Ump has missed at least 4 calls that I've noticed between the two halves of this inning

Oppor 3 BB in 2 innings in the ACL. Lost, lost, lost

He's a team player!

I dislike the "nibbling" characterization because that implies Eisert has some control over where the ball goes

Benny would be throwing a lollipop bomb to try to get those guys

Put me down as believing it actually would have been better if every single one of those hits was a home run

Is there something wrong with their LF? Why doesn't he ever try to make a competitive throw?

Holy crap

Another run would make me feel better about sending Sandlin back out

Surprised that didn't even draw a throw to home

That used to be an unhittable pitch for MIguel

Slow or not, a route shaped like that scares me

Curious how long they will let him go. Pitch count is low, even relative to his reported pitch limit, but the times through the order penalty kicks in regardless.

Don't know if the ball is getting blown out towards RF or Grichuk is just mis-reading everything for his first few steps

See, for instance, Derek's next AB without a bunt

Buxton can appreciate a guy who mixes in some blasts alongside some regrettable at bats

White Sox players' baserunning value, per FanGraphs calculation. The units here are runs relative to MLB average. To some extent, hard to distinguish yourself a whole lot one way or another.

Vargas going to 3B there is an example of a play that I don't expect Colson to have attempted.

Feel like we're at about 4 out of 5 Twins batters who justtt missed it

Grichuk had an awfully casual jog for how close to needing to leap over the fence that was

Yeah I mean my initial thought was "I'm not sure if a runner will advance here" and then "oh it's Colson so now I'm really sure he won't"

Colson tends to grade out as one of the worst baserunners in MLB. He's not fast, but it's not just his speed holding him back. Seems ultra-conservative as he doesn't really get thrown out, yet by the numbers he just doesn't get many bases.

Besides the homer, which was very much killed, they didn't make any good contact against him. Seems like he started filling the zone a bit more as the game went on and they weren't quite as chase oriented. Had his usual loss of 1.5mph on the fastball from the first to his final inning (down to 93.4 average). This is a guy who averaged almost 97mph in his first start of the season. Seems like the drop and drive delivery will make everything play up though.

Been seeing a few more of those nice solid lined singles from Colson lately.
