You're literally arguing in a thread you have stated you don't wish to read. There are 27000 baseball threads. Did you know the Twins DFA'd Coulumbe today?
I question why someone would feel justified to describe the actions of those in the Twins locker room as "liberal." How about "on the side of humanity?"
I don't think it can be argued that the bullpen games havent had a negative effect on the pen. Sundays game played a role in losing last night's game. Alcala isn't brought into a 1 run game against the top of the order if the better options weren't unavailable. I also agree with the point above about lack of fastballs from Alcala. It was weird.
Rogers left way too many sliders in the middle of the zone. Again. Still, goes in the W column. Shame to use virtually the entire bullpen going into Cleveland.
We should automatically count it as an "out" if a batter hits a can of corn fly ball, too, amiright? I didn't think I'd come to TD and read about the dropped third strike rule. Am I on the STrib game recap?
Mu guess is there will be some trades, but most will be salary dumps. I believe this will be an opportunity for a few teams to unload a contract or two.
