    ARRRRGHHHHH. I swear to god the White Sox have 14 fielders out there tonight.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    His fastball has been pinpoint more often than not. He's pitching very well.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep across the board. I'm actually feeling very good about Gibson's start tonight, aside from grooving a single pitch to a slugger after getting singled to death (hard to bitch too much about a bunch of soft singles, as that's just baseball sometimes).
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    I get the nagging feeling the Twins are just going to get unlucked into a loss tonight.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    The recommended temp for energy efficiency is turning off your A/C unit entirely. Now that we've agreed no one will do that, this study is pointless.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    I'd strongly consider starting Smeltzer during one of the Tigers games to give everyone an extra day on top of the off-days. And if he does well, maybe throw him out there a few more times in September. No reason not to use six starters if you have the firepower to do it with an expanded roster.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    He'll be starting somewhere on the field, for sure, which means he can't come off the bench.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    I only endorse this if the entire stadium does the wave while singing it.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Ahhh, there you go. So I was right, I simply didn't notice a rules change.

    Different cities have different demographics. For example, the Twin Cities have abysmal cable subscription rates, which will *always* hurt the Twins under the current television contract model. That's not the fault of the team, that's just how things play out in the metro. I suspect Tampa has similar issues, only exaggerated because of the transient nature of many Florida residents. It's pretty hard to pin that on the team. Miami has a new urban stadium and they're *averaging* 10k fans a game in a much larger metro than the Twin Cities. Despite a half-decade of futility, the Twins never dropped below 20k. We shouldn't write off the fact that the Florida teams rank 29th and 30th in attendance because of the location of Tampa's stadium (which is awful, I agree, but it doesn't have to be a binary problem; lots of things are in play here, many of them outside the teams' scope of influence).

    Which is why I don't believe 162 game paces are useful. 150 game paces? Sure, okay.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Good to know, thanks. I thought anyone not on the 25-man at the end of August had to be an injury replacement of some kind. I didn't know all it required was a 40-man spot.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    I think they have something in Ft Myers but I’m not sure.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    The Rays are also last in TV revenue. Tampa is the problem.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Buxton hasn’t even announced when he’ll rehab. The likelihood of him being back before September is pretty small, I think.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't care about the regular season but I kinda want Astudillo on the postseason roster for flexibility at catcher and the value of having a guy on the bench close and late when you absolutely need contact.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    It makes more sense to give him a break in September, as you can fill in with Thorpe, Smeltzer, or whomever and not worry about fiddling with the roster. And no need for the IL in September.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    The Rays are truly an amazing organization. They deserve better than Tampa.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Chicago isn't awful so that might be asking a bit much. 9-4 sounds good to me. 8-5 will enter dangerous territory. They need to win two out of three games for the next couple of weeks.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Astudillo won't be back before September because there's no space for him on the roster.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Go back and watch the Texas catcher. He was literally jumping out from behind the plate time and time again. The pitcher isn't going to get a strike call when the catcher is jumping around, and if the catcher is moving the glove around erratically, then the same applies. That's just how baseball works.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    I think this is a very real thing. Getting players amped and under pressure for a month or two puts them in the mindset of what is needed for the postseason. But it would have been maybe something more substantial had the Twins not kinda crapped all over the bed against their closest opponent a week ago.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I'd be surprised if they're September call-ups. While you can play the injury shuffle and get a player into the postseason who was a September call-up, I think one of Graterol and Alcala will be up in August to avoid difficulty if the Twins *also* want to put a guy like Astudillo on the postseason roster (though unlikely). I don't think both pitchers make the August roster, there's just not enough room and the bullpen is pretty solid right now, but there's certainly room to squeak one of them on by August 30th.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Actually, I'm rather unconcerned with the pen at this point. With Dyson back in the mix, Rogers should get plenty of breathers (and his load has been pretty light for the past week+). My biggest questions going forward are: 1. Buxton? Will he be here in September and will he be the 2019 Buxton? 2. Berrios, Gibson, Odorizzi. What version will we get and is there anything Baldelli can do to relieve them a bit to make sure they're good going into October? Sure, it's possible the Twins don't make October and that'd be a travesty. But the AL is pretty fierce this season. I'm only wondering if there's a way to start easing up on some of the starters who either haven't missed a start or have barely missed time and still remain competitive.

    I suspect this is only me because of some of the settings I have and the permissions I have with the server but I just want to make sure it's isolated to me, as it has been happening for a week but only on specific devices and only on my personal network. Again, the error seems specific to Chrome and it's: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN (and before anyone chimes in, I already know the solution on a personal level, I just want to make sure it's not widespread)
