    The bullpen is fine!!! Good thing these April games only count 60% of what August and September games do.

    Can't be walking guys with 2 down in a tie game in the 9th
  3. DaveW
    Uh. Oh.
  4. DaveW
    We also would have accepted a H2 and a Mini

    Santana had a great spring, let him get a shot there. I'm not a fan of Nunez on this roster, but if you won't bring him in against a LHP, what is the point of having him on the roster? If they switch to a RHP then you bring in Arcia.' I just don't get it.

    God that would be like 100x worse than the time we all saw Liriano get injured.

    Again, what is the point of bringing in Murphy if you refuse to PH for Suzuki in the 7th inning of a 2-1 game, or the 9th inning of a 2-2 game? And don't give me this "Oh it's only game one Dave" nonsense, every game counts just as much as every other game. In a 2-2 game in the 9th inning, you need to go for the win any chance you get. Murphy is more than capable to "catch" and come up later in the 11th/12th inning if it goes that far to hit, in fact, he is likely a better hitting option and defensive option at this stage anyways!

    Oh God, don't even think it/say it.

    Once again, this seems like an ideal place to use a PH for Suzuki...
  10. DaveW
    nice
  11. DaveW
    Some would argue that they should send him out for 7 or 8 every 5th day
  12. DaveW
    As long as he stays clear from the StatFreak top ten mental midgets rankings, I think he will be fine.

    Wow, that was a terrible at bat. Eddie needs to step up his approach if he wants to go from "solid" to good/great as a ballplayer.
  14. DaveW
    To be fair, it was never a Hardy vs Hooey decision, it was a Hardy vs Nishioka decision. Disaster either way though.
  15. DaveW
    I don't either. But his struggles last season definitely hurt the team overall (offensively) and he didn't really make any strides in Spring Training as well. Again, it's not the worst thing in the world to have him on the roster at this stage (they didn't have any other options at this stage) but I feel they could have handled him a bit better.

    Color me impressed with Mauer's "pull" approach this spring.

    Every time I see David Ortiz hit another home run, I wonder how many Pizza's Matt Lecroy has eaten this week.

    3 strike outs in 3 at bats, I mean yeah he looks "better" but he still looks over-matched, I think he is going to be a damn great player overall (he already is a stud defensive CF) but I really think he could use some confidence at the dish with some AAA time, I mean, he struggled last year, and struggled in spring training, none of this is surprise. But at some point you need even your #9 hitter to produce a bit. I'm not worried about his career, I am worried about how much he make hurt this team at the plate the first couple months of the year. I for one am looking for this team to make the playoffs, if it was a given we were a 90 loss team heading into the season, then I wouldn't worry.

    Buxton is over-matched at this stage of his career, this is going to be a rough few months for him.
  22. DaveW
    It has happened before.
  23. DaveW
    So I know it "sorta" worked out, but what is the point of rostering Arcia at this point if you won't bring him in to hit for Suzuki there against a RHP? Isn't one of the reasons why we got Murphy is that he can handle his own behind the dish and at the plate? I know it's "game one" but you need to manage game one just like it's game 30, 60 or 100.

    Wow I take my dog out to go the bathroom and I come back tied? Rally Cap? That is so 2015, Rally **** is where its at!
  25. DaveW
    Ah yeah, I guess it was Saturday. But Tonkin pitched 50 in a game yesterday.
