    By the by, I also don't agree that umpires ignore "pitchers putting pine tar on the ball." Is it possible you have an ax to grind?
  2. USAFChief
    He's not going to a set position. He is in a windup.
  3. USAFChief
    1. It can not be a balk with nobody on base, so rule that out. 2. I see nothing in the movement that is in violation of the windup rule, so why would it be illegal?
  4. USAFChief
    A Plouffe trade can be rationalized for a team trying to win in 2016. A Dozier trade cannot.
  5. USAFChief
    Do you consider 2015 to have been a success? If so, why? If not, why? What are the goals you would like to achieve to consider 2016 a success?
  6. USAFChief
    Congrats Mets. 52-50 at one point this season.
  7. USAFChief
    Pfffft. All the throws were humpbacks to the off side. Few long balls, and the ones he did try were just barely enough...10 yard line power. He always waited until he was behind the chains two downs before throwing. No leadership in the huddle.

    Robinson-type* 4th OFers were a necessary evil when the Twins had to worry about who was going to play CF. That's not much of an issue going forward, and I hope the extra OFer is someone who can hit. Either give Arcia a shot or find a FA with some pop. *i need a Blyleven fix every so often once the season ends

    No, Im too lazy. But off the top of my head, just in RH HOFers in my lifetime, I can think of Pedro Martinez, Tom Seaver, Catfish Hunter, Greg Maddux, and Bob Gibson all 6'1" or less. It's just my opinion, but height would be low on my list of things that are important in a pitcher.
  10. USAFChief
    And when the exceptions get too numerous, it's time to question the rule.

    Look at that still frame. It's clear Gant is deliberately and violently kneeing poor Hrbek in the midsection, and should have been ejected! Perhaps even had his children taken away. But Hrbek, and most Twins fans have put the past behind, and have come to forgive and forget. I hope someday you can do the same.

    Not to mention, these awards were voted on BY THE BASEBALL WRITERS. They seem to have no problem with how Hunter treats them.
  13. USAFChief
    Not to mention, what is the actual difference in "downward plane" between a guy 5'10" and a guy 6'10" from 60 ft away? Can't be much.
  14. USAFChief
    If your plan is to build your way out of a rebuild, that's going to really hurt even a short run of success. "Make your own ace(s)" sounds great, but isn't something you can just choose to do. Buying one, however,is relatively easy.
  15. USAFChief
    I'd spend the money. The Twins can afford it, and otherwise it'll just go unspent.
  16. USAFChief
    I am officially declaring Willi the WINNER! See you next spring.
  17. USAFChief
    Concur.
  18. USAFChief
    Except the original quote specifically says everything on his list is more important than winning a WS. I do not believe all 30 MLB teams agree. I think some owners value winning over profit, some don't.
  19. USAFChief
    I agree the Twins won't go to $130m. However, I see no reason they couldn't.
  20. USAFChief
    So you're really NOT Mike Wants Wins?
  21. USAFChief
    It's possible you misread. Let me clear it up for you... I recommend, if you see this movie, do so highly.
  22. USAFChief
    Mrs Chief and I took in BridgeOf Spies last night. Highly recommended!
  23. USAFChief
    how were you able to determine this?
  24. USAFChief
    I would concur the Twins, as an organization, are not primarily focused on winning the WS. But I view that as a weakness, not a strength. And not a weakness shared by all 30 MLB teams.
  25. USAFChief
    Then go back in time, and don't sign Nolasco. Mind...blown.
