    I absolutely have Duran ready for Merrifield. Duran didn't pitch Wed, only 14 pitches Tuesday, none Monday There is no chance I let Duffey pitch to Merrifield in that situation. Duran is warming immediaty after the 1st batter reaches. There was time. Even if you make a terrible decision and let Duffey cough up the lead, Duran HAS to be in vs Benintendi. Awful managing. There's zero reason Duran can't be asked for 5 outs, given the bad pen options and Duffey clearly struggling. Duran was getting the 9th anyway. Have him readying as soon as one hitter reaches vs Duffey.

    Has there been a single game this season where you would not have been able to buy tickets at the gate, and sit together? Maybe opening day?
  3. USAFChief
    Well, some think this isn't about winning a WS. It's about "asset management."
  4. USAFChief
    Limited no trade in 2022 (5 teams IIRC). Full no trade 2023 and 24

    I dont know everything, but I Sure Know Something. Given how few starters Wanna Rock And Roll All Night these days, the idea of an Ace might be gone Forever. It'd be nice if they could Shock Me and have a Mr Speed or God Of Thunder atop the rotation. But my Tears Are Fallin' because I see only a Duece in our future.

    They don't and have never. At least in my (considerable) lifetime. But it doesn't matter anyway. Somebody step up and accumulate some RBI. Then we'd have fewer no matter how you count em.

    Said so all winter: need bullpen help. Said so on opening day: stupid idea to trade Rogers. Really stupid. As for now, sure. Try to get legit help. Good luck. Prepare to deal some of that "pitching pipeline" to get anyone who is a legit upgrade. If you can even find an available reliever or two in May.

    MLB has never counted LOB in that manner. Here's the entire MLB box score, "Team LOB 12": https://www.mlb.com/gameday/royals-vs-twins/2022/05/26/661771#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=661771

    If he can't run, which the 9th tonight is pretty solid evidence, then he probably needs IL time.
  10. USAFChief
    As for the game, I don't understand: -how Duffey is allowed to cough up 3 runs without even having another reliever warming up. I understand there are times when you just have to trust the guy you brought in...but this wasn't such a situation. - how we get 2 OF singles with a runner on 1st and don't score. I realize ww lose the DH if we pinch run for Sanchez in the 8th, but...it's a 1 run game on the 8th. - if Buxton is so injured he can't attempt a SB in a one run deficit in the 9th, why isn't he on the IL? -what does Gordon provide?

    The Twins outhit the Royals 12 to 6 and left a whopping 30 runners on base The Twins did not leave 30 runners on base. That's not even physically possible in a 9 inning game. For the record, it was 12.
  12. USAFChief
    Terrible loss. I sense a tailspin in progress.
  13. USAFChief
    Yeah, no reason for Buxton to have stolen 2nd...
  14. USAFChief
    It doesn't come up that often, I don't think it's worth having a 3rd catcher on the roster. The real answer is have better hitters on the bench so Ryan Jeffers (or Gary Sanchez) isn't DHing very often if ever.
  15. USAFChief
    If Buxton can't steal 2nd in that situation, IL him.
  16. USAFChief
    But he still has his DH.
  17. USAFChief
    If he takes Sanchez out of the game, he needs to put Jeffers in at catcher. Thus losing the DH. Probably should have Pinch ran for Sanchez anyway.
  18. USAFChief
    They handed the bullpen a lead, late.
  19. USAFChief
    And I ask again...how does Sanchez not score on a single to left center?
  20. USAFChief
    I hate this offense.
  21. USAFChief
    Oh FFs. Now Gordon??
  22. USAFChief
    How do we not score there???
  23. USAFChief
    This team's bullpen cannot survive.
  24. USAFChief
    Oh FFS. I have zero problem taking out Smeltzer. I hate we have nothing better than Duffey. I REALLY hate sending him out with nobody else warming. That's on Baldelli.
  25. USAFChief
    Duffey coughs up the lead. I'm shocked.
