    Giminez batting 5th? Let me get this straight: We're fighting for our playoff lives and we're pitching Tim Melville and Dillon Gee....and Chris Gimenez is batting 5th? I don't care if the pitches with his left leg....Chris Gimenez might be he worst hitter in the AL right now.

    Buxton has a 1.2 OPS over his recent 10 game hit streak. Wow.

    Yep, i didn't think Cuddyer should be in. Do we just start putting everyone in who played here for more than a couple of years? He basically played for the Twins for a decade. He topped 20 HR and 100 RBI exactly one time with the Twins. He exceeded 150 games one time. His average never exceeded .285, and he topped .280 only twice. He grounded into a significant number of DPs. Wasn't much of a baserunner or defender. Cute magic tricks and the "aw-shucks," attitude go a long way in this organization, apparently. He had 16 career WAR in 15 years (essentially a 1 WAR guy), and I'm guessing a solid chuck of that came in the national league. I didn't dig, but that tells me he may not have even been a 1 WAR average his time here. There are better Twins' not in. Kind of a joke, IMO. Rich Becker hit .291 with 12 HRs and 70 RBI in 1996. Looks a lot like Cuddyer's typical Twins season. Is he in next?

    ...and then Minnesota happens: Sano to the DL. But, hey, it was a fun year.
  5. Darius
    Awesome win. Sweeping the D-Backs is a pretty righteous thing. But, a quick turnaround for a double header in Chicago with Melville and Gee starting, two of those games could be lost quickly. How fun is it right now watching winning baseball?

    "That is how this team has rolled." -Dick B. after Rosario's granny. Gotta love the grammatically correct hood-speak.

    Let's hope this is enough gravy for Big Sexy.

    Or one of the new numbers guys got fed up, snuck down into the clubhouse and altered Molitor's lineup card.
  9. Darius
    Chances that we get more than run baserunner in an inning against Greinke the rest of the night?
  10. Darius
    Is there a worse team in the MLB with runners on 3rd and less than 2 out? The numbers have to be out there somewhere.
  11. Darius
    That was a great game to watch. If Sano's mammoth bombs were indication of him hitting another power surge, this lineup is a nightmare for opposing pitchers.
  12. Darius
    Interesting stat: Tonight, Sano surpassed the number of total bases he had all of last year.
  13. Darius
    Really fun game to watch tonight. Nice win. Couldn't have gone anybody better elsewhere, either. KC, Angels, and Yankees all lost. Twins back holding the second Wild Card spot.
  14. Darius
    That last Sano at bat almost made me cry it was so beautiful.
  15. Darius
    Even if it's a tie game in the bottom of the 7th and I crank one off the wall and have a shot for a in-the-parker, I'm stopping at first if I'm Buxton. I'd fist pump and jump around like I just won the World Series....then untuck my jersey, turn my hat backwards, and start a slow trot around the warning track for high-fives.
  16. Darius
    Glynn had to have thought he saw a bad throw, or anticipated them going to second, or something. No way he is expecting to win straight up on a good relay home.
  17. Darius
    Interesting baserunning play there. On the bright side, Roasario is turning into a hitting machine.
  18. Darius
    Can we sell again now?
  19. Darius
    I just want to stick a fork in this team. I'm tired of the whole, "we're within shouting distance so we have a chance" bit. Every time it starts to look like they may actually have a chance, and play a rap contender, they lay a big embarrassing egg, and get slammed back into obscurity with extreme prejudice. If they can salvage a series win, you never know. But, I just don't see that happening. They'll be lucky to not get swept off the earth by 5+ runs a game against the Indians. They're just in another galaxy.
  20. Darius
    That's what happens when have you have Buddy Boshers throwing high leverage innings in a playoff chase.
  21. Darius
    I feel like a 600 foot home run from Encarnacion is inevitable tonight.
  22. Darius
    Big hit there for Mr. Buxton. Good to see.
  23. Darius
    Great bounce back win. But, man, it would be really nice to have gotten that sweep. What a season it's been.
  24. Darius
    Verlander would be great. If they wanted to go the route of eating the salary, saving on the players shipped, that would be ideal. Not sure I see that happening. A decent bullpen rental may be had for cheap. That would probably be necessary if you're serious about the playoffs at this point.
  25. Darius
    I'd imagine you could find similar trends with any pitcher with bad numbers (90% of their innings are great, skewed by a handful of bad ones).
