    I think I also read than Vargas is actually going to Rochester not Chattanooga, so not sure if the Chattanooga rumor was an administrative hitch that the media spotted and blew out of proportion, or if it was a brief but intentional signal to Vargas by the front office, or what. I am not opposed to Vargas playing the rest of the year in the minors. But from my point of view, Danny Santana was getting those Vargas at bats and Santana belongs in the minor leagues much more than Vargas does.

    Way too soon to call Vargas unsalvageable. Ortiz was about 25 or 26 when he really started to look like a professional hitter, and then another year or two before he became dominant. I don't want to see Vargas turn into another Ortiz in another organization. Same with Arcia. Vargas has better numbers than Danny Santana this year, even with less opportunity, so I've got to think there is more to this shocking (to me) demotion than just performance.

    Kids, don't try this at home: http://mlb.mlb.com/images/6/9/4/126039694/052215_laa_trout_steal_med_70c05br4.gif http://m.mlb.com/cutfour/2015/05/22/126045872/watch-trout-pull-off-one-of-the-best-slides-this-year

    I owe you a favor for having you go through with that AND for preempting you. And I can see by the time stamps that it took you LESS time than it took me

    Actually, on second thought, this doesn't look that fun, sorry........ ERA = ER / IP * 9 A pitcher would need to surrender 1,108 earned runs over 45 innings to have an ERA of 221.6 Yes I'm embarrassed I bothered to calculate that........
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Trivia: If a pitcher DID have an ERA of 221.6 ... what would the number of innings pitched and earned runs be? EDIT: actually there is an infinite number of solutions Just answer what the lowest reducible number of IP and Earned runs would be

    Chance to hit, too

    I think May goes to the bullpen when Santana returns next week. May is getting drilled far too often.

    I thought I heard Molitor on the pregame saying he wanted to use Meyer in long relief. Graham has done just fine as long reliever though.

    Maybe Buxton sensed he was going to be thrown out on that play (he was right) and then just panicked a little, trying to make a play. Was one of his wrist injuries last year on the base paths? A single injury doesn't seem like a big deal but at some point the trend is concerning
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Finally!
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It's odd that Buxton has been thrown out on 2 of 3 of his steal attempts. You'd think that on speed alone he'd get down there. Or that the coaching staff would have a better guess on which pitches to send him or whether he's comfortable enough getting good jumps yet. Probably not. Heck maybe he should just take off the moment the pitcher flinches and if it turns out to be a pick off move to first, make the first baseman rush the throw down to second. Guys a lot slower than Buxton have occasionally stolen second on the pickoff move. Which gets back to the point that guys batting with Buxton on base figure to see more fastballs. Buxton got caught tonight on a called strike when the game was still close and it took the bat out of Rosario's hands. Of course, the way the bullpen is going, it probably didn't matter in this game.

    It's Kasota gold---it's obvious you're not one of us https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasota_limestone

    more chicken dinner

    bullpen for Buxton??

    In other news, Assistant GM Rob Antony just found out about Kris Bryant from the Cubs, so Antony logged in to his Yahoo fantasy baseball team (from his work computer---dangerous) to put in a waiver claim, but Bryant was already taken!
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Dad bod to blame?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hopefully the pitching staff will continue to give us good starts while the offense gets back on track. We are already seeing Plouffe getting better at bats. The starting pitchers should also consider this a tryout, since Santana will be returning soon. Tonight's the night we turn it around!

    Another sign his head isn't in the right place is his decisions in the field. On Monday night the pitcher squared to bunt in a sacrifice situation and lined a hard bunt on an easy hop to Mauer who was already rushing in to field it. Joe had an eternity to pivot and throw to 2nd to force the lead runner and I'm sure Suzuki was yelling second base. (Actually I'm not sure about that.) Instead, Joe waited for the pitcher to jog up the line further and then eventually applied a tag. Maybe Suzuki didn't call the right base. Maybe Joe has self-doubt about making that 270 degree pivot and long throw to second. Maybe he forgot the game situation once the ball was put in play. Either way, Mauer's baseball sense didn't seem to be working on that play.

    Alright who is bold enough to predict a ground ball double play
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Idle game thread comment, interrupted by game action. I hate that!
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I will sell you something between innings. Just send me your credit card info, and we'll figure out the product later.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
