    SANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. Danchat
    Huh, didn't think Gibson would be done so soon. I think he had another inning in him.
  3. Danchat
    And now we have our third straight game allowing at least one run in the first inning...
  4. Danchat
    I'm gonna disagree here... I think it's a close enough game that I wouldn't want the back-end guys facing Bell and Dickerson.
  5. Danchat
    I'm just watching the game's boxscore, so I've had to imagine all of the chaos and hijinx Rosario has been causing the past few innings...
  6. Danchat
    Neverauskas is going to go up there with the other great reliever last names like "Balfour" and "Bummer".
  7. Danchat
    Sano's making the person who called his bat a black hole look a bit silly...
  8. Danchat
    Look, I don't like that he's on the roster, but this isn't the right situation for a rookie who hasn't proved himself in the minors. He has the stuff to get the Ks but he's going to be giving up 5.0+ walks per 9 innings.
  9. Danchat
    Not a great start from Odorizzi, but I'm not concerned about him. The core of the Pirates lineup has been daunting so far through the season...
  10. Danchat
    They're tiring out the defense and keeping ours fresh and rested. Wait, this isn't football...
  11. Danchat
    Another Dozier solo HR!!!!!!!!!
  12. Danchat
    Did those scoreless 6 innings on opening day not happen? Odorizzi has given up 2 runs in his first 7 inning... and Berrios was 3rd in the rotation so he could pitch the first game in Puerto Rico.

    I do think it's more valuable for teams to start heating up in August-September to gain momentum for the playoffs. I've seen plenty of teams in several sports have great first halves to the season and then cool down in the 2nd half and make a quick playoff exit. I do think it's more important to play your best baseball later in the year (which is obvious because that's when the playoffs are). Not to say that April games aren't valuable - you can't afford to dig yourself in a 9 game losing streak to start the year, but going .500 is acceptable. You don't squander these early games but most teams that go on crazy April and May runs (remember the 2015 Twins?) don't end up bringing that success to their playoff runs.

    Agreed, and I can confirm that Milwaukee's retractable roof is disappointing as well. You either build a stadium open like Target Field or closed like the Vikings Stadium but it still feels like it's outside with the glass roof.
  15. Danchat
    I'm thinking they would DFA Jake Cave and try to sneak him through waivers.
  16. Danchat
    Kinley's the rule 5 guy who hasn't had a good season above high A, so throwing him into a non-blowout isn't a wise idea. The less he plays, the better. The ump today had a tiny strike zone, so I'm not concerned with the walks, but Duke's pitching style seems to consist of 40% of the pitches landing in the dirt. That's probably just the small sample size but he needs to try and land more pitches in the strike zone.
  17. Danchat
    Gotta love how they brought out the lefty specifically to get Kepler out and he nails a double on the first pitch he sees. NOICE!
  18. Danchat
    According to the Holy Unwritten Rules, thou must score by hitting solo home runs only. Trying to get guys on base to score when down by this much is considered bush league. ...And then Dozier hits a solo HR as I type this. Nice.
  19. Danchat
    In contrast to how Gibson and Odorizzi were wild but effective, Lynn has been ineffectively wild. That's 6 walks already.
  20. Danchat
    I think we all jinxed Lynn with those articles about starting pitching yesterday. I guess the pressure got to him!
  21. Danchat
    Exactly, they're getting upset over something really dumb. Why shouldn't Sisco try to get on base and start a rally? Some of the Twins comments from Dozier and Berrios are some of the dumber things I've ever heard. Yeah, let's shame the rookie for trying to win the game when they're down big in the 9th.
  22. Danchat
    That's about the best start I could have asked for from our rotation. Just fantastic pitching from all three of the guys, and we haven't even seen Lynn and Ervin will eventually be back. This team is gonna be good this year. If the lineup can do what they did last year and our starting and relieving pitching is improved like we've seen so far, we have a playoff-caliber squad here.
  23. Danchat
    Why carry a player on the 25 man roster an entire season just to DFA the guy when the next year starts? Turner could have used another year of experience in the minors but instead got 89 PAs for the Reds and hit .134.
  24. Danchat
    Did we watch the same Pressly last year?
  25. Danchat
    Agreed, I'm not ready to give up on him. Giving up one run in the 11th isn't going to instantly make me hate him, especially after he saved Hildy's backside in the 10th with that DP groundball.
