    Look, I just wait for you to use the "predictive power" you are trying to chastise me about after they've started or ended, even a game later and the next day, or two, if they help you in an isolated instance. I even count on it. Nothing I said was out of line to consider in the least. And thank you for reminding me and all yet again that the statistical odds say "the Jays were likely to lose just like every other team heading into the bottom of the 10th tied." One can never say it too many times.

    My sphincter got to relax today. Grateful for that. Stubbornly bringing in Lopez to throw 17 after 30 less than 24 hours ago when the insurance runs were scored is a real head scratcher. Bit today we celebrate.

    Caveman!!! He wants to stay in the SHOW!

    PITCHERS NEED TO FIELD THE BALL!!!!!!!!

    Arraez couldn't even catch that throw from Polanco. He really is challenged at fisrt base. I guess baldy is all in on this game and hoping for offense tomorrow.

    Back to back nights for Jax and Duran,,,,,,, this should be telling as to how good these guys really are.

    Another 0-2 hit.
  8. h2oface
    Damn. That was a pitch Buxton should own.
  9. h2oface
    I wish Brian Bass had pitched like Anthony Bass.

    These guys are missing a ton of meatballs right down the middle.

    Time for Correa to earn some of that money!

    Walkin' the 9 batter on 4 pitches. This could be an inning.

    I love it when a pitcher gives up a couple homers and that is the only runs that scored, and he says in the interview post-game that he just had two mistakes. Funny how many meatballs, like the center center hanging meatball slider that Kirk just missed and struck out on wouldn't be a considered a "mistake" by Bundy..... but it sure was. It seems the Twins batters miss a lot of those "mistakes" that aren't credited.

    There goes the no hitter.

    Correa has been a huge disappointment. At the plate and in the field. Worth about 10 million. He isn't a bad player, but not that far above average this year. Time to step it up. Character? Well, without immunity, his character would have certainly been suspended.

    Check out Arraez and Correa's last 7 and 15 games. Cave and Beckham bring a much hotter bat from St.Paul, and Cave is still hot. Arraez and Correa are almost automatic outs right now. I would, as a manager, always figure in the moment as well as reputation.

    I think it is outdated for only the chumps that can't go 5 innings. Or the teams that use an opener (which seems to have had its run already). But for "real" starters, like Verlander and Scherzer and Cole and Kershaw etc..... it means a lot. The pen can blow the lead you hand them, and get "deGromed", but a win for a starter means you handed the pen the lead after at least 5 and that means a lot in my book. It is only outdated for those that dismis the history of baseball. The extra inning rule is for people who grew up and live in their phones and have a 1 second bite attention span that was programmed into them. Before you know it, there will be a 30 second home run derby that settles tie games. Putrid.
  18. h2oface
    Well that went smoothly.
  19. h2oface
    I bet he won't. Then the team would have to pay him instead of the Twins. I bet he clears waivers and selects free agency, and then signs and the signing team pays a prorated minimum salary and the Twins pay the rest.

    Overdue. Needed to happen earlier, but at least it is done? Sands? Have you seen his stats in AAA? People like to say he has "stuff". It just doesn't fool even the AAA batters much consistently. Or MLB batters in the brief times he has been given the ball in emergencies with the Twins. This was something that should have been done before the trade deadline, though. Maybe even including him in a trade as a forced piece if necessary. Baldelli likes to keep saying, even last night after the game, that Pagan has that great stuff, and he would continue to use Pagan in high leverage situations. I wish "stuff" wasn't as important as results.

    Nearly 4 months waiting on Alcala lost. Seems like such a waste of time that could have been avoided.
  22. h2oface
    Just don't tell Justin Verlander, fresh back from TJ surgery and still proving it doesn't have to be at 39 1/2
  23. h2oface
    Another TD article of praise that the team immediately makes look silly. Seems to be the TD jinx, Like clock work.

    Megill was OK until he was asked to pitch in the 2nd inning of the evening, after 14 pitches and the cool down. Duffey came in with runners on first and second, with one out, and gave up 2 inherited runs and 3 of his own with batting practice pitching. Relief was spelled inducing a double play, which he finally did after giving up 3 consecutive hits and a walk. Gray was wild but effective, and had 96 pitches after 5, so this was the night to pull him after 5 and be thankful that Toronto had no runs. Gray left handing the team and pen a 1-0 shutout. Pagan was middle middle, and one crushed with an 0-2 count! Just sad. 20 strikes in 25 pitches. It might help to be a little more deceptive. I keep hearing about hit and miss stuff, but I don't see it happening. Correa and Arraez didn't help with the defense, either. Even Arraez is badly slumping. .220 in his last 15 games, and .194 in his last 7. (.281 in last 30) Correa is .198 in his last 30 games, .207 in his last 15, and .167 in his last 7. Buxton is hot comparatively..... .194 in last 30, .241 in the last 15, and .250 in his last 7. Polanco is .228 in his last 30, .204 in his last 15, and .174 in the last 7. I hope Miranda is OK. That HBP to his wrist was LOUD!

    Just becsause there is plenty to dump on right now doesn't mean that Duffey still doesn't earn the massive dump he receives.
