    Sure. Send him out. Two-run lead, different story entirely. As always, depends on the analysis my pitching coach gives me, but yes. Wait until someone gets on to warm anybody up. / Edit: my leash is longer than UR's, but it's not unlimited. As before, "don't let him lose" is a good rule of thumb, so I don't want to take him out this inning unless there are 2 baserunners. / Edit^2: and the leash is one baserunner longer if we get that insurance run. Darinsie, gotta get a flyball there.

    Crap.

    Congratulations on 2000 good posts. Folks, for the record, I taught Riverbrian everything he knows about baseball. Not everything *I* know, of course. But everything *he* knows.

    What's the deal with this Jimenez guy playing third for the Angels? He's hit at every level he's been, with power and average, but it took him until age 25 to reach the majors, due to a bad glove? I hope that's not what we have to look forward to with Sano.

    Plouffsie! But Arcia's in a slump. Better send him down.

    Goes faster if you forget about order entirely.

    OK, three innings in, NOW it is safe to say things are shaping up that way.
  8. ashbury
    Still, you got that 2 balls would go out (so far), you just picked the wrong sluggers, instead of Bourjos (23 lifetime HR now) and Harris (30). And your guys may still come through.
  9. ashbury
    Good call. Within experimental error, at least.

    A horse went into a bar and the bartender asked, “Hey buddy, why the long face?” “Correia’s pitching to Harris,” the horse replied. (Stolen from Riverbrian)

    Oswaldo Arcia at this writing is 1-1 with a single, in his debut. Can someone help me with the math to determine how many HR he will hit in his career, based on this?
  13. ashbury
    Is anyone posting to the Fun With Numbers thread to extrapolate on Oswaldo's future?
  14. ashbury
    Small sample size. Get back to us after the third inning and we'll look at it again.

    Lemme guess, your uncle died in a skydiving accident. My apologies. If only I could find that delete button...

    A man went skydiving for the first time, and after five seconds in the air he pulled the ripcord. Nothing happened. He tried again. Still nothing. He started to panic, but remembered his backup chute and pulled that cord. Nothing happened. Suddenly, he looked down and saw a man going up! Just as the other guy passed by, the skydiver yelled, “Hey, do you know anything about skydiving?” The other guy yelled back, “Heck no! Do you know anything about catching fly balls hit off of Kevin Correia?”

    Hm, you might enjoy from the 50's. / ObFunWithNumbers: Twins are on a pace for 4 wins in 2013, if they don't win any more.

    And it took, what, 7 more days, but now it must be said (and I won't bother opening a new thread for such triviality): Your last place Minnesota Twins. Sole possession, even!

    RB, it's even more than you say: had the Twins hung onto him, arbitration would likely have given him a series of escalating contracts, whereas after being cut he had very little salary leverage. And yet these other teams cut a nearly no-cost commodity. If the Twins were dumb, these two teams were even dumber. (A movie parody suggests itself here.) The only counter-argument I can see is that these decisions to cut him weren't by teams with a track record of great talent evaluation. Had the Cardinals or Giants cut him, then it would be fair to say 'who knew?'. OTOH, the counter-counter argument is that neither of the Cardinals or Giants have chosen to take a flyer on the enigma called Kevin Slowey, so maybe that says something as well. /edit: Spycake correctly pointed out that the next two teams were on the same hook for salary as the Twins would have been. So if Slowey turns out to be the next Cy Young winner, the Rox and Tribe will have been exactly as dumb as the Twins, not dumber. Saying that here, rather than add to the thread length.

    The Twins bats really need to get well, and if they can't against Joe Blanton who is off to a rough start this year then I dunno... Plus, since I was less than lukewarm on the Twins making Blanton an offer in the off-season, I definitely am rooting for an offensive breakout for the Twins today.

    In other news, 26-year-old Daniel Turpen has given up 7 earned runs in 4 relief appearances for Rochester. "Great trade. Who'd we get?"
  23. ashbury
    Maybe he was all right when drinking, but a mean sober.
  24. ashbury
    FWIW I've got my KC Sunshine avatar up, expressly for Correia.

    What you're describing is one of the oldest philosophical problems known to man: the Resistible Force versus the Movable Object.
