    I don't want to start an argument either, but Rosario is 28.
  2. USAFChief
    pass.
  3. USAFChief
    And I don't for one second think he's not frustrated. At least I hope not. Might as well just tell fans they're wasting their money, it doesn't matter anyway.
  4. USAFChief
    Your theory is the Twins PR department had a meeting with Rocco prior to the post series presser and told him what to say? That none of this matters? You believe that was effective PR? That was so tone deaf it's beyond comprehension.
  5. USAFChief
    And the "1" in the "1 for 12" in game three didn't produce a run. That was Arraez' soft single to left, to load the bases in the 2nd inning,
  6. USAFChief
    Howeda nailed it, as far as I'm concerned...couldn't be more tone deaf. And for the record, he couldn't have managed worse in this post season. He had as bad a series as his team.
  7. USAFChief
    well, yeah. they will.
  8. USAFChief
    And 29 teams will be judged as failures. It was a great regular season, but that's not the goal.
  9. USAFChief
    That's patently false. The bulk of Atlanta's rotation is home grown. That's it. You have to do all of that stuff, AND add quality, to be successful. By the time the Twins minor league supplies the kind of pitching necessary to compete in the post season, if it ever does, much of the current roster won't be here any more. And then people will be saying just wait for the minor leagues to supply a lineup. Go big, or go home.
  10. USAFChief
    Great AB Kep.
  11. USAFChief
    Right, that's my point. I'm pretty positive he was positioned there on purpose, and not by his random choice.
  12. USAFChief
    No stripper, jokes please. Grammar matters!!!
  13. USAFChief
    I don't want Romo back. He's been pretty good, and certainly helped this team, but he's living on a literal knife's edge of effectiveness. I want bullpen arms like the Yankees have.
  14. USAFChief
    There's ample evidence Rogers doesn't handle a second inning well...yet he pitches a second inning and gives up a run. Romo out for a second inning...and gives up a run. Rocco has had a really piss poor post season (along with several players), there's just no way around it.
  15. USAFChief
    I'm going to assume the metrics placed him there.
  16. USAFChief
    The Twins have played better tonight, no doubt, and suffered from some bad luck. But they haven't outplayed the Yankees. Driving in runs in part of the game. Not giving up needless bases is part of the game. These things matter.
  17. USAFChief
    So is making the play required. Catching the line drive over your head...or catching the little popup 30 ft behind second base. Not making a ridiculous dive 10 ft from a single and turning it into a double.
  18. USAFChief
    Concur, and you really don't have good options. I rather take a chance on Kepler than play Wade.
  19. USAFChief
    you sure?
  20. USAFChief
    The Vikings at least occasionally get to the NFC Championship before needing the Heimlich maneuver.
  21. USAFChief
    JHFC Garver. He's been awful on both sides of the ball.
  22. USAFChief
    Sort of...in the short term. I would say that over the course of a 162 game season, baseball is the least luck based sport. Talent differentials are thin, but they are absolutely crucial and absolutely determinative over the long haul. The better teams end up winning in the regular season. Over the short haul, those thin talent margins lead to some wonky results.
  23. USAFChief
    yes.
  24. USAFChief
    That third run was huge. A bloop and a blast now no longer gets it tied.
  25. USAFChief
    The Twins had the same shot. Wouldn't take it. Wouldn't fight to acquire a Verlander, trade for a Cole, a Greinke. When talent is available, acquire it.
