    Superb analysis as always. I think it messes up a lot of things. It was great having the side-by-side video (TYVM). I noticed that last year he was able to plant his front foot a nanosecond longer before it turns over. I would think that the longer his front foot remains planted the more power he can generate...but that is just my guess.

    It's a win and it goes in the "W" column, but these are the Royals so... Concerning Rogers. Shaky again. This has not been a one-off that pops up, which happens to most closers. This is like the fourth or fifth straight time that he hasn't had shutdown stuff. It's not like he has been facing Murderers Row either, and, fortunately for him, this fact may have contributed to his escape as the Royals are a few years away from being a good team. Once we start facing some tougher lineups, things will get that much more difficult. Time for a change. I'd go with Romo as I prefer Duffey in those high leverage situations that arise prior to the ninth.

    Totally concur here. We were in a fix for hitting by using those pinch runners and substitutions in the field.

    I agree with a couple of previous posters. Rogers' stuff looks completely hittable. His fastball doesn't seem to be moving very much and his slider/curve selections are just laying there. He was fortunate to escape the inning with only three runs despite the misplay in the field.

    I get to watch highlights on TV today thanks to Maeda ;-)

    More like a 10K this year.

    Is this a re-post article from spring 2019? Just checking ;-)

    Some people don't, but I loved that place. I saw Puckett's first home run.

    These are walk offs, but there have been some mighty big non-walk offs as well, such as Dozier's come-from-behind three run blast against the Indians in 2017 in late September in Cleveland to give the Twins some breathing room in the wild card chase.

    This was great fun to watch. The host didn't really know how to engage the players when they were sitting next to him, which I found very amusing. A: He hit that one hard, didn't he Willie? W: Yes, he did. A: That was an out in our game, but if it were a real game that would have been a double. W: Yes, it would have.

    I never figured out why everyone hated Limitless so much. I am still awaiting the comeback season...

    Very nice reading. After reading about Miranda, you start pulling for the guy.

    I am hoping for the best and many televised games to boot!

    I' really not saying this to irritate anyone but, every argument extolling the virtues of Buxton inevitably includes (in one way or another) this caveat, "If Buxton can stay healthy..." I (really do) hope I'm wrong, but the only fastballs he may be hammering will be on Play Station 4...('Wait, do players get injured in the latest version of RBI Baseball 19? I'm might have to change my statement.')
  15. Aerodeliria
    Good stuff. Thank you very much!

    I always thought he had to be moved to first base. He was just a bit too slow to react at 3rd and his range was more like a stove. The good thing is that he is that by playing third, he is used to all kinds of bad hops and that should make a transition to 1st easier and hopefully, he can snag some of those errant throws late in games (these seemed to have dogged the Twins over the past couple of years). Great article!

    Frankly, I don't like this rule as it affects baseball strategy at the core. I was really surprised it won the day; I assumed that the pitch timer would be instilled, which is something I think anyone could live with. I hope there are mega-complaints about the rule following this season...

    The Twins are going to need a bigger nap room soon.
  19. Aerodeliria
    From my point-of-view, I am very happy to have Mr. Front-field (meaning of his Chinese characters) as they will most certainly televise some of his games here, and if we ever get a Tanaka (Mr. Field-middle) vs. Maeda match-up, it will be the game of the year here.

    Deborah Koons is still getting Dead money ;-)

    Sano has been named team captain! https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2020/01/25/baseball/japanese-baseball/baystars-unveil-keita-sano-teams-new-captain/#.XlcrkigzYdU OK...sorry about that. I'm just in a strange mood today.
  22. Aerodeliria
    Even pointing to a team being the 'best' is a subjective notion at best (see what I did there). The best team lifts the trophy in October, but it doesn't mean they were necessarily the best at everything or even the most things. I thought that the Astros were the superior team when compared to the Nats on so many levels, but the Astros didn't lift the trophy.
  23. Aerodeliria
    I also loved the read. I'd say your theory has much merit. If he can get confidence throwing the change in any count and situation as well as keeping his fastball around 94-95, it could be shades of Johan.
  24. Aerodeliria
    Good stuff! Thanks for this.
  25. Aerodeliria
    This is also my opinion. I think Graterol will be a very good pitcher; however, we have a chance to win now, but not without some starting pitching. I know many think we can weather the storm until we get Pineda up and running, but we could be 5 or 6 games adrift by that point.
