    Cain doesn't catch that.

    I'm making a call...Sano gets his first MLB dinger today.
  3. USAFChief
    I'm more concerned about how Ervin Santana pitches than which of May/Pelfrey is temporarily in the pen.
  4. USAFChief
    I too would role with Santana at SS. He can be maddening at the plate, but I think he's better than he's shown, and IMO he's easily the best SS defensively.

    Looking for game thread vol for the 2nd and 3rd games of the Baltimore series...anyone interested, please PM me. Thanks in advance. Gotta go, might not get back to you till later today or tomorrow.
  6. USAFChief
    We are in need of vols for both upcoming home series...PM me.

    History shows our air superiority over the British was a decisive factor!

    I know I'd be in favor of two more Perks. Do you s'pose we could find some 2009 Mauer DNA lying around while we're at it?

    They needed a K in the 9th, too, with the winning run on third and one out. Shouldn't you be arguing for Perkins in that situation instead? Or the 8th, when the tying run scored? Of all these scenarios, I think what might have made the most sense was asking Perk for a four out save, and having him pitch to Morales in the 8th. But even that is second guessing...if that's the case, he should probably have been in to face Hosmer one hitter earlier, and now it's a 5 out save. Where does it stop?

    I think Fryer is temporarily leaving Rochester to play in some tournament soon. Too lazy to look up the details. Honestly, I'm not sure he does much to significantly change the Twins anyways. All the best to Bernier, but he was always a curious member of the 40 man roster.

    I'm too lazy to look it up, but Im 99 percent sure there is a home field/court/rink advantage for all four of the major pro team sports. IIRC baseball's is actually the smallest of the four.
  12. USAFChief
    I sure hope so.
  13. USAFChief
    Concur.
  14. USAFChief
    Pretty sure the were at 39 and had a spot for Santana.
  15. USAFChief
    Don't be ridiculous, Jim. He only needs to pitch the innings where other relievers give up runs.
  16. USAFChief
    Through 2007, it looks like .539. http://www.baseball-reference.com/blog/archives/352
  17. USAFChief
    Ditto! And right back atcha!
  18. USAFChief
    When should Perkins have pitched? The 7th, 8th, and 9th?
  19. USAFChief
    Pitching 2 innings may or may not have been an option for Perkins, he's accustomed to 1 inning stints and pitched the night before. But if we're assuming Perkins could and would go 2 scoreless, then shouldn't your argument be "Perkins should have pitched the 7th and 8th innings last night."? Because arguing he should have pitched the 10th and 11th is just classic second guessing. "Perkins should have been in pitching at the moment the Twins lost the game. Not before, and not after. It was correct to use lesser relievers up to then, but not specifically then. I'm ok with Boyer, because in retrospect, he didnt give up a run."
  20. USAFChief
    Meyer didnt get much chance to show his stuff, I agree, but he didnt do anything to earn more of a chance either. He'll be back soon enough if he goes back down and dominates. FWIW I think it's unrealistic to think any manager would have put Meyer into that game last night while there were still other options.
  21. USAFChief
    Felix is an interesting name, but I admit to not having seen him pitch this year. What's to lose though?
  22. USAFChief
    "Despite being a long-term concern, it's also fair to suggest this problem may again rear its head in September. Due to his suspension. Santana is not eligible to pitch in the postseason. Should the Twins remain in the hunt, another rotation shuffle would need to take place before playoff baseball kicks off. Inserting Milone or someone else back in to Santana's spot after a demotion, and knowing production is immediately necessary, could also be a tough task." Nitpic...but this probably isn't true. The way postseasons are set up, teams rarely use five starters. Santana can pitch through the regular season end. Then, Were the Twins to make the postseason, they could simply drop Santana from the rotation and go with the other four. They would likely go with four anyway, they just wouldn't have the option of Santana being one of the four.
  23. USAFChief
    Fien?
  24. USAFChief
    It would be nice if Mauer didn't start every other AB with 2 strikes.
  25. USAFChief
    I didn't see any definitive replay, did anyone else?
