2014 Game 16: Minnesota Twins at Kansas City Royals

Ricky Nolasco
v
Jason Vargas

Since Nolasco did so well last time against the Royals, the schedule makers kindly arranged for him to face the Royals again. The Royals are coming off a sweep of the Astros, but anyone could do that (except the Yankees).

BR's SRS score has the Twins tops in the division with a 0.6. I'm sure it will improve greatly after the 149-game win streak finishes.

  1. Maestro leading off and the Dude with a day off vs. the lefty. Maestro with a career .340 OBP vs. lefties, so I'm on board with this decision.

  2. Smalley seems to be disregarding the real reason for Colabello's early success: facial hair.

    Also, he doesn't seem to be swinging flat-footed nearly as often this year as he did last year. I'm guessing bette rpitch recognition, but I 'unno.

  3. Harang with seven no-hit innings. I wonder how long he goes as he's thrown 121 pitches with six walks and five strikeouts.

  4. According to the radio guys, Bartlett is going to announce his retirement tomorrow.
