    That slash line comes in 3 games, 14 PAs. He certainly might need more time to get his timing down, but basing his callup (or non-callup) on a 14 PA slash line is ... iffy.
  2. USAFChief
    Well we know who to blame if he does.
  3. USAFChief
    I didn't mean that statement as any kind of defense of the front office
  4. USAFChief
    This lineup can't be right. No Santana??!?
  5. USAFChief
    The Twins didn't want Varland in the rotation, they wanted Desclafani.
  6. USAFChief
    I'll be shocked if Bowman isn't DFA'd before tonight's game.
  7. USAFChief
    Yeah, I heard you the first time. Might be just me, but I wouldn't let my editor write my content, under my byline. But if I did, I wouldn't throw him/her under the bus later for what's published under my byline.
  8. USAFChief
    Ouch.
  9. USAFChief
    Concur. If Farmer isn't on this team to play SS why did they spend $6m on him? Just one more very questionable decision in an offseason full of them.
  10. USAFChief
    Huh? This is literally the first 2 sentences of your article: "The Twins ... traded second baseman Jorge Polanco to Seattle on Jan. 29. The team got quite a haul..."
  11. USAFChief
    Has Bowman been DFA'd yet?
  12. USAFChief
    The wrong one.
  13. USAFChief
    So your theory is the Twins made no move to add a starter this winter? Nonsense. They traded Polanco for a starter. Period. The only starter added. The fact he's a ****** one changes nothing. He was slotted for the rotation the moment they agreed to the deal. And he's the one piece of the deal the Twins insisted on getting back: a starter. One last time: the Twins DO NOT MAKE THE TRADE if they don't get a starter in return. That makes DeSclafani the primary return. They just got beat, badly, in the trade. They blinked. "Well no, Thad. We can't give you one of THOSE starters. But how about THIS one, and these shiny trinkets?"
  14. USAFChief
    And "what to expect from a 5th starter?"
  15. USAFChief
  16. USAFChief
    Well I obviously disagree. Strongly. Everybody in the western hemisphere knew the Twins were going to add a starter to replace Gray and Maeda. They got one. They weren't looking to trade for a 33 yr old reliever with one season of success, an A ball outfielder, or a non prospect A ball pitcher. They wanted a starter. The fact they blinked and let Seattle pawn off a bad one is WHY we need to see this trade for what it was. Pretending the Twins front office made a good deal, or didn't trade for a starter as the primary return, is just a pollyanna fairytale. They blew it. Big time.

    At the risk of hijacking this thread, and further beating a dead horse, this was your post immediately prior to the above: Logjam or no logjam, I'm pretty sure the idea (here, won't speak to ownership) of moving middle infielders wasn't to just dump excess quality players, it was to acquire a Sonny Gray replacement. your post immediately above seems to disagree. Polanco was traded for a starter. They tried for one of Seattle's actual good ones, settled for Desclafani. The Polanco trade isnt made without a starter in return.
  18. USAFChief
    That's some ****** pitching to Torkleson. Everyone in the ballpark knew what was coming.
  19. USAFChief
    They scored that a double for Canha. Ell Oh Ell.
  20. USAFChief
    Some wonderful infield play, and an incredibly stupid throw by Martin. Go ahead run on third.
  21. USAFChief
    Ick.
  22. USAFChief
    Think maybe Baez was sitting breaking ball?
  23. USAFChief
    You guys are sooooo plugged in to my humor.
  24. USAFChief
    TImely.
  25. USAFChief
    Nice job, Mr Ober. Put me down as OK with this pitching change.
