    Carol can be spelled more than one way too. Just, not when it's you.

    I gave up on Duffey last season. Didn't know the Pitcher Whisperer would be brought on board to fix him.

    KEPLER !!!!

    Another ten pitches would be the difference-maker?

    Growing up elsewhere, thus he wasn't the enemy for me, he was the first football star( r ) that I was aware of. Kind of a rite of passage to watch stars of our youth pass away.

    Four-seamer FTW, baby!

    Nice to come back right after a good scoring inning with 1-2-3 by Odo.

    Only thing wrong with this strategizing is that every team already has a certain number of guys just like the ones we are willing to part with. It's the ones we don't want to part with who will attract attention. Opinions in front offices will vary, but you could probably acquire a couple of very top-end players with our very best prospects, and if you could bundle up all the rest you couldn't get a third and fourth one. And if we totally gutted our farm, on the idea that we can restock in the next couple of drafts, well guess what, the other front offices will view it that way from their POV too, and not bother with our mid-tier guys. You can never have too much pitching, so someone will take your prospects if your asking price in terms of MLB stars isn't too high. But pitching's what I don't want to part with either. It's not that I over-value prospects and want to clutch them tightly, it's that you literally can't get that much for most of them unless you are willing to take talent that doesn't really change our 25-man roster. So I'm back to peddling Larnach and then various guys like Celestino. Weak sauce for acquiring multiple difference-makers.

    It could be hard to gear up from the lower demand, and a holiday weekend might be exactly the hardest time to call in temporary workers until they can staff up. Also, fans at better-attended parks might learn from experience not to all try to arrive and go in at the same convenient moment near first-pitch. Target Field has had good attendance years, but people forget. OTOH, here I am straining a bit to defend DSP. Crazy times we're living in.

    Maybe every starter is like this to some extent as they mature, but I like Gibson's transition from a somewhat fidgety figure on the mound to a poised grown man.

    Your hawt taek stylings could use some work.

    I'm not one for conspiracy theories, and your level of paranoia... seems just about right in this case.

    Injuries make me so angry!

    He's had 10 good starts this year, and one stinker. That stinker was Opening Day. By good starts, I mean 6 or more innings with 3 or fewer earned runs; 8 of the starts have been better than this minimum. Season-long, opposing batters have an OPS under .600 against him, versus a league OPS above .730. He strikes out plenty of guys, and walks hardly any. He goes out there every fifth day, just like a young pup. I really don't know what standard you are holding pitchers to. Sure he's expensive and I'm not completely sure we should go after him for this plus 2 more years. But as 2.5 year gambles at $35M per year go, he remains a pretty good one.

    He also likes Trevor May as a top-10 closer, and Willians to get 500 PA. Book it!

    Another indication of trouble is when you are being called by your first, middle, and last names, Mr Sample SizeOf One.

    Just who exactly might you be referring to, Sir?
