May 13, 201313 yr Fun:- Aaron Hicks and Adam Dunn are tied for last in BA among qualified MLB batters (.137). - Jeff Keppinger (who some advocated for as an MI option this off-season) is the only qualified MLB batter without a single walk. He is also last in OPS by 68 points, trailing one rookie-CFer named Aaron Hicks. - The White Sox, at a lowly 9th in the AL, have generated 46% more strikeouts than the Twins (last in AL). The Pale Hose team ERA is 2nd in the AL at 3.40. - The White Sox are last in the AL in team OPS at .650. Only Alex Rios is above the AL average of .733.
May 13, 201313 yr Keppinger is having a fascinating season. He's walked to the plate 125 times now, and hasn't drawn a single walk. That's amazing.
May 13, 201313 yr Keppinger is having a fascinating season. He's walked to the plate 125 times now, and hasn't drawn a single walk. That's amazing. One of those rarest of rarities: his OBP is lower than his BA. At least he has 2 XBHs, so his SLG is .016 higher than his BA. Take away those two doubles and he'd be pulling off quite a feat: OBP < BA while SLG = BA. My search skills are primitive at best, so I don't claim this as fact, but I can't find anyone in MLB history who has pulled that double play off for 100+ PAs.
May 13, 201313 yr If I still had my B-ref subscription I'd run one of their super-awesome season-finder queries to see what the highest amount of PA's were to achieve that, but I'm a cheap bastard and quit renewing it.
May 13, 201313 yr Caught between a sponge and a soft space......WS hitting and Twins starting pitching.....which will break first? I say the Twins win 2, maybe 3.
May 13, 201313 yr The Twins had a legitimate chance to go 6-1 this past week. Extra inning losses to the Red Sox and Orioles could have very easily been wins, which I look at as an encouraging sign. If they can take 4 of 6 from Chicago and Boston this week, that would be a really solid few weeks of ball.
May 13, 201313 yr Fun:- Aaron Hicks and Adam Dunn are tied for last in BA among qualified MLB batters (.137)..Hey, Hicks's got the average, he's got the strike outs, he's got the walks, all you add is the home runs and you've got an Adam Dunn with speed.
May 13, 201313 yr Hey there guys I am from chicago and was planning on seeing the twins play the sox tomorrow. Unfortunately I am in the hospital so I can no longer attend. I posted the tickets on stubhub if anyone is interested. They are diamond box 121 2nd row seats 21,22 aisle. https://www.stubhub.com/twins-vs-white-sox-5-14-2013-4169649/?ticket_id=497998426
May 13, 201313 yr Liam Hendriks has been placed on the disasbled list at Triple-A Rochester due to a sore right elbow. It could explain his struggles this season, as Hendriks holds a 5.53 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over five Triple-A starts. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be sidelined. Source: LaVelle E.

May 14, 201313 yr Early troubles turn into often troubles. I feel bad for Pedro... It's looking like he needs to consider Restaurants choices in Rochester, Scranton, Syracuse, Buffalo and others.
May 14, 201313 yr A fine start for Hernandez! Welle he did strike out Adam Dunn, then again, everyone does.
May 14, 201313 yr Welle he did strike out Adam Dunn, then again, everyone does. Sometimes I wonder if Dunn would have the same K percentage if he hit Blindfolded.
May 14, 201313 yr Welle he did strike out Adam Dunn, then again, everyone does.And he got Keppinger out, then again, everyone does.
May 14, 201313 yr Great play by Plouffe but his feet didn't move. It'd be easier if his feet were more inclined.
May 14, 201313 yr I might be missing something... Rodents driving a Kia Soul... Is that supposed to make me want one?
May 14, 201313 yr Is this the Game Thread? I get confused sometimes... I might have went into the West Brom discussion thread by mistake.
May 14, 201313 yr Every Dog has his day. c'mon that ain't fair... It's not like it was his first hit of the year.
May 14, 201313 yr c'mon that ain't fair... It's not like it was his first hit of the year. Yeah... Let's see how excited you are about Florimon in July.
