    So, my granddaughter's birthday is coming up, and I'm a little too old to know what the kids like these days. Somebody recommended the new "Divorced Barbie"...what do ya'll think about that as an idea. Apparently, it comes with all of Ken's stuff.

    Personally, if this gets any more ugly, I'd be fine with May not getting into tonight's game, and for sure not going more than an inning. Save him for when it might make a difference. Let Duensing and Boyer take their lumps if it gets to that.

    I did'nt, but in my defense, it was travelling pretty GD fast.
  5. USAFChief
    Because the most likely effect was to make the game 6-3 instead of 7-3.
  6. USAFChief
    Well, that got out of hand quickly. I mean that really escalated.

    SOMEbody's yanking Duffey's fastball, that's fersure.
  8. USAFChief
    No. Please rephrase in the form of a question. Let me domonstrate: "Weill throwing a fastball past Tulo at 3-1 give Duffey confidence or false confidence?"

    A sac bunt? A gift, for us all.
  10. USAFChief
    a gift for ya'll.

    it was askin' a lot to think these old eyes could read the first one... well played sir.
  12. USAFChief
    touche I'd still rather pitch to Robinson, cause all I'd have to do is throw him strikes.
  13. USAFChief
    headed down, though.
  14. USAFChief
    We got three, right? Duffey's ERA is under 3, right? Game. Over.
  15. USAFChief
    If you're a major league pitcher...say a right handed one...would you rather face Shane Robinson, or Oswaldo Arcia?
  16. USAFChief
    Let that be a lesson to ya's...one must arise preeeetttttyyyyyyy early in the afternoon to beat chief to the punch.
  17. USAFChief
    in play, run(s)!!1!
  18. USAFChief
    I would start by targeting a youngish catcher. I think that probably best combines need and lack of internal candidates. I don't have a name, though.
  19. USAFChief
    None of those matter, looking backward. None of them. Looking backward, the only thing that determines wins and losses are runs. Make your case that, going forward, he will give up more runs. You have such a case to make. But what his K total was, in yesterday's game, is meaningless in discussing how many runs he gave up. We already know how many he gave up. And we know how that compares to other pitchers. BTW, I'm aware of your thoughts as well. As long as you keep posting them, I reserve the right to dispute them.
  20. USAFChief
    There has to be more, no?
  21. USAFChief
    Looking backward, ERA is 100 percent better than anything in your post as a measure of what wins baseball games. Looking forward, you might have a point. Using "advanced metrics" to predict the past, however, doesn't seem particularly useful to me.
  22. USAFChief
    Fantastic job, BK! Thank you.
  23. USAFChief
    OK, I'll bite, bird. What IS the strategy? The many positive steps? What weaknesses have they actually addressed? I'll give you throwing a medium amount of dollars at starting pitching. Besides that?
  24. USAFChief
    One problem is they don't have much else to shop. Any talk of trading from the minor leagues causes people around here to gasp. Paying market rate for free agents the same. That leaves trades. Who else can bring anything?
  25. USAFChief
    You say that like its a good thing.
