  1. What you want to be treated as valuable and acknowledged for having a unique point of view and social experience? How unreasonable. Hot damn, that's moral irony right there folks.
  2. Well, when you're Jeff Reboulet, I imagine it's pretty easy to crush on middle infielders with a bit of pop.
  3. Don't we have like three guys in our starting lineup who were picked in the 20s in the first round?
  4. Did you use the spacebar or cheat and hit return?
  5. I don't know if it's possible or if the streams are in sync--but could you open the television broadcast in one window and mute it and open the radio feed in another?
  6. I was thinking that, but still. Glad he produced. The SS position has produced more RBIs than any other position (I believe).
  7. Pretty surprised no pinch hitter here for Florimon.
  8. Arcia with a double and a homerun; Colabello with a tater and three hits; PJ Waters knocked around. Benson not playing.
  9. Way not too **** up, Parmball.
  10. Chris Davis is a monster for me so far; glad I held onto him through those first few years of suck...
  11. The best thing Tyler Robertson has going for him (other than being left handed) is that he's absolutely monstrous looking. So glad they took him out after the Fielder K. Good job, TRob.
  12. Big strikeout of Hunter there. They can walk Miggy and pitch to Fielder to set up the double play.
  13. Not trying to be contentious, but the run of criticism was a result of Mauer's passed ball, though Roenicke's nervousness didn't help (Roenicke did manage the next inning cleaningly). My point isn't so much that Gardy's management has been without flaw--rather it seems to me that Gardy is proactively managing in a way that he has not in the past. Maybe I'm eager, but it's difficult for me not to connect Mauer hitting second, the pinching hitting before the 8th inning, and the various substitutions for runners and defense late in the game--maybe there's not a pattern there, but I hope our old dog manager has learned some new, prudent tricks. After all, he's trying to keep his job.
  14. It's interesting to think about: how might the Bill Smith years have been different if Terry Ryan was still in charge. In some ways, Terry Ryan's second tour is a testament that there would have been different choices. I'm not sure how else the guy takes the job.
  15. To be fair Escobar was a defensive replacement once Ramirez pinch hit. We were all surprised that Carroll pinch ran, and Gardy left Escobar to potentially hit--that said, Escobar did have a good Spring, and well, he did exactly what he was supposed to in that situation. Honestly, Gardy's management of the bench and bullpen has been stellar; I'm not sure I would have done one thing differently. Maybe Gardy is actually adjusting his strategy based on convincing data, which would frankly be amazing, a goddamn boon.
  16. Where's Luis Rivas when you need him?
  17. I was thinking something like that too, but maybe we see more starters because it's an opening series. The next off game is next Thursday, but there's two day games Sunday and Monday, so they might wait to rest Mauer and others until one of those games...
  18. It gets the run home regardless. He certainly did his job.
  19. Right. Why wouldn't you save Carroll to potentially pinch hit for Escobar?
