    Tonight's Twins-Angels game postponed due to Covid contact tracing. Had a bad feeling when Simmons was DL'd.
  2. USAFChief
    concur.
  3. USAFChief
    Ha! Tricked ya! I'm not wearing any pajamas.
  4. USAFChief
    Interesting ideas, worth a try in the minors, except making the strike zone larger. All that will do is increase K's.
  5. USAFChief
    Whatever's on second?
  6. USAFChief
    Whom's on first.
  7. USAFChief
  8. USAFChief
    No, they don't.
  9. USAFChief
    All of which would seem to indicate there wasn't an infield fly automatic out called.
  10. USAFChief
    If an infield fly automatic out had been called, there'd be no force out of Trout at 2nd.

    11. How long must we endure those fugly blue uniforms? If there is a God in heaven they'll be put in the attick and NEVER brought out again.
  12. USAFChief
    This is absolutely not one of the top bullpens in baseball. That is simply rose colored glasses talking. It's decidedly below average, particularly compared to good teams.
  13. USAFChief
    If management was serious, given how this team has started, he'd be here already. Saving a year 7 years from now is ridiculous.
  14. USAFChief
    Not good, to put it midlly. Might not be a player. On another note...who here still thinks this is a good bullpen?
  15. USAFChief
    I fully admit I don't really know the answer for pitchers. I do believe strongly the lower workloads of today have done little to keep pitchers healthy. I don't know how to fix that. Maybe more work for younger pitchers, not less. Might be worth a try, dunno. But my rant is about position players. As to spy's comment, I don't think 2 weeks into the season is enough evidence to indicate Rocco won't be needlessly giving his best players more time off than is necessary or warranted. That's his MO. The rant was more preemptive in nature than a reaction to last week. And I remain convinced it's counterproductive.

    we're trying to force both Garver and Jeffers into the lineup why? To get Jeffers' bat into the lineup? Garver's stone hands into the infield defense?
  17. USAFChief
    Yeah I don't understand why Thorpe didn't go in the DHer. Seemed to make more sense.
  18. USAFChief
    Buxton. SMH.
  19. USAFChief
    serve it with some greasy grimy Gopher guts.

    Thorp is starting tonight. Dobnak threw 3 innings in relief Tuesday.

    Randball: pro tip ...make the humor obvious, so nobody could possibly miss it. ....

    4. True story: I probably related this already, but in case not, I was in attendance at the famous Joe Niekro ejection in Anaheim. Halfway up the third deck, somewhere between home and 1st...and I clearly saw the nail file go flying.
  23. USAFChief
    except Shoemaker was clearly done, well prior to giving up the 3 run jack to a LH hitter. That was an awful decision, and many said so before the HR. Personally, I would have sent Pineda out for the 8th today, with a short leash, but I have no problem with starting the inning with Robles. No problem at all.
  24. USAFChief
    I thought it odd they didn't start Thorp (or someone) in the doubleheader. Seemed like a more workable plan. Extra player and all. That also would have let Maeda and Berrios stay one behind the other in terms of rest days.
  25. USAFChief
    Quality and quantity aren't the question. I understand Jose Berios isn't as good as Nolan Ryan was. But that's a differnent argument than Jose Berrios can't throw as many innings as Nolan Ryan. In any case, it's unrelated to "it's not necessary or productive to give position players so many extra days off."
