    Didn't want to miss Sano's last at-bat. Otherwise I'm reading some internets.

    Good pitching by Colin McHugh. I hope Tyler Duffey was watching, he could be at least as good as that, with more experience.

    Achter has a good straight change up. He should throw it a lot more often. There was a closer here in San Diego named Trevor Hoffman who earned a living with a good straight change.

    I get the feeling that after this game we will be left grumbling that Mauer was safe, and not much else.

    I'm 56. Now the squirrels watch me, and eat my prunes when I'm not looking. In the distance I see vultures circling, or maybe that's just flies... I waved my hand and they're still there. Vultures.

    Does it seem like McHugh actually has stuff that good? I'm seeing a resemblance to Tyler Duffey's game. Good mix of curves with a well-placed but underwhelming heater.

    When was the last time anybody saw Torii Hunter even swing the bat hard, a month ago? Six weeks? He's swinging like he has no legs and his back is sore. Sit the old man down, put Buxton in there. At least Buxton might beat out a grounder.

    McHugh does have a big bender. I still think Tyler Duffey's is better, mostly because he uses it more and can do more things with it.

    I am not admiring the home plate umpire. He blew the call at home, and now he's giving Houston's pitcher a strike zone 3 inches outside to Dozier.
  12. jimbo92107
    Exactly. If Mauer comes in high like an NFL linebacker, Conger (or Mauer) maybe spends the next couple weeks in a hospital. The new rule is supposed to avoid the bone-breaking collisions. The umpires failed everybody on that call.

    Fast outfielders can make a mediocre pitcher look remarkably good.
  14. jimbo92107
    Slow break on that ball by Hicks. Bad play.
  15. jimbo92107
    if they are going to interpret the rule that way, then bring back the huge collisions, the Pete Rose one, the Bo Jackson one - the new rule protects nobody if you allow Conger to position himself as he did.
  16. jimbo92107
    Where Conger positioned himself, straddling the foul line, he made it inevitable that fielding the ball would involve blocking Mauer's path to the plate. Thus, I call baloney on that ruling.
  17. jimbo92107
    Kind of a sucky start. At least they're putting wood on the ball.
  18. jimbo92107
    Hey, I just got quoted by Jack Morris!
  19. jimbo92107
    Why have the rule if you're not going to enforce it?
  20. jimbo92107
    Isn't Colin McHugh one of those guys with a high-rpm curve ball?
  21. jimbo92107
    Aaron Hicks to lead off.
  22. jimbo92107
    Great write-up's Jeremy. Entertaining and informative. Twins have one of those "good" problems coming up. Hicks will allow them to give Buxton a rest, or Hunter a rest, or play whoever has the hot hand.

    Great analysis, Parker. It's fascinating how a hip turn of a few inches or a few degrees has such a drastic impact on a hitter's ability to cover more of the strike zone. The other thing I noticed was that along with the increased gather from his hip turn, it allowed Sano to come through farther with his right hip on the follow through, which allowed him to drive his hands farther forward and outward, increasing the carry of the barrel through the zone. That extra carry will translate into more consistent contact and more opposite field power, as well as the ability to pull outside pitches. These small but important changes suggest a combination of coaching and Sano's great confidence in his own abilities. With his cool discipline at the plate and his awesome power, Miguel Sano already must be one of the most intimidating hitters in the league. And he's getting better. Yikes.

    I can hardly wait to throw some shapeless, nameless slab of meat on the grill for tonight's game. Extra E is bringing Big Bend tonight. Can he actually make the ball curve all the way back to his glove? That's what I heard..!

    There's actually a word for that: pterodactyl. Some of them have wings, too!
