    Great outing. Made the game thread fun again. I was reminded of a start Brad Radke made early in his career. Just like Joe Ryan last night, Radke also had a perfect game into the 7th inning, for 19 hitters, in Radke's second season, which was 1996. In Yankee Stadium no less. Also that turned out to be the dynasty Yankees team Radke was pitching against. Not saying 2021 Cleveland will turn out to be the 1996-2001 Yankees, but if Joe Ryan turns out to be Brad Radke ... ?

  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I wish I was musical
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not even a Dobnak-type extension? ?
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There was hard contact and the usual stuff but a lot of routine plays too and pitching ahead in the count
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    He ran hard and created another run

    I wonder if they could have just traded Cruz for Ryan, straight up, instead of throwing in the Strotman-Faucher exchange (anyway, i will stop with the inside baseball talk)

    Now that it’s over. Highlight of the season:

    ahem just for the record i was talking about the kaboom home run image lol
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Does Ryan do that water polo warmup for all nine innings? Bizarre
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Haven’t pulled that thing out since maybe April

  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    LOL that was my thought, something like 3-0 since Baldelli departed

    Hey—also, Stephen Gonsalves pitched for the Red Sox in that game! Welcome back to the bigs.

    Yeah, the sun looked like it was brutal... I think the scorer was just “lookin’ out” for the home team. If the exact same play happens with the teams reversed it is most definitely a triple.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Possibly so. It’s your thread so I defend and appreciate your speaking up. However, a lot of lifelong die hard fans are feeling that same way, and the overwhelming majority of them do not post. I’ll just leave it at that.

    The Dodgers and Giants are finishing their season series tonight. The two best teams in the league have been fighting it out all year, lots of epic games, and Friday night’s was maybe the best of them all. Game recap here of nine minutes, but worth every second if you really geek out on this stuff https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mGwry8GA5PM

    It looks like Gordon entered the game as third baseman (a whole ‘nuther conversation) and then came to bat in Buxton’s spot. It looks like Cave entered as center fielder at the same time Gordon entered. If Gordon had actually pinch hit for Buxton and then went out to play third base, the notation would read: PH-3B /post edited a thousand times for clarity (I hope)

    Sure, things can change fast, but I tried to get you to pump the brakes back in spring training when you called the 2021 rotation the deepest in memory. A good pitching staff in 2022, in my opinion, will have more to do with bringing in new pitching and bullpen coaches and bringing new people into the front office from the outside to help with pitching the day after the season ends. This organization has been bleeding pitching talent since Falvey and Levine showed up and while I’m not calling for their firing, I do think the first thing to do is to get someone else in to stop the bleeding. Or maybe there are people already inside who aren’t being heard who need to be. Even better. Not trying to be Debbie Downer for anyone. Not trying to have a negative mindset. Just trying to present another set of expectations for people to consider for 2022. We can half-expect that 1 or 2 of the young pitchers will emerge and surprise us in 2022 and still have fun following the team and talk about moving the pieces around for 2023. Thanks!

    Frankly? I think the only ones on that list ready to be MLB starting pitchers in 2022 would be Ryan and Winder. The others are either in AA or hurt (or in the case of Woods Richardson, missing in action).

    Reposting what Mike Sixel posted earlier. If nothing else it’s a good place to start to educate one’s self on elbow surgeries in general https://fansided.com/2017/01/30/baseballs-next-miracle-surgery/

    I thought so too. Actually I thought the batter looked fooled, looked like a late swing on an inside pitch, but good bat speed. The last hitter of the inning had a much better swing and contact on a fly ball to the fence, so call it a wash. I thought Ryan was fine. I don’t know. Looks like he has back-to-back starts lined up against Toronto later in the month, and the young Toronto lineup will get some extended looks at him. Maybe that will tell us something, maybe not. I can see why Tampa Bay traded Ryan—his fastball moves okay but he’s too dependent on it. I can also see how the fastball plays well with that deceptive arm slot. And he works fast, as a couple people pointed out in the game thread. I think he can become pretty good if he develops a secondary breaking pitch. I think the slider was better than the curve which I think is too slow to consistently fool MLB hitters.

    Is there some faulty construction here? If you are going to state what the Twins did in the playoffs, shouldn’t you state what the Dodgers did in the playoffs?
