    I definitely wouldn't have thrown Davis a strike. See if he'll chase, if not, first is open.
  2. USAFChief
    link?
  3. USAFChief
    routine 6-4-3. Couldn't have drawn it up any better.
  4. USAFChief
    can we blame the pen for coughing up another one today? Tough to lay much blame on Rogers, he's expected to get too many outs. But "hey, let's turn Littell into a high level guy," well, I think it's fair to question that plan.
  5. USAFChief
    Timely.
  6. USAFChief
    This ******* front office.

    a better bullpen and perhaps they turn two of those into wins. You're not going to score 6 plus runs every night. You need to win sometimes when you dont. This bullpen was never going to last the season, that's been pretty apparent since day 1. Besides which, I don't know what to do about the offense. Scuffling recently, sure, but how do you propose to improve it?
  8. USAFChief
    A true CBU.
  9. USAFChief
    the bullpen has cost the Twins three games just since the AS break. Take out Rogers and it is terrible, no matter how lucky they might have gotten for a time.
  10. USAFChief
    I would imagine the team looks at the bullpen and wonders why the front office has done nothing, too.
  11. USAFChief
    Perhaps if a follow on move had come in the 24 hours or so after the DFA, this line of reasoning would carry a bit more weight.
  12. USAFChief
    Thats... if that happens, its cowardly in the extreme.
  13. USAFChief
    Someone needs to tell the Twins front office they're allowed to improve the team during the season.
  14. USAFChief
    I don't understand why there hasn't been any real effort to help this bullpen. It's so blindingly obvious, this bullpen just is not up to the task of winning a pennant. It never was, and almost certainly won't be.
  15. USAFChief
    Just checked in to say, the next time someone tells you velocity isn't important, show them those six pitches.
  16. USAFChief
    Imagine the Twins without Rogers. They can't keep running him out there every time they get in a close game, for multiple innings.
  17. USAFChief
    "...not. one. tail. battled. off. Not one...."
  18. USAFChief
    Concur.
  19. USAFChief
    And Batman.

    respectfully disagree. Doesn't matter where the ball was caught. Until you're sure the ball is on the ground, your first step is always back towards the bag, even on a contact play. If it's caught in the air, you might get back. If it's not caught, play it as you see fit. If it hits the ground, you're off (on a contact play). If it's past the infield, you score anyway. If it's caught by an outfielder in the air, you're tagging up anyway. And in this case, the play was 150 feet away. Inexcusable to get picked off. Agree on Arraez. Shouldn't happen.
  21. USAFChief
    I was thinking the same thing, but also thinking..."Who else do I trust to get 3 outs with a 3 run lead?" And the answer is "nobody."
  22. USAFChief
    guys get doubled off third on line drives to first all the time? Again, I disagree. And as pointed out above, it wasn't even a strong throw to third, Olson threw from his backside. Cave just screwed up. It shouldn't have happened. Much like the play recently where Buxton got caught tagging and going to third on a fly ball to center, costing the Twins a run (and ultimately the game), I'm quite positive if you could privately ask the player (in this case Cave, not Kep), he'd say, "yeah, I know. Bad play on my part. Won't happen again."
  23. USAFChief
    I disagree. Even if the contact play is on, which I have zero problem with, that's on a ground ball. If the ball is in the air, your first step is always back towards third. The line drive was caught at first, not third, an entire infield away. There's no way to excuse getting picked off third on a ball caught at first. None. Fundamentals. That, plus the Arraez gaffe, cost the Twins two runners in scoring position. There's been a lot of that. Both of them were inexcusable, IYAM.

    This is what happens when you put Republicans in charge. Child labor laws? pffft
