    It helps me to remember none of these are him.

    3rd multi-run inning of the season for our Twins. Already.

    Ick. And the food doesn't sound very appealing, either.
  5. USAFChief
    Yes.

    "I'll be at church (when the lineups are announced)." Most of us just close our eyes. Your plan seems more promising.
  7. USAFChief
    Concur. They have not looked like a team ready for a big league season, regardless the talent level. Not ready to compete.
  8. USAFChief
    Geez, I hope not.

    Mastroianni has a grand total of 306 big league plate appearances, 32 since leaving the Twins. .212/.274/.289. I don't think he was a reasonable big league starter any more than Schafer. Placeholders aren't the answer.
  10. USAFChief
    1. See JB's response above. 2. If this season isn't going to be decided by who's in CF, why should we think future seasons will be? 3. I'm not ok with wasting seasons with "placeholders." In addition to the problem JB succinctly pointed out, I personally expect more than that. I don't believe in rebuilds, it shouldn't take that long, and rebuilds rarely work.. And even if you are a fan of rebuilds, a placeholder does nothing for you now, and nothing for your rebuild. At the least, if you can't put a good player out there, find someone who might someday be a good player. That's not Schafer, and it's not Robinson.

    I'd have to agree that Meyer doesn't appear to me to be ready to be an asset in the rotation yet. I don't think Pelfrey will be either, though. And it's been overcome by events, but I didn't get May not making the rotation out of camp. To me, there's the smoking gun for us complainers. He might fail, but he needs to be getting major league innings, I think.

    Hey now...just cause RB needs a break from 162 game thread intros is no reason to call him a Sisy.
  13. USAFChief
    Great job SSOO...much appreciated!
  14. USAFChief
    Lineups for today Our guys, one through nine, road togs Their guys, same, home whites

    I'm going to have to dispute the claim of "4 four seam fastballs." He was not throwing a 95 MPH "sinker." Those where 4 seamers.
  16. USAFChief
    Paving the road and leaving it "unblocked" is what the Twins did for Hicks, and how the CF boondoggle originated. Choosing the same route for Buxton seems like making the same mistake, to me.
  17. USAFChief
    Way to go Halsey. Like the young man doesn't have enough pressure on him, you go and add THIS to the pile.

    I thought when the game started, his four seem fastball was what looked intriguing. Mid 90's consistently, decent location. It was everything else that didnt look so good to me. He's always lacked secondary pitches, and IMO still does. Also, as the game wore on, the four seem velocity started to dip. It's hard enough to throw one pitch and get outs as it is, but when you have to do it more than once through a lineup and that pitch is weakening, it becomes near impossible to be consistently successful. Moving him to the pen and trying him there seems like such a no brainer to me. He might throw even harder, and an inning with one quality pitch can be done, multiple innings not so much. Even his secondary pitches would probably have more chance of success in small doses.
  20. USAFChief
    Or was it Matty?
  21. USAFChief
    Are you sure Aaron is older. I thought Felipe was the oldest.
  22. USAFChief
    Well, we held 'em off for as long as we could, but the Sox had been very close in our rear view mirror for a long time, and they finally caught us. Tied for 4th in the ALC.
  23. USAFChief
    Is there anyone available?
  24. USAFChief
    Poop. Poopety-poop-poop-poop.
  25. USAFChief
    False. I put Jefferson on the top of my (voting) list.
