  1. you got to miss Dick's crying, so really haven't missed much.
  2. So Nunez decided why bother going all out to 1B? In contrast, Mauer really hustled and almost beat it out.
  3. Clubhouse party coordinator? That's about as high as he should go.
  4. For years I've avoided going to Twins day games on Sundays because that always seems to bee the 'rest your better players it's time for backups to play'...day.
  5. Between those two things, I think the only way an owner could look more clueless is if he actively tried to be more clueless.
  6. Well, the horribly constructed roster is on Ryan, but Molitor makes a ton of boneheaded decisions time and time again. Our GM pool just a got a lot smaller when the owner won't let his new GM fire Molitor (unless he says that Mollie is only guaranteed to be safe as manager for the 2017 season only).
  7. Couldn't agree more, but that answer was hilarious.
  8. Not 100% sure he's the best assistant GM the Cubs have.
  9. On today's Fangraphs chat with Dan S (The ZiPS guy) Q: Former OF Jordan Schaefer is trying to become a pitcher in the Dodgers' organization A: Already hits like one, so he's half there. Cracked me up!
  10. He needs to finish the season in the Twins rotation. Zero reason to do other-wise.
  11. Bolded parts are extremely true. If I could, I'd take this post out and get it all liquored up :-)
  12. Cherington or Rehman would both be good choices as well as Ng.
  13. Unfortunately, Escobar is neither good enough with the glove or the bat. With Polanco more of a 2B, that makes the decision about Nunez more difficult than it really should be.
  14. Even Buxton severely misjudged a ball yesterday which turned into a double instead of an out. And Mauer has been outstanding at 1B.
  15. Going into today, Mauer had more games played than any player on the team and more PAs than any other player on the team. He's played in all but five games. Dozier tied him today. Additionally, Mauer doesn't set the lineup, never has.
  16. Most scouts call him a bat first player and a competent fielder at 2B You consider him a great defensive 2B. What makes you think that?
  17. His slash line with RISP last year was extremely close to his career numbers with RISP (including the walk rate) 18 non-intentional walks with RISP in 161 PA.
  18. If you say so. I'd have to know how many PAs he's had with RISP and what he actually did, myself. Wanna read something fun...another fun fact. The career passive Mauer has, for his career, hit .330/.456/.470 with RISP. Now, excluding the 135 IBB (which he has no control over, though I suppose he still could swing), he's walked less than 13% of the time with RISP.
  19. Un-fun fact:Buxton's numbers with RISP this year: .075/.114/.100.
  20. extra innings or not, if the visitors are winning, the home team has to get another half inning or it's a suspended game, not an official game.
  21. I believe a game can't end at a half inning if the home team is down.
  22. lightning strike and play continues. used to be automatic game stoppage.
  23. typo. I typed double, it autocorrected :-)
