Definitely some wear on the Twins bullpen treads. They successfully went Zach Duke, Addison Reed and Fernando Rodney to close out the Reds today.

I don't think they ever had a lead in that series

pretty nice debut

I'm glad the bullpen and D held it for him -- they looked like they were trying to give it up late.

Sure doesn't look to be that far on replay (and the game report doesn't say anything to that effect).

Rhys Hoskins after half a season worth of games: .268/.409/.570, 22 hr and 16 doubles and 158 wrc+.
― Van Horn Street, Saturday, 5 May 2018 21:56 (five years ago) link
i would be interested in an exploration of rhys hoskins’ WAR while being compelled to play left field vs his WAR if he were allowed to play his natural 1B
i mean it’s not his fault his NL team went out and signed a designated hitter

(xpost) Came to post the same thing--15 K in 6.1 innings! Obviously couldn't have gone any farther--he'd thrown 111 pitches--but might've threatened 21 otherwise.

8 of the top 10 hitters by fWAR are in the AL. and one of the two NL players is nick markakis. (the other is aj pollock)

Some arguments for Molina to be a first ballot hall of famer on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, even comparisons to Ozzie Smith.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 7 May 2018 03:02 (five years ago) link
it's getting kind of weird, already. i understand locals doing it because he's a goddamn legend around here, but i don't get the national press/visiting announcers mentioning it all the time as well
― obviously DLC (Karl Malone), Monday, 7 May 2018 03:04 (five years ago) link
I’ll be clear here: I’m on the big hall side of things and more catchers could get in, it wouldn’t hurt and if Molina has his plaque I’ll be happy, he seems cool and it also means it will be deserved, I am just thinking they are setting a lof people with expectations there.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 7 May 2018 03:11 (five years ago) link
yeah, they're making it a self-fulfilling prophecy pretty much, because now every year he doesn't get in everyone will be like "but back in his playing days everyone said he was a first ballot hall of famer!"
― obviously DLC (Karl Malone), Monday, 7 May 2018 03:13 (five years ago) link
but i'll be happy to see him in the hall, too, if he makes it, even if his numbers don't exactly back it up. and i look forward him to coming back to busch stadium wearing really tacky bright red suit jackets with ozzie, gibson, and the rest of the guys for a long time.

He’ll be the Cardinals coach for 17 years, also.

JFC at the graphic showing that there was 7000 pitches at 98 mph+ in 2014 and that we are on pace to break 20 000 this season.

they call him The Compiler
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 00:32 (five years ago) link
both good players! but there's a pretty big gap in WAR, presumably because damon's lack of power played better in center than markakis' in right + baserunning
the latter is off to a hell of a start this year
