Scrappy Crappy would be an awesome nickname.

Sounds more like Nick Punto than KC

Dick asserting that after 4000+ AB's, he's a "known quantity". If the concussions to Koskie and Morneau taught us anything, it's that a player may potentially not be a known quantity again for a year or more.

 

Kudos to Morris or a producer for finally digging up the fact that Mauer has gone years at a time without swinging at 3-0.

I thought it was a sign for how to dress for 10cc.

 

I'm Not In Love with that post.

I gotta go yell at some kids... Keep hanging zeros KC... WHIP be damned!!!

That's just a silly phase you're going through, right?

Man, even when he's not pitching, do Jack and Dick give Correia crap about how poorly he's pitching, in a thus far shut out game, no less.

 

im not saying they're wrong, just cruel

 

Six out of the eleven batters in the first two innings were started out with a ball. Not a killer, but a further indicator (aside from the hits) that he's not putting himself in a position to win.

Bautista's out for a change. No triple play this inning!

Brunansky must get credit for fixing Escobar, Plouffe, Santana.

 

But... He had to Break Joe to do it.

 

Everyone but the folks in the Twins accounting department Likes this.

(and i've always wondered if the runner doubled up in a double play is considered to be stranded for stat reasons, particularly to end an inning)

 

Runners not still alive when the inning is over don't count toward LOB.

OK, who had both Bautista and Encarnacion grounding out in the betting pool? Not me.

And KC tosses another easy, shutout inning.

A 1-2-3 inning????

And KC tosses another easy, shutout inning.

He's found his Air Supply.

Most recent was in New York on May 31?

You are absolutely correct, he's not pitching well. BABIP is low today for the Jays, they've been unlucky thus far.

 

Normally our Broadcasters in Twins a Territory are really big homers... Not today

I had no idea Corriea graduated from Cal Poly, I live about 5 mins from the campus and even worked there for a short time. Can't say it makes me like him any more unfortunately.

Morales .400! Great signing!!11!

In-game oxygen break?

Kendrys hustlin' down the line! Infield hit (even if Reyes threw it from the outfield).

You just can't coach the kind of speed Morales showed legging out that grounder to Reyes.

 

I credit Molitor anyway...

A 1-2-3 inning????

 

1-2-3-4. Fans the side, with 3rd out reaching on strike 3 pb.

Runners not still alive when the inning is over don't count toward LOB.

 

Thanks. That seems like the obvious way to do it. But it feels like a slight statistical reward for hitting into double plays to not be guilty of leaving a runner on... That's all that made it seem like it might go the other way, i guess. I'm sure some fancy advance stat could correct for it if anyone actually cared...

More discipline from Arcia!

Arcia swung at a 4th pitch walk, got the walk on the 5th pitch

Toronto announcers keep teasing some other Cal Poly grad much more famous than KC. Who is it?

He's found his Air Supply.

 

Making outs... out of nothing at all.

I really like Nunez on the bench, he plays passable fielding and continues to hit in sporadic at bats.

Really a nice swing by Nunez there. And Morales made it all the way from second to third!

And he's a fun guy...like Escobar. Did you see him ribbing Morales for not scoring on his single?

 

Good addition.

Nothing like Racist color commentary
