  1. Including my Mom and Step-Dad, who are moving from Eden Prairie to Tucson at the end of the month. Something about the weather . . . .
  2. I don't know about the space time continuum. But, if the Twins really are a good to very good team -- baby what a big surprise!
  3. I'm betting Seattle gets 4 runs tonight. Question is, will the final score be 25- or 6-to-4?
  4. Remember when everyone wanted us to sign Cody Allen? Now, he not only isn't the Angels' closer, or even in a high leverage position, but he can't put away Ehire (who is, to be fair, playing like his job depends on it).
  5. Please let us know when you guys finally meet up!
  6. Assuming he keeps hitting like he is now, he would score a lot of runs. Any hit or walk is like giving him a double (and he has been getting his fair share of actual doubles). Plus Polanco hitting behind him will likely ensure that he gets more good pitches to hit. And having Buxton on second will give Polanco and Cruz more RBI opportunities. Seems like it would be the best of all possible worlds . . . assuming Buxton keeps hitting like he has so far this year. What's the down side? Seems like the up side is hard to resist at this point.
  7. Is it possible that Buxton isn't just ready to hit leadoff, but that he's our best option hitting leadoff? I think so. I hope so. Please let it be so.
  8. I don't mind bringing Rogers into a 1-run game, or a tie game for that matter. If they'd done that against Detroit they might have come out of that series with another win or two. Rogers did his job, and the Twins offense did not do theirs. Down one at home, guy on second and no outs. You have to score there. I'm happy with our record and optimistic about this team. But it seems like we're losing games we should win due to some questionable managerial decisions and failing at basics. I just hope the players and manager are learning from it.
  9. Byron Buxton accounts for some of this difference.
  10. GIDPs kept this close. Angels also got several hits (one bunt) around the shifts.
  11. Note to Rocco: Rogers pitches well in tight games — even when we aren’t ahead.
  12. Obviously, he was carrying the team at that point.
  13. Buxton was tagging. Would have probably tried to score from second. . . and probably would have scored.
