    Where you see loudmouths I see very intelligent and articulate women, raising significant issues and not baloney. They remind me of my daughter, who gets things done assertively without being abrasive. The rest of your post is too disgusting to dive into. You really should rethink your principles.

    We need Buxton. If I sorted his game log correctly, when he plays the complete game, the Twins' record is 43-23 this season. In the games he played partially, they are 9-0. Without him, they are 6-13 now. The 9-0 part is an anomaly, I suppose, but the overall trend looks very strong. Not the same team without him.

    Another double. It took me a while to parse this one.

    On the phone with my 96-year old dad this afternoon, I asked him a simple "this or this" question. His snarky answer: Yes. So now I realize that I've been tormented by Chief jokes even before I knew there was a Chief. Is this a good thing, or a bad one?

    Okay, uncle. Marwin can play RF on my team. I'd like to think he took my comments to heart, earlier this year when he was stinking things up, and dedicated himself to mastering the position.

    And you likewise have a point, but the line has to get drawn somewhere - going after one another isn't allowed at the site, for a variety of reasons. Trying to discern the motivations of the general voting populace is a little different than that, and within the topic of the thread. The statement that you found inflammatory, if based on incorrect assumptions, can be rebutted pretty easily with why you feel your own life is better under Trump, for example. / edit - I got ninja'd by 'Smerf on that last point

    Would you like others to describe how you sound? Don't do that to others.

    Another fundamental principle - play for the tie at home, but not when on the road.

    First time I saw the overlay video technique. Very cool. (Got any of the pitcher in my current signature-file GIF?)

    Would've preferred a base hit to the K, but at least not a DP by Schoop (who's a pretty good candidate for that). We get a couple of cracks at least, by the top of our lineup.

    And here we go. Way to get us started, Ehire!

    Perfect time for a soul-crushing rally by the visiting team.

    Moderator's note: while I took the initial comment about socialism to be intended humorously, we do draw a pretty firm line on tangents like that in the baseball threads, so yes, please let it end here.

    Prediction: Bailey will look adequate when he pitches in Oakland, and will be dreadful on the road.
  16. ashbury
    Man, he and Scherzer are going to be an awesome 1-2 punch!

    Sadly, this bit of what Wikipedia short-sightedly calls "vandalism" has already been undone. Looking at the History tab for this page, the sequence is entertaining. Added during the hijinks of last night: "He is the legal father of Cleveland Indians pitcher, Trevor Bauer, as he [vulgarity deleted] in 5 straight ABs while facing Bauer.""He is also the daddy of Trevor Bauer after he hit his 5th straight home run off of him.""Trevor Bauer's Dad""Current owner of Trevor Bauer""He is also the daddy of Trevor Bauer after he hit his 5th home run in as many at bats.""Kepler also owns Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer"I may have missed one, but apparently this vandalistic Van Gogh has yet to find exactly the right palette that will pass muster. Someone named ChanDat - do you know him?

    I oversimplified. But this doesn't address the additional point that Parker was also warmed up (from having been used) and had thrown only 15 pitches. Also, I have absolutely no problem with managers deciding things. Rocco has done a few things I've noticed, and doubtless many that I haven't, making a statement that this is his team. Good leaders do that. "I'm not the manager because I'm always right, but I'm always right because I'm the manager." -- Gene Mauch Rocco is the anti-Gardy in regard to closer usage. At a BoSox game I attended earlier this year, sitting next to the visitors bullpen, Shane Greene was up and fully warmed up, then his Tiger teammates scored a couple of runs making it no longer a save situation; down he sat and another guy who had been warming up came in. The chump allowed enough runs to make it a save situation again, so in came Greene. Nothing remarkable about that, but I suppose times are changing.

    Summary: "Why did you bring in Rogers with a 4-run lead?" "I decided to."

    If he's had three or four beers, perhaps he already has.

    Sorry, I'm too drunk to notice.
  23. ashbury
    Thank you Marwin.

    Buxton holds nothing in reserve on defense.

    And Jake Cave's beard looks like it needs a trim. But I'm still enjoying this 5-2 lead.
