Jose Berrios - Berrios is making his Major League debut tonight! I have been rooting for him ever since he got drafted, and that was a pretty emotional night for him:
Berrios was a shortstop until his senior year of high school, when he broke out as a the top pitcher in Puerto Rico. Trevor Rosenthal and Jacob DeGrom are two all-star pitchers who were shortstops in high school. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/picking-berrios-top-prospect-debuts-for-twins-tonight/ Walk-off winners - The Twins have picked up a win in the bottom of the ninth the last two games, and Jepsen has been the pitcher who has benefited with the wins, which he did not deserve. Extrapolation - In mathematics, extrapolation is the process of estimating, beyond the original observation range, the value of a variable on the basis of its relationship with another variable. If the Twins keep up at they are going they will end the season with 108 losses, but don't worry, that is too large of an estimate compared to the amount of data we have. Do not be surprised to see a stretch of games where we go 30-20, before playing at .500 ball the rest of the year. I am predicting a season record of 82-80. State Functions - The value of a state function is independent of the history of the system. That is what death and winning the World Series have in common, so if someone ever asks you what they have in common, use this as a comeback. Sinking Ships - Last night we learned that a certain moderator survived multiple sinking ships, and also was on some ships that did not sink. Question: Did he survive the SS Edmund Fitzgerald? Will he survive the season? Will he survive this website?
From homers and injuries To hard throwing righties And things that go thump in the ninth Good Lord, deliver us
