    That's just about the worst play in baseball. 2 on 2 out, tieing run at the plate, and you try to bunt for a hit. That's just...awful.

    He got extra credit for being a catcher. Why wouldn't he get extra demerits for being a first baseman? And forgive me for not being impressed that he's not a below-replacement player. THAT's the defense? While I'm at it, if you're going to credit him for a 106 OPS+ last year, I think it's fair for the rest of us to point out his 98 OPS+ the year before, as well as not having a SLG over .400 since 2013.

    But still can't drive in Dozier from 2nd.

    So as I said on the Easter Sunday thread, I had my family over. My son in law and I were talking, and my granddaugher was listening in. "So how's your health, Chief" he asked. "Well, everything is going just great. I just had a checkup, and I was able to tell the doc that I'm truly blessed. Feeling great, and the Lord has seen fit to bless me recently. Every time I get up in the night to go to the bathroom, he lights up the room for me." "Grandma," yelled my granddaughter, "I think I figured out where the smell in the refrigerator is coming from!"

    AGAIN with the math. Holy cow, people!

    PHC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3VsqSLnJFU&index=3&list=PL8ufCCC-rPct2uaqubO2g9P7RG1flNXfs Let's hope she's not referring to the 2017 Twins.

    Whether the results would improve is surely debatable. But I don't think there's any question he could change his approach some, if he was willing.

    PHC style. Nice! Well done SSOO

    I just hope it's soon. I have a bet with someone about the number of days with a 13 man staff, and I'm getting worried.

    Levi, you live in Phoenix, right? You get 160 Dbacks games on basic cable with FSAZ.
  11. USAFChief
    Yes. Please.
  12. USAFChief
    He's 29. Marginal stuff, compounded by spotty command. What is it anyone is hoping he becomes at this point?
  13. USAFChief
    Perhaps we need to change the Mauer-Bumgarner HR thread to XBHs. Make it fairer for Joltin' Joe.

    Hey...how 'bout them Twins?
  15. USAFChief
    Yup, even if you just watch Twins games and no other team, at $130 that's less than $1 per game. As someone who had to do without Twins games for a long time (my mother in law used to record a couple games off radio onto cassette tapes and mail to me in Okinawa) I am more than happy just to have options.

    I was calling Hicks a great fourth OFer candidate long ago. The Yankees seem to agree. He takes decent ABs, and can play all three OF spots. Runs well, has some pop. Terrible trade.
  17. USAFChief
    If Aaron Hicks is in right field today, they're still playing.
  18. USAFChief
    Would you trade Aaron Hicks for Danny Santana? I thought so. Because Aaron Hicks would look pretty good right now as a fourth OFer. It was a terrible trade then, its a terrible trade now, and it'll be a terrible trade next year. You don't give up a player with Hicks' tools for a backup catcher (who can't even win THAT job), ever.
  19. USAFChief
    FTFY.

    Breakfast brunch with two of my three kids, two of four grandkids...bisquets and gravy, scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage, fresh baked bread for toast, fruit, mimosas, and maybe some afternoon baseball/nap time!

    I think there's a lot of truth in that. I might say it's also a characteristic that good teams have multiple players good enough to get hot and make a huge difference for a week or two, while "sucking" for only short and infrequent periods. One of the reasons I want another hitter in the lineup (Park and/or Vargas) and Grossman mostly in the OF is just that...one more guy theoretucally capable of periods of dominance, while removing a weak link.
  22. USAFChief
    I felt coming out of spring training that there was a very good chance the Twins could be WC contenders this year. The pitching might need to overperform, but the everyday lineup is either good enough for that, or they might never be.
  23. USAFChief
    No.
  24. USAFChief
    You're doing it wrong.
  25. USAFChief
    I think it's difficult to look for a pitch to pull when you are behind in the count. The time to get out in front of a pitch is early in the count, when you dont have to protect. Look for a pitch, and attack it. Don't let so many PAs go by that start 0-1, 1-2. Start drilling line drives to right, and then there will be some real estate available for those two strike flares to left.
