    One last, then you can have the last word.
  2. USAFChief
    Not impressed with the new regime's pitching additions.
  3. USAFChief
    Just put it on a tee, Belisle.
  4. USAFChief
    Couldn't be hit? C'mon.
  5. USAFChief
    easy pitch to flip into left. He also took a fb down the middle on 1-1. Not up there to walk. Up there to put the ball into the OF and tie the game. RBI. They matter.
  6. USAFChief
    That's why
  7. USAFChief
    Not up there to walk, joe.
  8. USAFChief
    Awful, awful pitch. Awful.
  9. USAFChief
    Babip gods have been good to Ervin today.
  10. USAFChief
    Jay maybe. Everyone has half a dozen Gonsalves in their system.
  11. USAFChief
    Sad but true.
  12. USAFChief
    Cornell's in the Midwest League, I believe. Go Rams.
  13. USAFChief
    Woulda worked better with "the brand spanking new Foshay Tower."

    I remember the time I was so proud of USAFChiefjr...he came home from school and told Mrs Chief and I that he was the only kid in his class that could answer his math teacher's question. Fearing I might be embarrassed, given my, uh, limited math skills, I asked "and what was that question, Jr?" Beaming so brightly it hurt my eyes, he responded "Allright class...who farted?"
  16. USAFChief
    FART JOKES!!1! Awesome! I'll see if I can squeeze out a few.
  17. USAFChief
    Boston is -170, so you're getting some good odds.
  18. USAFChief
    Have I missed it...who is taking Tonkin's place? //ill supply Ash's response for him: "dunno, but not Who. Who's on first."
  19. USAFChief
    Exactly. Depending on cost, of course, even a rental gets my attention if they could legitimately slot behind Santana as the Twins second best starter.
  20. USAFChief
    But they were a legitimate contender in 2015. They went into the last weekend of the season in contention. And they also could zealously guard their entire minor league system and still not have anything close to a championship caliber MLB team, now OR in the future. That's the point...baseball is pretty hard to predict. So when you don't have to try to predict...you're IN contention, ****ing put on your big boy pants and ****ing go for it.

    A). I truly believe most prospects are overvalued. 2). Waiting around for the stars to magically align and your minor league system to provide everything you need is how you spend decades wandering the wilderness wondering why the stars magically align for other teams but never yours. D). I'm old and impatient.
  22. USAFChief
    Depending on the return, of course, I am indeed suggesting that. It's not organizational suicide, and teams do it all the time. It's one of the things that can be, should be, and often is done with prospects. Use them to win baseball games.
  23. USAFChief
    Particularly when the oft stated reason for not doing so is, "but next year, well, next year you WILL have the talent."
  24. USAFChief
    10 corners? You'd think Gibson could've hit one once in a while, by accident if nothing else.
  25. USAFChief
    I'd be all in favor if they were in contention. The problem, even if they were, is the minor league system isn't exactly brimming with the kind of prospects needed. Much less the excess prospects. Who is exciting right now in the Twins system?
