    And that’s a list that is both virtually and literally impossible to get on these days!

    Timing. 15-2 against the Mets. Great shape. Yup.
  3. h2oface
    There goes our run differential. Best pen in MLB. I thought we got rid of Jackson. Maybe just changed name to Stewart?
  4. h2oface
    The best move they could make is just DFA Theilbar. It is pathetic that they keep throwing him out there. They should have done it in ST.

    Better than being fat.

    People may laugh, but you are right. You can never have enough elite arms in the pen. And Duran is not reliable as you need to make the run for the trophy.
  7. h2oface
    Duran has become the Lopez of the pen. The expectation is there for excellence, but he just can't live up to the consistent performance. And it seems so many, not just the Phillies, make contact against him now. Even his high speed fastballs. Rarely does he have a clean inning. Someone always seems to make contact, if not all the hitters. We had the same opportunity, and we gave it to Jeffers, and the Phillies had Marsh. Damn. These last 3 series have been telling for being able to perform in close games. We were really rolling before Reese, Correa, and Miranda all went out at the same time. Plan Bs just can't quite do it.

    Jeffers is best to just hope for a walk these days, especially with the guy pitching and he has a strike to give at 3-1. He has got to be smarter than that. A one month wonder this year. Kinda sad. What a wasted opportunity.

    SNOWPIERCER! Time to get back on the train.......

    The bullpen gave up 11 runs in the last two games. All in 5 innings. Granted 2 of those innings were fake baseball, and 3 unearned as it goes.
  11. h2oface
    Pinch hitting an 0-22, now 0-23 pinch hitter doesn't help, eh? Jax giving up an 0-2 two run homer is on Jax, though.

    How does a manager managing to lose, ever win? 1-4 out of the last 5. Three game losing streak. Hello Phillies.
  13. h2oface
    My contention is that you play to the game. In the 7th, it makes no difference what happened in the first 6. And Ryan held the lead in his last inning pitched. It is now a 3 inning game and you were spotted one run. 5-4. 9-8. 1-0. It matters none. But you know that.
  14. h2oface
    Damn Joe Ryan. He let the bullpen give up another homerun.
  15. h2oface
    So your starter goes 6 full, leaves with a one run lead and the bullpen only needs 9 outs, and it is all on the starter. He gives the team the lead, holds the lead in the last inning pitched, and it is on him when he is not even in the game, and left with a one run lead with 3 innings to go. I would say it is on the last three batters of the 8th inning. That was pathetic. And Baldelli bashing his head against the proverbial wall continuing to pinch hit Margot, now 0-23. Way to go Rocco. Living up to your nickname. Jeffers is about worthless right now.
  16. h2oface
    Split it at best.
  17. h2oface
    Lee has been involved in a couple of costly defensive lapses late in two different games now.
  18. h2oface
    Impressive that Yelich bunted a runner in. Our hitters would never do that, nor would the manager be smart enough to call for it. Perhaps because our guys can't bunt even if they try?
  19. h2oface
    If Jeffers ever learns to backhand the ball...... Sands wild pitch could have been caught, but his glove was not turned. He sits, and then never backhands the catch. Sometimes, especially is you sit catch, backhanding is the best option.
  20. h2oface
    Absolutely. It hit the ground untouched and made a dive for foul territory before he even touched it. It was a foul ball for sure. It was inches away from the line and trying to go foul quickly when Okert reached down and helped it out, but now he had touched it.
  21. h2oface
    Wow. And this aside is what you are showcasing and got out of the many perspectives of that great post by @JAH? Regardless of one's opinion on Kepler's value - if you are a fan that is all about statistical value and the business, or one that enjoys continuity and loyalty above one or two year strangers with a statcast niche - the post had an insightful and interesting take on the whole Kepler discussion.
  22. h2oface
    How is life in a vacuum? 😇
  23. h2oface
    More writing Kepler off. Gets old every year, and every year you are all wrong. I hope he is a Twin for his whole career.
  24. h2oface
    No fan vote AND no player vote voted a Twin in. Mandatory pick by MLB goes to Correa. There has to be one from each team. He's the most famous for many reasons, and has very good numbers in the first half, finally, since becoming a Twin. Now he may need to let his wrist get some time off. I don’t have homer vision. There are no comparative all-stars on this team, when all the others in the game on all the other teams are considered. The cumulative baseball fans know it, and the players know it. "One month" Jeffers is not even close, yet. Some have had nice streaks, for sure. Replacement and mandatory must feel a bit cheap - to be on the team because MLB had to select at least one player from your team. I would think a player would want to have deserved a selection by the fans or players, and get to the game in a more respectful fashion, and replacement means exactly that, replacing the all-star that could not play. Maybe next year. I think some could sustain excellence and deserve it. Take off the homer blinders and get the big picture. We can still win without the "all-star(s)" on the team.

    And Baldelli benched the hottest bat in the game. Formula man.
