    Overall still a great win.
  2. glunn
    That could have been a double play.
  3. glunn
    I feel bad for De Jong. Not good for his confidence or career.
  4. glunn
    Rogers now warming up, then De Jong gets his first out.
  5. glunn
    His inning started badly and his confidence is now shot. Plus he has thrown a lot of pitches.
  6. glunn
    Uh-oh
  7. glunn
    Good time for De Jong to debut. He looks OK.
  8. glunn
    It looks on TV like almost no fans left. You are getting to see a lot of Twins offense.
  9. glunn
    I love insurance runs, but with one inning left I think we now have enough.
  10. glunn
    I have been at work. Glad to see the box score so far. Hoping for some insurance runs.

    This time from fivethirtyeight.com https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/willians-astudillo-is-a-baseball-enigma/ A few highlights: "He was such an outlier that Minnesota’s own projection system struggled to find comps when the Twins were scouring minor league free agents after the 2017 season." "Astudillo’s grandfather and father were obsessed with baseball. His father had played professionally in Venezuela. Astudillo remembers a drill in which his father would kneel a few feet away and flick corn kernels toward him in their backyard in the coastal city of Barcelona, Venezuela. Astudillo’s objective was to hit the knuckling projectiles with a broomstick. He thinks his rare contact ability is part nature and part nurture." "During their organizational meetings last spring, Twins officials went through the scouting reports on players in their camp. As they looked at Astudillo, they thought he could play second, third, left field and catcher — important versatility in a sport that increasingly requires roster flexibility. A Twins evaluator in the room then spoke up. “‘He can play center, too, just ask him,’” Falvey recalled. The club officials were amused. Center field didn’t seem like a natural fit for the stout player. But Astudillo showed them the proof: video of himself robbing a home run in a 2014 Venezuelan winter league playoff game."

    Tough loss.
  13. glunn
    Whew. We are still in this, and Astudillo is still available.
  14. glunn
    Rogers being overused?
  15. glunn
    That is a great play.
  16. glunn
    Great article, Seth. Which hitter do you believe has the highest ceiling?
  17. glunn
    No, we wait until the end of the season for that.
  18. glunn
    Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it.
  19. glunn
    Nice win and lots of reasons for hope going forward.
  20. glunn
    If they had walked Astudillo those two runs would not have scored.
  21. glunn
    If the Indians were smarter they would walk Astudillo.
  22. glunn
    Have you been reading the Indians' website?
  23. glunn
    Now let's load the bases for Astudillo.
  24. glunn
    Rosario swung at some very bad pitches there.
  25. glunn
    Now Rosario needs to get his first hit.
