    Mrs Chief asked me to pick up some wall art and knickknacks to spruce up the house. I got a candle and a cool little saying.

    I don't even mind a bunt for a hit there. But it was a crappy attempt.
  3. USAFChief
    Doubt that was called. Just a crappy attempt at a base hit.
  4. USAFChief
    Oh man, they scored it a triple and an error. COME ON! It's next to impossible to get charged with an error and you're gonna give an error on the throw?? COME ON!!

    Hahahahahahahahahahaha. .... Hahahahahaha FARMER!!

    Ober appears to have really poor command
  7. USAFChief
    Well this has started well.
  8. USAFChief
    No hell below us. Above us only Cleveland

    .241/.294/.345. Crappy defense. 3rd most games played on the team. What's not to like?

    Per MLBTR, it's Varland to St Paul, Henriquez to the Twins. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/08/twins-to-place-byron-buxton-on-injured-list-3.html

    Also, Blewitt DFAd. Although if he clears, it's possible he could be back.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/08/mlb-considering-rules-to-keep-starting-pitchers-in-games-longer.html Not sure what to make of this. I will say I like the double hook idea. You lose the DH when you remove your starter. If nothing else that'd get rid of the "opener" nonsense. I think smaller staffs is the way to go. There might be secondary benefits here of reducing K's and getting more balls in play, which needs to happen somehow.

    First Rule Of Holes: when you find yourself in one, stop digging.

    Varland is apparently back to St Paul, per Fangraphs roster resource, but I haven't seen it elsewhere. Nor any corresponding move Edit: per Phil Miller, per Stringer Bell, Ronny Henriquez is in Texas as the likely Varland replacement. Edit: apparent confirmation of both moves, per MLBTradeRumors https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/08/twins-to-place-byron-buxton-on-injured-list-3.html

    Heaney tomorrow, I believe.

    Texas: Simien 2b Smith SS Lowe 1b Garcia RF Langford DH Jung 3b Heim C Jankowski LF Tavaras CF Seager with a rare day off. We'll take it.

    Margot LF Santana 1B Lewis 3B Miranda DH Castro SS Farmer 2B Vazquez C Kepler RF Martin CF Not ideal

    $700k. Richards is making $2.1M in 2024. Approx 1/3 of that is the Twins responsibility (2 of 6 months...$700k). https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/richatr01.shtml
  19. USAFChief
    Huh?
  20. USAFChief
    Correct. That's a little steep for Twins ownership.
  21. USAFChief
    With...say...Miranda at 3rd, Correa at SS, and Lewis at 1st? With Lee backing up SS and 3rd? With the added benefit of perhaps a little better defense? Possibly better health?
  22. USAFChief
    A statnerd truism I've always agreed with: "Anybody can hit anything in 40 at bats."
  23. USAFChief
    Just stop. And for the record, Richards costs about $700k
  24. USAFChief
    Freddie Freeman (6/$162 at age 32) and Bruce Harper (13/$330) say hi. Teams pay for offense, no matter the position.
  25. USAFChief
    You gotta beat good teams to get to, and win, a World Series. That said, If we're stuck playing Baltimore or the Yankees, I'd rather it be a 3 game Series than 5 or 7.
