2015 Game 114: Rangers at Twins

Yes, the local nine are fading, but Miguel Sano is must-see TV. I could live with 2015 being 2001 in terms of significance.

Ervin Santana, who's been real up and down since he came back, faces Chi Chi Gonzalez, who is named Chi Chi. He's a spot starter, replacing Cole Hamels, who's been walking more and more guys as he climbs the ranks to the majors.

Let's sweep this thing, Twins, because why not?

  3. Eduardo Escobar singles on a line drive to right fielder Shin-Soo Choo. Eddie Rosario scores. Eduardo Escobar to 2nd on the throw.

    Rosario looked like he was on first when Escobar singled. Someone's going to have to explain this.

    Also, Hherrmmann!

    1. Rosario went to third on single, throw went to cutoff, Escobar stupidly went too far to first base, gets in rundown, Rangers can't execute, take too long, Rosario sprints for home and slides around catcher's tag and then lunges back for plate to score.

  9. The rangers probably should have like 6 hrs at this point. But luckily its a 0-1 game. Go Twins!

      1. He's ours until 2018*.

        I'm sure we'll be beating the trade offers away with a stick.

        * Or 2019, if the team exercises their option for that year.

          1. Right alongside Ricky Nolasco (2017... 2018 with option, or a player option, if he manages to pitch 400 innings between the next two seasons, I guess*)

            * Santana's got an innings pitched vesting option, too.

    2. So a guy uses PEDs, sees a spike in his K rate, signs a $55M contract, gets busted for PED use, loses half a season and about $6.5M, comes back and can't strike anybody out but still is guaranteed $48M. Yeah, that seems fair.

  15. Aaron Hicks is suddenly decent at baseball, you guys.

    What on earth happened on that play, though? People seem to be scoring (or trying to score) from first on singles. This is weird to me. Can someone who is seeing this explain?

    1. I was very surprised they sent him, but the center fielder didn't come up firing so it was on the cutoff man to throw him out. Throw was up the line and still beat Robinson to the plate, but he did a good job of trying to avoid the tag.

      In the replay Robinson slipped around second and held up for half a step around third (he was just as surprised as I was that he was being waved around?)
