    It's not that hard, A-Ray. Tell, em. Aggies. Aggies: "it's incredibly hard."
  2. USAFChief
    ftfy.
  3. USAFChief
    Well, those 2 runs in the top of the 8th are pretty big now.

    And there it is! Smalley: "I haven't seen a pitcher with as good of stuff as VerHagen tonight." Roy. Please. We're not stupid.
  5. USAFChief
    As would I. Let's hope he is.

    I would argue Berrios looked ineffective and pretty lucky from the first hitter of the night. Twins hitters never generated any sustained pressure on about as bad a starting pitcher as you'll find in MLB. Baldelli lets Berrios pee away a very lucky 3-0 lead with unfathomably poor pitching management. Car wreck from the first pitch.

    I'm gonna need a few years to believe he'll hit .300 over time.

    Everyone's HOFer Arraez last 28 days coming into tonight:.721 OPS Last 7 days: .558 OPS Easy guy to like, but he ain't a .350 hitter, and he has little to no power.

    While I'm working up a good rant on Rocco...you won't use your bullpen until AFTER an obviously struggling Berrios blows a 3 run lead, but NOW you're perfectly happy to burn through the top half of your bullpen in a game you trail. Brilliant.

    Post of the night. I don't want to hear "gotta tip your cap."
  11. USAFChief
    Buck. Farmer's in.
  12. USAFChief
    Yeah, I"ve seen an A-7 offsuit preflop raise work. Just never for me.
  13. USAFChief
    Could use a double here, Kep.
  14. USAFChief
    Was his kicker a king?
  15. USAFChief
    I just...I can't let this go. I'm asking myself why Baldelli would let that happen. I can't come up with a reason. I can't even conjur up a reasonable possibility. Anyone?
  16. USAFChief
    Gonna have to go some to get to .500 on this homestand.
  17. USAFChief
    Terrible.
  18. USAFChief
    Berrios shouldn't have been in to give up the double that drove in the first run, much LESS the line drive out, the walk, then the grand slam, then another line drive hit. He was struggling to put away hitters all night. Saved from an inning by an incredible play from Castro. How does that happen? What was the idea there? You haven't played a game since Wed afternoon. You can't let Berrios, clearly struggling, piss away a 3 run lead. I hope they come back and win, won't change a thing about Rocco's decision making. Terrible.
  19. USAFChief
    I have no idea why Berrios faced any of those last three hitters. That is INCREDIBLY bad managing. Mind boggling-ly bad managing. Come on. You're in a pennant chase here. That can't happen.
  20. USAFChief
    And Rocco. AND ROCCO.
  21. USAFChief
    When Cabrera goes 8-13 in this series, with a dinger and 7 RBI, we'll know who to blame.
  22. USAFChief
    I follow baseball pretty closely, yet there are 7 players in Day-twah's lineup I've never heard of. Perhaps I don't follow baseball as closely as I think. Harold Castro? Ronny Rodriquez? Jake Rogers??
  23. USAFChief
    I'm reminded of that great old Labelle classic, written about playing the Tigers: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, day-twah? Hey Gardy...you wanna give it a go?
  24. USAFChief
    False. I cared then, and I would still care now. There is no combination of events that could have occurred that would have made trading Pressly acceptable, IMO. And no outcomes from Alcala/Celistino will change that view. I don't know how many times or ways I can say this. The trade should be judged based on what's known at the time. And even if we accept this year-later hindsight view, or the "they should have followed up with these other moves" view, there is zero chance the Twins bullpen wouldn't have been been better in 2019 with Pressly than without. NO MATTER WHO they might have added, short of 8 Mariano Rivera clones.

    Not ONE ending in -zee?? No Cave-zee? Cron-zee? This is an invalid list.
