    So close. Not a fastball. We'd love to give you credit here, but game threaders have verrrrrry high standards. Still a couple PAs for Garver to make you look good, though.

    Does Rosario know his hair looks like that?
  3. USAFChief
    yes.

    Ass-too-DEE-Yo!!

    The other day Mrs Chief asked me to hand her her lipstick. I handed her a gluestick by mistake. She got pretty mad. In fact, She still isn't talking to me.

    I had to stop by the bank this morning. This little old lady, behind me in line, asked if I could help check her balance. Well, I like to help out where I can, so I gave her a strong shove. Her balance isn't great, let's just say.

    Garver actually fouled a ball off that time. Progress.
  8. USAFChief
    That'll work.
  9. USAFChief
    Donaldson is a good player.
  10. USAFChief
    Suboptimal baserunning from Kirilloff.
  11. USAFChief
    Mr and Mrs Beiber?

    A little splash of cold water reality from Garv Sauce.
  14. USAFChief
    Who is Francona Colome?
  15. USAFChief
    We just need to be on youtube, apparently.
  16. USAFChief
    Great. Just great. Now Cruz coming up with nobody on base again!
  17. USAFChief
    OK start, I guess. I'd have prefered the first pitch, but whatever.

    I understand it was a "brain fart." What it WASN'T, was not knowing. The post I responded to claimed Rocco was on the phone and "didn't see it happen." BS. It's a rather inexcusable mistake, IMO. This is the major leagues. Or supposed to be. He cares that little about his job, it's that unimportant to him?? I pay for better than that. I mean, I'm not asking for his firing. But IMO we need better out of some players, and we need better out of the manager. Stop giving your best players a day off every week. Recognize and admit your March plan for the bullpen ain't working, and adjust accordingly. On field BP and infield should be happening every day, and not voluntarily. Pay attention during the game, for Pete's sake. BTW...some WERE trying to excuse it. For example, you posted that Seth claimed it wasn't a mistake, cagey old Rocco was "buying more time for Robles to warm up." That sounds like "denying they made a mistake" to me. With a totally fabricated reason, BTW.
  19. USAFChief
    He's certainly having a rough season, but you don't fire a manager for 3 weeks of work.
  20. USAFChief
    I'm not sure where this "reason" originated, but I'm not buying it. I mean, come on. The bullpen phone is in the dugout. Rocco was on that phone, and SO preoccupied, for the entire time Wes Johnson went to the mound, that he DIDN'T NOTICE?? Wes Johnson made the decision to go visit Berrios and didn't tell Rocco?? Before OR after the visit? This "rationale" is ridiculous. It can't have happened. It's impossible.
  21. USAFChief
    I would think his asking price is plummeting.
  22. USAFChief
    I still like Maeda as a starter, but last year's 60 game sample was an aberration, not something that was likely to be repeated. I think he'll be fine going forward...an above average starter on a great contract. But not someone likely to be in any CY conversation again.
  23. USAFChief
    Among the many, many things that could be said, or asked, about this game, one stands head and shoulders above all else: "What the **** was that 8th inning about?" Edit: I guess it was too much to ask a beat writer to question Rocco on the monumentally stupid decision to let Colome struggle through a hit batter followed by three walks (and it should have been four walks if not for a gift K) in the 8th inning of a 1 run game: no mention in the Strib game story. Nothing. I mean, come on!
  24. USAFChief
    I hope his response would be, "Look, I've asked Falvine for a friggin bullpen since last October, and I just thought I'd give both of 'em another good look at what they gave me to work with. Ask THEM what the hell that 8th inning was about."

    loozah.
