Jose Miranda has 3 errors. 2 at 1B and 1 at 3B. For some reason I thought it was more than that. His errors seem to stand out I guess. He’s also started one game at DH in which he had no errors. But one game is a small sample size.

Just noticed Arraez is 3rd in AL with a .351 Average but 70th in ABs with 148. Underutilized? Correa, Sanchez, and Buxton come in 80th, 80th (tie) and Buxton 83rd.

Polanco is team leader with 177 ABs (21st overall)

Woo hoo, I called that!!?

OK. But saying you need a home run and actually saying you will hit a home run..... two different things. 

Wouldn't calling it be saying.... this will be a double play, and not that we need one?

[h2oface]

25 pitches in the first inning, but only made Skubal throw 10 in the second.

The offense is settling in.

Dunno. I miss April  Buxton.

I see that yesterday's starting pitcher is in LF today.

He's versatile. How many pitches did he finish with?

[mnfireman]

I say good for him, but the Twins don't need him - Astudillo just went yard for Miami...

[USAFChief]

Not sure I like Ober's pitch mix: 

Ball

Middle/middle

Definitely.  Didn't catch the box score this morning to see what the pitch count was.  Maybe @stringer bellknows?

Wonder what sort of rules will they have to enforce when time travelis invented?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Do infielders not like beer if the hopps are bad?

I'd start with stipulating that there'd be no time travel.

[rwilfong86]

At least Toronto is beating the White Sox 2-1 right now.

That'd make baseball impossible. How's the ball supposed to move?

Hey, he has a 2 game hitting streak (albeit only one hit a game, 2/9) and would have a 5 game hitting streak (albeit one a game, 5/22, if he wouldn't have only gotten 1 at bat in the middle of it and pinch hit). .227 for the 5 games, 2.17 for the 6 games.

[cHawk]

Can this team hit the ****ing ball?

[Aggies7]

I sneezed and missed our half of the inning

Sometimes. 

 

Pretty impressive with how large the field is they can find the Detroit fielders so easily.

As they say, hit them where they ain’t, not where they are

[Minderbinder]

Not too hard to go out on a limb and predict our June isn't going to be anything like our May....
