    OK boys, let's make this one of those innings like we saw the other side of over the weekend.
  2. spinowner
    Yes. It ended.

    Well, humans didn't evolve from monkeys. Humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor. Sorry to be accurate and all that.

    The most correct plural of octopus is octopodes.

    That ball was traveling very fast.

    What is a thump up?
  7. spinowner
    Fitting that Buck breaks up the perfecto.
  8. spinowner
    I understand.

    I'm not sure it's not. Is Vargas, Park or Kepler actually better, right now?

    I thought you said you were going to focus on one at-bat, not over 6,000.

    I agree strike 3 yesterday was too close to take. Mauer was right that it was almost certainly out of the zone but until umpires improve their strike-calling capability to the level of computerized systems you have to swing at that pitch. But there is no way should Mauer be taken out of the lineup. He's still certainly one of the nine best players in our system. If you are going to focus everything on just one at-bat you could just as well focus on the at-bat in Friday's ninth inning. Just as valid (or invalid).

    I'll say that my opinion differs from yours and we should probably agree to disagree. My opinion is that one, Mauer is still a good major league player and, two, I think the front office has the latitude to pay whatever salary to whatever player (including free agents) that they deem necessary and appropriate. I don't think they have a self-imposed salary cap.

    40 years ago I'd never have thought that the Ramones would be in regular rotation at sports venues. But it's good that they are. Hey! Ho! Let's go!

    I look away for two minutes and...what?????

    Great photo!

    I watch that clip every month or two and it still makes me smile.

    I can pull my own finger just fine, thanks.

    From statistics to the rules of play, there's way more math in baseball than most other sports. Which is good.

    He's painting the side of the zone. The strike zone is a seven-sided prism. There are 15 edges and 10 corners.

    I'm glad that this discussion had only minimal mention of $23M, but it should have received no mention because it's irrelevant.

    Since we're doing math here, I'll point out that the 4 bases do not quite form a perfect 90-foot square. Home plate is located in fair territory inside the first base line and the third base line, with the point marking the corner of a 90-foot square. First base and third base are positioned such that the corner of the base toward the outfield along each foul line is 90 feet from the corner of home plate. Second base, however, is positioned with the center of the base located at the corner of the square. So home plate, first base and third base are positioned entirely inside the 90-foot square, but only the quarter of second base closest to home plate is within the square. Why should second base be different? Only the writer(s) of the rule knew, and he/she/they are no longer with us to answer.

    I won't be at the game or the game thread today so I'll post now--here's hoping our favorite team's run of mostly competence can continue!
  24. spinowner
    Pop-up to center field...ten feet in front of the warning track. If a Twin hit that Dick would have said it was a drive to deep center.

    Just got access to the TV. So the Twins are wearing Red jerseys and the Red Sox are wearing navy. Makes sense. NOT.
