    I'm not defending Thielbar, believe me.
  2. USAFChief
    Floggings will continue until morale improves.
  3. USAFChief
    Giving him the 6th was ALREADY progression. Quite a bit. We're trying to win baseball games.
  4. USAFChief
    Aggies has always been like that.
  5. USAFChief
    Booooooo! Boo that man.

    They don't even stretch them out in the minors. I mean I'm all for it. But then train them to do it. Don't ask them to do what they've never asked before, NOW Mathews is even a worse case. He hasn't thrown 90 pitches in a game in his entire professional career. How do they expect him to do it in the big leagues?
  7. USAFChief
    I think the right call was to start the 7th with a reliever. You're asking more from Festa than you've asked all year. They don't even ask em to do that in the minors.
  8. USAFChief
    Well like I said...shocked he sent Festa out for the 7th. He was hit hard in the 6th. He hadn't thrown a single pitch in even the 6th inning yet this season. Hadn't thrown more than 82 pitches in a game. Just a curious decision that immediately backfired. Not to excuse Thielbar, but I think you gotta take what you got from Festa and have a reliever start the 7th

    ? I can link to a February article touting "best bullpen in baseball" Fangraphs hoohah, but it was here on TD too.
  10. USAFChief
    Gee look. No baserunning blunders. But by all means don't you dare put any of that on the man managing.
  11. USAFChief
    Almost like Olson knew what was coming. And then hit it. And now Thielbar has to pitch to 2 more hitters.
  12. USAFChief
    *PA
  13. USAFChief
    I wouldn't have. But I understand it.
  14. USAFChief
    Shocked. Tells you what Rocco thinks of his pen.
  15. USAFChief
    Took four hits, including 3 to start the inning, to score one run. But at least we got one. Now who pitches?
  16. USAFChief
    Until he got the stop sign.
  17. USAFChief
    I can't believe Willi got something off speed.
  18. USAFChief
    Watch the overhead video. He got a stop sign halfway to third. Then a go sign. Then. Stop.
  19. USAFChief
    Huh??
  20. USAFChief
    Cmon. Watkins.
  21. USAFChief
    I believe you play your best players when they're healthy. Giving them time off intentionally does zero to keep them healthy and only adds to the time they'll eventually miss when/if they're NOT healthy. It just amounts to an added unnecessary trip to the IL, spread out into one day trips that accumulate into the same thing.
  22. USAFChief
    Why is this even an issue at this point of the season?
  23. USAFChief
    The two best ABs tonight off Sale have come from Wallner. And he wouldn't be in the lineup if Rocco had any choice.
  24. USAFChief
    "Mental reset day" for Lewis. With a left handed pitcher on the mound, and a day off tomorrow. Rocco Roccoing.
  25. USAFChief
    Also a pretty good example to show the next young whippersnapper who tells you pitchers can't "pitch to the situation." Sale is sitting low 90s until he needs it. Then it 97, 98, 99.
