    Yeah, same here. Duffey pitched well and as jorgen pointed out, his WPA was higher. But actually watching the game, it felt like Thorpe was the one who came in and pitched critical innings against a team that felt like it was unstoppable before he came to the mound. I was cheering Duffey but I was literally pounding the table when Thorpe started sitting down hitters through the seventh and eighth innings.

    MLB’s own site is slightly contradictory on this: “First, a starting pitcher must pitch at least five innings (in a traditional game of nine innings or longer) to qualify for the win. If he does not, the official scorer awards the win to the most effective relief pitcher. There is also a rarely used clause where an official scorer can deem a relief pitcher's appearance "brief and ineffective." My understanding has always been that the scorer can award the W to any relief pitcher if the starter fails to go five innings, they just usually default to the pitcher who followed the starter.

    As it should be. Good job to the scorer.

    Lots of good advice here but I'll add that if it's even remotely possible you can buy a house in a less desirable neighborhood on a 15 year loan, do it. The savings are enormous, especially if you can overpay. I bought my first house at age 34 and had it paid off at age 40. The interest on 30 year loans are crushing, no matter if you overpay or not. The interest starts at roughly 90% of payment, versus a 15 year loan that starts around 70%. And, of course, those loan interest rates drop at twice the rate for a 15 year loan, even faster if you can overpay (even by a few percentage points makes a big difference down the road). As a starter home, you probably don't want to live there forever but having 30% of the principal paid off in a few years is a pretty big deal (and a good way to weather any drop in market prices to prevent going underwater on a home).

    Given the first three innings, that’s nothing short of amazing.

    Newspaper comments sections are their own special kind of hell. It speaks volumes of the the older generations who seem to reside on newspaper websites.

    I literally had to get up and leave after watching every pitch of the game. I can't deal with this anymore. GET BULLPEN HELP ALREADY Rogers had no business being in there against righties who mash lefties as hard as the top of the Yankees lineup.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Just awful luck.

    Without a doubt.

    Trolpo wasn't a troll, he was an artist. I'm ~47% sure that Banksy and Trolpo are the same person.

    Oh crap, I remember you.

    Harper is warmed up. Let it rip. I would have gone Rogers but now that Harper is out there, let's just hold our breath and hope for the best. It's a long season and the team doesn't get a day off for seven more days.

    After the seventh inning, it was hard not to let the kid pitch. And he came through big.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    No, they pulled it down... last year? The year before? And yes, it was a cesspool.

    Lewis Thorpe is all smiles. ATTABOY That was one hell of an audition for a prolonged role in the bullpen down the stretch.

    Not always. All the good posters left the ESPN board when I founded BYTO in 2006.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    And we just found one of those late 90s ESPN posters.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Really? Because out of that forum was borne BYTO, which I founded in 2006. BYTO was folded into Twins Daily in... 2011? 2012? There are still posters on this site from the late 90s ESPN board.

    And then Joe McCarthy ****ing ruined it for everyone.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Over the past 6+ weeks, this team's inability to step on the throat of an opponent when given the chance has been infuriatingly frustrating.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    It sure would be swell to see Miguel step up more often in games of this kind (ie. important).
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh thank god, somebody got the joke.
