    Exactly. A .180 hitter standing there admiring his hit. Disgusting. Maybe batting .280, I would still be disgusted, but a bit more tolerant with that average.

    18.0 ERA .

    It does seem categorically unfair three potentially first place teams get beaten down by the Twins over ten days.

    Is the metaphor here, two front office guys are playing 5 card stud, one believes Santana is is the answer as the card he draws is a third ten giving him a full house, the other guy chose Buxton to play center field and knows Buxton was ineffective as a DH, and is a sad gamble that he will play a long healthy centerfield, but is optimistic so he expects the card he needs to draw to win the card hand is 9 for an inside straight, and so he slides the card towards himself hoping as he turns it over…..

    I just hope we don’t trade promising talent because we dream of a Buxton 120-130 game season. We all would like to see that. Think of the damage to the opponent if a healthy and full Buxton season unfolded. Sadly, we shouldn’t hold our breath that it will ever happen.

    Sounds like Bremer may have been pushed out? Why? He was good. His love for the Twins was evident.
  7. LeatherAntenna
    I thought exactly the same. Total class act and a love for the game. Perhaps the injuries have helped nurtured that perspective.

    Was interesting that A-Rod was complementary of Lewis except when he said just after the second HR the Twins must be getting tipped off. If true where were the rest of the HRs by all the others?

    The way he laid off those first three pitches in the 2nd AB was masterful. Did not look like a 24 year old but instead a wily veteran.

    My worst was 1987 trading Brunansky for Tommy Herr. Bruno played a big part in the twins dispatching Detroit in the Alcs in 5 games hitting 412 with 2HRs and 9 RBIs in the series though his bat went quiet in the World Series. Traded a month after the Twins win the World Series, they receive winner cry baby Tommy Herr who between his bitching on having to play for Minnesota was pretty useless on the field the next year. Bruno went on to be productive with his power for six more years.

    And his blown saves are very efficient, usually just a handful of pitches.
  12. LeatherAntenna
    800,000? Is that per run?
  13. LeatherAntenna
    A playoff game? Are we that confident now? I’m hoping but not at all certain in my mind.
  14. LeatherAntenna
    Is there an advanced stat where by it is measured in how few of pitches a pitcher during the same half inning gives up 2+ runs? I’m relatively certain he’d excel under this metric, if it is kept. Seems with him, just a handful of pitches and the next pitch leaves the yard. Other relievers who blow up a game, it’s drip, drip, but Pagan, it’s why waste the time throwing any extra pitches?
  15. LeatherAntenna
    If just would have postponed Pagán from blowing up the game until the 8th.

    There was that story on this site by Taylor earlier in June about his 5 worst blown saves. You could add last nite thought not a blown save, but just change the story title from ‘blown saves’ to games he ‘blew up’ , usually with just a handful of pitches. He is very efficient in that regard.
  17. LeatherAntenna
    Add number six, June 26, blew up in Atlanta.

    I get it, you are an optimist or writing a hopeful article. I like to think at times I am optimistic, but also a pragmatist, and the harsh or not harsh reality is that this team is just a .500 club, an absolute joy at times to watch, other times a teeth gnashing affair to watch.

    Now I suppose we can have a tomorrow article title predicting a 3 win 1 loss series, and then after tomorrow we can have another article predicting a series split?
  20. LeatherAntenna
    This vaunted offense is truly to be admired!
  21. LeatherAntenna
    Plus 100.

    Let me see if I understand this. He will work in low leverage situations until you trust him in high leverage situations. Then you put him in high leverage situations and he blows them. Put him in high right away. Why not find that out he will melt down early in the season when games and the standings are a little less important?

    Warm weather and the virus- what I’ve read is that some viruses don’t seem to be hurt by warm weather, and they don’t know about this one yet. But it is generally believed that all viruses swell in warmer air which can then hamper transmission to a host.

    If Buxton gets injured again this year as much as we love the guy why extend him? He is at this time a frustrating figment of baseball imagination and continuous injury eventually tells us MLB baseball much longer may not be in the cards for him.
