Shep!

And he goes the long direction

I guess I am old-school and don't keep up with the new metrics and new way to play the game, but I really really can't stand the amount of strike outs we incur. Is two-strike hitting that passe now? I assume the numbers make sense if you have the ability to hit for power that you keep attempting to hit for power, but I also assume that style doesn't work if you can't actually hit for power. Can anyone school me on the modern day math?

Shep HR with two strikes and it’s 1-0

And Shepherd goes deep as I hit "post reply." You're welcome.

don't ask me as the math for choking up on two strikes and putting the ball in play seems like it would make more sense than ripping away in search of the perfect launch angle, but then again i am the guy who likes to see the ball go inside in basketball and not in the hands of a 25% shooter bombing away from 3 so i guess i am too damn old to understand

Porter B with a two out RBI double 2-0

how deep is the gopher pitching staff?

minnesota starter is close to 65 pitches already in the game

Don’t know.

 

[Pharm Frog]

BM needs to take a seat for the rest of this game

 

[flyfishingfrog]

Wasn’t even close to out

 

[PO Frog]

Also, if we are so modern-day on the metrics, why the hell are we ending the first two innings of a game on stolen base attempts? Or do we just half-ass the stats game?

 

[Pharm Frog]

At least getting caught stealing at home and third to end the first two innings is reducing our LOB stat

They called him out

Isn't the old adage never make the third out at third?

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Not going to get a replay appeal with the one camera view.

frogs are dominating the time of possession in this game

The only older adage is don’t attempt a triple steal with a wild pitcher.

 

[PO Frog]

My only thought is that this Minnesota staff has nothing left and we can experiment with some base running hijinx because we are expecting another dozen runs. Let's hope that pans out.

Russell Smith is dealing today.
