  1. I guess if it's for an Andrew Bechtold or something like that. Now Kirilloff is hurt, and it seems the Twins may be the ones unloading. I'd trade Robles for a Zippo that could be used to LIGHT A FIRE UNDER SOMEONE'S A$$!
  2. If you are going with Brandon Waddell in the 10th inning of a tie game that you really need to win while playing catchup to just .500 baseball, here are some names that would be more interesting and are old enough that you don't have to worry about the "years of control" or "available options". Jovani Moran Tom Hackimer Ryan Mason
  3. Not to mention that with Thorpe going today, Happ may be pushed back an extra day anyway.
  4. Because the Dodger/Yankee-type local TV deals aren't a thing here in the Land O' Lakes? I guess that's only a reason for cheap. I have nothing for stupid.
  5. I don't know about getting aggressive at 11-17. At some point, Happ will have to pitch against an actual offense, and he's going to get shelled. Maeda smoked and mirrored his way to not even a quality start. We know Berrios will be terrible after the AS break. Shoemaker is toast. And, last but not least, Big Mike isn't going to be a 30 start guy. I won't be surprised if this team gets swept in Chicago next week, then, hopefully, reality will set in. Now it looks like Kirilloff may be headed for the IL. May be time for a blow-up.
  6. For a team just trying to get back into it, 5-2 seems to be a must this week. That means winning all the Berrios, Pineda and Happ starts and somehow squeezing a win out of Maeda or Shoemaker. I'd bring Thorpe up tomorrow and be ready for a quick hook on Maeda, if he keeps getting shelled.
  7. It's way too early for this assessment. Especially considering that he's already had a four hit game this season and those all came from the left side. Just the improvement from the first 10 games until present shows that he's coming around. I think he'll be back to his .270/.330/.420 self by mid-May.
  8. I don't think Detroit is a pretender. Their record reflects the consensus thought on what type of season they would have. We'll get a good idea of the Kansas City situation this weekend. Duffy and Singer have been pretty good so far. Singer is a talent and could be figuring it out. Duffy is probably more likely to be in a hot stretch, but perhaps he will have a career year. Until yesterday, the Twins weren't exactly pegging lefties, so the question of pretender should be on full display Saturday.
  9. Ahhh ... Waking up to being a fan of officially the worst team in MLB with a nice .318 winning percentage. According to Dick and Roy, it's only April, that one cutter that Colome threw to Roberto Perez looked pretty good and the Nationals were 19-31 in 2019, so it's all good. Bwahahaha!!
  10. Well, time to lower the bar. Unless this is the worst team of all time, they should win at least 50 more games. I'll just expect them to lose every game and be pleasantly surprised 35% of the time.
  11. So, Arraez, Cave and Rooker will roam the outfield tonight ... Need Berrios to K 12 in 6 again.
  12. So our favorite Nick Gordon moment can only be that time the camera panned to him in the dugout.
  13. I expect 13-7 in the next 20 games or Baldelli's head.
  14. Will you follow the Saints?
  15. Kirilloff should have a real opportunity here and should be given some rope. I'm not sure where the opportunity is for Gordon past this weekend. Arraez has the best PAs on the team, Simmons is a wizard at short and was hitting, and Polanco appears to be turning the corner (325 OBP the last 10 games).
  16. Except that he chose to take a superior defender out of the game ... Usually, you want to get your superior defenders into the game late.
  17. Blankenhorn looks expendable. You need zero skill to stand on second and trot home after a homer and then cough up a routine grounder.
  18. Baldelli: "Yes, he was unable." Lasorda: "What? That's nothin' but a flesh wound, Nellie! Get out there and win us a game!
  19. Except that it hasn't worked, and players still miss time.
  20. Fire Baldelli!! Donaldson's contract and Buxton's emergence are being wasted. Donaldson isn't a slug, and Cruz doesn't play the field. Both substitutions were only done because Baldelli promotes thumb sucking and blankets.
  21. I would be OK with this, as long as said young bat can actually play RF. Rooker looked like less than a polished turd out there in Game 2 and was definitely instrumental in the loss. He also looked silly on Morelands first homer in Game 1. "Oh, there's a wall there?"
  22. After that Arroyo double, I thought you had this in the bag. My hope is that hit knocked the last bit of gunk off the flint in Colome's a$$-lighter, because he came back with back-to-back K's after that.
  23. What are those things? Coddling players? Weighing in on off-the-field nonsense? Great post, except for that sentence.
