    That escalated quickly.
  2. USAFChief
    Good decision, and good throw.
  3. USAFChief
    No that was Henny.
  4. USAFChief
    Phil just does NOT have a pitch that can get a swing and miss.
  5. USAFChief
    False. I never think. She'll confirm that, though, I'm confident.

    Sano hasn't distinguished himself against a pretty ordinary LHer tonight either. Need more from those two.

    You'll just have to take my word for this...I took a break to eat supper, and as Buxton came up I was thinking to myself..."self, this is an excellent matchup for Buxton, he's going deep here." I would have posted it had I been here. I swear. So I'm taking credit for calling it.

    So's we're playin' Colorado, huh? I once heard University of Colorado graduates proudly displayed their diplomas on the dashboards of their cars. I figured it was so they could park in handicap spots.

    We can't be held responsible for your poorly developed sense of humor.
  10. USAFChief
    I slay me.
  11. USAFChief
    Yes.

    Deffey is in the Twins pen. Jay is a reliever. The rest range from pretty bad to pretty mediocre to pretty injured. There might eventually be some bullpen help there, agreed, although we've been waiting for that for 2 years now, with no immediate end in sight.
  13. USAFChief
    I hope you're right.
  14. USAFChief
    Would it also be totally off base to currently consider Stewart and Jay good picks? To me, the current Twins MILB system looks pretty bereft of high end talent. The system has time to recover, for sure, but right now? If you're pointing out Kohl Stewart, struggling along at Chattanooga with awful numbers, as an example of a good pick, seems to do more to weaken your point than strengthen it.

    Not if you're studying MLB draft picks. You get much more recent than that, the picks haven't had time to succeed or fail.

    Twitter! What is it good for? Nothin'! Say it again. Twitter! Good God, ya'll.

    mod note: This thread is starting to wander down the path of attacking others, not ideas. Wander back on track, please.

    Not diving headfirst (and wallet first) into Intl FAs has been a huge, penny wise and pound foolish mistake, IMO.
  19. USAFChief
    Spot on. That's what kills me...how can a Boston have so much minor league talent, compared to the Twins? That's not just luck.
  20. USAFChief
    looked like Kepler hesitated before breaking for home. Awful baserunning...you break on contact, thereby eliminating the chance of exactly what happened. Either the first baseman comes home, and the hitter is safe, or he gets the out at first, and the runner scores. But don't hesitate, then break for home. Simple, basic, fundamental baseball.

    At this point, Duffey's role is pretty well defined. He's a 1 to 2 inning guy, 7th inning or earlier. He's been used for more than 2 IP only twice, and not since the season's first two weeks. Almost exclusively used in games where the Twins are up or down 2 runs or less, so he's not a mopup guy. I could easily see that usage pushed back an inning or two if he remains better than Belisle. In any case, he's going nowhere. He's young and he's been pretty effective.
  22. USAFChief
    Hold em there, get the bats going. It's Trevor Bauer for pete's sake.
  23. USAFChief
    You start with Wilk or Haley. Duffey isn't going anywhere, and is not a long man. 2 inning guy, maybe, but he's been their best or second best reliever, so why would you remove him. Breslow is 3rd on the list, and there's room for a LOOGY anyway.
  24. USAFChief
    Another great job Van! Your mom did great.
  25. USAFChief
    The answer to that is...replace the deadweight with a couple guys usable in a tight game. Concur with a Levi above, let's get Burdi here.
