    The bullpen has thrown 17 innings, I believe, since Friday. It has been run through.
  2. USAFChief
    Team who is trying to win: when the bullpen gets run through, they option one guy the next day and activate a replacement, so as to have at least one fresh arm in the pen. I would bet they had the activated reliever on his way to NY before last night's game ended. Team that can't be bothered: nothing.
  3. USAFChief
    yes.

    So, to review Twins decision making: in the midst of a desperate effort to remain in the WC conversation, instead of calling up their best pitching prospect to start last Friday's game on regular rest, they opt for Trevor May. He has now not pitched, outside of the 3 innings in that game, since August 9th. The bullpen is asked to pitch 17 innings since that "start," down a member. The day before that game, they lose late with a lesser bullpen member on the mound. I don't think any other team in baseball makes that decision. It was a recipe for trouble.
  5. USAFChief
    Not even the Twins think that, or he'd have been given that opportunity by now.
  6. USAFChief
    That was just about the best possible thing to have happen in that situation, a ground ball right at a drawn in infielder. 6-2-3, bingo bango, Two outs, no runs, second and third. It's even better than a K, since with two out a fly ball no longer ends the game, you can go back to playing normal depth, and as a bonus first base is open if you fall behind the next hitter.

    Well, if that's the case, then we need new management, no? Anyway, if they won't sit Hunter mulitple days in a row, they ain't gonna manufacture a reason for the DL, and sit him two weeks.
  8. USAFChief
    Instead of talking about Dave, perhaps address the point? Can the Twins win with Escobar and/or Nunez as the primary SS? I don't think they can, at least not unless the rest of the lineup is the 27 Yankees.
  9. USAFChief
    outfielders with .338 SLG's have no value. The sooner the Twins realize this, the better.
  10. USAFChief
    Well...it IS one takeaway. Neither Nunez nor Escobar are everyday big league SS's, and until the Twins fix that, they ain't winning anything, fancy mnor league system or not. EDIT: I think the Twins know that, too, which is why they tried so hard to let Santana win the job.
  11. USAFChief
    Many goats, but it boils down to Gibson giving up a 3r HR on an 0-2 count in the first, and using 107 pitches without getting an out in the 6th.
  12. USAFChief
    LOL. Eduardo Sizerhands.
  13. USAFChief
    Cool pornstache, bro.
  14. USAFChief
    ooops.
  15. USAFChief
    Having him start that game Friday night was teh stupid.
  16. USAFChief
    According to Dickbert, the Twins would rather not use him tonight.
  17. USAFChief
    My guess is we'll never know, because next spring he'll go back into Rochester's rotation and waste another year.
  18. USAFChief
    a) Hoey didn't throw 99, and That he could throw mid-90s was the only reason he even got where he did.
  19. USAFChief
    They'll wait till Buxton's hot streak is over, and call him up just in time for the inevitable slump to follow.
  20. USAFChief
    Next time someone tries to tell you velocity isn't important, show them this inning. Then take him to BBRef and show him Betances' K rate.
  21. USAFChief
    Not so much terrible as "overpowered."
  22. USAFChief
    Nice job Fien. I like the agressivness, and I like the 95-96.
  23. USAFChief
    I bet If Betances was with the Twins org, he'd still be a starter, struggling along with great stuff but poor results.
  24. USAFChief
    Is it wrong I'm terrified of an 0-2 count?
  25. USAFChief
    TD is filled with fine, right-thinking Americans. And Canucks, come to think of it.
