Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 8/17 @ 6:05pm CT

According to a little study at baseball-reference.com, it's only the 2nd 0-2 HR off of Twin's pitching all season.  The other was Victor Martinez off of Hughes.

 

Study here

Feels like there were more.....maybe its all the hits on a 0-2 count.

Or taking a deep breath while wondering about the city.

I wonder what they wondering about? I often wonder about New York, who doesn't though.

Gibson being a consistently good pitcher the beginning of the season was one of the things I was most excited about for the long term good of the team.  Needless to say, I have not been as excited about his play as of late.

I wonder if curlers get dead arms (or in whatever way wear out) late in the curling season?

I never wonder about N.Y......so rarely get sick

Tendinitis of the elbow is common in curlers, with the beer drinking and all.

Suzuki thought that McCann thought he wouldn't get a fastball 0-2. But McCann thought that Suzuki thought that that he thought he wouldn't get a fastball so decided to look for a fastball.

Should have gotten involved in a land war in Asia...

[twinsnorth49]

HOLY CRAP!!! That is freaking scary.

[twinsnorth49]

Jeez, I hope that poor bugger is alright, worst fear for any pitcher.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I hope he's okay...

 

Golly. Now i feel bad for my casual comments about bouncing hits off fielders and/or their gloves...

Is there a site to check that at?

[twinsnorth49]

Try Labatts or possibly Molsons.

Glad I am listening to the radio. Reminds me of Neshak at the Metrodome, by the sound of it. They had to shovel the mound where the blood flowed and I was right behind home plate. He was pitching for the Gophers.

How about Leinies???

[twinsnorth49]

Nunez taking the old" knocking the pitcher out of he game" cliche a little to literally.

[DiscGolfer]

Hate to see a guy take one off the face like that, hope he's alright, but there's still a game to be played and now it's an opportunity to get to the yanks bullpen.

Feels like there were more.....maybe its all the hits on a 0-2 count.

 

Let's see.....all RBI on an 0-2 count: there have been 18 times where an RBI has happened on an 0-2 count.  This resulted in 22 runs total.

 

2 Home Runs

9 singles

4 doubles

2 sac fly

1 HBP

 

Those 22 runs would rank the Twins tied for 13th.  Washington would be 1st, giving up 15 runs on 0-2, while Detroit is dead last giving up 35 runs on 0-2.  Cleveland leads all teams by giving up 9, 0-2 count HR this season.

 

Who has hit the most 0-2 HR this season? You guessed it, your Minnesota Twins with 8.

[twinsnorth49]

 

How about Leinies???

Always possible, although given there's more curlers in Canada compared to the rest of the World combined, it's doubtful.

So, you're saying the eye test sees what it wants to see?

Thanks!!!

[DiscGolfer]

nice grab by Gibson. Time for the ol "best athlete on the field" line

[stringer bell]

Tight zone early, with the exception of strike three to Hicks.

What a fun collection of stats. Thanks!

[Jerr]

We need a run or more this inning!

[SwainZag]

I suppose it does.  Before I looked it up I would have assumed the Twins had given up a lot more than that.  Interestingly enough in those 8, 0-2 HR the Twins have hit, there has been:

 

1 Grand Slam

3 3-R HR

2 2-R HR

1 Solo HR

 

When the Twins hit 0-2 HR, they take advantage.

I'll keep going.  The Twins lead the MLB in 0-2 RBI, BY A LOT.

 

They have 44 RBI on an 0-2 count, the next closest team is the Giants with 33.  Trevor Plouffe is 2nd in the MLB with 0-2 RBI with 11.  The Dodgers are last and as a team have 13 0-2 RBI.

Why would anyone wonder about New York? It's a very well known city in New York!

[stringer bell]

Not to speculate too much, but my guess is that the pitcher broke his nose. I hope he's not too badly hurt. I'm really surprised more pitchers don't get hit.

[SwainZag]

 

and how many from Sano?

 

Sano has 1.  Plouffe 2, Dozier 2, Mauer 1, Hunter 1, Rosario 1

Wear 'em down, Joe...  lol
