Mauer's power outage a multifaceted issue
AL MVP adjusting to new ballpark and defensive shifts
By Kelly Thesier / MLB.com
MINNEAPOLIS -- The problem with delivering a season like Joe Mauer did in 2009, when he batted .365 with a career-high 28 home runs while leading the Majors in average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, is that expectations are raised. So much so that as the Twins catcher entered Friday batting .300 with only three home runs through his first 69 games of this season, there are many questions being asked about what might be wrong with the reigning American League MVP. According to his manager Ron Gardenhire, the answer is nothing. "He's on the ball as well as anybody on this team, hitting line drives and rockets everywhere," Gardenhire said recently. "The home runs will come. Just like we said a few years ago, we don't worry about Joe Mauer. There are a lot of other people you worry about, not Joe." When Mauer returned from a back injury that kept him out for all of April last season, he got off to a very hot start. It's the kind of start that certainly would seem difficult to replicate, and that's been the case so far this year for Mauer. Through his first 69 games of the '09 season, Mauer was batting .362 with 15 home runs, 49 RBIs and a .592 slugging percentage. This season, he's batting .300 with three homers, 34 RBIs and a .431 slugging percentage. For most hitters a .300 average would certainly be considered far from a disappointment. But for the three-time AL batting champion, who signed an eight-year, $184 million contract extension with the Twins during Spring Training, those types of results aren't what he expects of himself -- even if it's perhaps unfair to compare everything to his standout '09 season. "I really haven't felt good," Mauer said as he got ready by his locker before the Twins' contest against the Rays on Thursday afternoon. "Everybody wants to compare to what happened last year and stuff like that. Obviously, I think I'm my worst critic and harder on myself than anybody can be out there. "I've had moments where I've felt good here and haven't had anything to show for it. But I'm really not going to change what I do. I've been doing pretty well so far [in my career], and I'm just trying to get back to the feeling that I've had and trying to sustain that for a longer time." So what has been the reason that Mauer's numbers so far this season have gone down so drastically? Mauer's lack of power so far this season seems to be the most glaring difference from a year ago, as witnessed by his decrease in slugging percentage. Perhaps a reason for that is the change in Mauer's home ballpark. With the Twins' move into Target Field, all of the club's players have needed to adapt to the new dimensions and particularly the fact that the ball isn't traveling as well to the gaps like it did at the Metrodome. Hitting home runs at Target Field hasn't been easy, particularly for the Twins. The majority of the balls that have traveled out have been hit down the lines, which does not bode well for the Twins, who have primarily been a gap-to-gap hitting team in the past. And perhaps that's most true for Mauer, who has hit all three of his homers on the road. "He's still getting used to the ballpark," Twins hitting coach Joe Vavra said of Mauer. "The Metrodome was very comfortable for him. He trusted the backdrop and all that stuff. He needs to learn to trust the new ballpark and what he can do with it. It's going to take a little while, maybe a little longer than he thought, to figure it out." Vavra and Mauer's teammates agreed that Mauer has perhaps been affected more than any Twins hitter by the balls not carrying out at home. But it's the lack of hits into the gaps, not homers, for Mauer that they feel could be wearing on the catcher.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say it was a little frustrating, but there are a lot of things that go on over the course of a season, even half a season," Mauer said. "What can you do? You can whine about it or you can keep working and trying to change it."
Vavra said that it doesn't appear opposing teams are pitching to the catcher any differently. But there have been some new defensive alignments, which could be part of the reason why Mauer has grounded into a team-high 14 double plays and has seen fewer balls drop in the outfield.
"I've seen him hit the ball harder and more consistently this year than I think I had -- other than the home runs -- last year," said Twins first baseman Justin Morneau. "As far as line drives, it seems like he's a few balls dropping in from getting really hot and finishing the year at .350 or .360, like he can. It's funny how the expectations are so high for him and he's still the best-hitting catcher in the league and having an off year hitting .300."
The numbers certainly appear to back up the sentiment. According to fangraphs.com, a total of 25.9 percent of the balls Mauer has put into play have been line drives. It's the highest number of his career -- that number had been at 22.6 percent the previous two seasons.
Mauer also has seen his average on ground balls up the middle decrease from .417 last year to .208 this season, according billjamesonline.net. And while the catcher put up a ridiculous .909 average on line drives to right field last year, that number has decreased to .600 this year, which indicates the shifts deployed to slow him down have done just that.
"His ball seems to stay up there, and he's getting a little frustrated," Vavra said. "So when you get a little frustrated you kind of expand the strike zone a bit."
