    And the pitcher absorbs it statistically. It really isn't fair to the pitcher... They negotiate contracts with metrics as well. In this case Nolasco deserves it... But in most cases... Pitchers ERA takes a beating because the RF and 2B can't decide who is going to catch a ball. All the arguing over Darvish and that ball in the 7th inning. It has long been established that it wasn't an error... But everybody knows it's an error... Of course it's an error. The scoring system needs to be redone.

    Myself... I feel that Boots happen... Do they happen to Mauer more than average... It seems so. But regardless.... Boots happen. Boots happen... But... Standing on the mound and watching it happen when you've been taught since high school to cover 1st on balls to the 1st base side. That's not a boot... That's not trying. That checking out of the ball game and going on auto pilot and it's why we are behind. Mauer tried... Nolasco did not... If I'm a manager... I know who I'm talking to.

    I agree with you as well... The interpretations of errors at the MLB level are goofy and can't be explained. However... Mauer did knock it down and if Nolasco does his job... It's an out and no error. It's only possibly considered a Mauer error because his teammate didn't support him.
  4. Riverbrian
    I agree... He/it really hasn't.
  5. Riverbrian
    He was done with me after he didn't cover first.
  6. Riverbrian
    No doubt... But I'm more concerned about the mind set of Nolasco... Grounder to 1st... He'll field it clean... I'm not engaged right now... I don't have to cover because I'm not thinking about covering. You start playing baseball that way... Look what happens.
  7. Riverbrian
    OMG... When we lose today... We will know why?
  8. Riverbrian
    Nolasco and the Twins are starting to lull.
  9. Riverbrian
    Yep... And it's on Nolasco
  10. Riverbrian
    He put them in his pocket... I had to wait until the game was over to ask for them back... So I could drive home legally.
  11. Riverbrian
    Yeah... Some... I'm not completely comfortable yet. Perhaps... I should get a butt chewing... Keep me from getting comfortable.
  12. Riverbrian
    Big K
  13. Riverbrian
    I haven't seen him play but eagerly await watching him.
  14. Riverbrian
    I think it should be Vargas
  15. Riverbrian
    I think I actually threw my glasses at an ump once.
  16. Riverbrian
    Yeah we could use another SS... So yeah... Watch them do it. Looking at the 40 man. My guess is its Herrmann or dare I say Vargas. Vargas makes the most sense because Gardy is going to want pinch hitting options for the pitcher spot.
  17. Riverbrian
    Plouffe picking up Mauer... Mauer should slide Trevor some cash under the table.
  18. Riverbrian
    Thank You... From my years of experience coaching... I instinctively know when to charge out of the dugout.
  19. Riverbrian
    Gardy and Antony both said pre-game that they are going down to 12 pitchers for San Diego. A roster move will be made after the game and it will not be: Arcia... Hammer... Fuld or Jennifer Lawrence. So it's any ones guess.
  20. Riverbrian
    Chief survives them things all the time.
  21. Riverbrian
    You know... They really are a nice shade of yellow.
  22. Riverbrian
    Santana was safe
  23. Riverbrian
    Water Shortage?
  24. Riverbrian
    So it's like 8 minutes to first pitch... I sit down on the couch and turn the TV on... Immediately my wife comes in the room and says: Wife: Did you notice those Dandelions in the backyard? Me: Yes... They are coming in strong. (long pause of silence) Me: Yeah... I suppose I should get after them
  25. Riverbrian
    Well it stretched 4 to the negative and that ragged it a bit... I think 6 to the positive and it snaps... And we are buying WS tickets!!!
