    I concur, wholeheartedly, but we have plenty here who insist it doesn't matter.
  2. USAFChief
    We're getting the Yankees, round one, just so everybody knows. Unless we manage to fall into third in the ALC.
  3. USAFChief
    They look like it matters to them.
  4. USAFChief
    Sox are embarrassing the Twins.
  5. USAFChief
    What a GODAWFUL pitch. Robert will literally swing at anything.
  6. USAFChief
    How could McCann NOT hit that meatball?
  7. USAFChief
    Play the infield back and try to get the DP. Give up one run.
  8. USAFChief
    Excellent positioning by the Twins infield again, compounded by a silly throw.
  9. USAFChief
    Somewhat underwhelmed by Dobnak.
  10. USAFChief
    Can we get a 1-2-3 inning, please?
  11. USAFChief
    It wasn't deep enough, as I saw it, but I could be wrong.
  12. USAFChief
    I'm reminded of the famous Jerry Coleman (WWII and Korean War pilot, btw) call: “Winfield goes back to the wall, he hits his head on the wall and it rolls off! It’s rolling all the way back to second base. This is a terrible thing for the Padres.”
  13. USAFChief
    What next?
  14. USAFChief
    Blankenhorn sucks.
  15. USAFChief
    You got it, I won't make you look it up...Miguel Del Pozo. He walked 8 hitters in 3.2 IP for Pittsburgh, including all three Twin hitters he faced. If we can get THAT guy back in the big leagues, maybe Buxton will draw another walk.
  16. USAFChief
    By the by...still looking for the answer to last night's pop quiz: Byron Buxton has 1 (one, uno, less than 2) base on balls this year.e Which pitcher managed to walk Byron this year? We've established he's a lefty from the NL, but not Milwaukee or StL.
  17. USAFChief
    He certainly struggled this year, but he has 800 PAs of an .829 OPS. I'm not sure 61 PAs this year is a "sizable chunk," at least not enough to conclude much. I don't think he's a .900 OPS hitter like last year, but I'll wager he's not a .400 OPS hitter, either.
  18. USAFChief
    The problem of not being able to throw the ball past any hitters. Lack of a put away pitch.
  19. USAFChief
    Polanco's range is...not rangy.
  20. USAFChief
    after round 1.
  21. USAFChief
    great post. The lack of command also means too many pitches end up middle middle.
  22. USAFChief
    You can't watch the diminished command and sliders that roll up there like the one to Anderson, which have both been common place this year, and think it's just bad luck. Something is wrong. The Twins should have added to their pen at the deadline.
  23. USAFChief
    Agree, Particularly since I expect payroll to be down next year. Revenues have to take a big hit this year, and this would be one time where I wouldn't really complain about ownership dropping payroll.
  24. USAFChief
    Some thoughts: Angel Hernandez had very little to do with the outcome of tonight's ball game. That's just lazy excuse making, IYAM. He might have missed a vew close pitches, if you believe in the little box on the TV, but missed for both sides, and didn't seriously affect any ABs. It's been obvious for quite some time, Rogers is not the same pitcher he was last year. He hasn't got the same command of the fastball, and the slider often just rolls up there with very little bite and ends up a very hittable pitch. He seems to know that, and pitches defensively. I wish the Twins had added a shutdown reliever or two at the deadline. Very little I really trust out there, particularly against good lineups. I often read that RBI are not a good measure of offensive contribution. I do not agree, and offer tonight as exhibit 1 million. OBP is worthless without someone bringing those runners home.
  25. USAFChief
    The joy of winning the ALC, plus a home series to start the playoffs, plus the best chance of avoiding the Yankees? It would mean a great deal, if you ask me.
