    Complines.

    None of them so far have thrown enough to not be available tomorrow, I'd guess. FWIW, I wouldn't haven't left Smeltzer in either.
  3. USAFChief
    Everyone but you, Agg. You post NOTHING.
  4. USAFChief
    Sigh. Lighten up.
  5. USAFChief
    Concur. He'll get a nice deal, but I don't see a megacontract as very likely.
  6. USAFChief
    Let's save our insults for the White Sox and not other posters. One and only warning.
  7. USAFChief
    Just when you think it's safe to open your eyes with Pagan on the mound...
  8. USAFChief
    Dunno.
  9. USAFChief
    We've had this discussion. Including the idea that if an IL stint would help, they'd likely have done so.
  10. USAFChief
    A bit of a nitpick...but no. They havent. Since reaching 27-16, the Twins haven't again been 11 games over .500. They've been back to 10 games over four times, including as recently as July 5th before the most recent 2-5. But they haven't matched that high water mark of 11 game over. So they actually didn't "play at .500 ball for the previous 40 games or so."

    Well no, they're not going to have five aces. But that's not the point...they need the starters they have to pitch better than they have the past couple weeks. A long reliever does nothing to fix that. Last night they used Megill, Smith, Cotton and Gordon. Inconsequential. I'd rather not tie up a pen spot on a guy who's only job is to pitch when it doesn't matter. At the very least, as a I said, it's way low on my priority list. Does anyone carry a dedicated "long guy" any more?
  12. USAFChief
    *27-16. Ups and downs, sure, but I don't think any of the Yankees, Dodgers, Astros, or Mets have had "long stretches of .500 ball." I agree they need reinforcements, but a "long reliever" is about last on my needs list. Someone to "soak up innings" when they're down 6-1 in the 4th doesn't make any difference. What they need are pitchers who prevent that in the first place and a bullpen that protects leads when they do.
  13. USAFChief
    I've had the same question forever, and still do.

  15. USAFChief
    They're actually 10th in runs/game. Runs scored isn't quite accurate due to differences in games played.
  16. USAFChief
    The Twins have informed the home plate umpire they are protesting tonight's game. "Their starter threw 118 pitches," said Baldelli. "That can't be legal."
  17. USAFChief
    Subject, Wallner. Provus: "And he's going to be in the Futures game too." Gladden: "And he's going to be in the Futures game too."
  18. USAFChief
    We can't even get challenges right.
  19. USAFChief
    On May 24th, the Twins beat Detroit 2-0, to go 27-16. That's their high water mark to date. If they lose to tonight, they'll be 22-26 since. Long term trend not favorable.
  20. USAFChief
    *** **** IT! ****!!
  21. USAFChief
    Everybody take a deep breath and remember who the real enemy is: the stinking White Sox!!
  22. USAFChief
    In all seriousness, you can tell me anything you want based off that chart and I'm forced to believe you. I've stared at it for 30 minutes and have no ******* idea what it claims to show.

  24. USAFChief
    Bad enough that Gray imploded. But I hate letting Johnny Effing Queto beat us. He's got nothing. One terrible AB after another. A good team should shell him every time.
  25. USAFChief
    Heh. He tried. And failed.
