    I don't think there's any doubt they bring in at least one starter. I hope they make a legit effort at building a bullpen too.
  2. USAFChief
    Huh? Clearly out.

    I wonder if hitters are picking up Ryans change. To me it looks like his motion slows.
  4. USAFChief
    Nobody pimped a HR off Gibson more than once, guaranteed
  5. USAFChief
    Well duh...that pic came from my phone. Back then cell phones only took B&W pics.
  6. USAFChief
    Dunno, but I know this...Bob Gibson would have drilled him.
  7. USAFChief
    Yeah, past Gray and Lopez they all do, AFAIC.
  8. USAFChief
    It's been done.

    Ryan just hasn't looked very good 2nd half. ERA over 5.5, WHIP near 1.5. I don't know who the 3rd starter is right now. I'd probably go Maeda. Ryan would be in the pen were I choosing.

    Make it look easy, Willi.

    As well as games 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

    Move down, my good man.

    Isn't Gallo still on the IL?
  15. USAFChief
    LOL. That's...not very insightful. 20 years, over 3400 hits, lifetime .310/.377/.440. Top10 in MVP voting 8 times. Still playing a solid shortstop through his last day. Jeter is, if anything, UNDERrated.

    Well Jeffers can't catch every game, so Vazquez is gonna get some play. However, I don't understand why Vazquez has more PAs than Jeffers.

    I always pull for the Twins, but I have recently decided Rocco is too much a net negative to continue on as manager. I believe he costs them games.
  18. USAFChief
    Gee, wouldja look at that...when you PH in the 5th or 6th inning, you might actually be GIVING UP THE PLATOON ADVANTAGE as often or more often than you gain, and IT MIGHT BE IN AN ACTUAL IMPORTANT plate appearance.
  19. USAFChief
    So far this isn't improving my mood after that Gopher debacle.
  20. USAFChief
    Pretty solid. There's some talent for the next GM to start from. Pitching has imploded though.

    According to this article, 8. https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/mlb/chicago-cubs/heres-how-rare-angels-bases-loaded-intentional-walk-of-corey-seager-was/323129/

    Not to belabor this....ok I'll belabor it. It's not a hit and run. The count was 3-2. Baldelli put the runner in motion in an attempt to avoid the DP. He trusts the hitter to either swing and make contact, or take ball four. Ot maybe get lucky and get a stolen base on strike 3. A hit and run is given on counts of less than 2 strikes, often 1-0 or 2-1 where there is a high probability of a strike, because the hitter doesn't have the option of taking the pitch. He's expected to swing to protect the runner, preferably by hitting behind the runner to RF. The plays are different. A runner in motion on 3-2 is not a hit and run play. Similarly runners in force out situations taking off on a 3-2 pitch with 2 out aren't executing a H&R either.

    One of my favorite calls comes from the 87 ALCS. Bob Costas: "They got Nokes!" Gagne threw out Matt Nokes from wayyyyyy deep in the hole.
  24. USAFChief
    That's what it's all about!

    You put your left foot in, you take your left foot out, you put a right foot in, Rocco's pinch hitting all about....
