    Spy vs spy should have won a Pulitzer.

    I'll settle for blaming Rocco. And I'm serious. Top of the Seattle order, he's only getting 1 Lefthanded hitter tops. But then I have an irrational distaste for Moran. Always iffy control, much less command.
  3. USAFChief
    More than one, if you ask me.

    Start by offering to pay for Gallo's first class ticket if someone will take him. We don't need anything back, and if need be send along a low level prospect so someone takes him.

    Pagan didn't enter with a 4 run lead, or with bases loaded. He entered with a 3 run lead, no outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd. He got a ground ball out, then the 2 run HR to tie, then finished the inning. Not excusing the HR, but it was the only run he was responsible for. Moran pitched to 3 hitters, walked 2 and gave up a double. That inning is on Moran.

    What role? They have in effect a 12 man pitching staff.
  7. USAFChief
    That inning is on Moran, Ash.
  8. USAFChief
    That base was stolen on the pitcher, ********.
  9. USAFChief
    Why in God's name Moran to start the 8th? I mean, why?

    Tonight's view. $15 seat. ;)

    Yes, can be used as a boat anchor and a set of barbells also.

    I have to admit I clicked into the thread just to find out who "Enrique" Hernandez is. Oh.

    Interesting trivia: Tonight's Seattle pitcher originally made his money by inventing home cleaning devices.

    Trading for either of these two would be...wait for it... Dumb and dumber

    1. Pump the breaks a little on Stewart and Thielbar. Neither are back yet, for one thing. For another, Stewart is a 31 YO waiver wire claim who has 100+ MLB innings of 5+ ERA and 1.5 WHIP in his background. He certainly had a nice couple months for the Twins, but it wouldn't surprise me if he is the same guy he's always been if he comes back. Thielbar is 36. 2. Do you want to see any of Sands, Ortega or Balazovic pitch in a playoff game?
  17. USAFChief
    Wait...you think they haven't signed Jenkins because they've told him, "we're giving a million of your bonus to the 19th pick if he wants it. You'll still get 6.5. Otherwise we'll give you 7.5 mil. OK?" And you think Jenkins said "OK. Let me know by Tuesday." That seems implausible, don't you think?

    Another GREAT WIN. Hats off to Maeda. Hats off to the bats for coming back from a gut punch. Heck, hats off to the bullpen, despite Jax giving up the HR. Julien getting nailed at third (by a lot) is particularly bad baserunning because it ended the inning. Don't make the 1st or 3rd out at third. Nitpic: the win probability chart cannot possibly be correct. I think it somehow missed the Wong HR in the 9th.
  19. USAFChief
    Yes, but...one pretty widely accepted baserunning tenet is "don't make the 1st or 3rd out at 3rd base." The benefits of being on 3rd are there, but don't outweigh ending the inning.

    I was at the game. I'm 99 percent sure Solano wouldn't have scored on Jeffers' bunt. It was a safety squeeze, not suicide. The bunt didn't go far enough. I'm also 99 percent sure he scores even if the RFer catches Correa's liner.

    In other news, Generalisimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

    Can't speak for others, but as for me I know I was expecting 3 hits and a walk every single game.
  23. USAFChief
    Add Vazquez' 6-2-3 GIDP to the totals. And Jeffers' walk off single with runners on 2nd and 3rd, for that matter. Crazy.
  24. USAFChief
    GREAT WIN!! I must say, I was originally going to blister Rocco for PHing Vazquez, but upon thinking about it, I give Rocco props for thinking 2 innings ahead. "We will have a bases loaded, no out situation in the 12th. We can't do **** with the bases loaded. I need Vazquez to, uh, UNload 'em. 2 on, 2 out? Much better. Jeffers will single, bingo bango bongo, adios Chicago, walk off here we come, off to a nice Sunday night dinner, bring on the Mariners." Rocco's playing 3d chess, while I'm playing checkers.
