  1. I have little faith in Duffey but it’s aberrant for a team like the Reds to see five pitches, put four balls in play, and all to fall for hits. I don’t think he’ll be a marquee arm in the pen but I’m not going to toss him out after one terrible appearance.
  2. I was fine with keeping Hughes during the messy part of the schedule where rain/snow outs and off days were a given. That part of the schedule is now past and Hughes looks like the guy we’ve seen the past two years. Move on.
  3. Yeah. It’s painful to watch Rodney pitch but he’s had some horse**** luck to go along with that pain. Three outings ago, he got the ball he wanted. It bounced off the mound. Two outing ago, Sano makes an errant throw and then a swinging bunt puts two men on base. No excuse for the homer ball to Sanchez but things out of Rodney’s control turned that solo shot into a game-winning shot. His outings have been ugly but not nearly as bad as his line looks thus far.
  4. Just checked in on the game and.... lol. Berrios, Lynn, Odorizzi, all fail horribly. KYLE GIBSON TO THE RESCUE
  5. It'd be real nice if somebody on this team decided not to crap the bed against the Yankees.
  6. Dunno. This is a team that previously took two of three from the reigning World Series champs and split a series against Cleveland. It's a rough patch but probably just that... a rough patch for a team that is likely to finish with a win total somewhere in the 80s.
  7. I followed this game for 2-3 innings and checked out because I just knew it was going to get ugly. Woke up this morning and SHOCK, it turned ugly.
  8. What the holy **** is wrong with people?
  9. Uh... Dozier. A guy they already had under control so that makes it less amazing. So... Santana, maybe? But that's more of a "very good" contract than a "great" contract.
  10. Which is pretty damning when you're facing the might Tampa Bay Rays' offense.
  11. I was looking at Hughes' velocity in GameDay and it looked a tick faster than what we saw last year (88-90mph last year, more like 90-91 this year). But I assume he still looked pretty bad. What are everyone's thoughts?
  12. Definitely. IIRC, I wasn't super excited about the extension but generally liked it. I was super excited at the original signing.
  13. I checked in on my phone and saw it was the second inning with a 2-0 score. I assumed that would be the high point of the game. Glad I was wrong.
  14. Dunno. The Rays aren’t exactly a powerhouse. The Twins probably lose with Hughes on the mound but it’s not a given.
  15. Why on earth would the Twins need a fifth starter on Sunday? They had an off day yesterday. Although, to be fair, maybe you start Hughes on Sunday against the Rays instead of virtually guaranteeing yourself a loss against the Yankees with him on the mound.
  16. Except your .040 BABIP doesn't explain the .150 OPS drop from 2013 to 2014. Using Joe's 2013 season, normalizing his BABIP from .380 to .340 is a difference of only 15 hits over the course of a season. But to get his OPS to drop 150 points, you need to remove 25 doubles from his 2013 season. That's 50 bases removed to see a 150 point drop in OPS. Joe's 2013 season would have gone from 35 doubles all the way down to just 10. Not only do you need more than 15 hits to get a drop that large, you need every one of those hits to count for extra bases, which we know just isn't a reality in the game. Your BABIP argument doesn't add up. A .040 swing in BABIP just isn't that much and, sure, it'll take a decent chunk out of a player's OPS season-over-season but nothing even close to 150 points. Something more like .075 of OPS at the upper end of the spectrum.
  17. Watching the game after listening last night. Man, I *really* dislike Molitor’s decision to remove Berrios.
  18. My exact thoughts. Francona has managin' to do!
  19. I ran this through a probability simulator and it gave me an estimated completion time of 2,549 hours because neither is going to happen, ever.
  20. No reason not to do it when the following hitter is so much less dangerous.
  21. Listening to Provus and damn, he's a good announcer. I hope he sticks around forever.
  22. Is he? I can't keep track of this early season nonsense anymore.
  23. Rest. I hope that Garver gets a lot more action later in the season but right now, there's no reason to replace your starter with a backup.
