    In play, run(s) please.
  2. USAFChief
    Got through 6, over 100 pitches, my guess is Milone is done. Can't complain about that start. He's earned the right to stay in the rotation, IMO.
  3. USAFChief
    I think multiple posters are claiming XFIP might not be the only piece of information that properly goes into making a decision like this.
  4. USAFChief
    "Challenge...accepted."
  5. USAFChief
    Does Milone come out for the 6th?
  6. USAFChief
    Did someone say bacon?? I'm hungry.

    three for seven. Can't do the math in my head, but if he can keep up that pace, I'll get out a calculator before the playoffs. EDIT: three for six, I had it right pregame: .500
  8. USAFChief
    We're not preflop any more. We're halfway through the season...in poker terms, we've at least seen the flop. At that point, your two aces may very well be behind, and calling an all in might be your last hand. Besides...the Twins have TWO aces??
  9. USAFChief
    As for number 2...Sano is an upgrade over Suzuki and Herrmann??!? Balderdash! OPS, 2015: Suzuki: .606 Herrmann: .554 Sano: .500 Case closed!

    Outstanding job again, Hosken! Thanks!

    Two more examples of "things that are not facts." These are best termed "opinions."
  12. USAFChief
    It's neither factual that the past performance of each is "luck," nor that the past isn't predictive. Those are called assertions, or theories, not facts. Luck MIGHT be a factor. I'd buy PROBABLY is a factor. IS the only factor? No. This is baseball. Neither you, I, or the folks at Fangraphs have completely figured out why things happen. And we sure as heck can't say for a fact what is, and isn't going to happen in the future. Past performance is what everyone uses tp predict the future...including you. You're just assigning different values to different parts of past performance. I think May should stay in the rotation, probably ahead of Pelfrey. But it's absolutely a close call at this point, and there are reasonable arguments for any of the three. That's the "facts," as I see them.

    Escobar still hasn't started three consecutive games at SS all year. Maybe that will change, but at least so far it's pretty obvious they don't consider him an every day SS.
  14. USAFChief
    We won today. You win one tomorrow, that's two in a row. You win the next day...that's called "a winning streak." It's been done.
  15. USAFChief
    But, but but...doubleheaders!
  16. USAFChief
    winnah!

    Fantastic job by Gibson. But if Molitor has any confidence in either of his lefties, Gibson doesn't face Hosmer. Hell, if I was managing, Perkins pitches to him. But I'm glad it worked out. Really glad!
  18. USAFChief
    If this (leaving Gibson in to face Hosmer) isn't a cry for LH relief help, I don't know what is.
  19. USAFChief
    Because Mauer. Trying to stay out of the DP... He's so prone to DP ground balls, and now so prone to K's, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
  20. USAFChief
    Can anyone imagine Gardy (or Molitor, for that matter) taking his starter out in a 1-0 game, runner on third, LH hitter at the plate, needing a K? Me neither.
  21. USAFChief
    Dozier's had some ugly ABs the last couple games.
  22. USAFChief
    Yes.
  23. USAFChief
    I don't understand playing a bad outfielder with a weak bat when Hicks could be up playing CF. At least you'd have a good outfielder with a weak bat.
  24. USAFChief
    They do? Then where are they? TR has been quoted several times in the past couple years saying they need to get LH pitching into the organization. Losing one to a rule five pick seems open to second guessing to me.
  25. USAFChief
    Gotta disagree here, Jim. It was a mistake to send down Vargas the first time. An already weak offense was deprived of its best chance at a competent DH. That he hasn't hit since his recall is irrelevant...no matter the result, running futility infielders out there as DHs is not an answer. I have no problem swapping Vargas for Sano, hope it works, but IMO this should be Vargas' first trip to the minors.
