    First batter K is a nice start to Smeltzer's career.

    Managers like their 13-man pitching staffs. Maybe with the off-days Rocco is willing to let go the safety blanket. I guess I just discount that possibility. If Smeltzer goes down, Thorpe or somebody comes up. It comes down to minor-league options remaining for the player. Adrianza has none. In general you do the reversible move, before you do an irreversible one.

    My take is pretty simple, in comparison to what I'm reading here. I don't believe today's pitching moves have much to do with the position players. Ehire stays. When Nelson comes off the IL, Luis goes down. When Mitch is ready for duty behind the plate, Willians goes down. If Mitch happens to be ready first, you could send either one down, and then the other afterward.

    The starter can't get credit for a win unless he goes 5 full innings, but he can get tagged with the loss for any small number of innings. The '5' part of 2-5 doesn't tell you much - Trevor Cahill is also 2-5 at this writing and has had nothing like the season Max has had.

    The only saving grace for Jay is that his BABIP was a bit high, at .395, during those 7 games. Take away three or four hits and maybe his numbers look better? In any case, his being 25 says to me, get him to AAA pronto, and let's make some final decisions on him. It's not like he's being blocked by an entire staff of high-performers at Rochester. Wouldn't it also be at least a little intriguing to let the major league coaching staff have a crack at him soon?

    Oof. Turkey dinner tonight. No chicken.

    C'mon Miggie!

    There are certain plays he makes exactly like they teach you.

    I guess that statement could be taken more than one way.

    When he's not calling for purpose pitches against his own team, that is.

    Jack Morris being Jack Morris. He'd drill a guy if the other team questioned his adherence to the rules. LOL.

    In the Massachusetts game circa 1850, you would be correct, Sir. Soaking the runner was a legitimate way of putting him out.

    Does Astudillo going on the other side of the foul line to receive that throw from Buxton make any sense?

    I think someone said that Odo sounded terrible after the game, whatever that meant. Perhaps he had the flu bug and gave the team all he had.

    I don't think your question is a topic anyone should care about. I mean really, why should you be curious why we are all curious about people being curious about people caring, when you come right down to it?

    Every time I read people say we should go out and acquire a controllable ace, I look at Syndergaard's numbers this year..... And wonder why anyone thinks anyone is a sure thing.... I don't have the numbers, but perhaps prospects do flame out in greater numbers than established veterans suddenly fizzle - and then either one bounce back. But that's why you have bundle more than one of the good youngsters to get the good veteran. There just aren't any sure paths to acquiring the top-end talent we all want.

    One can sincerely celebrate the wins in a starting pitcher's record, without at the same time believing it makes as good a forecasting tool as a lot of other stats at our disposal. Scherzer has already been mentioned - 6 really good starts, 4 league-average starts, 1 stinker - 2-5 W/L record.

    Let's hope so...

    Also too, no other team will take the Twins lightly from here on out. The tests get a little tougher now.
  22. ashbury
    Most teams don't have 30 wins total, so, yeah. If you mean as a percentage, it looks as if Baltimore starters have 14 of the 16 team wins, so they might be a little higher. By being lower.

    Among today's starting lineup, only Marwin, CJ, Luis and Willians failed to score a run. C'mon guys, just get on base - someone will drive you in!

    Seven runs on 6 hits and 2 walks. Homers can be pretty efficient when not solo shots.
