  1. Dunno. BTW, Who hates Berrios?
  2. I believe his career bullpen ERA is 3.00, not 2.78. Which is still good, but in the interests of accuracy... I think you've also overstated his effectiveness. The only 2 seasons he had an ERA at or below 3 are 2013 and short season 2020.
  3. Certainly the defense that inning was a huge factor. As was walking the first 2 hitters of the inning. He pitched really well...but also had a hand in losing the game. As did the offense, yet again. But I'm not going to pretend there's not some blame to go around.
  4. That second inning was a real gem. And Berríos played his role, walking 2 to start the inning.
  5. Hey! Watch the math! You've been warned, buster!
  6. I think the problem was more related to his throwing to home plate.
  7. Spoiler alert: Aaron Rogers and Bryson Dechambeau win "the match." Rogers immediately demanded they extend his contract.
  8. But continues his streak of "chief needs a napper till colome blows town" innings.
  9. Can't give him "excellent" when the two runs allowed both came from walks. Very good through.
  10. I didn't vote, and won't. I don't know if Rocco should be fired. But I do know this: This is the worst MLB team I've ever seen at actually playing the game of baseball. Not talent. Not hitting, or pitching. Playing the game well. Throwing to the correct base. Hitting the cutoff man, who is in the proper position. Making heads up, smart defensive plays, running the bases properly. Advancing runners. Preventing opposing runners from advancing unnecessarily. Etc etc. Things good teams do that make a huge difference at any level, but particularly at the highest level where talent margins are pretty thin. And I think a lot of that can be attributed to a manager.
  11. Uh, sir...I teed that one up for SSOO, I'm afraid you've played out of turn, and will need to hit another ball.
  12. Who is not to be confused with Mrs June Cleaver.
  13. I've mentioned this before, but it's worth repeating...I've watched a lot of MLB baseball, and this team is the worst I've ever seen at playing the game. By a wide margin.
  14. In review, our Twins managed to pack into one inning 2 walks, a throw from the catcher into CF to advance a runner 1 base on a walk, a botched throw from deep second base on a play where no Chicago baserunner was trying to advance which also then advances a runner 1 base, and a 2 out base hit to a lh hitter with 1st base now open and a rh hitter on deck. Did I miss anything?
  15. The always difficult to execute throw from 90 feet out in RF.
  16. Trade from excess, and/or trade guys who won't be under contract soon. Neither of those things describe Donaldson.
  17. The problem is, he's the least objectionable option.
  18. Hansel, Robe-less. Not a pretty sight.
