    Cuzzi missed two calls, but blaming the umpire for last night's loss misses the real reasons.
  2. USAFChief
    In fact, 13 GIDP in his career. Less than 2/yr on average.

    Jeffers has 22 PAs against LH pitching this year, Vazquez 13. Neither has has many PAs. And Vazquez has hit .167/.154/.167. for a .321 OPS in those 13. Jeffers has a .697 OPS in his 22 PAs against lefties. .978 vs RH pitching. Facing LH pitching hasn't been any kind of advantage to date. In fact it's hurt both, and Vazquez has been putrid. Even up the playing time for a month and see what that looks like. For the record starters have done just fine with both catchers. I believe the team is 2 games over .500 when Jeffers starts, 3 over when Vazquez starts.

    I think Jeffers has earned a more equal distribution of playing time.

    Ryan really impressive.

    👌

    At least there was a reason for the Mahle trade. Team in first. Desperate for starting pitching. What was the thought process behind unloading Pressly?
  9. USAFChief
    Cruz for Ryan the best, but a sort of a no-brainer. The kind of trade any noncontender makes at the deadline. Expiring contract for prospects. Still, full credit for the return. Worst is Pressly for sure. Completely unnecessary. The kind of trade bad teams make. Extraordinary talent for meh.

    Wait...WHAT??
  11. USAFChief
    Absolutely, positively 100 percent concur the offense is a problem. However, last night the offense handed the pen a lead. Whether the lead is 6-5, or 2-1, the job is the same. The pen gave up a five spot last night, and for the 9th time already took the L. It'd be nice to give the pen a bigger lead, for sure. Or increase the lead once on a while. But ultimately it's the bullpen that failed, again, last night.

    Stringer brought it up in the game thread, and I concur...Alcala will be in *Rochester tomorrow. Maybe just me, but the bullpen concerns me. Edit: *St Paul Tip o' the cap to Indiana Twin

    Griffin Jax has recorded 27% of the team's losses this year to date. Not really interested in hearing how unlucky he is.
  14. USAFChief
    Bad trade, in retrospect, but I can't really hold it against the front office. However, throwing good money after bad by extending him? I'd consider that really poor management, and I'd be shocked if it happened.
  15. USAFChief
    I know its only May, but this felt like a pretty big win.
  16. USAFChief
    Don't throw good money after bad. There's little to no benefit to any kind of contract. Trade turned out horribly, learn and move on.
  17. USAFChief
    Tough news, but not surprising.
  18. USAFChief
    It was clear? I don't think the ball hit the ground. His glove did, with the ball in his glove.
  19. USAFChief
    It's the 3rd base ump's call and he was in position ~10 feet away staring directly at the catch.
  20. USAFChief
    Baldelli's post game presser makes me more irritated than the actual pisspoor play. What a complete pile of corporate-speak nonsense. "Well, it's tough to defend when a hitter squares." WHAT? It's literally your JOB to make sure your players execute the game properly. Jeez.
  21. USAFChief
    I loathe the upcoming robo-ump traveshamockery, but this challenge system is worse. Holy cow what a stupid idea.
  22. USAFChief
    Quantrill is decidedly below average. Probably in the bottom 25% of starters the Twins will face this year.
  23. USAFChief
    6 game road trip, consisting of almost 6 5 games worth of innings...28 hits. Cure for insomnia.
  24. USAFChief
    Feels like today Miranda reached the end of the long leash he's gotten. Simply awful ABs.
  25. USAFChief
    I don't like for them to give games away. Cleveland's entire 3 run inning featured one legit base hit. One.
