You're literally arguing in a thread you have stated you don't wish to read. There are 27000 baseball threads. Did you know the Twins DFA'd Coulumbe today?
I question why someone would feel justified to describe the actions of those in the Twins locker room as "liberal." How about "on the side of humanity?"
I don't think it can be argued that the bullpen games havent had a negative effect on the pen. Sundays game played a role in losing last night's game. Alcala isn't brought into a 1 run game against the top of the order if the better options weren't unavailable. I also agree with the point above about lack of fastballs from Alcala. It was weird.
Yeah, maybe. But he's 40, it's only his 3rd start (2nd since coming off injury), and he's thrown a total of less than 8 innings all year. Personally, I have no problem with taking Hill out after 5. I blame Alcala.
