    I don't see "whiffable" stuff. Never have. Just a guy.
  2. USAFChief
    NEXT!
  3. USAFChief
    Robbie Grossman and Chris Herrmann. yeesh.
  4. USAFChief
    Unbelievable throw. On the other hand, I couldn't be more "meh" with Mejia.
  5. USAFChief
    Man, that was some poor managing, if you ask me.
  6. USAFChief
    I can't blame much of that on Sano.
  7. USAFChief
    That is entirely on Baldelli. Odorizzi shouldn't have even came out to start this inning, much less be around to give up 4 runs in four hitters. He was obviously off from the 2nd inning on. Extremely poor command, velocity off, breaking stuff flat, and lucky to only give up the two runs leading up to that.
  8. USAFChief
    Who didn't see that coming?
  9. USAFChief
    I gotta disagree, there's been nothing fast about this.
  10. USAFChief
    Buxton catches that.
  11. USAFChief
    Yeah, at your age that happens a lot, I bet.
  12. USAFChief
    Is that really true? I'm doubtful.

    The guys playing drums and cowbells has been going on every game probably as long as the A's have played! How is it that suddenly some of you are hearing it? put your hearing aid back in, old lady twins fan

    Your boss called, he wants to know how he'll be able to tell. ... I kid, I kid...
  15. USAFChief
    Dunno why you pitch a LH hitter down and in, ever.
  16. USAFChief
    Anyone sort of amused by the cowbell?

    Well, OK, if it's a Chief story you want, it's a Chief story you get. Mrs Chief and I were ... struggling a bit recently, despite decades of marriage. She finally talked me into going in for some counceling. We sat there in this frumped up doctor's office, and for an hour all I heard was complaints. Not enough this, too much that, no passion any more, yada yada yada. Well finally the doctor, a young kid barely into his 50s, stood up, walked over to Mrs Chief, asked her to stand, and then gave her a passionate kiss, right on the lips, for what seemed like a minute. "You see that?" he finally said after coming up for air. "She needs that at least 3 times a week. Do you think you can make that happen?" "Well, no," I said, "I can drop her off Mondays and Wednesdays, but I bowl league on Fridays."

    AFAIC, Blake Parker has the least value going forward, then Morin. At the least, losing Parker would mean not having to watch him get ready to throw a pitch.
  19. USAFChief
    Stupid, should've cloned Rogers.
  20. USAFChief
    Well ok, but stay off my lawn.
  21. USAFChief
    Well, the obvious and only possible explanation is, we cleared the roster space because Bumgarner will join the Twins in Oakland. The only questions are, is Smith coming as well, and how badly did we rip them off?
  22. USAFChief
    I don't care a whole lot about the AS Game, but my personal preference would be the exact opposite of your list, with #3 being #1, and vice versa. I don't view a player having a hot April/May as necessarily being an All Star. On the other hand, Mike Trout should be an All Star almost no matter what his first half stats are.
  23. USAFChief
    Nitpic: He's almost 27. The problem, of course ,is everything is trending the wrong way with Syndergaard. If you pay for the Syndergaard of 2016, there's a pretty reasonable chance you will be disappointed. I'm all for trading for help, and depending on the price, wouldn't be opposed to Syndergaard. But I'm just not sure the substance is greater than the name. And I don't think he's been better than Cole. Cole's a year older, but has been much healthier, for one thing. So yeah...trade for Syndergaard. But only if you can get him for what he's likely worth.

    Kennedy seems available and realistic, and at least appears to have made a successful transition to the pen.
  25. USAFChief
    Well, lots of folks are ready to hand second to Arráez, but I say pump the brakes, people. For one thing Snopes is a really solid defensive second baseman, and for another, Arráez has no power. None.
