    That collection of relievers in Rochester is not going to be much help, is it? Maybe Romero, at some point.

    I fear Falvine's inactivity regarding the pitching staff this past winter is going to be difficult to overcome. Yeesh. The bullpen is thinner than my wallet.
  3. USAFChief
    Oh yes. I recall Vasquez for sure now...
  4. USAFChief
    if Austin finishes with five years in the big leagues I'll buy you a beer.
  5. USAFChief
    The thread title is correct...just now I recalled the name Andrew Vasquez.
  6. USAFChief
    Winnah. DeJong sorta took the enthusiasm out of that.
  7. USAFChief
    That's a 3.00 ERA, right?
  8. USAFChief
    Yeesh...dejong is de junk.

    Speaking of which...I remember my first visit to the doctor, about a week or so after I'd gotten out of basic training. The doctor did a complete physical exam, and as part of his questioning, asked me the last time I had sex. "1955," I told him. "Wow, airman, it's been quite a while then." "Indeed," I replied. "It's already 0745 the next day!"

    meh.

    He has 146 career PAs vs lefties. If you want to declare he can hit lefties based on 146 PAs, have at it. I won't.

    Just to further depress me, with Mrs Chief gone I've been so miserable it's like she's still here.

    You can't live on breaking balls alone. Lots of Philly hitters sitting curve in the last couple innings, getting pretty good swings.

    I don't understand the angst over Castro. He's a very good catcher, who will provide a 90-ish OPS+. He's not an offensive force, but he's not a black hole either. And I bet if you asked the pitching staff which catcher they prefer to throw to, his name comes up often. The Twins don't have the luxury of throwing Cleveland's staff out there every day. They need to squeeze everything they can out of the staff they have, and I think Castro is the best of the three in doing so. Garver and Astudillo will get their ABs, although I believe Astudillo will get most of his someplace other than catcher (and he'll cool down, too.) Garver is...pretty bad behind the plate, IMO. I think it'd be a mistake to hand over full time catching duties to him.

    Man, I haven't been around on game threads much so far this year. Truth be told, I've been a bit depressed. Mrs Chief ran off with my best friend. ... And I miss him.
  18. USAFChief
    yeah, it's a shame Muncey, Turner and Voit never got a chance... Anyway, Cruz is our best hitter right now. And yesterday, and tomorrow.
  19. USAFChief
    I loving your joke is wrong, I dont wanna be right.
  20. USAFChief
    I've filed a motion to have my grandson's name legally changed to La Tortuga. What stage am I?
  21. USAFChief
    I agree in this case Astudillo needs to see the field fairly often,. I'd play him mostly at third. but... I want my manager playing the players who have the best chance of being good today and tomorrow, not necessarily the players who were better yesterday or the day before that. "The players who are hitting right now" is a difficult, close to impossible thing to determine. I hope for a better decision making process than that.

    Royals Review has a writer that has trouble naming all 30 MLB teams?? LOLOLOLOLOL
  23. USAFChief
    Nobody has posted the magic nr yet?? Game threads have gone to ****.

    Great deal for both sides. The Braves insure themselves if he does become a star. Acuna insures himself if he doesnt. Both risk some money, buy some guarantee. Let's let Acuna actually become someone worth way more before saying the Braves got a steal.
  25. USAFChief
    its the third base umps call. I think he was screened, didn't see it well, and agreed to let the home plate ump change his call. But a ball that goes past the third base bag cannot be "correctly called foul" before it goes past the bag. It's not a foul ball yet. It could roll in foul territory all the way to the bag, veer inside the bag just as it gets there, and it's a fair ball.
