    Watching on radio...he's not coaching 1st? Welcome to TD.
  2. USAFChief
    Buxton out. Cave in.
  3. USAFChief
    I do. Twice a week.
  4. USAFChief
    It worked out, but pitching to Garcia with 1st base open and Heim on deck was a bad decision.
  5. USAFChief
    ****.
  6. USAFChief
    Right. But neither one are all that likely to drive in the run. It takes a hit. Which is why they had him try to steal third. They were much more likely to score if he's on 3rd with 1 out than 2nd.
  7. USAFChief
    Against a leftie.
  8. USAFChief
    Because after our "DH" strikes out, he's now on 2nd with Sandy Leon at the plate and 1 out. I'd send him too.
  9. USAFChief
    Heh

    Beckham is THIS close to a perfect .000 BA. That'd be stranded at home.
  12. USAFChief
    She was small. Minnie Annapolis.
  13. USAFChief
    I think you mean the second baseman. Q few of those grounders will get to him quickly on that LL field.
  14. USAFChief
    Also below mendoza line. But...it was my understanding there would be no math.
  15. USAFChief
    You get no more credit for predicting this than for predicting the sun will rise tomorrow morning.
  16. USAFChief
    Left out.
  17. USAFChief
    Those personalities used to show up on the Lawrence Welk show. Anna 1 Anna 2 Anna 3 ...
  18. USAFChief
    I'm assuming he'll get the start Tuesday in Houston.

    We'd all like to think so, but to date there isn't much if any difference between the 3 on offense. In fact Kepler has outhit Kirilloff in 2022. And both Kirilloff and Larnach are worse defensively, although I don't put much stock in the importance of corner OF defense. I know there are potentially injury reasons, but it's not clear, to me at least, those are the cause. Or in the case of Kirilloff, something we can assume will resolve. For me at least, neither have proven they're the answer to anything.

    I'm not sure I was ever the one on the unreasonable side of expectations. But I hope I'm proven wrong, and we get some reliably above average pitching next year beyond Duran. I'd rather not put all our eggs in that basket though.
  21. USAFChief
    Digging even just a bit deeper: 2022 Rogers: 1.117 WHIP, 0.6 HR/9, 5.27 K/BB Pagan: 1.398 WHIP, 2.0 HR/9, 3.33 K/BB Rogers has hit a rough patch for sure. But I'd take him in the Twins pen. Gladly.

    2020: 2-1 2021: 10-11 2022: 4-8 so far

    The arrogance with which this front office and this manager pretend stolen bases don't matter really irritates me. We don't ever run. Worse, we act like it doesn't matter anyone who wants to can run at will on us. No big deal. We don't ask our pitchers to hold runners, to the point the ghost runner on 2nd in extra innings can steal third without the pitcher even looking back. Everyone takes a huge leg kick. We don't pitch out, ever. Our weak armed catchers have one knee on the ground in SB situations because pitch framing. It'll get ignored because of the pen and the offense today, but that entire 7th inning debacle today was made infinitely worse because we can't or won't defend against SBs. And it happens regularly. I'm tired of pretending analytics means you don't have to still play the game. Stuff like this has mattered for 150 years. It still does.
  24. USAFChief
    We didn't even get a runner to 3rd, FFS.
  25. USAFChief
    Well it sure wasn't the bottom half of innings that slowed the pace.
