    My issue today is that the AB's just weren't competitive. I don't know if Kershaw was that great or the Twins were just inept. We flailed at pitches constantly not close to the strike zone.....never worked a count......and seemed to have absolutely no plan. Frankly, it was embarrassing.

    Thank you Jesus......I literally threw up a little in my mouth when it was posted. LOL

    This must be regarding Fernando Rodney.....not Romero....although i've also wondered about Ol' Mr. Crooked Hat. Thanks!

    Please stay healthy......please stay healthy......

    Yeah....I noticed even in his few appearances so far that his velo had dropped to 93-94. Lots of sliders.
  6. cheeseheadgophfan
    Not defending him (maybe i am) but i think he's looked good at 1B this season.....slimming down has helped.
  7. cheeseheadgophfan
    Why Jax? Why not Minaya who could take over the same role.......
  8. cheeseheadgophfan
    The average starter ERA over the past 2 years is between 4.5 and 4.6. He's our 5th-6th starter. He's signed to an average contract. What do you expect? Not trying to be a dick.

    I've been curious as to whatever happened to Fernando Romero???? He had Visa issues to start spring training for the Twins several years ago and then seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. At one point, he was going to be the next big thing......
  10. cheeseheadgophfan
    You gotta remember.....he'd be a sophomore/junior in high school if he was in the US. He's swinging a wood bat, not the juiced up aluminum/bbcor stuff the high school/college players are using here. Taking that into account, his swing and skills are even more impressive.

    If I was the hitting coach, I'm telling him to hit the ball to right every at bat. That's when he's at his best. He's so physically strong that he's going to hit homeruns to right field on a regular basis. I'm guessing with that approach he'll accidentally run into pitches on the inside part of the plate that he'll crush to left. All that being said, this is it for him here. It's now or never.

    I too believe this will be a filler-type prospect. Any of these options would be a pleasant surprise. I love this trade. I'd take Duran closing games straight up right now in exchange for Rogers. It's not a coincidence that last night Duffey pitched the 7th inning (where he belongs) and Duran closed in a fairly close, but non-save, situation. Paddock, even in a "down" year had an ERA just over 5. Look at some of the other 4th-5th starters around the majors....he stacks up nicely. And don't sleep on Pagan.....he'll end up being a valuable bullpen arm.

    This is ridiculous.....Buxton said the atmosphere is better this year....the writer ran with that and assumed it was in regard to Donaldson. Ahhhhhhh.....you think it's just as likely (or more likely) that the addition of a clubhouse favorite like Gio, combined with the acquisition of a consummate pro like Corea was what he was referring to????? The roster from this year to last year has been overhauled. We're making story of a non-story.
  14. cheeseheadgophfan
    Well.....this didn't age well ?
  15. cheeseheadgophfan
    Yankee players and fans were not pleased with the Gio trade....not because of Donaldson, but because Ushela was known to be a glue guy in that dugout. His teammates loved him and he's amazing in the community. If you've never played the game, you might not know how important the vibe in the dugout is. Not "scapegoating" Donaldson at all (and who knows if Buxton's comments were about him) but Gio is going to provide things that aren't going to show up in stats.
  16. cheeseheadgophfan
    Buxton's start to the season just goes to show that spring training results mean absolutely NOTHING.
  17. cheeseheadgophfan
    Berrios doesn't make it out of the 1st inning in his start with the Blue Jays.....gave up 4 runs.
  18. cheeseheadgophfan
    He hit 94 on the radar gun in the game he pitched for the Dodgers and had a filthy changeup. You gotta wonder if he ever considered switching to pitching.....or at least trying it.
  19. cheeseheadgophfan
    Yesterday he faced 3 major league hitters (Shaw, Bradley jr, and Plawecki. Granted, not murderer's row but he struck out 2 of them and the 3rd batter hit the most feeble half check swing groundball to shortstop to finish the inning. 2 of the 3 were visibly shaking their heads in frustration at seeing that pitch drop in the strike zone while they're keying up for a 100 mph fastball If nothing else, it's going to be fun watching him this season. I'd love it if he became a dominant closer and Rogers could be a set-up man.
  20. cheeseheadgophfan
    Cueto signed a minor league deal with the White Sox today.......
  21. cheeseheadgophfan
    I thought he looked pretty good today for his first outing of the spring. Was hitting 94-95 with his fastball. Seemed like a tight strike zone, but i'm optimistic he'll be an above average starter......
  22. cheeseheadgophfan
    Wynegar looks like he's 12, and Kusick looks like he's playing slowpitch softball in a 35+ beer league...... LOL
  23. cheeseheadgophfan
    Heard an interview on KFAN yesterday with Taylor Rogers and he mentioned something about Alcala being injured....anybody know what that's about?????
  24. cheeseheadgophfan
    Barnes debuted.....it was brief. I think he signed with a team in Japan this offseason.
  25. cheeseheadgophfan
    What would it take to acquire John Means from Baltimore? He just had a contentious arbitration hearing with the O's....they are terrible....want no payroll....and he's under team control for 3 more years (i think?). He's also left handed which this starting staff could definitely use. If we're going to overpay for someone, this is the kind of guy that I'd love to take a shot at. Would Balazovich, Duran and Celestino get it done?
