    Poor LaTroy is still trying to play the good broadcaster and urge a DP.
  2. USAFChief
    I want to care intensely about the outcome again.

    In retrospect, Molitor pinch hitting Morrison when he did was genius. At that point, it still appeared as if a HR might matter.

    Watch it, Canuck. You’re on our Presidents **** list these days.

    Also, this saves wear and tear on Belisle.

    I know this is unpopular, but I discount any player who’s offense is built around walks-based OBP. For one thing, walks aren’t as valuable as hits, and for another, depending on MLB pitchers to fear you and not throw strikes, when they have no reason to fear you, isn’t a viable long term strategy. And also eventually, you score runs by hitting the **** ball, not NOT hitting the ball.

    He was something of a celebrity on the board where some of us used to hang...Battle Your Tail Off. RIP.

    Someone talk me off the ledge...that’s not Brian Bass mowing through the middle of the Twins order, right?

    Whew...if Rosario got picked there I might need a new TV.

    Gracias, Senor Disco. I’m incredibly pleased to learn someone got that post.

    I think it’s physically impossible to be one’s own dad. Also icky.
  12. USAFChief
    I think they can risk it.

    //on iPad, don’t have the skills, pretend there’s a picture of Lloyd Christmas here// So you’re sayin’ there’s a chance!

    We already got one from Mauer!! How hard can it be?

    Little known fact: Randy Rosario is not Eddie’s brother.

    I loath Garver with the white hot heat of a thousand suns. What a terrible job of blocking the plate/tagging. Edit: we’ll take it, but he was safe, and Garver is still terrible.

    He sometimes makes bad decisions, this wasn’t one of them IMO.
  18. USAFChief
    I agree on letting him pitch the fifth. Absolutely. But then let him pitch it. Because if he was out gas, then he SHOULNT have let him pitch, and if he wasn’t, then there’s no reason to take him out there.
  19. USAFChief
    I blame you.
  20. USAFChief
    Molitor wasn’t the manager the last time he pitched...
  21. USAFChief
    Sue, Paul, if you’re going to let Berrios pitch this inning...then let him pitch this inning. Don’t pull him NOW. Finish the inning, you *********. Im told managers don’t matter though.
  22. USAFChief
    He clearly didn’t have good stuff or good command right from the first inning.
  23. USAFChief
    Sigh

    There was nothing wrong with Doziers play there. They ended up with runners on 2nd and 3rd, two out. That’s the exact same situation they’d have been in had Dozier retreated to 3rd. And he forced the Cubs to make a throw, and nearly scored. Typically on first and third, one out, you tell the runner to go on contact anyway, to force the defense to chose between coming home, which keeps the inning alive, or sttrmpting a DP, which will result in a run if they don’t turn it. The only thing I’ll say is in this case, they probably had no chance to turn two, with the first baseman so far from first, but there’s no way for Dozier to make that call in an instant. And we’d still have two on, two out, which is what happened anyway. Might even be first and third instead of second and third. The fault lies with Kepler, not Dozier. Get the ball into the OF.

    Not a sacrifice.
