    Thanks!

    I'm thinking of forward actually. When pitchers are dinged up, they don't pitch like they are able to. I've seen him pitch in Japan and when he's comfortable, he can completely dominate (very similar to Darvish, who is now finally healthy and mowing everyone down, but Kikuchi doesn't have his own museum yet, so maybe we should hold off). I also like Yamaguchi, but I doubt the Blue Jays are ready to jettison him. He's starting to pitch the way I imagined he would. (Yamaguchi is designated as long-relief, which is weird because in Japan, he had been converted into a starter and now he's back to relief, but he is a horse. I watched one game where he threw over 140 pitches and another where he threw over 130. He throws everything but the kitchen sink to hitters and spots his fastball now and then. Eventually, he'll probably end up as a starter, I would guess.) I guess I'm always in the tank for Japanese players.

    I'll bet we could get Kikuchi from the Mariners. Sure his ERA is not very good but he's started showing flashes of his days in Japan. I think he's finally healthy too. (He can bring it at 98 for those of you who are wondering.)

    I don't get two things: 1) sacrificing a game today to win one tomorrow (I will take Little Orphan Annie to task if I have to) & 2) considering who will pitch the 6th when Hill had thrown what, 73/74 pitches? Why not let Hill come out for the 6th? He struck out the side in the 5th, so it wasn't like he was losing it. Let him go toe-to-toe with Bieber.

    Whenever someone says Cave and below average defense in the same sentence, I see him making a great catch in the top 50 plays in the MLB. (This is like the 3rd time.) We see new version of the top 50 every week here in Japan. Cave's play was actually in the top 10 I believe. He robbed someone of a HR. (We are always on a bit of a delay over here so that probably happened a couple of weeks back?) I think it is ironic that's all.

    Superb analysis as always. I think it messes up a lot of things. It was great having the side-by-side video (TYVM). I noticed that last year he was able to plant his front foot a nanosecond longer before it turns over. I would think that the longer his front foot remains planted the more power he can generate...but that is just my guess.

    It's a win and it goes in the "W" column, but these are the Royals so... Concerning Rogers. Shaky again. This has not been a one-off that pops up, which happens to most closers. This is like the fourth or fifth straight time that he hasn't had shutdown stuff. It's not like he has been facing Murderers Row either, and, fortunately for him, this fact may have contributed to his escape as the Royals are a few years away from being a good team. Once we start facing some tougher lineups, things will get that much more difficult. Time for a change. I'd go with Romo as I prefer Duffey in those high leverage situations that arise prior to the ninth.
  8. Aerodeliria
    Totally concur here. We were in a fix for hitting by using those pinch runners and substitutions in the field.
  9. Aerodeliria
    I agree with a couple of previous posters. Rogers' stuff looks completely hittable. His fastball doesn't seem to be moving very much and his slider/curve selections are just laying there. He was fortunate to escape the inning with only three runs despite the misplay in the field.

    I get to watch highlights on TV today thanks to Maeda ;-)
  11. Aerodeliria
    More like a 10K this year.
  12. Aerodeliria
    Is this a re-post article from spring 2019? Just checking ;-)
  13. Aerodeliria
    Some people don't, but I loved that place. I saw Puckett's first home run.
  14. Aerodeliria
    These are walk offs, but there have been some mighty big non-walk offs as well, such as Dozier's come-from-behind three run blast against the Indians in 2017 in late September in Cleveland to give the Twins some breathing room in the wild card chase.
  15. Aerodeliria
    This was great fun to watch. The host didn't really know how to engage the players when they were sitting next to him, which I found very amusing. A: He hit that one hard, didn't he Willie? W: Yes, he did. A: That was an out in our game, but if it were a real game that would have been a double. W: Yes, it would have.

    I never figured out why everyone hated Limitless so much. I am still awaiting the comeback season...
  17. Aerodeliria
    Very nice reading. After reading about Miranda, you start pulling for the guy.
  18. Aerodeliria
    I am hoping for the best and many televised games to boot!

    I' really not saying this to irritate anyone but, every argument extolling the virtues of Buxton inevitably includes (in one way or another) this caveat, "If Buxton can stay healthy..." I (really do) hope I'm wrong, but the only fastballs he may be hammering will be on Play Station 4...('Wait, do players get injured in the latest version of RBI Baseball 19? I'm might have to change my statement.')
  20. Aerodeliria
    Good stuff. Thank you very much!
  21. Aerodeliria
    I always thought he had to be moved to first base. He was just a bit too slow to react at 3rd and his range was more like a stove. The good thing is that he is that by playing third, he is used to all kinds of bad hops and that should make a transition to 1st easier and hopefully, he can snag some of those errant throws late in games (these seemed to have dogged the Twins over the past couple of years). Great article!

    Frankly, I don't like this rule as it affects baseball strategy at the core. I was really surprised it won the day; I assumed that the pitch timer would be instilled, which is something I think anyone could live with. I hope there are mega-complaints about the rule following this season...
  23. Aerodeliria
    The Twins are going to need a bigger nap room soon.
  24. Aerodeliria
    From my point-of-view, I am very happy to have Mr. Front-field (meaning of his Chinese characters) as they will most certainly televise some of his games here, and if we ever get a Tanaka (Mr. Field-middle) vs. Maeda match-up, it will be the game of the year here.

    Deborah Koons is still getting Dead money ;-)
