    When it's 90 percent of his PAs, and he's extremely power challenged, yes. I will point it out every time. Mauer hurts this team.
  2. USAFChief
    Not a single Oriole takes that pitch.
  3. USAFChief
    That's 99 percent on Gibson. Yeah, coulda been a GIDP. That leaves it at runner on 1st, 1 out. 5 runs later...its all in Gibson.

    Was that an 0-2 pitch, Gibby? Why yes, yes it was. I'm so tired of the same old ****. .

    He might have been taken more seriously if he'd updated his map. What are those...territories?
  6. USAFChief
    Take away their record vs the Twins, and the Royals are 17-18.

    Trading for a starter ruins a rebuild? Trading any prospects would be a "disaster," and "lead to 5 more years of awful baseball?" I think you have that backwards. "We're going to do this the right way," (i.e. NOT trading anything from the minor leagues) is one significant cause of the awful baseball. If, indeed, they are 2-3 starters away, trading for one, now, seems like a good way to get going on finding them. The other option is to do nothing. That's not an acceptable strategy. Not for now, and not for later.

    I can buy the argument he needed to start the season in Rochester to get some innings. That needn't have been over a month, though. You don't CHOSE to give a start to Tepesch over Berrios.

    WINNAH!!! Feels like we STOLE one!

    Y'know, people used to laugh at me when I said I would be a comedian someday. Well, nobodies laughing now.

    Mrs Chief and I love to go camping. A few weeks ago we were up in the beautiful Catalinas, just north of Tucson, at about 8000 feet, enjoying an absolutely beautiful, moonless night. The stars! Billions of them. Mrs Chief looked over at me, and asked, "Will you look at that. Tell me dear, what do you see?" "I see billions and billions of stars!" "And what does that tell us?" she asked? "Well, it tells me I'm but an infinitesimal speck in a vast, limitless cosmos. I am probably looking at other ecosystems, much more advanced than ours. What does it tell you, honey?" She looked at me for just a second, and said "Somebody stole our tent."

    At the same casino I talked about earlier, we went to see another magician. There's usually a pretty cosmopolitan crowd, and that night was no exception. We were in the back row, and right next to us were a French couple, a Spaniard, and a German. The magician noticed us way in the back, and he shouted out "can you guys see, way back there in the back?" So we all jumped up and shouted "Yes" "Oui" "Si" "Ja"

    Have a night, Robbie.

    Dick is close to an anueryism.

    Honest to God, I can't let this go. I want Mauer out of the GD lineup. I'm sick of this. I'd rather watch Park or Vargas take three big hacks and K than watch Mauer passively let every pitcher dictate every AB, while passing the responsibility of DOING SOMETHING to everyone else in the lineup. Edit: Hallelujah! Holy ****! Where's the tylenol?
  16. USAFChief
    ick.

    Did we really just take Sano out of the game for a trail pinch runner?
  18. USAFChief
    Mauer taking that 2-0 fastball, center cut, is a crime against baseball, and he's a habitual criminal.
  19. USAFChief
    In the count, I mean.
  20. USAFChief
    Mauer's going deep here.
  21. USAFChief
    Our third base coach **** up in the 2nd looms large.
  22. USAFChief
    I'm just a simpleton, I guess, because I'm pretty easily fooled by an ERA over 8, a WHIP of 1.71 and as many walks as K.
  23. USAFChief
    Oh I don't know. The first 3 or 4 hundred times aren't so bad.

    Here in Tucson we have 4 casinos, 2 each for the 2 native nations. They get some first class entertainment, too, and Mrs Chief and I like to take advantage. Last weekend one of them had a fantastic magician up from Mexico. I remember being so impressed, he told us he would disappear on the count of three, and just like that..."Uno! Dos!" and *poof* he was gone. Gone without a Tres.

    Duffey needs to stay right where he is. Throwing a couple miles an hour faster, and able to go through an order one time flipping that big curve up there. That doesn't work the second or third time through, particularly with lower velo and no third pitch.
