    Now THAT's how you do it.

    Anybody know who's pitching the day after tomorrow, at newly named T-Mobile? Y'know...Saturday, in the Park.

    There's "hurt," and there's "hurt." I have a hard time feeling terribly sorry for someone who is otherwise just fine, but lost his ability to throw a baseball over 90 MPH. His life hasn't been affected in any material way, other than perhaps his ability to earn additional millions of dollars. I feel bad about someone who had their legs blown off in Iraq. That's hurt.

    I'm reminded of my sister... She always had it in for me. Thought I was "the slow one," "the one most likely to be homeless," blah blah blah. She thought of me as stupid. She was Always so superior. Well, she got pregnant many years ago, and unfortunately, she fell ill, eventually lapsing into a coma. Her boyfriend had ran off as soon as he got a whiff of responsibility, so if fell to me to see after her while she slept away in a hospice. Eventually, she came to, and we were all relieved. The first thing she asked about was her pregnancy...had she had a baby, and if so, was everything ok? "Relax," I told her. "Everything is fine. You had twins! A boy and a girl. I named them for you." I could see the terror in her eyes. OH NO, she was thinking. My idiot brother probably picked some awful names. "Uh...what did you name them?" "I named the girl Denise." She relaxed a bit. Let out a breath of relief. Not so bad. "And the boy?" "Danephew."

    More cracks about my age. Lovely.
  6. USAFChief
    Yes. That was a setup, wuddenit?

    The results have been adequate to date, but that's pretty fortunate, IMO. And the situation is pretty abysmal, IMO. The replacement for one of their primary bullpen pieces is a journeyman 32 yr old who has never had any sustained big league success. Imagine the Twins bullpen situation if Taylor Rogers were to come up injured. They will not survive the season with the current bullpen options, IMO.

    Moving to Tucson just in time for June? They're doing it wrong.
  9. USAFChief
    Oh sure. Brag about how young you are. Real cute.
  10. USAFChief
    Least of all the band Chicago.
  11. USAFChief
    Even his parents are surprised by the recall.
  12. USAFChief
    Yes.
  13. USAFChief
    Byron Buxton has a higher OPS than both Max Kepler and Eddie Rosario.

    https://youtu.be/7uy0ldI_1HA MLB games can start at 7 PM? Who knew? Me likey.
  15. USAFChief
    yuk. The front office has done a nice job in many areas, but the bullpen situation, both in terms of MLB options and 40 man options, is abysmal.
  16. USAFChief
    Felix was Canadian, no? "Pea - eh?"
  17. USAFChief
    The trade deadline is 2.5 months away. "Package 2-3 guys reated 10-30." I don't think that gets it done. "Packaging" more minor league filler isn't going to interest anyone. If that worked, why not just "package" 5-6 guys rated 31-60? 10-12 guys rated 100-150?
  18. USAFChief
    the manager needs to take some of the blame for Hildenberger?? Also, Hildenberger hasn't been good since a few weeks his rookie year. Decidedly below average. You dont get an accurate picture of a player when you only consider his successes.
  19. USAFChief
    hildenberger was good when he was a mystery to MLB hitters for a few weeks in 2017. He's been mediocre or worse ever since.
  20. USAFChief
    there is one good MLB reliever on your list, and a couple back end maybes. I find a great deal to complain about.
  21. USAFChief
    I'll keep saying it. The Twins cannot survive with the current bullpen options. Taylor Rogers and hope the rest are good dodgers isnt a good plan. I trust one guy out there. And I suspect Baldelli feels the same.
  22. USAFChief
    JHFC. Get some bullpen help.
  23. USAFChief
    every reliever will pitch meaningful innings. There is no place to hide poor relievers. This isn't on Baldelli.
  24. USAFChief
    Hildenberger needs to go. Never have liked soft tossing junkballers, never trusted him, hate wasting a roster spot on a change up artist.
  25. USAFChief
    Pitching around Lastella to get to Trout.
