    There is no trick to getting guys to the big leagues. Every team has 25 players on its roster. Nobody plays with 22, or 23, or 24. Every team adds minor leaguers every year. It's basically meaningless. The trick is to add minor leaguers who help win more games than the other teams.

    They could have Gee AND Kintzler.
  3. USAFChief
    Well done, Danchat!
  4. USAFChief
    Yeah, I put this more on the pitcher than the shift, or even credit to Rosario. He's not stealing home if the pitcher is in the stretch.
  5. USAFChief
    The position players everyone has been raving about for several years now are pretty much all in place. That sounds like a team ready to make a significant leap forward. If not, then they likely never will.
  6. USAFChief
    Also same conversations about Luis Rivas, Danny Santana, etc etc. Guys who "just need time" to become quality major leaguers, and who got way too many opportunities here, and then faded from baseball.

    I hate sacrificing, but that was an acceptable place, IMO. 7th inning, get the go ahead run to third, where it doesn't take a hit to score him. As it turned out, it didn't take a hit.
  8. USAFChief
    Eh...thats how you end up with Danny Santana, hoping he can someday become "league average." I think you need to aim higher than that, at every position, so that if some players DON'T reach their potential, you DO end up with league average as a fall back. What happens when you hope for league average and they don't develop? Or even if all your players do reach their potential of league average? That doesn't get you very far.

    concur. He's never been a difference maker as a hitter, I see no reason to believe he'll become one.

    thank you. The steadfast need to defend Mauer at all costs is nauseating to me. He should have been on the field yesterday, and he shares blame with Molitor And the FO for yesterday's lineup.
  11. USAFChief
    Mauer' absence was "100 percent understandable?" No. Not even 10 percent. And this coming from someone who wants less Mauer. But when Gimenez is hitting 4th, and Adrianza manning first? He needs to be on the field.
  12. USAFChief
    Lineups that do not include Escobar or Gimenez in the 3/4 holes.
  13. USAFChief
    How about Carlos Silva, 74 pitch CG? https://coffeyvillewhirlwind.wordpress.com/2009/05/19/2005-carlos-silvas-74-pitch-complete-game/
  14. USAFChief
    Not even in little league
  15. USAFChief
    Even Dick can't keep the disgust out of his voice. "...aaaand he walked him."
  16. USAFChief
    Cole Hamels is living proof why, when someone wants to trade you a really good pitcher for six minor leaguers, you do it every time. Every. Time.
  17. USAFChief
    They hit like this much longer they're gonna get stood up.
  18. USAFChief
    Sometimes, I squat down, put my arms around my legs, and lean forward as far as I can. That's just how I roll.
  19. USAFChief
    Personally, I'm not sure Mauer's an improvement over almost anyone, but over Adrianza? Yup.
  20. USAFChief
    Unbelievable. And then a clown show in left center between Rosario and Buxton.
  21. USAFChief
    Y'know, I can understand Mauer getting some time off. Especially against a LHer. Heck...I'd be in favor of Mauer getting MORE time off. But when the options available leave you with Escobar hitting third, Gimenez fourth, and Adrianza playing first base, maybe the manager needs to readjust his plan, which he said in pregame he'd been planning for a week now. For petesakes.
  22. USAFChief
    "Sabado Espectacular" Two thumbs up! Way up!!
  23. USAFChief
    winnah we need lots o' chicken tonight, Bartolo's eatin'.
  24. USAFChief
    There goes the QS.
  25. USAFChief
    That right there is what we call a "brushback pitch," spin.
