    Already 0-3 RISP today. Sub .133 RISP after the All-Star break. Ugh.
  2. Danchat
    Just saw this earlier today. The Dodgers are 30-4 in their last 34 games, so I'm not liking Colon's chances. At least he'll get to hit one last time...

    It's nice to see Granite moved to the #9 spot, but now we have Polanco at DH? Too bad we don't have Vargas here, because, y'know, we really needed to get Breslow on the roster. Anyways, let's hope Berrios can have a rebound performance.

    I mentioned the exact same thing to my parents a minute before Dick did. We were on the same wavelength!
  5. Danchat
    Is it time for some more Dick depth perception jokes?

    It seems to me like Belisle is entering Blaine Boyer territory. He's not good enough to be a solid reliever but he's also not bad enough to cut, so he remains here. He's been pretty good as of late so I'll stop calling for him to be DFA'd. But I will insist on pounding the table for sending Pressly down.
  7. Danchat
    Even though things were looking good at first for Colon, his ERA somehow ended up rising to 8.19. It's time to get Busenitz back up here for Pressly.

    Here's something interesting I just came across...
  9. Danchat
    Nice triple by Dozier there, but we really could have used a hit from Granite or Mauer there to make it 4-1. Granite needs to be hitting in the #9 spot if he's only going to hit groundballs.
  10. Danchat
    This doesn't seem to be happening. Gee is probably staying in case Colon implodes. What does Busenitz need to do to get past Breslow? He's already dominating AAA. Breslow has struggled in low leverage innings. I am a fan of the FO's usage of the DL, but relying on mediocre veteran relievers is not good.
  11. Danchat
    I don't know how you would compare Rivera to those two, but Santana was clearly better than Colon. Pitcher wins were clearly the most important stat back then (gags offscreen).
  12. Danchat
    Rogers is getting pretty good at cleaning up Duffey's messes.
  13. Danchat
    I just came back on to type the exact same thing. Guess I got ninja'd. I wonder how many more blown 7th inning leads it'll take to get Duffey demoted to low leverage innings...
  14. Danchat
    The Twins seem to be able to turn around mediocre shortstops and make them viable. Nunez went from a complete bust at SS to a viable utility guy who started to hit around .300. Escobar was thought to be a AAAA player at best and has shown some pop and can start without being a liability. Adrianza, if he keeps it up, is a guy who couldn't hit to save his life but now he suddenly is.
  15. Danchat
    Molitor made the right call there. I guess that's why I'm not making the calls.
  16. Danchat
    Wait, we're going to trust Duffey in this situation? Wait WHAT?! Mejia was giving up some hard contact, but I would have given him some more rope...
  17. Danchat
    Yeah, I don't get why someone like Rosario or Kepler isn't hitting in that spot. Granite isn't exactly lighting things up right now. Reminds me of Buxton in the #3 spot early this year.
  18. Danchat
    Wow, did you play a whole season or something? Or was it a computer version of the board game?
  19. Danchat
    I explained it in the opening post, but basically it's a board game called Strat-O-Matic Baseball and it simulates games using the players' stats.

    Strat-O-Matic Game Report Top of the 9th Sano triples (I don't know how this would happen...). Kepler walks. Vargas walks, bases loaded. Escobar strikes out swinging. Rosario strikes out swinging. Castro strikes out swinging. Astros win 8-7. Wow. Just wow. The Twins needed one run in the 9th, got a leadoff triple, and then completely blew it. That's two incredibly disappointing loses today. Alright, thanks for tuning in everybody. Let's hope for a better series next time around.

    Strat-O-Matic Game Report Bottom of the 8th (Trevor Hildenberger pitching, Castro catching) Reddick strikes out swinging. McCann doubles to center. Gurriel singles to left, McCann to 3rd. (Taylor Rogers now pitching) Gonzalez sac fly to deep center, McCann scores (HOU 8-7), Gurriel to 2nd. Bregman strikes out swinging. Well... it's down to the 9th inning and we trail by one! Meanwhile, the Twins in reality are trying to overcome a 3 run deficit in the 9th.

    Strat-O-Matic Game Report Top of the 8th Vargas grounds out to second. Escobar doubles. Rosario walks. (Joe Mauer pinch hits for Gimenez) Mauer walks, based loaded. Adrianza hits a sac. fly, Escobar scores (7-7). (Ken Giles now pitching) Dozier walks, bases loaded. Grossman grounds out to short. Wow, we've tied it up! We were down 6-0 at one point! Is this one going to go to extra innings?
  23. Danchat
    Strat-O-Matic Report Bottom of the 7th -Buddy Boshers now pitching- Aoki doubles to left. Marisnick sacrifice bunts, Aoki to third. Springer grounds out to third, runner holds. Altuve grounds out to first. HOU leads 7-6
  24. Danchat
    Pretty sure that ground ball was foul. Too bad for Hildenberger, it should have been a good outing for him, but then bad throws and questionable calls happen.
  25. Danchat
    Strat-O-Matic Report Top of the 7th -Will Harris now pitching- Gimenez homers! (HOU 7-5) Adrianza doubles. Dozier strikes out swinging. Grossman reaches on bad throw from P Harris, Adrianza scores, Grossman to second (HOU 7-6). Sano singles, Grossman to third. -Chris Devenski now pitching- Kepler grounds into a double play. Wow, the Twins are within a run! Too bad Kepler had to ground into a double play. We have one run games in both reality and simulation-world.
