    A mass cloning of Tigers' pitcher Rodriguez would solve the slow speed-of-play issues some people dislike. On some occasions, he was delivering the next pitch seven seconds after receiving the ball from the catcher.

    I understand there is a way to know when the opera is finished.

    I was very pleasantly surprised that Buxton was not injured while crashing into the fence a few days ago. I felt that one from here.

    "This is off the wall so bare with me please. " Pass

    "Thanks Squirrel! Game threads are where all the cool people hang out!" Nobody told me

    Several have mentioned that Arraez should play first base, but is there evidence that he can play it adequately. His height can be a liability and his ability to dig out bad throws is, at least to me, an unknown. But, as a DH and PH he gets a PHD.

    When asked if these new creatures will increase or decrease the Twins' chances, Falvine responded, "they're adders."

    It looks like some of these games start real early.

    Earlier today, after reading some comments by Hershel Walker, I revisited The Trade. By comparison, the Twins-Yankees trade was better for Minnesota.

    Max Kepler was asked who the Twins got for Garver and what he thought of the trade. Max said," Einer Kerfuffle."

    "Lucy," said the Peanuts section.

    You can save $ by paying Kirilloff less.

    I am so pleased that BB and the Twins reached agreement, though I was worried about it occurring. He brings excitement to the game and should help the Twins both in the field and in the attendance figures.

    I understand that fielding percentages are not the best way to measure fielding ability, but a few weeks ago I looked at the numbers for some Twins' first basemen (suspect the numbers haven't changed materially). Killebrew .992 Reese .992 (this was disappointing to RichReese) Hrbek .994 Mientkiewicz .996 Morneau .996 Mauer .996 Sano .984

    "Conversely, Sano's offense would have a higher WAR value if he stood 90 ft to his right on defense." There were some games when it would have been better defensively for Sano to be 30-40 feet to the left.

    I thought Rortvedt caught a good game.

    I always got Ted Lepcio

    The Twins' affiliates scored 38 runs in 5 games, and were outscored by 18 runs. Wow.

    Steve Bland's apologetic response: "no, comet."

    The Twins are hitting .180/.265/.295 in situations that FanGraphs deems as “high leverage.” That’s good for a .660 OPS, .560
  21. Scott51104
    Wallner has pretty good stats so far (.283 avg; 858 OPS) despite having 24 SOs in 46 ABs. His BA when putting the ball in play is .591 - haven't figured the OPS but it would be impressive. Somewhat similar situation for Sabato (21 SOs in 41 ABs) though the numbers are lower than for Wallner.

    In addition to the informative write-ups each day for the minor league teams, I appreciate the easy access to the box scores. TY

    This happened once this season, and the Twins even snuck in a two-headed coin. Umpire: Call it in the air, Rocco. Rocco: Tails

    I have been reading a lot of Halberstam lately. His "Summer of 49" about the Yankees and Red Sox is also very good, both for the baseball content and the society issues of the era.
  25. Scott51104
    "The Teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship by David Halberstam. About the enduring friendship between four Red Sox greats, Williams, Pesky, Dom DiMaggio and some other guy." Recently read this book - Bobby Doerr was the some other guy. Halberstam included their lifetime stats at the end of the book. If I recall correctly, each of the four had more walks than strikeouts for their careers.
