    Mahle Maeda and Gray went 5 and Ryan 6

    I don't think I said anything about last year. What about this year. 5 starts. Lopez went 5.1

    Pitchers like Alcantara put to rest the myth of pitching the 3rd time through the order. It's as mental as it is physical. The pitchers know they have that lifeline. Give up a hit and they know they're done.. And that's what seperates him makes guys like him aces. They have the mental toughness to grind it out. I love watching guys like him work.

    Kepler/Gallo HITL watch; .187-BA, 6K, 2-BB, 4-HR, 8-RBI, 13-LOB. Why Gallo and Kepler? And how are you viewing this? Low BA and high K and LOB, Or high HR and RBI's

    Just a question. And I'm not against trading him. But if you were the GM, what would you be looking for in return? Because I think that's why he hasn't moved. The asking price might be too high.

    I do know that Keplers numbers vs Keller were 7-19 before that game. Not sure about the other 2. And Gallo was like 0 for 19 against Greinke. Because there was some talk about him leading off opening day

    I don't understand how your simulation works? For example. You have Pagan going 2 and 2/3 innings. How or why would a simulator pick Pagan to go that long? Not because its Pagan but more because Baldelli seldom uses a bullpen in that way. And how does it select a lineup or roster?

    According to reports, Duran woke up on Saturday with a neck kink. So they were holding him out yesterday and today.

    Totally disagree. Avg game time in 1984 was 2.35, last year 3.22. What happened in those 40 years. Pitchers strolling around, hitters stepping out after every pitch to re-adjust their batting gloves, catchers running out to the mound, etc. I guess the shorter games is too distracting for the phone watchers. Now you really have to pay attention. Wow! I personally like it. It's not speeding up the game. It's just bringing it back to where it should be by eliminating all the extracurricular activities. But the ghost runner has to go.

    Good luck!
  12. Schmoeman5
    Sure did. Now I have to watch it for the umpteenth time. Just to watch him jump out of the tower
  13. Schmoeman5
    That was Robert Stack

    With all the carping on this thread today. You'd think the Twins lost 9-0. Early season, 4-11 with RISP while KC was 0 fer. When Twins strand runners it's poor hitting. When Twins pitchers work out of a jam it's great pitching??? It wasn't the prettiest but a wins a win. They all count

    There's not enough marbling on those steaks

    I like the addition of Farmer. But I have seen him make numerous baserunning mistakes and a few plays where he didn't hustle. Once on a pop-up that dropped in and another on a strikeout that went to the backstop. Maybe this is where the Carlos Correa leadership role comes into play. 2 posts in 1

    Exactly. Lemmings have a leader too!
  18. Schmoeman5
    I don't think it's cynical at all. Because it sounds eerily similar to their statements about Buxton starting off as dh and maybe as the weather warms up he'll get back to CF

    Where can I buy tickets for the All AL Central banquet.

    Go back to last ST and read what Falvey or Baldelli said about Archer. He was getting older, and with a shorter ST due to the lockout they were going to start him off slowly and ramp up his workload as time went by and he got stronger. So the were bs ing us all along because that never happened. And reading what Gray had to say in this article, thats pretty much what Archer expected every outing.
  21. Schmoeman5
    I mentioned Mahle not because I think he's hurt, but because he went down last year and has been so-so this spring. I agree he's nice better than Bundy.
  22. Schmoeman5
    SP pitchers want to pitch more innings because SP that pitch a lot of innings get paid more. Ding ding ding, we have a winner. But what you forgot to mention is that managers decisions are not his decisions they're made by the FO. Every decision, roster moves, lineups are based on dollars saved for most clubs. Not all. YET . Base ball has changed more in the last 20 years than it did in the first 100 years, and not necessarily for the better. Cars and phones have too.

    "great pitching and defense (on paper) but their offense stinks." The only part of the offense that has changed from last year is Arreaz is gone and Polanco is injured. Miranda was added after the season started to replace Kiriloff, so the optimists are saying Kiriloff and Polanco should return soon. Can't replace Arreaz. Agreed. But I'm still more worried about the starting pitching. Lopez, Gray, and Ryan and pray for rain. Because I think Mahle and Maeda are going to be clones of Bundy and Archer

    The players all know the deal. I know he's p o at not making it. And his teammates empathize with him I'm sure. They see and know who's deserving but they also understand the business side too. Every time I hear a gm or manager talk I believe about 1% of what they say in regards to a players status or where they'll fit in
  25. Schmoeman5
    What I'm not understanding is that you state, "Start with the pattern of a full-time DH, gradually into CF as health allows." Generally as the season goes on a players health deteriorates instead of getting healthier. And with Buxtons history. I don't understand how anyone can realistically expect him to play in more than 100 games in any capacity. It would be great to see him play in your 108 game scenario, but I see a lot of posters suggesting 140 games and that's just not realistic
