    Hughes will be taking the mound in the bottom of the third. Enjoy it while it lasts.
  2. USAFChief
    I was told there'd be no math.
  3. USAFChief
    Season over.

    To the max extent possible, they should be. Castro can't catch every day, we all understand that. I haven't looked, but if Castro is in tomorrow against a LH pitcher, I shall be very put out.

    well that didn't take long.

    On short notice, Five things: 1. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true, no bull!" exclaims Daisy. 2. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either. 3. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn’t find any. 4. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says Dam!" 5. The Twins are carrying 13 pitchers. That's it. Someone please post the lineups. Thanks!!

    As noted above, down and in to a LH hitter is a danger zone. And it's pretty clear from the swing, Romine was sitting on a slider. I also agree with Brock...the main problem with that inning was hitting Martinez (on a 1-2 count) and walking Upton. I also believe all three of these issues (the GS pitch, the hit batsman, and the 5 pitch walk) are related...Gibson doesn't have swing and miss stuff, has a tendency to get himself in trouble, and when he does, has a tendency to let things escalate. He entered that inning leading 3-0. Gave up a leadoff double. OK, pitchers sometimes give up hits. Got the next out, runner advances. OK, it'd be nice to get a K here, and leave that runner at third with one out. But the main thing is...get the next hitter (Martinez). He hits a ground ball, you're still up 3-1, and the inning sits with 2 out, nobody on. But hit him, and then walk the next guy, and now you've got a situation.

    Oh, and by the way...thanks for putting permanent visual evidence of that &**#((# #*$((, &**#((#)), #)))#(#(# grand slam on TD so we can all relive it in perpetuity.

    I've long argued that basing anything on electronic pitch tracking is, at best, unproven. Including, by the way, electronic balls and strikes.

    Leave Duffey in the pen where he belongs. He can't survive as a starter with two pitches. Closer? Rather have him available for earlier in the game.
  11. USAFChief
    And only then toss it in the garbage can.

    Circus Boy gives Circus Boy a Circus Boy update. The circle of life...

    Complete and utter incompetence by Gibson. How many times does one need to see it?
  14. USAFChief
    EFF FEW Gibson.
  15. USAFChief
    1-2, hits Martinez walks Upton on 5 pitches 1-2, gives up a line drive hit This is all on Gibson.
  16. USAFChief
    Gibson has always had a knack for pitching himself into trouble.
  17. USAFChief
    Huh. Next you'll tell me it's not "Pour some shook up ramen."
  18. USAFChief
    You kids. Bottomless mimosas are ok, I guess. I like the place with bottomless waitresses.
  19. USAFChief
    He's without a contract on April 12th. To quote one of my favorites, Dwight Yoakam, "Baby, things change."
  20. USAFChief
    It bothers me our new front office couldn't see this a week ago. One of Haley, Breslow, or Tonkin should be gone immediately. I'd jettison Breslow. Leave Duffey in the pen where he has always belonged. Get Vargas here. And while we're at it, find a useful player to take the wasted spot of Danny Santana. It felt like he was in the lineup today only because Molitor has to "work guys in." He offers nothing. It should have been Park out of spring training, but if not him (I know he's got a hamstring thing right now), then go get a RH hitting OF option. Particularly since the guy who should be the RH fourth outfielder can't play OF and is somehow needed to DH.

    It was an insensitive choice of words, but I care about 1000 percent more about this administrations actions than Spicer's ability to be press secretary. Don't get lost in the weeds.
  22. USAFChief
    I didn't think you were YOUNG enough to remember Arte Johnson. Say goodnight, Dick.
  23. USAFChief
    That's a different question, isn't it? Back to the money: Does the money staying in the Pohlad's pockets help a team win a lot of games?
  24. USAFChief
    Who cares what the cost is? Why is that even a factor? Winning baseball games is the deciding factor.
  25. USAFChief
    Get down to 12 pitchers, get Danny Santana off the team. He brings nothing.
