    I'm at the game, btw.
  2. USAFChief
    Has Mauer gotten a big hit in the last five years? I'm so tired of him.
  3. USAFChief
    Thanks Blake, great job!

    Not being used when the game is on the line means the manager has fewer options when the game is on the line. It means the pitcher isn't good enough for MLB. It means he should be replaced with someone who IS good enough to pitch with the game on the line.

    I've been steadfastly against an automated strike zone. I've changed my mind. Do it.
  6. USAFChief
    This in itself is proof that Breslow needs off the roster.
  7. USAFChief
    There's your run, Gibby. Bring it home.
  8. USAFChief
    Still need game thread volunteers for July 8, 9, 19, 22, 23, and 26. We've never not had a game, to the best of my knowledge, in the long and storied history of TD. Ask not what TD can do for you, ask what you can do for TD! (SICK Boston tie-in, Chief!) PM Chief and Chitown with the date(s) you want.
  9. USAFChief
    False.
  10. USAFChief
    Bilateral?

    The complaint on Breslow isn't that he is used mostly in mopup. The complaint on Breslow is that he gives up too many base runners, hence runs, and K's too few hitters. The complaint is, he's not someone who helps win games.
  12. USAFChief
    How about we use the metrics of base runners allowed and runs allowed? Then there are different outcomes between Boshers and Belisle.

    I've copied this so I can post it every few days.

    Average-ish Utley put up a .465 OPS in the 2016 NLDS and a .143 OPS in the NLCS. They've been vulnerable to left hand pitching. Utley hasn't SLG'd .400 since 2014. The Dodgers could really use Dozier. They will, I believe, regret their decision.
  15. USAFChief
    The Dodgers weren't trading for Dozier to win the NL West. If they win the WS, perhaps they'll be vindicated. If second base is a gaping hole, and they again get exposed in the postseason, I wonder how happy they'll be with their prospects.

    How many managers let Gimenez hit in that situation? Down one, Mauer available, late innings, tieing run in scoring position, RH reliever brought in that has to pitch to at least one hitter? Castro available to catch, btw. The over/under is 1.5. I'll take the under. Monumentally bad managing.
  17. USAFChief
    We've been reading since at least 2015 that the Twins don't need to find bullpen help, because it's right around the corner. Just be patient, and by next year Reed/Burdi/Chargois/Bard/etc/etc/etc will be here and be teh awesome. Maybe even sooner! It's folly, just as depending on minor leaguers always is. Never depend on minor leaguers to succeed. If one or two or ten even, force their way onto the big league team, great. Too much talent has never been a problem.
  18. USAFChief
    If Polanco moved the runners, THEN Molitor would've pinch hit for Gimenez? First, that makes no sense at all, in isolation. You need to send up Mauer there, no matter what. There's a high probability that's your best chance at tieing or taking the lead, very high chance. You have to send up Mauer, and if he's walked, ok. Second, he just negated his own reasoning for not PHing...not wanting to go that long with one catcher. That "reason" is unchanged based on what Polanco does.
  19. USAFChief
    That WAS Matt Belisle, and there's no such thing as too much scotch.
  20. USAFChief
    "Reference too old" is not likely to be a problem here, friend.
  21. USAFChief
    Is that where the ballpark is?
  22. USAFChief
    I'm going to Kansas City. Kansas City here I come.
  23. USAFChief
    New forum rule: "Twinsnorth49" and "thong" cannot be referenced in the same post. Ever.
  24. USAFChief
    Nothing makes me happier Than a haiku jam But you two still leave me sad.
  25. USAFChief
    If, indeed, he wasn't ever used on back to back days, I do not believe that's accidental. That's part of the standard required of relievers, and he would have been expected to demonstrate that ability.
