May 23, 20179 yr Uhh, I think the stadium is in a really really bad part of town. To the point full house or not, you're gonna hear sirens.Its close to bad part, but it's actually in a good part. Been there for many games, still my favorite park ever.
May 23, 20179 yr Author Going into today, Twins wRC+ at home was 103, Twins wRC+ on the road was 97. Were our announcers just saying we hit better on the road?? They might have meant "WIN" better on the road. or "Drive"
May 23, 20179 yr With Gibsons first pitch of the game being ball one, I figured this would be a long night. It has been, in a good way. Gotta give Gibson some credit for hanging in there. And excellent relief by Duffey. Thank goodness for Lauren Dusky in between. Edited May 23, 20179 yr by Halsey Hall
May 23, 20179 yr I thought I heard on the radio today that the Twins bullpen over the last couple weeks has the best ERA. Anyone able to confirm? According to Fangraphs, yes, best over the last 14 days, 1.82.
May 23, 20179 yr They might have meant "WIN" better on the road. or "Drive"I thought they were talking about how the offense is more relaxed on the road therefore they do better.
May 23, 20179 yr Uhh, I think the stadium is in a really really bad part of town. To the point full house or not, you're gonna hear sirens.I've been there several times. Also once to see Vikings/ravens in 98 when Gary Anderson kicked 6 field goals and there were 3 kick returns for TDs
May 23, 20179 yr Author I thought they were talking about how the offense is more relaxed on the road therefore they do better. Last time I was relaxed on the road. A cop came by and suggested that I should relax in the ditch instead. Because it was safer... or something like that.
May 23, 20179 yr Gibson looked horrible. I give him credit for looking horrible :-)But like the girl at the bar at 1:58 am who was juuuuust a little less ugly, he's the winner
May 23, 20179 yr Mauer wRC+ above 100 now! I know Mauer has gotten a lot of criticism, and much of it deserved, but his May has been a lot better than his April (which I guess there was no way to go than up). His numbers have been ticking upwards.
May 23, 20179 yr Gibson looked horrible. I give him credit for looking horrible :-)But he looked great in the last inning!...much like that girl at the bar at closing time.
May 23, 20179 yr But like the girl at the bar at 1:58 am who was juuuuust a little less ugly, he's the winner And that, kids, is how I met your mother.
May 23, 20179 yr Going into today, Twins wRC+ at home was 103, Twins wRC+ on the road was 97. Were our announcers just saying we hit better on the road? Cause no...not by wRC+ or standard BA/OBP/SLG% I believe that was Bremer once again. First, looking at the team ERA for Cleveland and saying they have "the worst rotation", then glancing at the road record and home record and asking Morris something about the team hitting better on the road because they're relaxed. Morris basically suggested maybe it had something to do with facing pitchers who were performaing poorly. Like Ubaldo tonight.
May 23, 20179 yr Guaranteed sano will catch one in the ribs for his hop around third. Just judging by how silly baseball is these days
May 23, 20179 yr What happened to that Buxton that was hot? I liked that Buxton a lot. This game is not over.I'm not sure at what point in the game you said this ... but ... it was truly an understatement!
