    Where do frugal pirates get their hooks?
  2. USAFChief
    Cause he bounced it.

    Gonna go out on a limb here and speculate those two don't hang out much on the road.

    I remember when I first enlisted in the Air Force. Had a complete physical, including a test for color vision. Turns out I'm color blind. And let me tell ya, that news came straight out of the purple.

    Farmer!

    Dick: DRIVEN...to short center.

    3 months on the road every summer too.

    He's 67 and been doing the Twins since '83. The last few years ain't anywhere near the worst baseball he's seen.

    Timely DP. But Ober is shaky, to say the least.
  10. USAFChief
    Don't know about all that, but to me he's pretty clearly become bored with the whole thing. His heart just isn't in it. As I mentioned the other day, with the BSN contract up, Bremer aging, it seems to me a natural time for a change, no matter who has the Twins broadcasts next year.

    Much better pitch mix and command that inning. Nice.
  12. USAFChief
    we have a winner. Nicely done sir
  13. USAFChief
    I hope so, but color me skeptical
  14. USAFChief
    Ober appears to have run out of magic pixie dust.
  15. USAFChief
    Just can't throw that pitch. Terrible.
  16. USAFChief
    No sir.
  17. USAFChief
    Again, good try. But no.
  18. USAFChief
    No sir. Good try though.
  19. USAFChief
    Yeah, I can see Luplow in the lineup, but batting 3rd?

    What did Yoda say when he saw himself on a 4K TV?
  21. USAFChief
    I watched on TV. Cable. None of this streaming ****.
  22. USAFChief
    Which inning does it become acceptable to pinch hit?
  23. USAFChief
    First rule of holes: when you find yourself in one, stop digging.

    What's new here is the "opener" concept, which can complicate platooning, since the "bulk guy" is basically the starter, only he comes in some time after the "opener," and may not pitch with the same hand. A manager may be forced into making a platoon decision way early. But platooning itself is as old as the advent of LH pitching. Which is to say, it's always been around. Tom Kelly used to use Mike Pagliarulo and Scotty Lieus at 3rd. Earl Weaver platooned. Casey Stengel. Etc etc. It's an age old way to try to squeeze a little more offense out of a position, since the platoon advantage/disadvantage is real, and almost universal. If your roster was big enough you'd ideally like to platoon most EVERY position. Your issues with Gallo are another issue entirely. And you should have the same, or worse issues with Luplow, BTW. Luplow is, if anything, a worse hitter than Gallo and a worse defender as well. The problem is having Gallo and Luplow as your choices, not Rocco trying to maximize his poor options.

    Actually, 32 and 31, respectively.
