FootballZombie Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 A wins a win I guess. That was so stressful. There were fielding errors galore and most of our pitchers stunk and we somehow survived it. Whole pitching staff gonna be icing their arms tonight.

TheDoyler23 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Gotta handle the Cards before the Rays come to town. Rays are in Minnesota and due to that trash division, they don't have much to play for as they're the only team above .500. Means pitching Tuesday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Arenado straight throws one into right field, allowing Cedric to score from first on a Hicks single. 1-1 Urias singles Hicks home! 2-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force defense to make plays. Crazy how much we have with Mullins, Mateo, Westburg, Hicks, Frazier, Urias, Henderson and McKenna when he plays. Too bad Mateo couldn't get on base more often Edit: I just looked this up and apparently Mountcastle is faster than Mullins (Mountcastle 28.1 ft/s Mullins 27.9 ) Also it doesn't appear we are particularly fast, with only one player (Mateo) in the top 50. The next we have ranked is Westburg at 62 followed by Henderson at 80. Also Frazier and Urias don't have particularly high ranks (in the 300s) Surprising. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/sprint_speed Edited September 11, 2023 by DCSaints_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not a lot of guys with elite speed. And that’s ok because it’s not like they have a bunch of guys with pianos on their backs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take into account acceleration or baserunning smarts. Look at Hicks just stretch a single into a double tonight. You have to be fast to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Twins are going to hang their little division banner and then get waxed by a wildcard team because they’re a mediocre team in a terrible division. And they’re ****ing useless to us tonight. Jerks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 The Orioles clinched the division in '14 with their 91st win on September 16th. (winning 96 games overall) They won their 91st game yesterday. Goes to show how incredible the Rays start to the season was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 The Twins lost the rubber match at home to the Rays. Thanks guys. At least you won one in the series on your way to that AL Central participation trophy! Imagine being a Jays fan right now, 15 games over 500 desperately trying to catch that last wildcard while a few great lakes away, the Twins are sitting there, a handful of games above .500 in a pathetic division, eating paste and coasting toward their first round exit in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get mad at the Twins for losing 2/3 to a better team when we just laid a giant egg against one of the worst teams in baseball. The bats should be due in the TB series. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
