    Why? Seems pretty relevant to me.
  2. USAFChief
    How different is this series if Rocco goes for a 2 inning save from Duran in game 1 of the doubleheader?
  3. USAFChief
    That was the PLAN. It's not like any of this is a surprise. That was and is their plan for him.
  4. USAFChief
    Shouldn't this "pitching pipeline" I heard so much about be helping by now?
  5. USAFChief
    Would it be possible for someone to have an opinion on Baldelli without getting chastised? Thanks everyone.
  6. USAFChief
    Bump.
  7. USAFChief
    Nope. Relievers the quality of Rogers don't just magically reappear after you dump them. "Just replace him" is ... poorly thought out. How? With who? The half dozen or more waiver wire wonders we churn through every year? That's how we got where we are. No, good bullpens aren't accidents, they don't result from "just throw enough **** against the wall and it'll work itself out." Good Relievers aren't "fungible," they aren't "the easiest thing to find at the deadline," and they aren't "unpredictable." I read over and over how smart Falvine were. Well, own it.
  8. USAFChief
    Again, interesting, since he basically said the opposite when hired.
  9. USAFChief
    I know we're not allowed to question Baldelli here, and I was willing to overlook not using Duran for a 2 inning save in game one of the doubleheader, but.. Then why was he available for 2 innings in a tie game today? I don't get it.
  10. USAFChief
    I can't think of a better way to spend money than on big bullpen arms. Seriously.
  11. USAFChief
    Those of you who crowed about "roster management" when Falvine traded Rogers don't get to complain about the bullpen now. Nor do those who said the bullpen was fine because they had a good fWAR in September last year.
  12. USAFChief
    Adjust your sarcasmeter.
  13. USAFChief
    It's more complicated than this, of course, but the reason he's a Minnesota Twin is he didn't get one last winter.
  14. USAFChief
    Whether the bullpen coughed up a 2-1 lead in the 8th, or a 9-8 lead in the 8th is irrelevant. Don't blame the offense for a weak pen. The offense handed Rocco and Pagan a one run lead with 6 outs to get. Losing that game is on the pen.
  15. USAFChief
    Such a weak bullpen. Chalk these bullpen loses up to Falvine.
  16. USAFChief
    Sonny Gray. Yuge.
  17. USAFChief
    All of the "better work-life situation as a college coach" takes are interesting, given Johnson told TD's own Parker Hageman the opposite when hired.
  18. USAFChief
    Concur.
  19. USAFChief
    The difference being, an employer would be obligated to pay a contract to its completion, even if they fired an employee. This is pretty shady, IYAM. I'd be surprised if money is the only issue.
  20. USAFChief
    **** this pen.
  21. USAFChief
    I agree on the last part. I've been saying for a long time now there are no "low leverage guys" in a bullpen.
  22. USAFChief
    Who could have predicted not addressing the bullpen over the winter was a very risky strategy? Trading your best reliever a terrible idea? These outcomes are at least partially the result of front office decisions. In the future I hope the front office changes tactics. A weak bullpen is difficult to maneuver around, ends up throwing away games, and erodes confidence everywhere.
  23. USAFChief
    An extension looks like a unicorn. Imaginary.
  24. USAFChief
    Wait...the author's contention is that Jeffers doesn't move his glove, and the ball, after catching it? Do I have that correct? Do not concur.
  25. USAFChief
    I believe it's only the Navajo Reservation in northeast AZ that switches to DST. The Navajo Reservation covers territory across three states, so to avoid confusion, they use DST across the entire Reservation. Interestingly, the Hopi Reservation--entirely within the Navajo Reservation--stays on standard time like the rest of AZ. This creates a "DST donut" in NE AZ. If anyone cares.
