    Sure it is.

    If this was a North Carolina basketball team, Roy Williams would bench the relievers and bring in a whole new 5. Alas.... baseball doesn't let you do that. Are we done with the Phil Hughes experiment yet, as well? I can't even see him helping from the pen.

    That is one of the ugliest reddish colors, for my taste. I wonder who sold that product to them, or picked the color? Morrison. I must be dreaming, a flash back to last year.
  4. h2oface
    Totally agreed. Totally unnecessary, especially at that point in the game. I don't know that it would have changed anything, though. Escobar has very little range.

    No projection article coming from anybody after this week with the 2-8 second ten and the 8-12 record? Something like....Through Twenty Games, Twins On Pace For 97 Losses

    Take that performance, Gibson haters!

    Ha. Hadn't even thought about it. But. If it includes Rodney. Whatever you want to call the delivery format. It has to be the worst.
  8. h2oface
    If Rodney is on your team, and you are a fan, you will suffer. The only perspective for me is I hate to ever see him. Before this year, and definitely now. I can't wait to see him gone. I said that when he was signed, and am not surprised. The fact that he sucked like this at the start of last year, and got all the way back to a 4.23 ERA on the season AS A CLOSER, only makes things worse. Wow, a 4.23 for the season. That means the FO will hold on to him far too long.
  9. h2oface
    He is over 40 and at the end of the scary career. If he is on your team, and you are a fan, you will suffer. It is well known and consistent. Another role? How about on the White Sox, or Yankees. Wouldn't it be great for this team to get to hit off him in Yankee stadium? Average against him is almost .400 this year! A whole team of .350 hitters. That is the only way I want to have to watch him.
  10. h2oface
    ... for another team, if they are foolish enough to let him. Is it better to blow up the game in the 6th-7th, instead of the ninth? Maybe. For a different team.
  11. h2oface
    The worst part of this fiasco, it that he was horrible and messed up the start of Arizona's 2017 season. Absolutely dreadful. Like a 12.60 ERA or something like that for the first month. Then he pitched better. Enough to finish year at a forgettable 4.23 or something. But the damage is done. Because of that history, they are bound to let him blow up to 5 more games to see if they can be proven right. F&L were misguided. They are misguided. They need to smarten up. We don't need a player the fans don't want to see, even it he has some future success. Take it elsewhere. EIGHT PITCHES!

    I hate watching Rodney on this team. Hell, I hate watching Rodney for any team. Always have. Always will. Hated the signing. Hate to see Molitor ever give him the ball. He is a cartoon. He is horrible. What a complete joke. Even if he has some success, I will hate to see him on the Twins. Take it elsewhere, if you can find any fools. One only needs to honor papa passed so much. That is all talk. That expired years ago. Now it is all ego. And for what? 8 pitches. Eight Pitches. EIGHT PITCHES! Gibson says "Bite Me!"
  13. h2oface
    Agreed. Thankfully, Kinley is now DFAd. Track records are nice, but that is just history, at this point. The Cards wanted no part of Lynn back, or Duke, and they seem to always have some pretty good pitching... pretty savvy. Nobody else seemed to want Morrison either. The track records almost make it worse to me, like Morales a couple years ago. They cost millions more, and need to perform, especially at the beginning of their stay on a new team, if they want fan support. And because of their salaries, the FO and management is locked in and even slower than usual to move on if needed. The career year by Morrison seemed to be an outlier, and he is regressing to his norm and worse. At least they were signed on the cheap, considering what they wanted. So..... one could even say, for 2018, they are all shaping up as colossal whiffs...... which doesn't mean that they can't right their year, but so far, I hear the howl of the wind. I hope they find it soon. We need them too, desperately.

    JT Chargois had another great outing today.... He came in in the 7th with a runner on first. He had a WP on the 2nd pitch (should have been scored a passed ball as Grandal should have had it, not even in the dirt) to advance the runner to second, but struck Maybin out swinging on 4 pitches. A lame ground out advanced the inherited runner, Bour, to third with 2 outs. A six pitch swinging strikeout (the last two of the strikes swinging with one ball called and 2 fouls) ended the inning and stranded the runner at third. 2 strikeouts - both swinging - and a lame ground out on 14 pitches, 10 strikes. They are still calling him Char-gwah (char as in Charlotte). http://m.mlb.com/player/608638/jt-chargois

    12, 13, 13 and 11 = 49 hits given up in 35 innings by the 4 pitching staffs, today (yesterday much better). Lucky to go 2-2. This is a very disturbing trend all through the system. Strikeout rates that don't account for total batters faced can be really non-representative of what is going on. here is the Cedar Rapids box link http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2018_04_25_burafx_cedafx_1&t=g_box&sid=milb

    Rodgers, Rodney, Kinley, and Duffey left. Yuk.
  17. h2oface
    Reed is getting cocky the last two appearances. You can't throw a sub 90s fastball right down the middle. Homer and double is the result.
  18. h2oface
    I called that the second pitch..... it was the second pitch of the at bat.
  19. h2oface
    LaMarre should have pinch hit for one Gross man or Morrison. He could make the outfield stronger if used for Gross man.
  20. h2oface
    Two of the pitches to Morrison were right down the middle, the second pitch fastball meat.
  21. h2oface
    Bases loaded with killer's row coming up. Damn.
  22. h2oface
    0-2 again.
  23. h2oface
    0-2 and an 8 pitch walk. again.
  24. h2oface
    Yankees don't miss that pitch that Dozier popped up. There in lies the difference. It is only a mistake if you tag it.
  25. h2oface
    No first to third, no second to home and scoring. Is this team taking advantage of it's elite speed?
