    Well, it may be stupid. Or it may not. I suspect there are differences of opinion. But the post I responded to said the rule was the reason the Twins lost. Hard to support that claim, IMO.
  2. USAFChief
    It's my understanding the Twins also start the 10th with a runner on second.
  3. USAFChief
    A couple thoughts: Why do you let Rooker hit in an RBI spot, then sub in Buxton for him in the same inning? If Buxton's going in, why not PH him? I don't understand how Polanco doesn't score from second on Cruz's ground single to right. Really poor decision from Diaz. Nothing has changed my opinion this bullpen isn't equipped to win anything meaningful.
  4. USAFChief
    Yeah, it's simply not fair that they get to start the inning with a runner on 2nd, and we don't.
  5. USAFChief
    Dunno about that. The calf bone is connected to the... hamstring bone.
  6. USAFChief
    I blame rdehring.
  7. USAFChief
    I knew we should have been searching in Column B.

    Astudillo's career BA is .294. Career OBP .319. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/astudwi01.shtml

    Hawk Harrelson says "hi."
  10. USAFChief
    Might want to take another stab, Ted.
  11. USAFChief
    I fear the bullpen is woefully weak compared to other AL contenders. Not enough power. Hoping for too many reclamation projects.
  12. USAFChief
    First, my worry starts much higher than the 8th spot in the pen. Second, one injury and number 8 is now number 7, etc etc. And third, every reliever will pitch meaningful innings over the course of the season. It's the nature of MLB. You can't plan on only using the top half of your pen when games are close. Doesn't work out that way. I have serious concern about this bullpen being good enough to win the ALC, much less the WS.

    Who sits so Arraez can be the everyday leadoff hitter? Polanco? Donaldson? Kirilloff?
  14. USAFChief
    I think what Johnson meant was the ABILITY to throw strikes, when wanted, with pitches other than FBs. Command. Drop the slider in for a strike, then just off the low outside corner. On command.
  15. USAFChief
    They might cobble together a decent rotation if Maeda and Berrios are really good. But the pen looks really weak to me. Potentially devastating.
  16. USAFChief
    So it always means SOMEthing.
  17. USAFChief
    Colome? I guess I was hoping for something from column B.
  18. USAFChief
    Ick.

    "Tom Kelly criticizes Todd Walker's Christmas lights" is your best line to date, Stu. And that's a very high bar to leap. Very high indeed.
  20. USAFChief
    I shouldn't have put it on the boooaaaaarrrrrrrrd, yes?
  21. USAFChief
    Any word on a return of a certain broadcaster, or is he gone?
  22. USAFChief
    Every team uses multiple 40 man spots on waiver pickups every offseason?
  23. USAFChief
    No. The last thing baseball needs is more artificial tinkering. Let smart teams, and smart hitters, start to take advantage. They will. Naturally.
  24. USAFChief
    A no brainer. Thanks, but we need better options in the pen.
  25. USAFChief
    One of my all time favorite Twins, who also happens to be underrated by a lot of Twins fans. He could play.
