TF is Swanson doing there?

The young man is good.

I don’t love Luke with runners on base, but that hit was a bull**** bloop. Just ****ty luck.

That’s kinda where I am on it. The ball has turned some Ozzie HR into 2B and outs.

Sweet

Seriously, just chuck the ball straight into the dugout. Oops. If I were an MLB player I would be a Scrappy Lunchpail Guy Who Plays the Game the Right Way, except every time I hit a HR against a LaRussa team i would do a KBO-tier bat flip and combine Ozuna and Acuña’s HR trots.

I was only half-sure he wasn’t when I posted that.

Kevan Smith, if he hurries.

I’m just amazed that dude could time a 47 MPH pitch and hit it out. Seems like the Twins should just respect that instead of getting all unwritten rulesy about it. You suck enough to have to have a position player pitch multiple innings this season and you’re throwing at a guy because he showed...

Famous last words.

Ask Snit, I guess. He seemed sad that we’re hitting solo homers instead of keeping the line moving.

Basically that we’re not keeping the line moving.

Again, yeah. I think we should be a LITTLE better, based on luck and umpiring, and Snit’s bullpen magic, etc. I don’t think we’re bad. But I do think we’re mediocre.

I’m going to get on board with expecting him to regress (progress?) towards his xBA number. But that still makes him a ~marginal hitter who can be a pleasant surprise at the bottom of the order but not a guy to count on. Snit sounds pretty clueless in the postgame.

What a dick.

Yeah. It’s a tight margin and I don’t feel good about it right now.

He’s always been a high-K guy. As good as he was last year, he had a career-high K rate. But this year he’s bumped the K% and dropped the BB%. I know I’ve given him tons of ****, but as long as he’s playing good D we should be able to put him at the bottom of the order and enjoy his occasional...

I’m putting a lot of stock in the hitters’ luck turning, but...yeah, the pitching.

Worth considering, IMO. We’re probably a a .500 or +1 with a better ‘pen and better management of same. But that’s not enough.

I admit I didn’t see it.
