    Christ, he almost knocked it down.

    So, my son is in prison. I'm getting so old, I can't dig the garden any more, and told him so in a letter, letting him know I wished he was here to help. He wrote me back...I figured to apologize, but the letter said "Dear dad, DON'T dig the garden, that's where I hid the loot!" The next day, 15 cops come, and dig in my garden for most of two days. Next day, I get another letter..."Dear dad...is the garden dug yet? Love, you son."

    Am not.

    We'll agree to disagree.
  6. USAFChief
    It was a bad route? How so?
  7. USAFChief
    Whilst we're betwixt innings...I'm still looking for game thread vols for tomorrow and Wednesday. PM me if you can help us out.
  8. USAFChief
    Nice catch!

    Rogers at least has some history of being tough on minor league LH hitters. There's some logic to seeing if that could translate to the majors. Of course, to do that, someone would have to decide the big league bullpen is more important than the Rochester rotation.
  10. USAFChief
    As usual, the Twins are a step ahead of everyone...they've signed recently released, 39 yr old Scott Atchison to a minor league deal.

    Shuffle away, please. Shuffle like madmen. Keep shuffling. It might not work, but at the least it would give me the illusion somebody is paying attention.
  12. USAFChief
    So...what's the word on Pressly?
  13. USAFChief
    So...I'll take that to mean you'd use things other than XFIP in making your decision.
  14. USAFChief
    Since June 1st, the Twins have scored 3 or fewer runs in 21 of 32 games.
  15. USAFChief
    Francisco Liriano has a lower XFIP than both Felix Hernandez and Madison Bumgarner. If you could have one of the three, which would you want from here on out for the rest of 2015?
  16. USAFChief
    I'm pretty sure May was not available today. I either read or heard that somewhere...I think.
  17. USAFChief
    I agree with the baserunning and bunt observation. Bad, and when the hitting is weak, it gets really magnified. I also don't recall the last time they called a pitchout, and with Suzuki unable to throw out my grandmother, they've become really easy to run on, which has hurt them multiple times recently. I can recall three seperate times in recent games thinking "pitchout," but no, no pitchout, and in 2 of the 3, the runner was off and stole a base easily. On the one I was wrong, he went the next pitch. Manage the friggin' game. These things make a difference.
  18. USAFChief
    Many managers use their closer at home in that situation, but not on the road, including Yost. And Molitor.

    I completely do not understand the reluctance to try to improve the bullpen. Why the *$**(#( is Rogers still starting in Rochester, instead of having been converted to a LH reliever long ago? Why the $%**($ the reluctance to move the best of the AA bullpen to AAA 6 weeks ago, hoping to have an answer or two by now? Why did it take until a couple weeks ago to try converting Meyer to a reliever? Why, with Pressly leaving last night's game with an injury, May not available, and a tired pen already, a crucial game coming up with the team you're trying to catch, was there not someone on a plane to KC last night. Y'know...just in case you're in a tight game and you really don't want to be dealing with an already weak pen made even weaker by not having it's normal compliment of releivers? Sheesh. //rant

    Mauer...not fast.
  21. USAFChief
    To my eyes, throwing hard, but the breaking stuff doesn't seem very crisp. Which wouldn't be surprising, given the lack of actual game preperation, only 3 AAA starts.
  22. USAFChief
    Gordon with the cheapest of cheap home runs. 2-2 thru 5, CBU.
  23. USAFChief
    Santana gives up an 0-2 RBI single. To Drew Butera no less. He fits right in.
  24. USAFChief
    Hicks hasn't had great results yet this year, but to me he just looks like a much more confident, competent hitter.
  25. USAFChief
    Santana is throwing pretty hard, at the least. Good to see.