The numbers back that up. Mauer has swung at 23.6 percent of pitches outside of the strike zone this season, according to fangraphs.com. That number is the highest in Mauer's career, and up from 20.4 percent last year.
One of the things that perhaps has made Mauer's numbers over the past few seasons so impressive is that he has produced at an exceedingly high level despite the wear and tear he takes being a catcher. Mauer was sidelined for seven games in early May due to a deep bone bruise on his left heel. He's still feeling some of the effects of that injury, and overall the foul tips and such from being behind the plate this season have left Mauer with a few more aches and pains than usual.
"I've been pretty banged up this year, but if I'm in the lineup, I'm not going to say this is the reason why it's happening," Mauer said. "I've had some good at-bats and hit the ball hard -- just haven't had anything to show for it."
While Mauer stressed he's trying not to change his approach, Vavra said that Mauer did work on trying to pull some balls for a stretch earlier this month since pitchers were starting to throw inside more frequently to the catcher. But overall, Vavra doesn't expect Mauer to change too much when it comes to how he approaches things at the plate, no matter if his power numbers continue to stay down.
"His approach is the same, his plan is the same," Vavra said. "He's pretty unflappable. I don't think he's going to try to approach it differently. In the past when they've pitched him in, he's adjusted in. When they pitched him away, he's adjusted away. He's always got the same game plan and it's worked for him."
|"The Metrodome was very comfortable for him. He trusted the backdrop and all that stuff. He needs to learn to trust the new ballpark and what he can do with it."

Bribery is a threat to good governance, sustainable economic development, democracy and people's welfare. The corrosive effects of bribery can spread across borders, affecting economies and societies everywhere. The ability to address bribery, both domestically and internationally, is impaired by a lack of transparency, accountability and integrity in the public and private sectors.
Paris, France - The purpose of this roundtable was to build on the informal links existing between MENA corporate governance centers and institutes of directors and to create a productive ecosystem of these, mostly not-for-profit organisations, with linkages to policymakers, the corporate world and their peers worldwide.
This book presents a study of the corporate governance legal framework and enforcement by capital market regulators in participating Asian jurisdictions.
This report analyses a dataset detailing the size of national state-owned enterprise (SOE) sectors (by number, value and employment) and their composition by sector and corporate forms for 34 countries.
The OECD made the draft text of the revised OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises available for public comment between May and September 2014. The public consultation is now closed.
We are looking for new and interesting thinking on how policy options in the areas of competition, corporate governance, capital markets and financial services, international investment and foreign bribery can have an impact on our well-being as defined by the OECD's Better Life Initiative.

Some musicians like to try new things: rarely-played or unusual pieces, commissioning new works by established or up-and-coming composers, or pairing new works with familiar old ones.
Pianist Jeffrey Biegel likes all of that and more. Not only does he want to perform all of the above himself, but he also wants to perform them with full orchestras — and not just once. He believes new works should be played around the country, and, ultimately, around the world.
Why play a new piece once and put it away for years, he says, when you can present it multiple times to many audiences in a variety of locations?
To prove his point, Biegel's latest project involves eight American orchestras, one in Canada and another in England, all scheduled to play the same piece, starting right here in New Orleans. On Saturday night he will perform the world premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Taffe Zwilich's Shadows for Piano and Orchestra with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, before taking it on the road, so to speak.
It's all part of his very serious belief that orchestras can play a part in global harmony by sharing new works. That sounds great — who could be against global harmony? But few musicians could probably achieve it. Biegel (pronounced like the lovable dog), however, thinks it's possible.
Judging by what he has already achieved, he might actually get there.
"I gave Ellen the title Shadows," he recalled yesterday, the day before the first rehearsal and, in fact, the first time anyone would ever have heard it live with a full orchestra. "Because she said what she wants is for listeners to feel the shadows of the place they are in, no matter where that is."
Biegel believes we are in a time in our history when all of us should be open to possibility.
"I feel we need to explore and not be afraid to go outside our stereotypical music boundaries," he says. "I have this passion to do projects that haven't been done before. It's almost a calling."
Biegel's own family, not surprisingly, is both artistic and musical. His wife teaches piano and his 19-year-old son is in his second year of college, "in an eight-year art and pre-med program," he says. "The younger son is in high school and is a drummer and all involved with math."
Coincidentally, in addition to the piano, Zwilich's premiere features a drum set on stage. Taffe Zwilich "may be strictly a 20th century Juilliard-trained composer," Biegel explains, "but she includes other elements that surround her in her compositions – in this one I hear a little jazz and something that sounds a bit like Native American chanting, among many other sounds — which is why her music is all encompassing."
