Didn't watch last night's game?

Yeah, I did. I thought it last night, too, but tonight is even worse.

Was the video on?

Diamond finished the 4th, but I don't know if he can polish off a 5th.

The lineup to which David Wells threw a perfect game was a dandy.

I saw that game, but I think at least half of our lineup was above .250 and I seem to think we had at least one .300 hitter in the lineup.

I checked. 5 plus .250 hitters. Nobody over .300. Uglier than I remember:

 

Vs David Wells:

 

Player PA AVG OBP SLG

Matt Lawton, CF 162 .244 .370 .444

Brent Gates, 2B 72 .129 .236 .194

Paul Molitor, DH 175 .255 .320 .325

Marty Cordova, LF .256 .350 .337

Ron Coomer, 1B 160 .269 .287 .455

Alex Ochoa, RF 84 .253 .298 .405

Jon Shave, 3B 11 .182 .182 .182

Javier Valentin, C .234 .260 .404

Pat Meares, SS 149 .296 .338 .444

Any Jon Shave sightings lately?

Dang, we're down 1-0. I was hoping we kept them scoreless- then we go to penalty kicks, and at that point anything can happen. Now we're in trouble.

I don't even remember Shave or Gates.

Now where did I put those damn paddles!

OK, here you go, from September 20, 1981. Avg and OPS

Hosken Powell, .238/.625

Rob Wilfong .245/.646

Mickey Hatcher, .263/.657

Glenn Adams, .204/.545 That's your DH, with an OPS of .545

Tim Corcoran, .158/.443 That's your power-hitting first baseman

Dave Engle, .240/.663

Gary Gaetti, .333/1.667 But to be fair, it was his first game and he went 1 for 3 w/ a HR

Sal Butera, .240/.618

Ron Washington, .205/.528

Announcer: Next up is Jon Wojehowicz from Poland. To slide into medal contention. He'll need at least an 8.5 from the judges.

Aug 26, 1981. They used 13 field players. The highest BA was .263 (John Castino). The highest OPS was .705 (Herbie). Your shortstop was Lenny Faedo, .167/.333. Your DH was Chuck Baker, .164/.364. Three Twins batting over .250 (out of 13). Two Twins with an OPS over .640 (Herbie and Danny Goodwin).

You know, Diamond's throwing a heck of a game here, against a pretty hot team and a sizzling pitcher. Props.

Probably saved his spot for his next start.
