    What the hell was Polanco bunting for in that situation?
  2. Don Walcott
    I WANT BOMBAS!! AND I WANT THEM NOW!!!
  3. Don Walcott
    We need some better launch angle.
  4. Don Walcott
    I thought we were done playing the Mariners.
  5. Don Walcott
    Is it just me? Or does anyone else get Camptown Races in their head when Lucas Duda comes to bat?
  6. Don Walcott
    I like Nick in the booth. He’s gritty.
  7. Don Walcott
    I think Rosie is due as well.
  8. Don Walcott
    Thank you. And it was remarkable how the bombas went out exactly how you predicted—but opposite.
  9. Don Walcott
    Yeah. Whatever. Tell us who’s hitting home runs tonight and how. Please.
  10. Don Walcott
    It's hard not to be frustrated when you have a rash.
  11. Don Walcott
    Man on third and nobody out, here's where we excel!!
  12. Don Walcott
    That's a situation where I'd have liked to have seen Rogers come in. Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but the Twins bullpen isn't doing so great lately.
  13. Don Walcott
    Good job by Big Mike, he just ran out of gas.
  14. Don Walcott
    Interesting exchange there, Michael.
  15. Don Walcott
    Obviously, you got confused.
  16. Don Walcott
    And there's another.
  17. Don Walcott
    There's one time where a strikeout is worse than other outs.
  18. Don Walcott
    Maybe he's a terrible fielder?
  19. Don Walcott
    Smart play there, Ehire!
  20. Don Walcott
    TMI

    33 HRs in 100 games? Yes. Averaging 37 per 162 in the equivalent of his first 2.5 full seasons in the majors? Possibly debatable, but I'd say that's elite.
  22. Don Walcott
    Sort of. Having Buxton lead off against lefties would leave Polanco in the #2 spot, where he's started 51 times out 61 games. While Garver has mostly lead off against lefties, he's also batted in every other spot in the order so far. So it's not like we'd be displacing anyone. And although Garver has a .513 OBP against lefties generally, his OBP is .316 when he leads off. Basically, I'd like to see Buxton get more ABs. And hitting him leadoff against lefties and swapping him and Kepler in the 1 and 9 positions would be a very easy and justifiable way of doing that. He's also a scoring machine when he gets on base, which would add something to the leadoff spot that Garver doesn't have.
  23. Don Walcott
    His 162-game average for his career is 37 HR. This season, if he plays 100 games, he's on pace to get 33 HR.
  24. Don Walcott
    I'm totally with you on Rosario -- and I always was.
  25. Don Walcott
    I think Buxton should lead off against lefties, and Max should lead off against righties. They can swap the #9 spot when they're both in the lineup. Buxton has a .400 OBP vs. lefties. Kepler has a .351 OBP vs. righties.
