    Must be tough going through life as a massive disappointment to your parents. I speak from experience, BTW.

    I'd say, even if the .344 OBP is sustainable, coupled with a .296 SLG, it's still atrocious. You have to do more than draw a walk now and then.
  3. USAFChief
    I'm in. What are the stakes?
  4. USAFChief
    It's possible RB has just acquired anew nickname.

    Whoever the song was about, we need more album covers like "No Secrets."

    There have been some encouraging developments. But there is work to be done this offseason if there is to be realistic hope for contending in 2015.

    Everyone take a step back, please. There is no need for this thread to degenerate.

    Consider this a warning: we don't take too kindly to discussing mod actions in threads.

    I plan on attending the game thread tomorrow, for the season finale, but just in case something comes up and I miss it, I wanted this on record: I enjoy these game threads so much. I love watching baseball, love watching Twins baseball even more, and my enjoyment of both is enhanced by the game thread. For that, I owe a huge thank you to Chitown and RB for making them happen. Day in, day out. I'm not sure mere words can express how much I appreciate you making this happen. It's a big deal. So thanks! I also want to thank all the game threaders. All of you...and you know who you are, the regulars, the part timers, the once in a whilers...add to my enjoyment of Twins baseball. I hope none of you have taken offense to my corny one liners, and especially my sometimes cranky attitude when things aren't progressing the way I think they should. I can assure you it's not personal, nor do I take offense at any good natured humor pointed in my direction. All in all, it'll be a long winter, but I suspect most of us will be back here next spring. Hopeful, anxious for baseball again. I can't imagine how much fun these threads will be if (when) the Twins are a great team again. Thank you one and all. Chief

    With a new manager on your side, and a top notch FA added to your minor leaguers, you'll be taking 2 of 3 from her as soon as 2016.
  11. USAFChief
    uh...concur?
  12. USAFChief
    Who's Hermann, and why do we care who he wants in left field?
  13. USAFChief
    If I'm managing, Mr Nolasco calls it a season.
  14. USAFChief
    Dozier-zee!
  15. USAFChief
    'bout time.
  16. USAFChief
    Yes. You can certainly claim it.
  17. USAFChief
    Bad, bad, bad baserunning. Bad. Really bad.

    Fryer-Zee!

    ...
  20. USAFChief
    Uh...no. I was referring to two weeks ago. Watched it this morning!
  21. USAFChief
    How 'bout them Gophers!

    Until the pitching improves, the rest is nice but won't have much effect on the W-L record. I hope to be more optimistic about the pitching by spring training.
  23. USAFChief
    Honest question Snepp: I know that everyone agrees pitchers have influence on the type of batted ball they allow, ground ball vs fly ball. But unless I'm missing something, DIPS theory still holds pitchers do not have control over quality of contact...they can't control how hard the ball is hit, or how many hits they allow on balls in play. The only way to allow fewer hits is to allow fewer balls in play. Can you point me to research that says differently? Or am I misinterpreting DIPS? It seems to me if Pittsburgh's staff is allowing ground balls that are hit softer than other ground ball pitchers, which is the claim in this article, then they will allow fewer hits on those ground balls, no?

    Winnah!

    If we do many more of those Modcons, it will be.
