    The same Tony O that amassed 6880 PAs? Played 13 big league seasons, 15 if you count cups of coffee in 62 and 63? That Tony O? Look, I know Oliva suffered a really bad knee injury in 72, missed almost an entire season. I'm pretty confident better medical treatment of today would have helped him greatly. But I'm also confident he wouldn't have dreamed of sitting out for a sore knee. You're not helping the team if you're not on the field. It's a long grind, and every player has to play through aches and pains and miner bumps and bruises if they're gonna stay on the field. If he's hurt, IL hum. If he's not hurt, get on the field.

    It's not just Colome, although I didn't like the signing at the time. It's more the lack of power options. Who can be trusted in that pen?
  3. USAFChief
    I have many problems with Baldelli's managing of this disastrous season, but I'll give him a pass on Colome. That's on Falvine, and there are no better options.

    Where's our guy throwing 100?
  5. USAFChief
    Smalley: "He was pretty close on that one!"

    I've always been alittle suspicious of Duffey, but I certainly can't fault the Twins for depending on him as part of this team's pen. He's had good results for 2 years running. But past him and Rogers, there's nobody there that I liked coming into the season. Spare parts, reclamation projects, slider specialists with 90 MPH fastballs. Just can't be expected to be consistently good.

    Do we know why Rocco took out Arraez for Lin? Does lin have much experience in LF?
  8. USAFChief
    I don't actually remember anyone saying that.
  9. USAFChief
    Duffey at 92 without control. Of anything.
  10. USAFChief
    I'm shocked the Twins bullpen gave up a tying HR.
  11. USAFChief
    Apparently there's a spreadsheet somewhere that says "stolen bases are irrelevant. Just ignore opposing runners." That's embarrassing.
  12. USAFChief
    your sarcasmeter might be set a touch high.
  13. USAFChief
    Props on thread title. Even though I want to punch you in the face.
  14. USAFChief
    Outside the first week of season, I wonder if that's the first time in history a team has featured a guy with a .000/.000/.000 line in the cleanup spot.
  15. USAFChief
    I wonder if Kirby Puckett would have sat out tonight's game with "a sore knee." I'm guessing not.
  16. USAFChief
    Garver is "near the middle of the pack in the AL" offensively? 58 OPS+ That's not near the middle. I also disagree with any ranking that has him as average defensively. He's pretty brutal. Play a game with yourself when you watch a Twins game. Count the number of times Garver drops a ball that hits him in or near the glove. Over/under is 3.5. Among the worst set of "hands" you'll ever see in a big league player. He also doesn't throw well, block pitches well, or (IMO) call a game well. I dont know why he has fallen off a cliff at the plate. Or if he can rebound. But he has to, because if he's not hitting, he is without any value.
  17. USAFChief
    I'm not sure it's "inspiring," but unique to be sure. He has an OBP LOWER than his BA.
  18. USAFChief
    Is there some law against taking on field BP and infield?
  19. USAFChief
    DIdn't they outright Tellis off the 40 man recently? I could be wrong.
  20. USAFChief
    Loozah.
  21. USAFChief
    Cave follows up with a tremendous AB.
  22. USAFChief
    does it though?
  23. USAFChief
    fireballs kids? Who?
  24. USAFChief
    to be fair, they're on the field for shorter half innings.
  25. USAFChief
    Dick and Roy. But yeah, Dick's mentioned that a time or three today. "Not in rhythm."
