    I can't believe it's Fein and Thompson warming up and not Perkins.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes and No. With KC's bullpen, expect that 6th = 9th inning
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    no Josh Donaldson is the 3B now, and Miggy is the 1B EDIT: voting still open thru tonite
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Rosario has a great batting eye and presence-- until the count runs 3-2

    I have no idea what he said, but I concur

    DAN SAN!

    Gibson gets out of a jam that was not quite of his own making (2 weak hits and a walk) and strikes out Perez on the 1 ball, 4 strike pitch! (Sorry but I think Cederstrom should have given Gibson a couple of those pitches
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Strike zone tonight so far has been the size of a pinhole. I'm not sure you can fit a baseball through it. EDIT: though Gibson's half of the 3rd went well for us. And that's your GCU: your Gary Cederstrom Update. Somehow I don't think that will catch on

    I don't view it as controversial, but more of just punting on a decision. Two weeks isn't a big deal. Either May or Pelfrey should go to the pen though. The pen needs their help. The Twins are more than welcome to become innovators but I dont think the rest of the league will be following them anytime soon. Over a season it will cost a starting pitcher a half dozen starts. Unless what drjim said above and a team can use a guy in relief on his throw day.

    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
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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........
  15. 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
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Chance to hit, too
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think May goes to the bullpen when Santana returns next week. May is getting drilled far too often.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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.

    E for Effort

    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
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Finally!
  22. 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
