Former Oriole Jonathan Schoop was part of a Triple Play turned by the Twins defense in their win over the Yankees tonight.

The triple play was almost a carbon copy of the Twins' last triple play, which occurred 11 years earlier against the Angels in 2008.

In 2018, the respective starting pitchers for each team (Jose Berrios and James Paxton) led the American League in Complete Games (2) and CG-Shutouts (1) ........ this season, neither completed a game. 

Paxton was pitching for the Mariners at that time (2018), while Berrios has remained with the men from eastern Minnesota.

Gary Sanchez just did an anti-Derek Jeter ........ when the ball hit the knob of the bat, he pointed at the bat, signaling that was was not hit by the pitch.

The Orioles put up no fight against the Yankees this year.  But that being said, the updated stats are no even more impressive:

Over the last 18 years, in 140 games against NY (regular season and playoffs), the Twins are now 37-103.....a .264 winning percentage, which would equate to 43-119 over a full season.  The most amazing part of this....the Twins are actually an over .500 team over those same 18 years (even when you include the wins/losses against NY).

    • On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.
    • I like this idea better, but I am curious to what it would take to secure Mason Miller.
    • I totally get it.  It’s a huge risk vs. reward situation, but getting someone like him (if he’s still strong) or Skubal could make a major difference come October for you guys over the next three seasons.
    • IMHO it's not about whether Crochet is an "opener" or a reliever, it's the innings.  He's never thrown more than 65 innings (at college in 2019) in his entire college or pro career and stands at 105.1 today.  Let that sink in.  On top of that, there is Crochet's TJ surgery, where he missed all of 2022 and had multiple stints on the IL in 2023 as he was recovering, tossing a total of 25 IP. Does any of this mean he cannot throw double (130 IP) or triple (195 IP) his prior max?  No one can say for certain, but I'd think any reasonable person would agree that, at the very least, it's a far riskier proposition for someone like Crochet than a pitcher who has been a starter and has thrown 150+ IP before.  So, to recap: The most innings he's ever thrown was 65 IP in college (2019) After throwing 54 innings of relief for the White Sox in 2021, he missed all of 2022 with Tommy John surgery He followed up in 2023 by throwing a total of 25 innings of relief, as he dealt with a couple of IL stints recovering from TJ His first ever pro start came this season and he's been dynamite through 105.1 IP Elias and Sig are well aware of the risks and it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
    • Gunnar doing a good job of hitting the ball to all fields.
    • Tell me the cost and I would probably sign up. What about you Qauntrill, Scherzer and Yates and you got to keep all top 4 prospects?
