Another example of Baldelli's mismanagement. He should have batted those players 1-4 instead of 5-8. ?

2nd time we’re making McKenzie look absolutely pedestrian in less than a week.

Sorry but I just have to chuckle a little as these comments obviously didn’t age very well …. thankfully

I like that order.  Especially considering how today's game is going.  Less pressure on Winder to go out and do something special.  And if he does, all that much better.

I think it also helps save the bullpen (maybe). He only threw 59 pitches in his last outing, so that puts him around 75 pitches or so which maybe gets you through 5 innings if everything goes correctly, where as Smeltzer can certainly give you 100 pitches if the game is lopsided one way or the other.

Can anyone guess who this Twins player is? This is one of the more surprising Statcast pages that I've seen.

I'm old. I'm tired. I don't know what half of this means.  Please tell me. ?

We have a winner!

Honestly, if it weren't for Nick Gordon being labeled a bust before he made his 1st major league PA, I think we would be as excited about him as we are about guys like Kirilloff and Larnach.

I've maintained that he's got an important role on this team.  Guys like him are important.

I'm not sure I'd quite go that far. He has an OPS in the .650's and isn't a plus defender anywhere and can't really play shortstop, but he's perfectly fine in the role he has now

He’s a more versatile Willians Astudillo. Probably less fun, more versatility, but once he’s due more than the absolute minimum he gone.

Where did you get these stats? MLB has Gordon with 41 strikeouts and Jeffers with 52?

never mind I need to look closer

A lot of the excitement here is for the chosen few; actual performance numbers , no matter how meh, keep them above other with just as good or better numbers.

Oh boy. Another position player pitcher appearance. Have I mentioned that I’m incredibly bored of this?

You were kinda wishy-washy in your blog.  Can you clarify your stance on the matter for those keeping score at home? :)