Now approaching middle age, Biegel says it's time to look to the next generation and their musical expressions, and that's what he's planning for his next marathon multi-orchestra project. He's not ready to reveal exactly what it is. But, clearly, we haven't heard the last of musical global harmony. And that's a good thing.
If you'd like to hear Shadows in its world premiere, it will be performed Saturday, October 29 at 8 p.m. at the Mahalia Jackson Theater in Armstrong Park. For information and to purchase tickets go to www.lpomusic.com or call 504-523-6530.

The deans at two top law schools have admonished the operators of an Internet message board that hosts chats containing personal attacks against female students and racist and homophobic remarks. Letters written by the deans at Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania law schools, were issued after an article in The Washington Post aired the debate over AutoAdmit, a message board that was created as a forum to exchange advice on law schools and firms.The women who were targeted in some chats had complained to the site owners that the commentary was offensive and false, but they received no relief. Cohen and the site's co-owner, Anthony Ciolli, a third-year law student at Penn, defended AutoAdmit as a forum for free speech.In an open letter to the "Yale Law School Community," Dean Harold Koh noted that AutoAdmit contained numerous "false and hurtful assertions" by anonymous posters, and that some included names and personal information of Yale students.

Who won? Who lost? Here are the winners and losers from the Fox Business Republican debate.
Winners and Losers
1). Ted Cruz – Cruz was the one candidate on the debate stage that was able to go successfully toe to toe with Trump. When the great birther blow up finally came in the debate, Cruz was more than prepared by pointing out that by Trump's own standard, he would not be eligible to run for president. The big takeaway that should terrify the Republican establishment is that there was only one candidate who has demonstrated that he can handle Trump. Unfortunately, that candidate is Ted Cruz. Sen. Cruz was big winner tonight who solidified his position as a top two candidate.
2). Donald Trump – Trump might have lost in a head to head with Cruz, but his personality had the audience laughing and on his side. Trump stuck to much of his standard script, and outside of Cruz, nobody could lay a hand on him. The Republican race is clearly between Trump and Cruz with everyone else serving as a distant second.
3). Marco Rubio – Marco Rubio's demented claim that he knows that Obama is coming to take away everyone's guns and get rid of the Second Amendment showed just how low a Republican must go to get primary votes. Rubio was the only establishment candidate who did anything memorable. What he did was memorable because it was insane, but that plays well with Republican primary voters. Rubio will probably end up being the establishment Republican candidate, but he is light years behind Cruz and Trump.
1). Jeb Bush – Bush's debate began with the claim that America was better under his brother than it is under Obama. Bush didn't use a single economic fact to support this claim. The fact that he completely ignored W's record made his answer all the more ridiculous. Jeb Bush doesn't have anything to say as a candidate. He looks like he doesn't want to be there. Bush needed to go after Rubio, but instead, he spent his night floundering. Bush's highlight was calling Rubio and Cruz backbench senators. Jeb Bush doesn't have a reason why he is running for president. He has a pile of super PAC money behind him, but he is the most uninteresting candidate in the GOP field. Unless something dramatic happens, the Bush campaign is DOA.
2). Ben Carson – Carson did nothing outside of telling Republicans that they are doomed unless they stop fighting with each other. Carson predicted the demise of America if Democrats keep the White House because a liberal majority on the Supreme Court will destroy the country. Ben Carson fumbled an ISIS foreign policy question and defended the rich. He is another candidate with a ton of money and no chance of winning.
3). Chris Christie – Chris Christie wants to be the anti-Obama, tough on crime, establishment candidate. His strategy is straight out of 2012. In the year of Trump and Cruz, Chris Christie has no natural constituency. Christie is betting everything on New Hampshire. Once Christie's Granite State gamble fails, it will be back to New Jersey for the failed candidate.
4). John Kasich – Speaking of governors who will soon be heading home. In any other year, a Kasich candidacy might have had appeal. Today's Republican Party does not want white bread establishment candidates like Bush, Christie, and Kasich. Gov. Kasich will soon be back in Ohio because the current Republican Party has little room for anybody who isn't as extreme as Trump and Cruz.

The release of Dishwalla's third album Opaline, their first since 1998's And You Think You Know What Life's About, this week marks more than just a comeback for the band. It is the first time a new music release has hit stores in both CD and DVD Audio formats.
"Day and date" was the mantra of the DVD industry when movies were initially released in that format. The first time a studio put out a film simultaneously on VHS and DVD ("day and date"), it was a big deal, essentially legitimizing the then-upstart technology. No one really talks about "day and date" in home video these days, though, because it's taken for granted that all new titles will come out in both formats at the same time.
