    That is what is called poor pitch recognition.

    Great AB!

    DJ Reyburn behind the plate seems to think everyone has Eddie Gaedel knees.

    Who's this guy in the booth with Bremer? He doesn't seem familiar.
  5. spinowner
    Duffey was gassed from previous game(s).

    This is a valid point, however with the runner on third breaking for home as the pitcher starts his delivery the infielders have very little time to work with. It's essentially impossible to cut the runner down unless the bunt is very hard.

    I realize this was written (partly) in jest, but there's a lot of truth here. There was a survey of cost of residential real estate in US cities sometime during the last couple years that had Orono, MN ranked as one of the 10 highest in the country. I think the other 9 were in California. I believe this survey had some sort of methodology that considered the cost relative to the size of the lot and the square footage of the house. The fact that Orono has a lot of Lake Minnetonka shoreline is what boosted it to that position.

    They need two pitchers and they need them now. Haley can go on the semi-legitimate DL and they felt Vargas was the least necessary position player at the moment. I think Vargas will be back as soon as they can afford to back down to 12 pitchers.

    Runners on second and third in the 14th, one out, Castro batting with less than two strikes. I'm nowhere near as experienced or knowledgeable as any major or minor league manager, but I think the suicide squeeze is an underutilized play. I'm not advocating using it all the time but I think that was a situation that called for it. If it fails the trail runner still advances to third and you still have another out to work with.

    I assume you are referencing Sano. The manager's job is to win as many games as possible during the course of the season. You have to pace your players, and Sano clearly needed a break. In other words, he is not their best player right now. Mauer is.

    Say hey!!
  12. spinowner
    Whom do you suggest?

    It took Justin Morneau 4 years to recover from his 2010 concussion. It's now been close to 4 years for Mauer. Can we finally be seeing the recovery?
  14. spinowner
    Great play by Rosario. Molitor-worthy.
  15. spinowner
    Yes. It's not the look I would go for but...
  16. spinowner
    Because it's not going to be a big upgrade to do it. Pinch hitting Sano for, say, Castro in, say, the 8th inning? Of course.
  17. spinowner
    Concur.
  18. spinowner
    This is standard for Mauer. Infield to the right, outfield to the left.
  19. spinowner
    Too bad it wasn't a called double steal. If Rosario had broken home with the throw he'd have scored.
  20. spinowner
    Concur.
  21. spinowner
    Mauer extending his hitting streak vs Rays!
  22. spinowner
    Never make an out at third base.
  23. spinowner
    I agree but I don't like to click like on things I don't like.
  24. spinowner
    Thanks for the last couple intros, MM. Always enjoy inside stories.

    Torii Hunter was always very conscientious about his diet, which may have been a factor in his being able to play until he was 40. Kent Hrbek? No so much.
