  1. Varland is a pretty nice lil number five
  2. C'mon Louie buzz one off the rubber band
  3. The quality of at bats this game has made for more enjoyable viewing
  4. Nice Jeffers, damn the seal is broken
  5. Louie V at 44 pitches after 4, that's got a nice ring to it
  6. 82-24 pitch counts for Brown and Varland. Love it, Louie V has already proved he knows what to do with a lead
  7. Louie's just getting Joe Ryan's run support that got misplaced at the distribution center.
  8. Brown on the ropes baby!! AK is the man
  9. That'll get you in the right frame of mind for a hellacious battle
  10. Find something else to read on TD, of course.
  11. Couple of things are hard to let go of looking at that lineup. I know it's true Wallner all of a sudden has more backers after 2 good games (and slama jama in St Paul), but SSS aside, I like riding the hot hand, hard. I would not have sent that bat down at that point, but I also haven't offered a proposed different course of action, lol. Gah! Well here's hoping local lad Louie goes after them boys and gets it done!
  12. Looks like a mismatch. I wonder how much this site takes into account the lineup presented. Varland does have quite the advantage in bases on balls, woohoo!
  13. After scanning the medical paper @Eris linked, it says 5% of all surgeries for injured baseball players are knee surgeries. That is all knee surgeries not just the ACL. It does state that knee injuries are more common for outfielders, but I couldn't find any stats on that. The paper categorized knee injuries as relatively rare in baseball it being a non-contact sport. After mulling this over, it doesn't seem to matter whether Lewis plays infield or outfield. I do think if he is more comfortable in the infield, then I would leave him there for now as he makes his way back post surgery. As suggested above, later this year he should start getting practice reps in the outfield for future positional flexibility. Then later this year as things play out with Buxton, Celestino, MAT and Martin, you chart your coarse forward. Any athlete in any sport has to learn how to protect themselves during play. Some are better than others. Lewis still can get there and be healthy going forward. The big question is, is it too late for Buxton? Has he already done too much damage earlier in his career?
  14. It's enjoyable watching these young guys, Julien, AK, Lewis, Wallner. The rest? Get it together, man
  15. AK is so freaking locked in. We are witnessing the vaunted hit tool.
  16. Kirilloff and Lewis need to be cloned ASAP
  17. That's the spirit, lol. They better get started
