OtB Twins Notes (05.18.09)

Via Over The Baggy  |  May 18, 2009
Even with the loss, the Joe Mauer-Brett Gardner play was sick.  Swine flu sick.  (Editor's note: it would feel much better if it happened in a Twins' win.)  According to the Star-Ledger's Colin Stephenson the Yankees center fielder Gardner, who Mauer tagged with a diving save attempting to score in the bottom of the ninth, believed Mauer was throwing...

Atlanta Braves Lose To Colorado Rockies: One Run In 18 Innings Are Your Braves

Via Tomahawk Take  |  May 19, 2009

Todd Helton Gets His 2000th Hit ... Um ... Maybe?

Via Sportz Assassin  |  May 19, 2009
Todd Helton ripped a line drive past Yunel Escobar to get his 2,000th hit. Maybe. We're not sure yet.That's because the official scorer in Atlanta ruled it an error on Escobar. Rockies manager Clint Hurdle plans on discussing the matter with the scorer and seeing if he can get it changed. That will mean Helton will get his 2,000th hit nearly an entire day after he swung the...

Pineiro's Gem

Via Cubs f/x  |  May 19, 2009
Instead of moping, I decided to admire Joel Pineiro's shut-out of the Cubs. To do so, I compared his sinker from Tuesday night to the sinkers thrown by Derek Lowe and Brandon Webb (both during August 2008 in St. Louis).Enjoy the pictures. Click for larger versions.First up is spin movement, in inches. It's the catcher's view, and it shows how much the pitch deviated...
