    Castro says hi.
  2. USAFChief
    I think so, but to be fair it's not really a getaway day for the Twins, and there's only been a couple opportunities for Lewis.
  3. USAFChief
    But If they showed the old "from above and behind home plate" angle, how would anybody complain about the umpires??
  4. USAFChief
    I'd actually be OK if they remove Pablo now. Lots of pitches, they pushed him back a day, he wasn't all that sharp. Comfortable lead.
  5. USAFChief
    At least half the time.
  6. USAFChief
    A long ... bomb-ber
  7. USAFChief
    Gomber looked somber walking off after we did a ... nahmber on him.
  8. USAFChief
    And that OPS solidly back above .400!
  9. USAFChief
    I'd be OK with a run or three here. Edit: you're welcome.
  10. USAFChief
    Well yeah. If you think about it, EVERYthing should be discounted at Denny's.
  11. USAFChief
    That's an entirely acceptable out from Farmer. He should try for 2 there. The benefits outweigh the risks.
  12. USAFChief
    65? That young whippersnapper barely gets the Denny's discount.
  13. USAFChief
    It's raining runs!!!!
  14. USAFChief
    Great job Santana! 0-2 no less.
  15. USAFChief
    Tough ball to read? A line drive that lands in left center 20 feet from the CFer??
  16. USAFChief
    Nice job, Buc!
  17. USAFChief
    Helluva job, Miranda.
  18. USAFChief
    How TF does Margot not score on the Lewis hit??
  19. USAFChief
    I'm not going to look, but I'd be willing to guess I can find posts of yours advocating not forming strong opinions based on 19 IP. But now it's OK? Solid enough evidence to make a decision BEFORE the pitcher even throws a single pitch? Strong enough to disregard the actual results on the field? Varland has given up an .880 OPS against the SECOND time through the order, BTW. Why did Rocco let him do that? It was a bad decision. A decision made long before first pitch. That's not hindsight, either. Most of the folks in the game thread said so, real time. Before Thielbar's first pitch. It wasn't hard to see.
  20. USAFChief
    1. What the heck does "the offense struggled" have to do with anything? 2. Varland has 19.2 career IP "third time through the order." Stupid decision to remove Varland, easily seen in real time. And made before the game even started. I really can't blame Rocco for his choice of Thielbar. He can only use the tools in his toolbox. Except...that a spent bullpen just adds more reason to let a cruising Varland go at LEAST one more inning started. Given options, nobody wants Thielbar in a tie game.
  21. USAFChief
    1. Is Park an employee of the Twins? 2. "Several nuanced factors"?? Your first paragraph layed it all off on ONE factor: 3rd time through the order.
  22. USAFChief
    Rocco's decision to remove Varland after 18 batters was made sometime last winter. We need a MLB manager.
  23. USAFChief
    Maybe. But I hold the manager responsible for in game decisions. Lineups. Strategy. Positioning. Pitching moves. PHing. Etc. Clearly there's a corporate input. It's his job to take way makes sense, and disregard what doesn't. He gets zero slack from me because someone with a computer told him it'd be a good idea to take Varland out after 2 times through the order, no matter what. With a thin-ish pen in a game you're deliberately trying to give your staff some rest.
  24. USAFChief
    I have no idea what that means.
  25. USAFChief
    Hey, didn't you used to be Ryan Jeffers?