In the audio world, Opaline has just answered the "day and date" cry. "We have our own production studios, so we're all familiar with the technology," says John Trickett, chairman of the 5.1 Entertainment Group, which includes Dishwalla's label, Immergent Records. "The band fell in love with it early on. It's the early days, but the format is taking off strongly. We want seminal artists to go out day and date. We feel that DVD Audio is the future."
"I'm a big fan of the format," enthuses Dishwalla singer J.R. Richards, who has a home theater system equipped with surround sound. But he hadn't thought much about recording this release in 5.1. "We were just concentrating on making the record, and we thought DVD would be down the line. "5.1 Records had the studios available to mix [for surround sound]," Richards says, "so we realized this was something we could do pretty easily."
The band recorded simultaneously for both CD and DVD Audio, splitting the signal into different consoles, and then gave the DVD-ready tracks to mixer and engineer Gary Lux. "We didn't get too crazy, throwing stuff all over the place," Richards explains. "We tried to duplicate as well as you can what you hear in stereo. And then we put some things -- maybe a lead guitar or a vocal -- in the center." After Lux had done his mix, the band came in and listened to each song, giving suggestions. "Some songs," Richards says, "we took farther. With some of the cool keyboard sounds or ambient sounds, we had them wrap around your head."
How does he feel about the final products? "Song by song, I like one version or the other better," Richards says. "Some songs are really effective in surround, some are very similar to the stereo." But Richards sees a future filled with DVD Audio. "Stereo is old hat, like mono. Everything will soon be in surround," he says. "[5.1] opens a huge door creatively with all those channels. It can change the whole writing and recording process."
And Richards is enamored not just of the superior audio quality, but also of the opportunity to use the expanded storage space on a DVD to give fans a broader experience of the band. "One of the coolest things about DVD compared to CD," he says, "is that the DVD is not just about the music but about the group -- we can put on other things, like video of us working on the record, or commentary about the writing and recording. We can let people in on who the band is, who the people are, more than just listening to the music."
"It's just the first of many," says Amy Jo Donner, Executive Director of the DVD Entertainment Group, of Dishwalla's day and date release. "There will be more coming." And 5.1 Entertainment and its subsidiaries -- Immergent, Silverline and Electromatrix -- are not the only label coming out with DVD Audio releases. Both majors and independents have already released dozens of DVD Audio discs, from new recordings to catalog material. Robert Fripp's Discipline Global Mobile label just issued a live recording from Bill Bruford (the drummer long associated with King Crimson) and his jazz ensemble, Earthworks. Footloose and Fancy Free is a live two-CD set, and DGM simultaneously released Footloose in NYC, a DVD Audio with concert footage from a different live performance.
Warner Bros. is working on a day and date release for the new Linkin Park at the end of June or in early July, according to Senior Vice President John Beug. And that's really just the beginning. "It will be standard operating procedure in the immediate future," Beug says. More than 32 million DVD players have been sold in the U.S., and more than 2 million homes feature "home theater" setups built around DVD. And the introduction this year of DVD Audio into high-end automobiles is expected to further fuel the demand for recordings mixed to take advantage of the six-channel format.
As for Dishwalla, they may soon help consumers who are looking for more favorites in the new format. "I hope to go back to redo the first two albums in 5.1," says Richards."

When some of Supra's fall 2011 hit the Atlanta boutique Wish at the end of last month, among the releases was the Cuban lowtop with an all-over nautical print. Their chambray uppers appeared grey in those stylized images, but with a more neutral setting and in the context of the two other pairs now alongside, it's clear that each of the members of the Supra Nautical Pack are indeed a soft blue with navy piping and white accents. Along with the Cuban, we get one new Supra Cuttler midtop and the Assault low, and they're available now from select Supra stockists including their own e-store.

Growing up is hard to do. If you're ever around when I'm combining iPod listens with whiskey sips, you'll know I have a love/hate relationship with what's called dad rock, a studied, beautiful yet actually tame blend of indie pop rock that I think is perhaps best identified by the National, who just released their most recent record "Trouble Will Find Me." It's for guys who wear boots but don't actually do anything outdoors. Or wear flannel and jeans like a lumberjack, but can't tell an axe from an asp, or tell a maple from an oak. On its face, it is surely gorgeous music, but a bit staid: As one writer noted, dad rock can be like a dissertation in history and style, delivered less from the gut than the brain. And that's dad in a nutshell, huh? The crazy guy who finally stops jumping off stuff and offers sound financial advice. Sounds great, but dang if it doesn't get boring.
