    Partially correct. I never grew up.
  2. USAFChief
    He has legitimately pitched extremely well, no matter who he faced. This isn't Alabama vs Slippery Rock. This is the major leagues.

    nicksaviking wins the internets.

    I expect no less from him every week on out through the end of the WS.

    Cave will be the first to go, whether that's when Astudillo returns, or Sano, whichever comes first. For the second of those, I am guessing they'll try to get back to a 12 man staff. Whichever of the bottom of the pen guys is floundering the worst goes down.

    I think one judges a decision by the information known at the time the decision was made. Just because I got home safely doesn't make the decision to drive drunk a good one. Just because Alcala later becomes a good pitcher, which can't be known at the time of the decision (and in fact, there is an extremely large chance he never becomes a good MLB pitcher, the same as any lower minors pitcher), doesn't change the math at the time of the decision. At the time of the decision, it was a poor choice to trade away a very good asset at a position of huge need during the time he was under contract. If, in fact, Alcala becomes a Cy Young contender, that'd be great. It won't change my opinion of the decision to trade him. And it shouldn't change yours. If you like the trade, great, but you had to have made that decision last summer, not five years from now.

    I would reply, but this doesn't apply to me. I'm an above-average Twins fan.

    He didn't need to be "July 2018" good. When traded, his stats for the year he had a 128 ERA+, 2.95 FIP, and 13 K/9. He was already the Twins best or second best reliever, with the arm and stuff to continue to get better results. He didn't magically transform into something way better in Houston.

    What's weird about Monday?

    Walk the elephant and pitch to the rhino.

    "Fly ball down the right field line...this one will reach the seats." Fair or foul, Danny? Seems kinda important, no?

    Hey!
  14. USAFChief
    Disappointing weekend.
  15. USAFChief
    really poor trade. Awful. Case closed.
  16. USAFChief
    Really disappointing weekend, if you ask me. I'm ready to move on from Pineda.
  17. USAFChief
    let's hope it's a no brainer to exercise it.

    I'd like to thank all contributors, but I want to give a special shout out to Randball's Stu. I absolutely love his contributions to this site.
  19. USAFChief
    Gonna need runs today. We have the team for it, so just do it.

    Nice job, Odorizzi! It's very encouraging, so far at least, that a bad game seems to be an isolated event, rather than the start of a trend. I really feel like the addition of Cruz has made a huge difference in the lineup, and in the dugout. Everyone else can relax, without the need to be the big stick in the middle of the lineup, and just having that recognizable big league hitter makes everyone else feel more legitimate.

    so did the pitcher.

    Man, it's getting nasty in the little neighborhood bar I like to stop at on my way home from work. As I was sitting there this afternoon, nursing a cold beverage, a lady walked in with a parrot. My friend the barkeep walked up to her and stated, rather nastily, "Heh, you can't bring that pig in here." The lady was somewhat taken aback, but after a moment, she calmly said, "That's not a pig, it's a parrot." "I wasn't talking to you," my barkeep replied.

    I don't remember Scott Erickson throwing harder. In fact, I saw him pitch for the UofA several times and if anything, he threw harder then. What I do remember was TK leaving him in to try to complete his third consecutive complete game shutout at Boston in May 1991. He took a shutout into the 9th, but was clearly gassed, and while he did complete the game, he gave up three runs in the 9th, which wasn't the bad part. His arm was never the same after that game.

    Which I believe is Jun 3-5
