    Just sit on a first pitch curve on this guy and you can hit .600 off him.
  2. USAFChief
    I say we ban him. Ash? Diehard? Nick?

    I don't know...I kinda like the dark gray AZ road's.

    In my opinion it's the "the Twins might consider trading Santana" ship that sailed. He'll be here next year. And quite honestly he should be.

    As I recall it, Chief traditionally posts "winnah" after, uh, a win. Somehow, someone naturally took that a step further to "chicken dinner." And the rest is history.

    Then they are effectively playing with a 24 man roster while clinging to a chance for the second wild card. This is what I mean when I say be more ruthless. Couldn't they could find a way to wait until September when they have extra roster spots to play with?

    You could see on TV Buxton wasn't calling the ball. And he needs to call it, to avoid just what happened. Basic baseball stuff, for some reason Buxton didn't do.

    Rogers, Rogers, Rogers... I want to like you, why won't you let me?
  9. USAFChief
    Go rogue.
  10. USAFChief
    That's completely unfair. Lots of managers find a way to limit their LOOGYs exposure to RH hitters in high leverage situations. You've never seen a team have more than one reliever up in the pen? Make more than one pitching change in an inning?

    i don't see any chance Dozier is a future Twins first baseman.
  12. USAFChief
    That's what I was thinking. How was that even close?
  13. USAFChief
    Sigh...

    God awful baserunning from Mauer.
  15. USAFChief
    Jim...he used a Pressly that night anyway.
  16. USAFChief
    Seriously? You're better than this, Jim. He doesn't have great options, but that doesn't excuse not using the ones he has in the best possible manner. In fact, just the opposite. He needs to try to squeeze every ounce out of what few options he has. I won't fault him for Pressly not getting a job done, if Pressly is the best option. Boshers wasn't.
  17. USAFChief
    It was 3-1 Jim, in a fairly important game. With a pen coming off an off day. That's a bad move.
  18. USAFChief
    Call me crazy, but I don't consider "failure to look two hitters ahead" to be a compelling defense. I don't remember if there was a RHer warmed or not, but either way it's no excuse for Boshers giving up a 3 run jack. And I DO know there was at least one RHer available, because Pressly pitched later that night. In an 8-1 game, which is another point not in Molitors favor.
  19. USAFChief
    Thanks as always for the help SSOO! Much appreciated. For everyone else...there are still August game thread opportunities available. Jump on em!
  20. USAFChief
    concur...had to be more than that, no?
  21. USAFChief
    That was not a professional effort today.
  22. USAFChief
    This will sound mean, but here goes anyway. IMO, working to overcome injury is part and parcel of the privilege of getting paid to play major league baseball. You get no extra credit from me for that. I'll celebrate a veteran coming back from losing his leg to an IUD to return to active duty. A person battling cancer, and winning. A single mom, through sheer determination, overcoming her disadvantages to make a home for her kids. I want the Twins to operate like a ruthless machine. This is professional baseball, it's a zero sum game. Wins...or losses. No participation trophies. A player should be on the Twins because he's the best they have, and should always be subject to replacement if the teams gets a better player. I wish no ill will toward Perkins, but he has no business being on this team right now. He hasn't earned it.
  23. USAFChief
    The sheer ineptitude of today's game is breathtaking. From Gibson, to the baserunning, to Sano trying to barehand a ball that he didn't need to, to fake bunts that get runners picked off second, to Molitor's questionable bullpen usage, to hitter's squeezing sawdust out of the bat handle they're so nervous every time there are RBI opportunities, it's been a...wait for it...total system failure.
  24. USAFChief
    We have runners on first and second, hit a ball high off the wall in right center, and have runners on first and second with 1 out, no runs. You couldn't even pull that off in T ball.
  25. USAFChief
    LOL.
