    That's not the trick. We'll get five more outs. The trick is five more outs before 5 more runs.
  2. USAFChief
    Also, all five were with the bases loaded.

    Precisely what I usually end up doing to my dinner at some point in most Yankee games.

    Rogers for the seventh, Belisle for the 8th, Hildy for the 9th? .... Wait...what was that middle thing again?

    That reminds me. I went on Amazon earlier today and ordered a chicken and an egg. Mrs Chief and I have a wager on which one comes first.

    I think you did that a half inning ago.

    Up on the north edge of Tucson, along I-10 on the way out of town towards Phoenix, a new outlet mall just opened up recently. They had a grand opening weekend, and it was just nuts (according to Mrs Chief...I don't shop). Anyway, one of the name brand clothing stores ran out of stock and there was a huge fight among the shoppers over the last few items. Multiple casual tee's were reported.

    Dude. Seriously. That means there's 4 innings left.

    I had a sandwich today, with mustard, and couldn't shake the feeling I'd had the exact same thing at some point previously. It was dijon vu.
  15. USAFChief
    1) I was told there'd be no math, and b ) as long as we're doing it, I count 3 pitchers and 1.5 hitters on the active roster.
  16. USAFChief
    Which "young 'uns" are they playing? Last night's lineup featured one player under the age of 25...Jorge Polanco. Velasquez was the only pitcher under 25. And for the record, not everyone wanted this roster.

    You realize you're responding to two separate quotes, from two separate posters here, right? As for the portion I wrote: the 40 man roster in 2016 looked a great deal better than it does today. In 2016, Sano/Buxton/Kepler/Rosario/Berrios et al were in the big leagues, 2 years younger, and still looked like a solid corps on the verge of emerging. There were good, major league quality pieces on the 40 man such as Dozier, Escobar, Nunez. Mauer was two years younger. The 40 man in 2016 was a great deal better than today. If there's a comparison, it'd be to the 1980's, not 2016, in terms of 40 man rosters largely bereft of plausible upside. And yes...I'm older than 2.

    I can tell you one place where they're getting it wrong: take a look at the current 40 man roster, two years into their tenure. Arguably worse than at any point in my lifetime. And none of what young talent they do have has been signed to a long term contract. Not one single player. Maybe they've made improvements behind the scenes, but you'll have a hard time convincing me it's made any positive difference to date. And maybe they have a strong lower minor league system. We've had that in the recent past, too. And as Twins fans, nobody should have to tell us a strong lower minor league system isn't a guarantee of anything. It's only been two years, I get that. And they weren't handed a healthy organization. But it's reasonable to conclude the organization is in worse shape now than when they took over.

    Now we know for SURE it’s hypothetical.
  20. USAFChief
    Spoiler alert: Vikings...season opener was today.
  21. USAFChief
    And there were multiple PAs by Twins hitters that could have changed the game too. And even that is granting that Buxton makes that catch, which is easy to speculate about, but pretty difficult to guarantee. Balls fell with Buxton playing CF too. I think everyone agrees defense is important. And Buxton is a very good center fielder. But you cannot hit at his level and be an asset.

    FSL Flags Fly Forever.
  23. USAFChief
    I’m hoping for results. The rest is pretty meaningless to me.
  24. USAFChief
    Our DHs this year have posted a .686 OPS. 79 OPS+.
  25. USAFChief
    Fresno State won 10 games last year, including a bowl game. They returned most of their team, and are considered to have an outside shot at a New Years Day bowl this year. This is a nice win against a good G5 team,
