    Perhaps the most improbable "WINNAH!" of the year, but nontheless... W I N N A H!!!11!!!1

    dear? drat? darn?

    Not something I'd have predicted would be said in any game thread, ever.
  4. USAFChief
    multi-inning appearances Fri and Sat, pretty sure he was never going to pitch today. on another note...routine first out for Milone.
  5. USAFChief
    As you wish.

    13 hopper to SS that Machado fanned on, allowing it to roll into short left field.
  7. USAFChief
    Both 'em. Escobar started that rally by not handling a ball in the hole that a big league SS has to handle.

    The thing about errands, I've learned, is they'll be there tomorrow. Not so much a Twins game.

    Raise your hand if you were wishing Plouffe would have batted in that spot instead of Nunez.
  10. USAFChief
    Are you sure? Looks like real live actors to me.
  11. USAFChief
    Each as thrilling and well played as the other, too.

    And even if you could, somehow, accurately assign a dollar value, what he was "worth" in 2007 doesn't have any relationship to what he is "worth" in 2015. Because I got a great deal on a car in 2007 doesn't mean I shouldn't care about spending way too much on maintenance today.

    Gausman simply isn't this good.
  14. USAFChief
    While you're at it, what do you call a man with no arms and legs waterskiing?
  15. USAFChief
    I give, Chi. What do you call the old man next to him?
  16. USAFChief
    Art.
  17. USAFChief
    What do you call a man with no arms and legs under a pile of leaves?
  18. USAFChief
    To get to ...the other side.
  19. USAFChief
    Two on two out...deja vu all over again.
  20. USAFChief
    Why did the suicidal chicken cross the road?
  21. USAFChief
    Cheer for moose.
  22. USAFChief
    Another horrible 0-2 pitch.
  23. USAFChief
    I don't like playing at DP positioning for LH hitters. IMO doing so puts the second baseman too close to second, and opens up too big a hole on the right side. I'd just play my normal defense, and worry less about a possible DP ball, and more about not giving up another ground ball single.

    How do you s'pose Glunn got the gig?
  25. USAFChief
    I certainly don't know the right answer. What I'm reasonably sure of is this: dismissing the idea of May as a bullpen piece out of hand because "starters are always more valuable" is a mistake. As Kab stated above, context is important. I also believe some pitchers perform at a much higher level in short appearances where their strengths can be maximized and the weaknesses minimized. So much of a higher level, that forcing them into starting lowers their value rather than increasing it. I don't know if May is such a pitcher, but I lean in that direction.
