    This POST is a winner!
  2. USAFChief
    I didn't "bring it up." I responded to another poster. In a relevant way, in a relevant thread. For the first time, BTW.
  3. USAFChief
    Interesting. Perhaps you're right.

    There is no trick to getting guys to the big leagues. Every team has 25 players on its roster. Nobody plays with 22, or 23, or 24. Every team adds minor leaguers every year. It's basically meaningless. The trick is to add minor leaguers who help win more games than the other teams.
  5. USAFChief
    They could have Gee AND Kintzler.
  6. USAFChief
    Yeah, I put this more on the pitcher than the shift, or even credit to Rosario. He's not stealing home if the pitcher is in the stretch.
  7. USAFChief
    The position players everyone has been raving about for several years now are pretty much all in place. That sounds like a team ready to make a significant leap forward. If not, then they likely never will.
  8. USAFChief
    Also same conversations about Luis Rivas, Danny Santana, etc etc. Guys who "just need time" to become quality major leaguers, and who got way too many opportunities here, and then faded from baseball.
  9. USAFChief
    Eh...thats how you end up with Danny Santana, hoping he can someday become "league average." I think you need to aim higher than that, at every position, so that if some players DON'T reach their potential, you DO end up with league average as a fall back. What happens when you hope for league average and they don't develop? Or even if all your players do reach their potential of league average? That doesn't get you very far.
  10. USAFChief
    concur. He's never been a difference maker as a hitter, I see no reason to believe he'll become one.
  11. USAFChief
    thank you. The steadfast need to defend Mauer at all costs is nauseating to me. He should have been on the field yesterday, and he shares blame with Molitor And the FO for yesterday's lineup.
  12. USAFChief
    Mauer' absence was "100 percent understandable?" No. Not even 10 percent. And this coming from someone who wants less Mauer. But when Gimenez is hitting 4th, and Adrianza manning first? He needs to be on the field.
  13. USAFChief
    What would be the issue with just admitting Mauer isn't a middle of the order hitter, but letting him lead off would be the best use of what skill(s) he still has?
  14. USAFChief
    Embarrassing effort all the way around last night. From kicking the ball around, to lackadaisical half hearted ABs, to Dozier jogging out of the box on a ground ball to short, to sloppy infield play where (once again) nobody seems to know what the heck they're supposed to do, to the appearance of a team mailing it in. Sad to see. Much of it is on the players themselves, but it's also another reason Molitor should be replaced. That was not a MLB team on the field last night.

    This has been perhaps the most dismal effort by the Twins this year. Sleepwalking. Molitor needs to go.
  17. USAFChief
    Are you asking Grossman? Cause he has no idea, he never saw it.
  18. USAFChief
    LOL at Grossman.

    Speaking of the Tanque Verde Swap Meet, I was there last weekend and saw one of those fancy, flat screen TVs for sale for only $30. I asked the guy what was the deal, and he said it works, but the volume is stuck on high. I thought for a minute and then decided "Well, I can't turn that down."
  20. USAFChief
    It's like shooting fish in a barrel, isn't it?
  21. USAFChief
    Gee, I wonder if he's done.
  22. USAFChief
    King: How many volunteers for the death squad? Squire: 384, my liege. King: Round them up. Squire. 400, my liege.
  23. USAFChief
    Well do you know the difference between a good joke and a bad joke timing?

    ANOTHER incident here in Tucson today. I was walking through the mall after work, and I saw this guy run into the Apple store and run back out with a couple phones. The cops got him though, and then came back to get my name, address and cell number. They told me the county DA would be in touch, to let me know the trial date. They need me to be an iWitness.
  25. USAFChief
    They're shocked...SHOCKED...to discover the pitching isn't up to snuff.
