    Polanco is vastly overrated around here. His last (and only) really good minor league season was in Elizabethton. Decent in low A, pedestrian after that.

    I think I'm off to bed while I can still imagine the bullpen holding onto a 1 run lead. g'night all.
  3. USAFChief
    Puig is 6-9 in this series.
  4. USAFChief

    How does Puig not take at least one fastball to the ribs every series?

    "wandering to hospital."

    Glunn is lurking. Glunn: in honor of your first ever game thread post from a smart phone, I thought you might join the rest of society and start texting as well. Just a warning. Texting involves the use of lots of shortened, commonly used phrases that end up as a string of letters. "WTH" you say? LOL! Anyway, I thought this might be useful for you: http://i3.cpcache.com/product/1633897975/senior_texting_code.jpg?height=350&width=350&qv=90&AttributeValue=Poster&Size=16x16

    No. there were two outs edit: ninja'd,

    The reports are really only mixed if you listen to those with an...agenda. Although I do agree about Roberts not coming out to home plate, but I have zero problem with him coming out last night to point out Molitor's screw up. I'd want Molitor to do the same thing.
  13. USAFChief
    Looked like it. My guess is "Roberts doesn't have the ***** to come out here tonight? Bush league." You ****** up, Molly. Just own it.
  14. USAFChief
    He attacked a pitch before there were two strikes. Be still my beating heart.

    Holland was the opposite of a known-to-be dominant pitcher? He was returning from surgery, but he wasn't the opposite of dominant prior to that. They don't need to pay the closer premium, but that doesn't mean they can't find, and sign or trade for, good to dominant relievers.
  16. USAFChief
    Three games in a row with Eduardo Escobar hitting cleanup. That's roughly equivalent to Jason Tyner at DH.
  17. USAFChief
    "Remember, you just need solid arms to get to the really good guys." I don't think that's at all true. In fact, that's what they have THIS year. Instead, Every reliever in the pen will pitch meaningful, high leverage innings, and that includes guys you bring up from the minors. It's just the nature of baseball. You are not going to be able to only use 2 or 3 guys in close games, and the other guys when it doesn't matter. If you want a good bullpen, it CANNOT be only a couple guys deep.
  18. USAFChief
    I am approximately the same distance from home plate tonight. Unfortunately, it's the home plate on the TV in my house.
  19. USAFChief
    No.
  20. USAFChief
    I think it's always unreasonable to depend on players who have no demonstrated big league competence, no matter the position. If they only add one proven reliever for next year, that will be another mistake, particularly since Kintzler might not be here. Only one of the four named above is even pitching right now, no? I doubt more than one even makes the team out of spring training, if that.
  21. USAFChief
    Only my opinion, but this will result in another terrible bullpen. This has been the plan for years now...
  22. USAFChief
    Young players like Bellinger?
  23. USAFChief
    Please explain how the umpires "handled it horribly." Specifically.
  24. USAFChief
    C'mon, Spin. Hard to say who screwed up? Roberts notices it immediately, the thing is reviewed for 20 minutes, and Molitor meekly accepts the outcome. It's not hard to to say. And blaming the "system" is even worse. Molitor messed up. If that's ok with you, fine. But don't blame others who actually did their job, and don't blame a system that works just fine and has done so for 150 yrs.
  25. USAFChief
    It wasn't the umpires fault. Molitor screwed up, then wouldn't admit it post game. If it was the umpire's mistake, don't you think Molitor reacts differently during the game? Sheesh. And don't blame Roberts, either. He did exactly what he should have, and what I'd want Molitor to do. This is big league baseball, not little league.
