    Or in Twins Territory: "Maybe Next Year," and "Waiting for Maybe Next Year."

    It's one damn fine opinion, from start to finish.

    Wha???? Terrible information? He NAILED it!

    In 2018 more batters struck out 100+ times (151) than qualified for the batting title (141).

    ...dated Oct 27th. http://www.startribune.com/names-to-consider-for-twins-manager/498804051/ I can't even.

    "A couple of locations on my circuit had a very strong odor of weed..." Weird. Every single blog of yours contains this exact wording.

    When Rocco leads the Twins to the 2019 WS, I promise you nobody will have predicted it. Can't believe it'd be anticlimactic, either, but that one's not as clear. I guess if the Twins win in five, we'll just have to live with it.

    Boston-Houston was the actual World Series. But no matter, the Twins aren’t giving back their 87 Trophy, nor should LA if they come back this year.
  10. USAFChief
    And you delete a good bat from the lineup, in favor of a bat already demonstrated to be not worthy of said spot.

    Players DO get hurt, which is why there’s plenty of room for a McCutcheon. He starts in right, with Kepler the fourth OFer/spare first baseman, and Cave in AAA. Or Kepler in CF, Cave on the bench, and Buxton in AAA. If nobody gets hurt, and everyone performs, great. If not, then Cave comes up, and we’re not seeing Ehire Adrianza in left.

    I take great joy, nay jubilation, at seeing the preening, self agrandizing, style every catch, camera seeking jerk that is Puig get that bat he tossed shoved right back up his ***.
  13. USAFChief
    I'm guessing there was a touch of sarcasm in the post you quoted.
  14. USAFChief
    Which river?
  15. USAFChief
    I guess nobody stayed for the finish. I gave up after the top of the 18th. How long did it go?
  16. USAFChief
    Concur. When u watch the postseason, what you DONT see is AAA pitching.

    In addition to adding needed talent, set about assembling a staff that, in a relatively short time, will be getting interviews from other teams for bigger and better jobs.

    I think this is the exact wrong way to look at it. Having poorer options is the reason it's so important a manager make good decisions. When you have multiple good options to choose from, the decisions aren't all that critical. Leaving Verlander in or pulling him for one of several shut down relievers probably doesn't matter all that much. But when you don't have Verlander, or many shut down relief options, it's incredibly important a manager has the best available option on the mound at all times, to reduce the disadvantage he's at. You can't keep Odorizzi on the mound past the point where he's maximally effective, because he starts at a much lower point of effectiveness than a guy like Verlander. When Verlander loses 10 percent, he's stlil pretty good. When Odorizzi loses 10 percent, well, he's not. Likewise, You can't overuse your best relievers simply because you don't have many good ones, so you save them for important outs whenever possible. Making smart, short- and long-term pitching moves is one of the primary reasons managers matter. They will sometimes backfire of course, because every pitcher sometimes give up runs. But putting your pitchers, and your team, in the best possible position, way more often than not, will pay off. And putting your pitchers (and team) in bad positions too often will hurt you just the same.

    Now get some players, that's what.
  20. USAFChief
    Exceptionally well spoken and seemingly very genuine and likable. I don’t know how that could have gone better.
  21. USAFChief

  22. USAFChief
