    If Jax is in this game, it means Shoemaker is still in the rotation. I am losing faith.
  2. USAFChief
    This team's play should be an embarrassment to Rocco.
  3. USAFChief
    One thing they didn't do is pile up 14 K's, 12 of which come with runners on.
  4. USAFChief
    Winner
  5. USAFChief
    I hear Rocco has gotten tough with the team over defensive ineptitude...pregame infield is now "encouraged."
  6. USAFChief
    You forgot leadoff walk to hitter who hadn't drawn a walk in 2021.
  7. USAFChief
    Color me shocked.
  8. USAFChief
    Good thing I got my bet down. Yankees are currently -375
  9. USAFChief
    Your job us to set gambling odds in a Vegas sports book. What do you put the Twins at to win the current tied game? I've got Yankees -180, Twins +170.
  10. USAFChief
    Hey, didn't you used to be Josh Donaldson?
  11. USAFChief
    They might be quicker on average than the current team.
  12. USAFChief
    I dunno, they're all in their 40s at least now.

    "We're gonna need a bigger boat."

    Stop wasting the precious few days Buxton is able to put on a uniform and get him here for the last couple innings.
  15. USAFChief
    We've had several clean half innings. The bottom halves.
  16. USAFChief
    Gladden described it as "a headfirst...double."
  17. USAFChief
    Well lah-de-friggin-dah.
  18. USAFChief
    Do not concur. The 14 beers absolutely will help...with the sweating.
  19. USAFChief
    I believe if hitters chose to, they could certainly punish shifts to a degree that would make shifts counterproductive.
  20. USAFChief
    I don't think that's what he meant. And it's not at all what you said.
  21. USAFChief
    Nobody can "control" exactly where the ball goes, but many RH MLB hitters used to be able to hit a ground ball to the right side on a hit and run at a rate considerably higher than "random chance." The idea that a LH hitter can't learn how to consistently bunt hard down the third base line, or regularly take an outside pitch to left, is pretty questionable. The thing is, somebody has to decide things like that are important. That swinging from the heels at every pitch, in any count, in any situation, isn't the best way to play offense. Somebody, somewhere will, and soon. And it'll take a little time, but it'll work, and all the analysts at Fangraphs will marvel at the new way to play. Which won't be new. Shifts didn't just happen recently because nobody thought of them before. They wouldn't have worked, because players could handle a bat.

    I still push them aside, when the nice orderly tries to make me eat them in the home.
  23. USAFChief
    The risk in signing $2m starters and depending on them is seen in the 2021 Twins results.
  24. USAFChief
    Sorry, Spy, none of this makes much sense. If they "need" a long guy, which nobody carries any more, give Jax the starts and make Shoemaker the long guy. But worrying about that is pointless anyway. If Maeda makes his rehab start, he's not taking Shoemaker's next start. It's not a matter of 3.5 or 3.75 months...it's a matter of not wasting starts on a one year FA who isn't any good, in a lost season. There is no reason to have Shoemaker on this team. None.
  25. USAFChief
    KC is a trip every Minnesota based Twins fan should make. Easy drive, good food, and great ballpark.
