    I'd have rolled with him to start the 7th today even if he was called up 4 days ago. I pretty much KNOW Fien is a risky option, with limited stuff. He will throw strikes, but he's going to need the ball to be hit at somebody. I'd prefer the possibly risky option. Berrios might come in and have no control, but he might come in and get 2 K's and a weak popup. But we'll never know.

    How about we started when May made that 3 inning spot start, on a night which just happened to coincide with Berrios' next start. From which, you start working him into a more and more important bullpen role. From which, best case, Fien isn't blowing a game in the 7th today. Worst case, Fiend is blowing a game in the 7th today.

    Give, maybe. Lend? No.

    Passion over a baseball game is ridiculous, but psychoanalysis over the internet is rational? ok.

    Fien, Tonkin, Achter. Jorge. O'Roarke.
  6. USAFChief
    FTFY.
  7. USAFChief
    Why in heaven's name do you let Fien pitch to a LH pinch hitter, with multiple LH relievers in the pen?
  8. USAFChief
    A bullpen role would be the only possibility at this point. And as drjim points out, a 2-3 inning role would have been perfect.

    The more I see of Rosario, the less I like.

    There's few examples of 21 yr olds getting called up?

    Which sounds to me like MLB umpires do a damn fine job. Very few plays are reviewed, and half of those are overturned.

    I send Buxton there every time. Two outs, and I don't care who is up next. The chances of two good throws are much lower than the chance he scores if you hold him.
  13. USAFChief
    In the larger sense, some umps are better than others of course, but overall MLB umpires are pretty darn good. Easily the best of the major sports. NFL officiating, for example, is orders of magnitude worse than MLB. And for Pete's sake, NBA officiating is horrific.

    There is often a louder cheer at TF for Hunter than Mauer.
  15. USAFChief
    Let there be no complaining about Boyer and/or Fien protecting a one run lead, or blowing an extra inning game. None.
  16. USAFChief
    He won't be in the rotation to break camp because, if nothing else, letting him spend a couple weeks in Rochester guarantees another year of control. You, of all people, should understand that.
  17. USAFChief
    I thought tonight's HP umpire was fantastic.
  18. USAFChief
    I doubt there's another team in baseball that, in the Twins position, wouldn't have found a way to get Berrios into a post season chase.
  19. USAFChief
    Give it up for Tommy Milone, ladies and germs!
  20. USAFChief
    At the least, Berrios better not make the rotation out of spring training. If you're not going to use him this year, at least delay him a few weeks to get another year.
  21. USAFChief
    If I'm coaching, I tell Buxton to swing at the first pitch. He's in an 0-2 hole so often, it's difficult to maintain any confidence. Go up there looking for a strike, and try to hit it hard.
  22. USAFChief
    I have a blind friend, and he was complaining to me he can't see his friends. ... He's married.
  23. USAFChief
    Tonight's straight line. Step up to the plate, boys and girls, and take a hack.
  24. USAFChief
    I'm off on Wednesday's. Home early after working overtime.
  25. USAFChief
    6 good innings from Milone tonight. Book it.
