Eh, not likely. The Twins ran up 37 K's on BP just over the weekend. 

What if another team needs a guy to throw BP?

    As someone really smart and insightful said--don't remember where I read it--"Nothing says rebuild like Robbie Grossman leading off."

    It's a completely logical rule.  To record an out, a defender must control the baseball, and in some cases, also either tag a runner or touch a base.  On a dropped/passed third strike, the defender (i

 

early season Fun with Numbers--Brent Rooker's first pitch strike percentage is 150%.

But he battles his tail off...gives 110%.

What if the team is running low on baseballs for BP?

Maybe some Nerf balls for him. I don't think another team would give up regulation MLB baseballs for a pitcher who gives up hits. A pitcher's job is LITERALLY to not give up hits or walks.

 

Robbie Grossman has an average of .000, but an OBP of .615.

 

That is insane.

Brings to mind, a former Washington Senator (Griffith organization) third baseman Ed Yost. He wasn't a high percentage hitter, didn't have great power but still led the league in walks several times.

Twins generally not punishing Urena enough for his lack of control so far... Far too many swings at marginal pitches, given how wild he's been.

I'll be back.

This is a Twins forum, we only care about Robbie Grossman's fielding percentage.

oh no...we cannot have nice things. 

Ohhhh, this wouldn't be good. Please be fine Luis.

Urena is a prime example of a guy who has good to great stuff but can't hit water from a floating boat

 

Watching pitchers like Urena is painful. He can’t find the zone and seems to throw roughly two pitches a minute.

I'm sure that it's just as riveting for the defense behind him.

I did miss the sarcastic applause from the crowd when a pitcher finally throws a strike

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That was all due to the defense being too preoccupied with Sano's speed on third.

Which was exaggerated due to the defense falling asleep behind a pitcher that can't hit the broad side of a barn.

Did that not hit the pole?

If we've got to deal with replay, the very least they could do was get it correct.

 

...or you just go ahead and hit another anyway!

Eyy, Cruz missile took about 2 seconds to hit its target!
