    offense is offensive
  2. USAFChief
    Quite the contrary...you've missed EVERYthing.

    Our dog, Kirby, ate a whole bag of scrabble tiles yesterday. Sheesh. He hasn't pooped since, so we took him to the vet. ... wait for it /// No word yet.
  4. USAFChief
    Still the most valuable thing a hitter can do. I'll never understand the "RBI are meaningless" crowd.
  5. USAFChief
    Try since 2019.
  6. USAFChief
    Well done, Ryan.
  7. USAFChief
    Carlos hit the ball hard. The other two...

    Lewis has less than a year in the big leagues and this will mark his third IL stint for "soft tissue injury." Somebody is doing something wrong.

    After all these years, Mrs Chief told me today she thinks I have trouble expressing my emotions. I can't say I'm surprised.
  10. USAFChief
    And you expect that from Martin?? Extremely unlikely. You can't maintain that OBP in the big leagues if you can't hit.
  11. USAFChief
    Guess he should'a been "working on something."
  12. USAFChief
    Jordon Montgomery to the DBacks, 1 Yr, $25M. That ain't workin', that's the way you do it.
  13. USAFChief
    Likely more like 2.
  14. USAFChief
    Yeah...no. Martin is a marginal talent. Julien can hit.
  15. USAFChief
    He did not. A "swinging bunt," yes.
  16. USAFChief
    They wouldn't need to "hold Farmer back" to pull Julien late. Castro in for Julien, goes to 3rd, Farmer to 2nd. Not that I'm advocating this. Just saying.

    I can sort of buy that for pitchers. Sort of. Pitchers were throwing with max effort 50 years ago too. They just didn't have the science, video, and coaching to increase velo like they do now. As for position players, nobody is giving more effort today, as far as I can see. And in both cases, players are asked to do less than they were 50 years ago. How many players today play 160 games? This is particularly true for pitchers, where IP are reduced by as much as a third, or more. And yet... Something isn't working.
  18. USAFChief
    I was pretty confident it'd be Miranda, but if he can't play 3rd, there's zero reason to bring him up. In that case it'll be Martin.

    I think we need to be careful about drawing large conclusions based on Royce Lewis. I have no doubt Royce Lewis is putting in the work to prepare for the grind of MLB. That said, it's absolutely, positively, unequivocally true that the amount of time players are missing due to injury is on the climb. And it seems to get worse by the year. More players, more injuries, more time. Pitching injuries are at a ridiculous level. Something isn't working. And to bring this full circle, something isn't working with Lewis, either. If he ends up on the IL, it'll mark the 3rd time, I believe, with soft tissue injury. This quad, an oblique, and a hamstring . That seems like a lot in *13* months.
  20. USAFChief
    If the Twins end up platooning Castro and Farmer at 3rd, Castro will get the bulk of the playing time. But it'll be because he can bat left handed, not because of defense. BTW, he's not a better defender than Farmer.
  21. USAFChief
    This is nonsense.
  22. USAFChief
    False. Lewis's OPS is 3.500. It was dropping like a rock at the time of his injury ...
  23. USAFChief
    Kepler fouled a ball off his right leg. Finished the AB after a lengthy time out, then didn't take the field the bottom half of that inning.
  24. USAFChief
    Can't win the lotto if you don't buy a ticket.

    Eddie Rosario opening day CFer. Yeeesh.
