    Welp. Bad defense, bad pitching, bad managing. No offense. Suboptimal.
  2. USAFChief
    I doubt they're listening to Bremer, so they probably feel fine.
  3. USAFChief
    Bremer makes me ill.

    Someone (Arraez) should also have been 50 ft into the outfield on that triple, too. That would have been a double. It's not like hard caroms off the RF wall are unusual at TF.

    Positional flexibility bites the Twins in the backside yet again. Play your first baseman at first, and your outfielder in the outfield.
  6. USAFChief
    Can you expand on this theory?
  7. USAFChief
    And it cuts that annoying 10 day minor leagues waiting period down to just 1 or 2 days!
  8. USAFChief
    As well as which not to!

    Perhaps one lesson to be learned is, waiting until 5 minutes before the store closes before shopping can lead to poor purchase decisions.

    I don't understand how July 2019 was too early, but December 2019 will be perfect. It seems to me the only thing different will be the 2019 season will be over. What else? I also don't think that adding difference makers in MLB is like shopping on line at Amazon. You can't just wait until the perfect time to buy, there isn't an unlimited supply of the item you want. I don't think Houston made a conscious decision to wait a year to buy Justin Verlander. I think when they did, they realized the opportunity to do so was rare and fleeting, and they better do what's necessary to complete the sale, because tomorrow there most likely won't be a Justin Verlander available for purchase. I think they would have gladly made that purchase a year earlier, but they couldn't.

    we're going to need spots for every minor league pitcher of note, but not one OF prospect can take Rosario's spot? Not sure that's realistic.
  12. USAFChief
    the Twins dont seem to know they're supposed to roll over KC like Cleveland does.
  13. USAFChief
    Man, when you get in Rocco's doghouse, you will be there for a while. 1 pitch? With a 5 run lead??
  14. USAFChief
    That's the exact situation I specified. 3 run lead or less, Rogers gets the 9th. He's been the closer for weeks now. Pretty sure I even remember Rogers getting the 9th with a 4 run lead. Who was the last pitcher to start the 9th in a save situation other than Rogers?
  15. USAFChief
    who has gotten a 9th inning save opportunity other than Rogers since the AS break? Other than, uh, new guy.
  16. USAFChief
    He used him anyway, and Then use somebody else, just not arrived-in-5th-inning-guy.
  17. USAFChief
    Prolly not random chance.
  18. USAFChief
    i hope he chooses the option of not hanging any more 0-2 breaking balls.
  19. USAFChief
    So...he exhibited unusual performance. What else might have been unusual about the circumstances? Maybe it WAS random chance. But I think it’s reasonable for people to wonder if putting in a pitcher who literally arrived on your team mid-game was the wisest of choices. Particularly when there were multiple options, including the guy you’ve by default and action designated as your closer. The guy you went to anyway. It was bizarre, risky, and most damning, completely unnecessary. At the very least, for example, it would have been impossible for Dyson, the pitching coach, and the catcher to spend more than a few minutes...during the game mind you...to review the plan, what Dyson throws, the hitters due up, and on and on.
  20. USAFChief
    they told you Wednesday at 8, for a Tuesday at 7 game?
  21. USAFChief
    The problem with Warne's tweet is, if Rogers was available...and we know he was...its a three run lead, Rogers is the guy you've decided gets the 9th with a 3 run lead. You put Rogers out there to start the 9th. If Rogers cant be used 3 days in a row, what was he doing out there today?
  22. USAFChief
    Nope. And not only that, the entire TD community holds you personally responsible for today's melt down. Shame on you sir. Shame, shame, shame.
  23. USAFChief
    By the way, did the Twins put Trevor May in the Witness Protection Program or something?
  24. USAFChief
    HIS WHIP IS #### also!!1!
  25. USAFChief
    Personally, I don't see anything wrong with removing Pineda when he did. Pineda had been giving up hard contact all game, and was due up to hit. I think every manager in baseball removes him for a pinch hitter there. Yesterday and today's pen management is open to some scrutiny, for sure.
