    Woof.
  2. USAFChief
    Sanchez has hit some balls HARD recently.
  3. USAFChief
    Yeah. Or third. Maybe he'll stick at short. I've been wrong before. But I'd be surprised.
  4. USAFChief
    Let's send this Bieber character back to Canada, eh??

    It's Lewis's fault for not getting the bunt down. My question is why TF are we asking him to bunt?
  6. USAFChief
    Why are we playing for 1 run in the 4th inning of a 1-1 game with Smelzer on the mound?
  7. USAFChief
    True. But I am sort of a "born to play SS or not" kind of guy. It's one thing to learn to track fly balls. Responding to the variety of ground balls you get at SS is difficult to learn.
  8. USAFChief
    I have. I still have no idea what you're saying. We should play Buxton less so he can play more?
  9. USAFChief
    This is ridiculous. Half the games in CF. 2/3rds of the games even in the lineup If he's injured, IL him. If he's not injured, he should be in CF. Every day. Missing games, to avoid missing games, is...not well thought out.
  10. USAFChief
    Wut??

    Not a natural at fielding ground balls. He's out of position too often, ends up in an awkward position. Like on the soft ground ball this game with the messed up flip to Polanco. It was probably too soft to turn 2 anyway, but he has to charge that and field it with his throwing hand right next to his glove, so he can make the shuffle to second in a flash. His throwing hand was a mile away as he stabbed at it, so it would have taken way too long to make the exchange, even if he'd done so cleanly. Just a lot of little things like that. Instincts, coordination, natural ability to put yourself in a position to field ground balls, time and again, and turn them into outs. It's a hard thing to do. 3rd base is so much easier. Reaction, which I think he has. If course, I'm making this judgement based on a handful of games. I could end up wrong. But as I see it, he's not going to stick.

    Nifty DP.
  13. USAFChief
    Lewis isn't going to be a major league SS, IMO.
  14. USAFChief
    Not everyone.
  15. USAFChief
    Was rather hoping not to have to dip this deep into the "depth," but here we are. In mid May. Teams need to try a different approach at keeping pitchers healthy. The current protocols may have the best intentions, but they're not working. In fact, I don't think there can be any doubt things are worse than ever. And getting worser.

    I'd look for ways to get Urshela OUT of the lineup rather than shoehorning him in across the diamond, but that's just me. As for Lewis, he has done well. Hope it continues, but he looks awkward at SS and I don't think he'll hold up there long term. If he continues to hit, let him play 3rd base when Correa returnes.
  18. USAFChief
    Not often you get a 3 run HR and GS in the same inning.
  19. USAFChief
    The difference being, I didn't get physically sick or pound my forehead into the kitchen table when Seattle blew a huge lead..
  20. USAFChief
    Right. It doesn't count as an "earned run" but IMO that doesn't excuse the HR
  21. USAFChief
    The HR came with 2 outs. Makes both runs unearned. To determine "earned" or "unearned," reconstruct the inning without the error(s). In this case, the inning would have been over prior to any runs scoring. All runs unearned. Had the error check with 1 or 0 outs, then one run would have been earned. That's the official scoring protocol ...not my opinion. Pagan blows.
  22. USAFChief
    Yeah, I'm sure he does... usually he doesn't get out of there with so few.
  23. USAFChief
    Winnah
  24. USAFChief
    This Kwan kid looks like he can play.
  25. USAFChief
    I saw a meme recently....since game 7 of the 91 WS, no Minnesota MLB, NBA, NHL, or NFL team has appeared in a championship game.
