    No, really. It's true. It's being called the herd shot 'round the world.
  2. USAFChief
    It's currently under investigation.

    Did you hear that NASA recently sent up a rocket filled with milk cows?

    Ah, I looked so young. Misty watercolor memories.

    I doubt Granite is here for long, and I doubt he gives a **** about missing the AAA All Star Game if it means he's in Minneapolis.
  7. USAFChief
    I'd wager he holds up nobody. He's not going to be in Rochester long, 2 or 3 starts max. After that, he's either in Minneapolis or released.

    Fun with numbers: Bartolo Colon was the starting pitcher for Cleveland in Paul Molitor's last major league game. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIN/MIN199809270.shtml

    http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Bartolo+Colon+New+York+Mets+v+Cincinnati+Reds+uBmljwHqkzgl.jpg I wonder if Bartolo still has perspiration issues?

    I wonder how long Polanco holds onto his starting SS gig. I lose more faith in him weekly.

    Great job, gocgo! Much appreciated.

    It probably is, but I am far from convinced xfip does that.
  14. USAFChief
    Or XFIP isn't a very good measure of anything useful.

    It's weird...many of the same posters who daily lament the state of the bullpen are the same ones who argue against the Twins taking actual steps to improve it. "Don't trade...wait for magical internal improvement" isn't a very good plan.

    Calhoun's intention was to stop short of second. That was by design.

    A double steal like that is basically the Angels intentionally running themselves out of the inning, but betting the Twins will be surprised and/or incapable of executing the defense. Two runners are in no man's land while the defense possesses the ball. It should be an out every time, with no run scored, provided the defense reacts properly. That it worked is disturbing, mostly because it sure looks like the Twins were caught by surprise. IMO, while one can point fingers in several directions for blame, the primary thing I take from it is another data point that says Molitor is a really poor game manager. We should be thanking Scosia for the free out, instead of lamenting a cheap and important run allowed.

    Don't try this at work.

    Say hi to Aunt Gladys from all of us, Bri.
  20. USAFChief
    I don't know, and I don't care!
  21. USAFChief
    Welcome, Blake. BTW, many thanks for all the help!
  22. USAFChief
    done.

    I don't think the rotation is to blame for the bullpen woes. Other teams have rotation issues, but still find a way to have multiple quality arms in the pen. Starting pitching is in short supply most everywhere. You can't build a staff from within. "The right way." You pay, and you trade. You don't say "don't sign relievers because you'll block all those minor league stars to be." Don't say "relievers are easy to find, don't spend on multi year contracts." It's probably too late for this year, but I will lose all faith in Falvine if there aren't actual steps this winter to improve the pitching.

    Good an, joe
  25. USAFChief
    And Grossman butchered that fly ball down the line.
