    Thanks, forgot about that one. It's only one game and nobody is ready to get out either the tar or the feathers, let alone both. That said, Deduno's misadventures today were basically a lowlight real of pretty much every concern about using him in high-leverage situations.

    Hicksie on pace to equal his 2013 walk total and fall just six shy of his 2013 hit total... by the end of April.
  3. LaBombo
    How about two wild pitches?

    Talking Hair's postgame comment on Correia: "didn't have overpowering stuff". Only two earned today, so imagine how good he'll be when he gets back to his old, overpowering stuff...
  5. LaBombo
    Interesting beginning to the Deduno bullpen saga... Never thought I'd say this, even about Deduno, but calling that a wild pitch was generous. Other than the point of origin, there wasn't really anything pitch-like about it.
  6. LaBombo
    He will eventually, but after what happened last year and with the start he's off to, they better leave him alone for now.
  7. LaBombo
    Plouffesie didn't quite have the distance there.
  8. LaBombo
    Cola.
  9. LaBombo
    How long is that extension again?
  10. LaBombo
    Now we know why Cappsie was throwing right-handed. His left looks pretty bad. Black Sox scorer rewards routine grounder with a hit.
  11. LaBombo
    Always good to get that first blown save out of the way early to avoid needless chatter about a perfect season.
  12. LaBombo
    Who's wearing Perk's uniform today?
  13. LaBombo
    He not only struck out, he managed to look like a fan who won the 'take a major league at bat' drawing in doing so. Brutal.
  14. LaBombo
    .800 OBP for Hicksie today.

    Bunting to move a runner already in scoring position over when you need three runs is probably not a good use of one of only six remaining outs. But I completely agree with your second theory about making a move for the sake of making a move, and it's definitely not just Gardy. Time and again it seems managers will call for a sac or steal when the out is more valuable, bring in a pinch runner or hitter who is only a tiny bit better, or make a pitching change that gives the platoon advantage yet is a net wash. Why? Out of the perfectly understandable desire to 'do something'. The feeling is that if you're not making moves, you're not really managing, you're just watching the game from a really awesome seat. Nothing could be further from the truth, but it's easy to see how it can happen.

    There are those here who believe that, 'bad fan' syndrome aside, there is something crazy about believing that the Twins could lose nearly 100 games again, yet massive improvement and finishing near .500 is easily within reach. So the point was that projecting the Twins to be reeeally bad is no more outside the mainstream media's extremes than picking them to finish around .500 and hang around contention for the wildcard til mid-summer.
  17. LaBombo
    Yup. And since Florimon's big weapon is the bunt, might as well let him move the slow guys over and let Hicks potentially lead off an inning ahead of the top of the order instead of in front of Florimon.
  18. LaBombo
    De Aza already a 1 WAR player if he were in a Twins uniform, even if he didn't play for them.
  19. LaBombo
    Trajectory was too high...

    Stagecraft? aka: http://cmofosho.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/jon-lovitz-acting.jpg

    Freudian slap? We might need more than a couple of rubs to make this season fun.

    Yeah, forgot about the Florimon and Willingham catcher earlier.
  24. LaBombo
    "author" LaBombo. Heh. Just like how that time in flight school that my instructor asked me what F@#$ I was thinking made me an 'aviation consultant'...
  25. LaBombo
    Hicks still bringing a little suspense to routine fly balls sometimes. If he hits like today, he can change direction 3 times on every out and I won't care.
