    Personally, I ignore WPA. On the K/9, it's an example of why K % is the better measure.
  2. USAFChief
    Had enough of this. G'night, Gracie.

    Coming into this series the Mariners had not won back to back games in June.
  4. USAFChief
    So close... Dog. Wondering if there really is a dog.
  5. USAFChief
    No.

    As it turns out, Happ somehow only giving up 1 in the bottom of the first was tonight's high point.
  7. USAFChief
    Yes, and the site was considered holy.

    What do you get when you cross an agnostic, an insomniac, and a dyslexic?

    Didja hear about the cheese factory that blew up in France? Luckily, nobody was hurt, but man what a mess. De brie everywhere.
  10. USAFChief
    To be fair, you're pretty much always under the influence.
  11. USAFChief
    40 percent of Long's hit total for the year have come off Happ tonight.

    I've gotten into racing snails in the past year or so. No, really. It's a thing. My best racing snail has been in a prolonged slump. I thought maybe if I took his shell off, he'd be faster. Didn't work though. If anything, it made him more sluggish.
  13. USAFChief
    Which part?
  14. USAFChief
    Sell!!1!

    This inning: walk the .181 hitting catcher who hasn't been on base in weeks, fail to cover first on a bleeder to the right side, give up a 2 strike single and then a bases clearing triple to hitters the Seattle fans hate, cause they can't hit. Let the last run in because your catcher can't catch. Well done, all the way around. Side note: coming into this game, the Twins starting staff's June ERA was just over 7.5. This isn't big league baseball.

    Also, to be fair I guess, there's a few more rockets over Celestino's head playing behind this staff.
  17. USAFChief
    Not to step too deep into this argument, but I don't think there's a great deal of difference in playing CF in AA or the majors. Hitting major league pitching is obviously much harder. Running down fly balls isn't. I've heard the second and third decks behind home plate in the show takes a little getting used to, but other than that, what's the difference?
  18. USAFChief
    Maeda had been on the IL for 3 weeks, and had only one rehab start of less than 60 pitches, IIRC. 76 pitches in 4 IP was enough last night. There are things to question Baldelli about over staff usage, but I dont think last night is unreasonable.
  19. USAFChief
    Chalk up yet another L for the pen. Jeez, they're bad.
  20. USAFChief
    RIP Mr Grant.
  21. USAFChief
    You're very adept at changing the subject. This discussion has nothing to do with who they should have signed. It started with me saying Shoemaker should have been DFA'D 2 weeks ago, to which you said players rebound all the time, and besides, they don't have anyone else. BTW, I'm with Kirbydome...although I roll my eyes rather than laugh when someone attempts to defend the front office with "who else?" as a defense of the front office. If Shoemaker is the best you have, 2.5 months into the season, you've failed miserably. Epicly.
  22. USAFChief
    I'd argue putting your organization in the position of needing a pitcher with an ERA over 7.5 and a WHIP over 1.6 is "not a thoughtful process."
  23. USAFChief
    Very hard to keep the faith in an organization that has kept Matt Shoemaker on the roster over the past several weeks.
  24. USAFChief
    Ick.
  25. USAFChief
    Pretty nifty pitching, José. Would like to see that a little more often.
