  4. Trying to watch baseball games at work and there are tons of customers is suboptimal.

  5. Every game won by road teams thus far and road teams are leading the first two games today. So why were the Royals playing their best lineups and pitchers against the Twins?

    1. I feel like that might have been the worst pinch running performance in the history of the game.

  9. A player wearing number 60 is on a playoff roster and just hit a bomb for the Cardinals.

      1. Actually, quite a few players have worn number 60 at some point in their careers. The list includes ex-Twins Willie Banks, Brian Bass, Juan Castro, Willie Eyre, Jeff Gray, Sean Henn, Pedro Hernandez, Jeff Manship, and Jon Rauch (they did not all wear 60 with the Twins). Glen Perkins wore number 60 for a couple of years. Some other notable number 60s are Dick Allen, Stan Bahnsen, Stan Belinda, Jonny Gomes, Alex Johnson, Dallas Keuchel, Craig Lefferts, Mike Maddux, Jason Motte, Hanley Ramirez, Scott Schoeneweis, J. T. Snow, Joey Votto, Adam Wainwright, and Victor Zambrano.

        1. I did a little research on the proliferation of players wearing "Spring Training" uniform numbers that occurred the last few years.

          For the Twins, for example:

          They had 1 (ONE!) plate appearance total from a player with a uniform number in the 50's from 1961-88. They never had a plate appearance by a player in the 60's until 2007 (that's right, they had PA's in the 70's before the 60's thanks to Tony Batista).

          The Twins never had more than 12% of their innings thrown by pitchers with uniform numbers higher than 39 until 1984. Since 1984, it happened every single season. The Twins never had a pitch thrown by someone in the 60's until 2006 (that's right, they had IP's in the 70's before the 60's thanks to Joa Roa and one quick game of Pat Neshek before they switched him to 17). From 2006-13, the percentage of innings thrown by players in the 60s on the Twins: 0.32%, 2.00%, 14.26%, 2.20%, 4.36%, 2.02%, 16.77%, 16.69%.

      2. I have no idea who he is so I looked him up. 16th round draft pick in 2006 finally made it to the big leagues. Thats a nice story.

    1. So had I until he was announced as the next batter at the Rockies mets tilt this summer. I was happy to see him playing for a contender.

  14. How could David Wright have the longest consecutive tenure with one team in MLB? Mauer debuted with the Twins on Opening Day 2004; Wright didn't come up until July, 21. It's not like Wright hasn't also missed long stretches on the DL.

    Anyway, this is the first time I realized that Joe Mauer has the longest tenure with a his current team in the MLB.

      1. Then he should have said most games played. Tenure has a completely different meaning. I don't anyone was saying Jeter's tenure was twice as long as Mariano Rivera's.

    1. The young'un and I listened to the new album today. Nothing else matches the brilliance of Pretty Pimpin, but that's on the short list for song of the year, so that would have been an unfair expectation.

      It's a damned fine album.
