    Bert referring to something called the "balance point". I'm not familiar with the concept. Has he ever discussed that on a broadcast before?

    Dicknbert talking about game(s) taking place on Monday. Could be one, could be two, could be three. The Pirates and Marlins have a makeup game scheduled in Pittsburgh. For some reason that I'm not sure of. BTW, I'll air one of my pet peeves I read and hear all over. In MLB, the term playoff is reserved for the regular season game(s) needed beyond game 162 in order to determine which team(s) advance(s) in which capacity. The postseason, not the playoffs, is the term for the games played by the ten teams playing for the World Championship.

    This is baseball. I can't answer the same way I did in the 8th inning last night or it would jinx us.

    This is BP. Don't the Whities have any other pitchers they want to audition?

    When I saw the title for this game thread I thought it was for Saturday's game because that game does indeed start at 7:10 PM EDT, 9/29/2018 AD. And then I noticed the star indicating I has posted to the thread so I knew something was amiss. Obviously I didn't notice last night that the title was inaccurate.

    Yeah, I think so.

    I hated this pun, which is the highest compliment.

    So I was busy doing other stuff on the computer when the second base umpire ****ed up the call in the should-have-been-a-triple-play. If he had done it right, he would have determined that the shortstop was not on the base when he caught the ball and should have made no out call. Nor should he have made a safe call because the runner who began the play at second base still has to get back to the base. There's no call to make because at that point no play has been made. It's the same deal as a play at home plate where the runner doesn't touch the plate and the catcher doesn't make the tag. There's no play until one of those two things happens. Instead we go through a messy review where a runner who had left the field of play gets placed back on second base. I guess even the best umpires make mistakes sometimes.

    Blyleven talking about his hitting stats: He batted .131 with 59 hits including 7 doubles. 25 RBI, which seems pretty good for someone with no triples or home runs.

    Should NOT be a base hit. The throw went past the first baseman before the batter-runner got to the base. 2-base E-1.

    Strike two to Goodrum was about the worst pitch ever swung at by a major leaguer.

    Just depends on whether he feels it's worth the 2-3 million bucks that will certainly be offered by someone. I know he's well-situated financially but geez, 3 million dollars? I'd find it hard to turn that down.

    When you're playing a team that is still contending for a postseason berth you have to manage to win. Auditions resume tomorrow.
  14. Nine of twelve
    Very nice win. We actually outscored the A's in the series. Glad to see we played them tough.
  15. Nine of twelve
    Molitor knows the Twins need to try to win this game because of the fact that the A's have not yet clinched the postseason. Otherwise he wouldn't be running Gibson out for the 8th.

    It's always a bit of a melancholy feeling when the Twins' season ends. But one thing I'm really looking forward to is that after 8 days from now I'll probably never again hear Marney say "Pizza Ranch for the win!"

    Draft only good players, develop them to their fullest,and sign them to team-friendly long-term contracts just before they blossom. Simple, but not easy. And not likely to succeed.
  19. Nine of twelve
    This summarizes it. Trade any player(s), ANY player(s), if the value received is greater than the value of the player(s).
  20. Nine of twelve
    Players have to undergo physicals for a trade to go through. If the arm is a time bomb the other team's doctors will also find that out and the trade would be nixed.

    Sorry, but I think this statement is out of line unless you have all the medical information and knowledge needed to know what is necessary and what is unnecessary. We need Heezy to chime in.
  22. Nine of twelve
    That's true to some extent, but no organization has a AAA team with a roster full of major-league-ready players. First of all, there just aren't enough players of that caliber in existence. And, among other things, that's what the rule 5 draft is all about.

    There are also pills for a lack of pission.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Really? Wow! And you know what else I heard? I heard Joe Mauer is from St. Paul. Who knew?

    Ned Yost with a peeved look on his face after his pitcher walks Astudillo on 4 pitches. I'd be peeved too.
