    Another game lost by that fantastic bullpen Falvine put together. Special thanks to both of them for ensuring the Matt Shoemaker experience didn't end with his long overdue removal from the rotation.
  2. USAFChief
    Sorry friend, none of this makes any sense to me. If he's healthy enough to be on any baseball field, he's healthy enough for that to be Target Field. He's not going to run slower in St Paul. Swing softer. A half dozen ABs makes zero difference getting ready to hit. If he can't run full speed, or play nine innings, or play every day, he shouldn't be playing at all.
  3. USAFChief
    Easier for me to watch that way though.
  4. USAFChief
    Really making sure they get their $2M out of Shoemaker, ain't they? You don't hand a guy a contract like that and just jettison him while there's still a few ****shows still paid for in advance.
  5. USAFChief
    The Twins are really good at manufacturing runs. ... While they're playing defense.
  6. USAFChief
    I'd say it's more the giving up a run without a hit or ball leaving the infield part rather than momentum, but what do I know. That's called beating yourself, which this year's team is incredibly good at.
  7. USAFChief
    Even 2 games in St Paul was a complete waste. What are they hoping to achieve by playing him in St Paul instead of Minneapolis? Makes zero sense.
  8. USAFChief
    Winner.
  9. USAFChief
    Not only have I stopped watching, I've stopped clicking into threads and commenting on TD. I'll have updates on my nonparticipation from time to time.
  10. USAFChief
    Kids today. I bet they don't remember the Queen of Soul.
  11. USAFChief
    Wut?
  12. USAFChief
    We need starters...Ricky Nolasco! Falvine, don't lose that number!
  13. USAFChief
    Winnah.
  14. USAFChief
    I'm still waiting for someone to tell me why Byron Buxton is healthy enough to play in St Paul but not Minneapolis. Makes no sense.
  15. USAFChief
    Uh...they already did that. Rob Refsnyder.
  16. USAFChief
    They used him on back to back days, which is the issue. According to the radio broadcast, hes never pitched back to back in his professional career.
  17. USAFChief
    The post game excuse is apparently a "ripped fingernail" for Dobnak. Good lord. Lame.
  18. USAFChief
    I'm about as big a Twins fan as you're likely to find. But there are limits to what I'll watch. Dobnak is on the wrong side of that limit line.
  19. USAFChief
    But they're not up at a "ridiculously high rate." The full season rates for 2017 and 2018 are a little lower than the 2021 rate, but 2019 is higher. If you combine 2017-19, as an average, it's almost Identical to 2021. There's no data in this article that should lead anyone to conclude 2021 is remarkable for injury rate.
  20. USAFChief
    Interesting article, Tom. Thanks. I have lots of thoughts running through my head, but for now, can you explain the theory that 2020 has had any effect on 2021 injuries? As I read your data, 2021 isn't unusual in terms of the number or length of IL stays. Am I reading that wrong? And why would fewer games played in 2020 lead to more injuries in 2021 anyway? If, for example, Rocco's habit of giving players more time off has benefits, then shouldn't shorter seasons also lead to more health in the future, rather than less?
  21. USAFChief
    Why are they wasting whatever few precious days Buxton is able to suit up with rehab in the minors? He should have been starting in Target Field tonight. Seriously.
  22. USAFChief
    That was Refsnyder. Bah-dum-tschh
  23. USAFChief
    Not to mention, he covers a lot of ground, too. Bah-dum-tschh
  24. USAFChief
    I'd much rather see Jax suck than Shoemaker. He has 6 runs to give up before matching Shoemaker's last start, and has gotten 1 more out. Edit: 2 more outs All of which is beside the point anyway.
  25. USAFChief
    Not to get all up in your face, but Jax is an Air Force vet. Those are US Army troops. We don't march and call out jodies in the Chair Force.
