    Define "pitcher."
  3. USAFChief
    Obligatory

    Gotta be tough for Delaware to make any money with $11 beers and $18 cheeseburgers.

    This season was over last trade deadline.
  6. USAFChief
    Yep. Cycling through DFA claims is how you get the Twins pen. Also, the :just convert some starters" line we see trotted out sounds fine but it's hard to pull off and certainly can't be done in an offseason. Nobody has enough spare starters sitting around in the high minors with the kind of stuff needed to really be a difference maker to throw a half dozen at the issue. You might find one or two per year. Bullpens need to be built, with quality, over time.

    Hahaha. If we're talking big picture, this season ceased to matter last trade deadline.
  8. USAFChief
    One reliever, even a good one, would make little difference. Good bullpens are 10 - 11 deep. Bad pitchers dont get better because you pitch them in the 7th instead of the 8th.
  9. USAFChief
    Every reliever will pitch "when it matters."
  10. USAFChief
    Nothing in MLB "straightens itself out."

    I've been saying Lewis's footwork is awful for a year now. I've never seen someone hit with a back foot fly around like his. And it's often during the swing. Incredible.
  12. USAFChief
    I'd like to take credit for this, but honestly it's rather like predicting the sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning.

    Cease walks into a bar, barkeep says "Why the long face?"
  14. USAFChief
    I dont like the chances of 4 runs being enough today.
  15. USAFChief
    How the hell does Wallner not swing 3-0 there?
  16. USAFChief
    Schneider was expecting another slider on 3-2. Way late on the fastball.
  17. USAFChief
    Anyone old enough to remember Sal "The Barber" Maglie? Connor "The Podiatrist" Prielipp?
  18. USAFChief
    In which case, I picked a bad game thread to quit sniffing glue.
  19. USAFChief
    Great PA Keaschall.
  20. USAFChief
    Let's hope. And don't call me Shirley.
  21. USAFChief
    These dames?
  22. USAFChief
    What do you mean my jokes were bad that night?? Your memory is bad, HBD. It was a day game.

    Walter Johnson tossed a no hitter for the Senators in 1920. I remember watching on MLB.TV. Mrs Chief got on me about taking out the garbage but I held my ground and watched it all. Jack Kralick threw the Twins first no hitter in 1962. He was a 9th inning walk from a perfect game.

    More information about "Friday Forum: Byron Buxton's Defense, Louis Varland Would Look Pretty Good Right About Now, and Narratives Fly Forever!"
    Modern defensive metrics aren't particularly kind to Twins center fielder Byron Buxton. He's decidedly...average, if you believe what they say. Do you? Does it matter? I'm not sure if you heard...or remember...the Twins made a couple deals last summer at the deadline. The whole thing seemed to fly under the radar, almost unnoticed. So it might be time to look back at one of those deals, Louis Varland to Toronto. Thoughts on this largely unnoticed transaction? Narratives. They can change, but they sure drive perceptions. Time for your take. Get your comment on!
