Carrassco was at 98 pitches. Much more reasonable
Which Twins hitters are performing in the clutch?
Interesting read.
Twins miss Polanco's bat.
Mauer is really good at baseball, in spite of what @Nosferatu says....
First off, happy birthday to Mauer. Secondly, 1 RBI in 40 post season at bats... Yeah, he's really good alright, lolzzz
Was anyone on base ahead of him?
and seriously? I'm not a Mauer apologist by any stretch of the imagination.
Career with no runners on .295
Career with men on base jumps to .330
Career with bases loaded... wait for it.... .374
"Yeah, but post season.... No homers...."
Lots of guys with good and great careers haven't done much in the playoffs... but what were the teams around him/them? Take his contract out of the picture, and you are speaking a different tune.
When you are the guy making waaaaay more than anyone else on the team you need to do better than 1 RBI in 40 at bats in the playoffs, obviously the guys around him were decent enough for the Twins to have made the playoffs... $200M in earnings and ZERO playoff wins... Yep, he's great!