As I've noted, I've been practicing again with my old band, Carrie Nations, which hasn't played together in eight years. Not to say that the music we make is still relevant in any way, but playing with the old dudes relit a fire in my belly, and further clarified the division I find between two eras of my rock tastes. Typing this and listening to the National, which all my friends tell me is just soooo great, feels like retirement, yet it's pleasant and comforting and more befitting office work. When I put on some Black Flag, or something more modern like Gun Outfit, I get a bit inspired, ready to throw this damn keyboard down into the parking lot, grab a 40 ounce and hit the road. But I won't. I'm really in the National camp now, none of this hoorah and anarchy for me anymore.
But, hell, why do we revisit our youth for any other reason than to remind ourselves why and how we've arrived at our present? File me under dad rock, sure, but at least my tiny daughter still dances to the punk albums I throw on the record player every morning.

TEDIOUS, Calif.
This was a parlor game. Funeral parlor.
The atmosphere in Qualcomm Stadium Thursday night was so lively the Chargers cheerleaders wore black, said rosaries and wept. The only way it could have been worse is if they honored Bud Selig.
To practice for this battle this week, Chargers coach Mike McCoy piped in silence.
Oh, the fans tried at times, bless their hearts (even a dreaded wave). But empty seats prevailed.
It wasn't the Chargers' fault. Nor were the Arizona Cardinals, the final exhibition opponent, to blame for this foolishness conjured up by supposedly intelligent individuals.
This maybe, possibly, probably, definitely, was the dumbest NFL game ever scheduled. Served was a football treat mixed with an ocean of vanilla. I'm totally against blackouts, but this one was made for it. They're charging for torture now.
Exhibition games stink, but the last ones of any preseason always are the worst, made for coaches and fringe players still trying to make the final roster. Starters rarely play. No Charger did, except for the kickers. Many second-teamers with a chance to play plenty also sat, for good reason.
These. Games. Do. Not. Matter.
This. Game. Really. Did. Not. Matter.
You see, the Chargers open their regular season Sept. 8 at well, yeah, uh, that's right, at Arizona.
You know me. I like to kid around. But not this time. We can't make this stuff up. Through the magic of NFL scheduling, these two teams will play an authentic game in 11 days.
Under normal August conditions, the exhibition cognoscenti will attest -- I put myself among them, having suffered through scores of these things -- that coaches show next to nothing of what they have planned for legitimate activities. It's the wise thing to do, of course, the huge drawback being it costs authentic-game money to attend.
If you watched the Chargers when Don Coryell coached them, they'd go through an entire preseason without putting anybody in motion. It was baby food-bland, and not much has changed since. Not one coach has been fired over a bad exhibition season, and they simply aren't going to show their hand for no good reason.
And this game was beyond no good reason.
McCoy hadn't shown much of anything through the first three August games, and of course never would even open his bag much for the fourth. But for this one, it was sewn shut. Arizona was going to get nothing out of the Chargers, and the Chargers weren't going to get anything out of Arizona.
San Diego's 53-man roster basically is set, with fight room for but a few, probably at tailback (rookies Marion Grice and Branden Oliver) and swing tackle (Willie Smith and Mike Harris). Of course, 10 practice squad spots will be filled by Saturday's final cutdown.
So, in a way, this game was not fair to the wannabees. They were given more chances than they normally would get, but they also had to play in snowshoes. It's hard to strut your stuff when you're confined to quarters. It's difficult to be all you can be with creativity deliberately stuffed.
Not that good things can't come out of these. We were talking before the game and I said I thought Grice was a better prospect than Oliver, who's not a stiff. I may not know much, but I know something about running backs, who like great center fielders and racehorses, are my favorites.
Grice didn't let me down. He ran hard and very well. He just seems to have it. Some do, some don't. He also has size, 6-feet, 202, can cut and doesn't go down easily.
McCoy even gambled a bit -- something he never would do in the regular season on a fourth-and-one from an opponent's 2-yard line with 0:02 remaining in the first half. Up 9-3, he refused a field goal try and backup quarterback Kellen Clemens' pass was intercepted by corner Jimmy Legree and returned 68 yards to the Chargers' 35. Time had expired, but a horse collar penalty moved the ball to the 20 and a field goal made it 9-6.
Rookie Tevin Reese also returned a punt 14 yards, possibly a team record for this decade.
But I was too bored to look it up.
Final: Chargers 12, Cardinals 9. If you must know. I did look that up.
