    Enough monkey business. I want to type "winnah!"
  2. USAFChief
    Braves...Twins... Has anybody heard from Biggentleben lately? I'm worried about him.
  3. USAFChief
    I concur with the column. It is difficult to have faith in an organization that doesn't have faith in itself.

    I hate giving up on seasons. I fully endorse not giving up on this year, but I think the time to strengthen the team was over the winter. And the way to do that wasn't and isn't by giving a starting job to this type of player. Now that we're in April, and the plan was to go with the OF they have, I'd prefer they just have the courage to let it play out, at least for longer than April. It would be hard to read major changes now as anything other than an admission they didnt really have faith in their opening day plan on opening day. That's not an encouraging thought.

    I would strongly concur. But I think: 1) that's a low bar to measure against, 2) TR bears at least some responsibility for the shape of the org at the end of the 2011 season, and 3) I'm not sure he has the org in position to be serious WS contenders any time soon, and 4) I don't trust him to make moves that might be necessary to get into serious WS contention.

    What context? They've won one (1) playoff series under Ryan. They went into post season games with Jason Tyner at DH. Hard to call that any kind of window.
  8. USAFChief
    Little things like more losing seasons than winning ones? Like never advancing to a WS in two decades? One post season series won? Money appearing to be an overriding concern when making decisions? Caution in the extreme, to the point of paralysis? JMO, but the moving goalposts seem to belong more to the crowd who repeat the "we'll be good as soon as ___________ and __________ get here from A ball" mantra. There were no shortage of them a couple years ago citing 2015-2016 as the first of multiple great seasons, now many of the same have moved that timeline down the road a couple years. That's frustrating so some of us, too.

    Source?
  10. USAFChief
    It saddens me a great deal that I am both old enough, and carrying around enough useless information in my head, that I got this reference without looking it up. Thanks a lot! Like the game isn't bad enough!!
  11. USAFChief
    winner.
  12. USAFChief
    I realize people have strong opinions on this, and that's fine. Please don't take it out on each other, however. We can disagree without characterizing other posters.

    This is theoretical, amIright?

    Run() please. Baby steps.

    Now back to your regularly scheduled programming: So I am trying to finish up some, ah, adult education, and just took an American Government class from a local community college. Unfortunately, I failed the final. It turns out Roe v. Wade isn't a decision on the various methods of illegally entering the US through the southern border.
  17. USAFChief
    I don't want to turn this into a bitch-about-Molitor session, but it seems to me if you're going to pick and choose when certain players are in, or out of the lineup, you'd give some consideration to the platoon advantage. Or, disadvantage.
  18. USAFChief
    Nice job, Hrbowski!
  19. USAFChief
    I'm searching for the downside.
  20. USAFChief
    Hmmm...stand in line? Or watch this $4!)-show? Easy call.
  21. USAFChief
    I would have used both Park and Nunez. We signed a RH DH, and eight games into the season he's not only not in the lineup against a lefty, he doesn't even PH in a huge spot?
  22. USAFChief
    Under no circumstances do I want to see Mastroinanni in a Twins uniform. There is not only no future in that, there is no present, either. Buxton probably needs 1000-1500 MLB ABs to settle in, if he's going to settle in. Bite the bullet and give them to him.
  23. USAFChief
    Why would I do that?? I went 0-7 against the sumbitch.
  24. USAFChief
    Watching baseball is turning into a big turn off for most of us, it would seem.
  25. USAFChief
    I particularly enjoyed the sac bunt tonight that resulted in Escobar getting an IBB, with Kepler (against a tough lefty) and Suzuki (who apparently can't be PH for, ever, for any F'ing reason under the sun) left to drive in the runs. He got seriously outmanaged in Baltimore, and he handed the Sox manager a lifeline in this case.
