    I thought they were only playing 2 today.

    Nice job Dave! I have given the "no schedule for game thread" issue much thought, and come up with a solution. I've scheduled you for game thread duty for all remaining regular season games. You're welcome.

    I remember back during the dot.com boom, it was tough to recruit enough young folks into the Air Force. As a Senior NCO, I was sent to a local county fair in Texas, to help man a recruiting booth. Well, right away, the first morning, two strapping young Texan boys stepped up to the booth, and we started talking. I asked the young man who appeared the younger of the two "What do you do?" "Pilot" he said. "Well that's just excellent!" I said, as I turned to the airman helping man the booth and told him to sign this Texan up ASAP. I looked at the other, and asked him the same question. "And what do you do?" "I chop it!" he beamed, as proud as a peacock. "Chop what?" I asked. "Wood!" he exclaimed. "Well," I said to him, "We don't really need any wood choppers in the Air Force, but my sincere thanks for your interest." "Well ya'll won't be needin' my brother then, neither," he drawled. "And why is that?" I asked. "He won't be a pilin' nothin till I gets done choppin' it!"

    Hey! Spoiler alert!!

    It should be noted nowhere in this article are the Minnesota Twins mentioned.

    The original point is that the Pressly trade was a bad idea, regardless how the return ends uo. Can you at least stick to arguing against the points made, rather than inventing extreme strawmen to shoot down? Trading their best bullpen piece was shortsighted, regardless what they may or may not have done this winter, and regardless if Alcala is in the 2023 rotation. Decisions should be judged on what's known at the time of the decision. That decision was a bad one then, remains one today, and will stay a bad decision 5 years from now.

    They most certainly do. We traded what's-his-name for Matt Capps.
  10. USAFChief
    Well of course not. He didn't need fixing.
  11. USAFChief
    Fair enough, and I do. But I don't think the way to build a sustainable winner is to trade off your good pieces. And those were not my seeds, officer.
  12. USAFChief
    Falvine probably don't second guess themselves that often, but I bet in a private moment each have thought to themselves..."yeah...prolly shouldn't have dealt Pressly."
  13. USAFChief
    Your internet search skills are unparalleled.
  14. USAFChief
    Well no, it's not sufficient reason. But it's certainly something to consider, when you're contemplating trading away from a bullpen that will surely need help in the coming year and a half, if you expect to be more than mediocre.
  15. USAFChief
    Dysentery was always my to-go.
  16. USAFChief
    Hate to overreact, but some pitching warts exposed big time in this series.
  17. USAFChief
    Total numbers of anything at this point are pretty deceptive. The Twins have played fewer games than any other AL team.
  18. USAFChief
    Nobody is, amiright??
  19. USAFChief
    Non concur.
  20. USAFChief
    winner.
  21. USAFChief
    It is hard. If it's not, why the **** didn't they acquire help this winter?
  22. USAFChief
    uh...no. Sogard has XBH's and RBI.
  23. USAFChief
    The counter to this argument is, trading away a needed asset, with the vague promise of free agency or some possible benefit in 2023, is a really bad idea.
  24. USAFChief
    An "arbitrage gain"? Is that the goal? I thought the goal was to win baseball games.
  25. USAFChief
    Eric bleeping Sogard. Another nobody who has the series of his life against the Twins.
