    To add to this, the players are not objective opinions of their effectiveness if they stretch more innings, or weighing the impact of inherited runners to the bullpen. I don’t blame Gray for being a competitor and wanting to go deeper in games, but his opinion is just his opinion. He pitched great his last outing, but letting him go for the 7th was very fortunate that Thielbar was hell of a fireman. That probably would have have gone crooked 7 out of 10 times and changed the game entirely.

    100% agreed, they should have and probably did know in warmups that Mahle was hurt, and Sands or Bundy or whoever should have started this game.

    Agreed, Thielbar put the fire out without a run scored, that was the first time I can remember in a looong time, that an inherited runner didn’t score. Rocco does everything he can to avoid mid-inning reliever changes because inherited runners score so frequently. They don’t have that rubber-armed fireman to get you out of a jam. Sands was effective last night for the 9th, but I think he’d be better served piggy backing with Archer to get the two of them through 7 or 8 innings on a schedule.

    Stew heard Dazzle mock him.

    Arraez and shine… gritty at-bat

    Good job Thielbar! words I did not think I would type together

    Wheels coming off…
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    holy crap! Gray out for the 7th!

    It’s weird down in a river valley here. TV is spotty too, unless you have a really tall antenna

    If listeners (not Chief, I know…) are in the Twin Cities metro, WCCO streams the Twins game free theoretically I can listen to ‘CCO over the AM radio, but my house is in a valley and it doesn’t tune in.

    Good question. One would think a dermatologist would be familiar enough (or ask) with Tatis’ job to say “run this past the team doctor, if it’s no good, I have these options…”
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    While true, irrelevant. In this case the player is claiming they used a prescription medication that contained a banned substance. They, or their doctor should have ran it by the team before applying it to Tatis’ scalp.
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    The reason the starters are limited to 4-5 innings, is as much to do with limiting their workload for the year, as it is limiting their exposure to the opposing lineup. Going to a 4 man rotation increases workload on pitchers who haven’t pitched 150 innings before, or haven’t in several years. The market inefficiency on injured starters tends to reduce available capacity for innings pitched
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    Back on the Mavericks/Malo thread. I think this fits.
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    Great article Theo!
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    I like it, but it would be nice if the box were dynamic. Adjust to the batter and ump tendency, agreed w/ others it does cause consternation
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    His solo work is really good too!
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    I can’t wait to visit your non-gender-specific antre. Sounds like a hoot!
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, along with stringer bell, context matters. I would add to that context, not making an out leads to crooked innings. Even if a hitter doesn’t get the RBI, just getting on base without making an out is huge. Player K could have 10 rbi in 78 at-bats but got on base without an out in 30 of the at-bats, time to move him up in the order.
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    I disagree with this entirely. 1) Jeffers - while not a great hitter, Sanchez hasn’t been since going into the lead role. Sanchez is fine as a platoon guy, but he’s not as good of a hitter to overcome his receiving skills. Outs are outs, and I’ll take put-outs… but value to the team, receiving is way more valuable than throwing as a catching skill. There is on average one successful stolen base per game, league wide, over the course of the season. There are 100 plus pitches thrown per game per team. Getting a higher number of strikes called, fewer passed balls, the frequency is 30:2. Yeah, ideally you’d have a catcher who can do both, but receiving is way more valuable. 2) Larnach rips the cover off the ball @wabene called it out. Additionally, Larnach may not have a ton of range, he makes the sound play. He catches what he gets to, without doing many the risky plays that let the roller bounce around in the corner. As to the OP, I would add a 4th, Jorge Alcala. The pen is MUCH improved, but another shut down reliever would go a long ways towards keeping close games close. The starters are not going to magically become 1990s era workhorses, the bullpen has to be a modern deep flame throwing shut down pen.
