    Proven veteren pitchers often have the wheels fall off if they skip a start? No. No they don't. If they do, they never get the chance to be "proven veteren starters." The "too much time off" thing is a canard, as far as I'm concerned. It has nothing to do with anything. Nine days is not too much time off.

    Or, he put Meyer back out there to have a chance to pitch a clean inning, with the "nerves" relaxed a bit, and rebuild a little confidence. The excuse making for Meyer is...excuse making. You want to be a big league pitcher? Perform like one. It ain't Molitor's fault.

    I imagine that would have went over well with the board, too. In any case, he sat an extra 4 days. He would have waited five days minimum between starts in Rochester, so they essentially skipped a start. If that's enough to throw his entire game off, you're right. He should be in AAA, and he should rot there, because he's not a big league pitcher.

    I keep Molitor, if forced to chose one.
  5. USAFChief
    What would you suggest he have done? Bring him into a winnable 1 run game, so he could put up that performance and actually cost the team a game? If anything, he put him into a situation where he should have felt as little pressure as possible. The game was pretty much over. He STILL crumbled like a 2 week old cracker.

    Does Alex Meyer bear NO responsibility for his resutls? He did the same last year.
  7. USAFChief
    That's one way of looking at it, I guess.
  8. USAFChief
    He'd be throwing in the bullpen between starts anyway.

    I can't see any possible way Alex Meyer is a reliable big league starter. None.

    See? Huge difference between Meyer and Fein. Meyer is taller.

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    If by picture, you mean "cave drawing," then maybe.

    Good use of the arb process on Fein, Mr Ryan.

    Just put it on a tee, Casey.

    Meager crowd here for tonight's game thread. I wonder if all the regulars are at Target Field. ... No, that's not it.

    Baseball? It amazes me the human race was able to procreate.
  17. USAFChief
    I thought you might've gone with Davey, Mike, Peter, and Mickey on that'n. Too obvious, I guess.

    That inning ending catch was a bit more interesting that it needed to be>

    Took the bus home from work today. This lady got on with a newborn, and the bus driver was just brutal, calling it the ugliest baby he'd ever seen. She sat down next to me crying her eyes out, just a wreck. I felt bad and told her she should have given the bus driver a ration of crap right back, she'd have felt better. "In fact," I said, "you should still do that. You go up there right now and tell that SOB off. I'll hold the monkey."
  20. USAFChief
    yes.

    Park hit that ball hard. That's all you can do.

    WIth the off day yesterday, Mrs Chief and I went to the horse track. I picked a horse at 10 to 1. The nag finally got to the finish line at two thirty.

    Miguel Cabrera is what I always hoped Joe Mauer would grow up to be.

    The grounds crew didn't design a middle finger into the grass.

    A three legged dog walks into a bar in the old west, and says to the barkeep, "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."
