    I see you're unfamiliar with Danny Gladden.

    "they got the extra point but missed the TD."

    It cannot be said loud enough or often enough: SOMEBODY get the Twins to STOP with the annoying music between every friggin pitch. I can barely watch.

    Me? I'd wear my uni pants down around my ankles, putting the top of the zone somewhere around my hips.

    The official strike zone is the area over home plate from the midpoint between a batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants -- when the batter is in his stance and prepared to swing at a pitched ball -- and a point just below the kneecap. In order to get a strike call, part of the ball must cross over part of home plate while in the aforementioned area. http://m.mlb.com/glossary/rules/strike-zone

    It's an embarrassment to MLB that Del Poso is on a roster. 16 BBs in 11 career IP. That's not major league baseball.
  13. USAFChief
    How's that wild lefty In Pittsburgh's MLB pen? Feels like we stole one.
  14. USAFChief
    the Rockies are in first place in the NLW.
  15. USAFChief
    they'll just have every team get in as many games as they can, and determine post season spots by winning percentage. And I'm fine with that. There was no great plan to be had. We have baseball. Let's just enjoy what we get, and not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
  16. USAFChief
    Yes.
  17. USAFChief
    If the season ended today, the ALC would send 4 teams to the postseason.
  18. USAFChief
    10 runs over 4 games? Sounds like three of four to me!
  19. USAFChief
    come up with some new material, ferpetesakes. You won't catch me reusing the same old tired shtick.

    Among the many things Twins management deserves credit for, turning the pen into a legit strength comes in at the top for me. I'm a big believer in the importance of relievers to winning and losing. And both the FO and the field manager seem to me to have made it a priority. I want to give Rocco special credit for another thing...he's really good at not only using relievers by situations rather than innings, he's also way more proactive in getting his pen into a game than previous managers. I strongly believe in the old "lose a game early, its on the starter, lose a game late, its on the manager" saying. Rocco doesn't often lose games due to waiting until his starter has blown a lead and THEN trudging forlornly out to the mound to summon a reliever--AKA a "Molitor". No manager is perfect, but Rocco is light years better at taking his starter out before that happens.
  21. USAFChief
    nice try.
  22. USAFChief
    Huh? The strike zone last night was incredibly good, and consistent. There were less than 5 possible missed calls, by my count. One would have been a called 3rd strike for Dobnak, but resulted in only one more pitch, a ground ball out. Umpiring was not a factor at all.
  23. USAFChief
    yes
  24. USAFChief
    We got a call on that K.
  25. USAFChief
    I don't ask for much Insurance runs by the bunch And you know it don't come easy
