    Came here to post along these lines. It's hard reading (MLB doesn't hire the clearest of writers), but really necessary in order to speak definitively. I think people were looking at a Wikipedia page, where some misinformation exists.

    I hope no players suffer chronic pain that never entirely resolves (Wikipedia's telling) due to our series with them.

    And Cleveland's remains: (Daddy Wags - Leon Wagner 1964-68)

    Schoop never comes through.

    Conversely, 0-2 doesn't usually end well for the batter, so the ump's call just put Cron out of his misery a little earlier, is all.

    Umpires who reward the pitcher for hitting where the catcher set up, rather than if the ball crosses the strike zone, irritate me no end.
  7. ashbury
    Well then we might be in trouble, if October arrives, because you run into a lot greater proportion of that.

    And double dumbass on Eddie. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OcC1f1jqCPI/hqdefault.jpg (Nah, I'm not that upset with Eddie. But I really hope he thought that was going to be a strike, because of the situation.)

    Crud.

    All right, Eddie. 3-1. Time to use all your skill.

    Pineda was suspended for 10 games for pine tar on his neck. Using that as innuendo for what is being treated as a first-offense of the drug policy, itself reduced by an arbitrator based on exculpatory evidence, is disingenuous. And my comment did not address the post-season, which obviously is affected the same with or without the reduction. Which leads me to... Moderator's Note: It should be obvious, this thread will be monitored for disrespectful posting and for trolling, according to the usual site policy.

    The arbitrator reduced the standard suspension, which suggests there was no evidence of other substances being masked.

    There is an article up and I'l like to ask members to direct their comments there. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/34800-front-page-michael-pineda-suspended-60-games-for-banned-substance/

    "Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic and masking agent prohibited under Section S5 of the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Prohibited List. ... Diuretics can mask other prohibited substances by increasing urine volume, thereby diluting the presence of any other substances present in a urine sample." https://www.sportsintegrityinitiative.com/jockeys-ban-raises-questions-hydrochlorothiazide-sanctions/

    Gut punch. Thanks, Mike.

    RandBall's Stu might attempt a satiric sabrmetric analysis of these kids and why they'll never make the major leagues, but I'm not so cruel. I'm only cruel enough to throw it out there as an idea, and then promptly disavow it.

    Not too much different. Since we didn't score in the bottom of the inning, it suggests all that the DP would have done is let us live to see another inning. The repeated inability to push across just one more run in any of the previous FIVE innings is what did us in.

    Chief was responding to a statement that "I have seen Eddie gun down several dozen base runners trying to stretch in the past couple of years". Most of the 47 occurred before "the past couple of years", when teams were still challenging him. He had 9 assists last season and 7 so far this season. I felt, same as Chief apparently, that there was no need to exaggerate to such a degree. Doing that cheapens the praise for Rosario's arm rather than enhances it.

    109 pitches against Oakland in July, upon checking, but yeah, good memory, I would have guessed more than that. Concur on the blame. It's fun to debate how to eke out a close win, because sometimes you'll have those situations and want to win your share, but through 9 innings the pitching and defense did their job and the offense mostly did not, and we should not have been faced with Graterol or whoever in a high leverage 11th inning situation if the offense had.

    Where I sit, it's already tomorrow. Good night morning.
  22. ashbury
    Don't panic. We have Ian Miller.
  23. ashbury
    Oh, Goody.
  24. ashbury
    Welcome back.
  25. ashbury
    Goal right now: just get out of here with those two runs.
