  1. Like they say in car races, Culpepper is becoming bigger in his rear view mirror...
  2. As part of my lent sacrifice, I watched most of the game last night. Our infield defense was really bad. It did not help Ryan at all.
  3. The new direction needed is a new owner, not an owner that makes the job impossible
  4. The most likely reason for me is that the Rockies wanted Ohl and not Adams.
  5. Kody Clemens is the LEFTY Kyle Garlick. Like Garlic and onions, you know...
  6. Welcome Derek Shelton! Did you think that managing the Pirates was tough? Try this one.
  7. I read the article and all the comments. But I did not find any information on how Jenkins and/or Rodriguez rate as CF. And I think that is an important piece of information when deciding if can replace Buck. I don't have that info, and I've never seen they play live. Does anybody have info about that?
  8. Have you been watching what happens in the field lately? Keep talking Audra, please
  9. I think with all due respect, that your point of view is a little bit simplistic. When there is uncertainty from the top, in any organization, not only in sports, everybody start to act accordingly, from Falvey to the manager to the players. Nobody really knows what is the plan. And almost everybody underperforms. Finally, Falvey must have said, well, you wanna save money?, save money and we are done with it. But this is not gonna be fixed until they sell the team.
  10. I think in this case it makes sense because their best left-handed hitters start the game 1st and 3rd in the order. So you want them to face your best lefty. NOw, in general the concept not always work,
  11. When you trade a pitcher, you trade from your own depth. I am not sure the Twins have that depth right now. Yes, they probably have 5 starters Lopez, Ryan, Woods Richardson, Ober, Festa. two in excess, Paddack, Matthews. Then the injuries start to pile up and you have to start promoting prospects, be they ready or not..
  12. Basically, I don't disagree with you. I would add that the subject of ownership of Sport franchises valued in billions of dollars is in itself a political discussion (even in the best sense of political) Because it affects directly the community where the franchise is situated, way beyond the score of a particular game
  13. But it is implied. Although I wouldn't blame Powell specifically for it. The common medicine to bring down inflation is to increase the cost of money by increasing interest rates, which is what Powell did. Sure, that means that it will be harder for anybody to get money to spend, and as always, the lower you are in the economic totem pole, the harder it is. Actually Powell did apply this medicine with quite success, because inflation lowered without causing a recession.
  14. I did some simple math: 44 million, corrected for inflation (assuming 3% a year, some years it was more, but many years was less, so that would not be that off) would be approximately 143 million in today's dollars. If they sell in $1.5 B that sounds not too bad as an investment, does it?
  15. I noticed he got 3 outs from the 3 righties, but the 3 lefties hit him hard. maybe trying something different against lefties?
  16. I think this is the difference between this year team and last year team. And that shows that the reduction in payroll is not "free". It is paid in roster depth. Last year there were injuries too, but my recollection was that the depth was better, both on the hitting and the pitching side. In the rotation right now we have 3 rookies that are performing admirably, but at least 2 of them would be in AAA completing their development, if not for injuries.
  17. Sometimes Randball columns are funny. Sirs, this something different. Is literature...
  18. According to the article, he did throw a change-up. It was just one in the middle of the plate. Not much Jeffers could do about that
  19. I bet this is kind of an audition of who stays as a starter and who stays as a long reliever (of Williams and Varland. It looks like the winner is Williams
