after being brought up to help the pen, he may start this weekend. One may wonder why he was brought up so early if that's the case, but someone must know that.
I never had to worry about that. I had one out of the park HR in my life. I was a singles/doubles guy. Did carry an OBP over .500 for my high school baseball career, though (even higher in softball leagues).
yeah, I remember that. Actually played in leagues where there was a HR limit for teams. If a team exceeded that amount, every HR after that was an out.
why? And do you think they preferred to face Sano or was there a possible strategy behind that thinking? With no outs or two out, maybe they don't do that. It's a pick your poison situation really, because Mauer has been hitting well all year.
