[operation mindcrime]

My optimism is starting to fade, someone help me out

We've got this!

[snepp]

 

Do we have a position player that can throw?

 

Chris Gimenez is available, no?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So what was that about a homemade cheesecake for desert?

 

I didn't think deserts ate...

[mudcat14]

Sick of a bullpen where the majority are afraid to throw strikes!

[Pius Jefferson]

This game is a laugh riot. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We've got this!

Concur.

[Aggies7]

White Sox (4), marlins (3) and royals (3) after tomorrow. I have to think 7 wins is the minimum needed to retain first place. We’ve passed the point of being able to drop games to bad teams

[USAFChief]

 

Now that the bullpen is taxed, does Staskak or Thorpe get sent down? You know, the two guys who are most responsible for the taxing.

Fake an injury and get Littell back. 

 

Another guy who the front office wants to pose as a MLB reliever.

It seems like anytime they did throw a strike it was hammered.  Pen is bad, but man the Yankees have a damn good lineup.

[TribeAZ13]

wonder if Sano realizes if he swings his chance of putting the ball in play go up significantly

[Aggies7]

Could have clinched a season split with a win tonight.

[MNT1996]

9th place hitter in the 9th: 0-2 count 2 outs.

 

Twins hitters in the 9th: Bases loaded 0 outs only scored 1 run.

 

Rough.

[Riverbrian]

Yeah the Twins pen should be more like the Yankees pen.

Minus Giancarlo....

I think he figured that out in his previous AB

[tvagle]

Unscheduled DH for Wednesday July 24th...or just another way for the Pohlads to double their money?

 

[Danchat]

 

it sounds insanse, but i wonder what u guys would give us for Hand.... seriously... he has 2 years of control still and is top 3-4 in baseball...i think indians can afford to drop him if kluber and salazar are anywhere close to themselves...   

Yes, it sounds completely insane. Why would Cleveland "drop" their all-star closer because two of their starting pitchers are getting healthy?!

[USAFChief]

You wouldn't trade the Yankee pen for the Twins pen???

I actually liked Littell.

[snotboogie]

This has been a too many beer game. For a number of reasons.

[TribeAZ13]

indeed, lol...indeed

[MNT1996]

Stashak was our best reliever...It was his major league debut

[Aggies7]

It was 0-2 with 2 outs on tauchman in the 9th, I just read that post, I’d forgotten. Man.

[PseudoSABR]

Will limited mound visits be consequential?!  That story at midnight!

[Aggies7]

I actually liked Littell.

He’s been better than most of the others

[SwainZag]

The ump....jfc....

[snepp]

Which time zone?

[TribeAZ13]

 

Yes, it sounds completely insane. Why would Cleveland "drop" their all-star closer because two of their starting pitchers are getting healthy?!

bc salazar is not a starter, first of all, second, we have so much depth pitching its silly... we are missing a 2 time cy young winner and a guy who has finished top 5 last three yrs in carassco..  now we have plesac and civale who are studs and only so much to go around...and twins would take Hand in a heartbeat if it presented itself....

[PseudoSABR]

 

Which time zone?

Yes.

[Aggies7]

Great at bat for the real king, arraez
