    we have to wait THAT long??
  2. USAFChief
    something not connected to MN in any way.
  3. USAFChief
    It’s like he hasn’t done a damn thing since April 12th.
  4. USAFChief
    And a physician.
  5. USAFChief
    Four weeks ago I did. I’m still hopeful. Delusional, too, maybe. But still hopeful.
  6. USAFChief
    I hate you.

    By the way, there are four May games in need of a game thread volunteer: May 2, 12, 13, and 23. Let’s get those games taken care of! You know what to do...PM Chief and Carole. We’d be ever so thankful.
  8. USAFChief
    No, it’s not. But I couldn’t care less about a few walks. That’s not what wins games, either.
  9. USAFChief
    That’s what I don’t understand...what is the thought process? I hope it’s money. I hate that, but at least I can understand it. I hope, really really hope, it’s not that someone thinks he is a viable MLB pitcher.
  10. USAFChief
    Brian Bass also needs to be in there somewhere.
  11. USAFChief
    It’s rare for players to drop off a cliff. I think he’ll hit.
  12. USAFChief
    If I were cynical, I’d almost think they knew Hughes would get shelled, and they’d need an expendable arm to eat innings last night.
  13. USAFChief
    Six...count em, SIX...guys worse than LaMarre. There are no words.
  14. USAFChief
    Fantastic! Thanks Dave the D!
  15. USAFChief
    Agree with comment above...there are no baseball reasons why Phil Hughes has gotten a start for thus team. Also agree that Morneau--one of my favorite Twins ever--was rather...bland and monotone in the booth. And while I'm at it...would it be possible for Mauer to drive in a run on occasion? Perhaps not start every AB with runners on base by looking at two strikes?
  16. USAFChief
    That's kind of the point. I'm not sure what you do about the bullpen, except hope it gets better. It was built with Hildenberger, Rogers, Duke, and Rodney as featured parts. There aren't reasonable alternatives. But there isn't any reason Phil Hughes NEEDS to be on the roster. ANYwhere. There are other starters in Rochester, and giving one or two of them some starts till Santana returns seems to me WAY more likely to have some minimal success than Phil Hughes throwing 88 with bad command and no breaking stuff to speak of. It's just...inexplicable. Why?
  17. USAFChief
    Can someone explain to me WHY Phil Hughes started this game tonight? What is the reasoning? Seriously. Is it the money? Because I can sort of understand that. Do they feel like they "owe" him one last opportunity, out of loyalty or something? Or do they actually think he's the best available option? I hope to all heck it's not this. This would not be a good thing.
  18. USAFChief
    Outscored 13-3 after the 1st inning. So far.
  19. USAFChief
    He needs to improve quite a bit to be a AAAA reliever.
  20. USAFChief
  21. USAFChief
    Votto, who everyone brings up every time I complain about Mauer, has swung at the first pitch twice tonight. HR, double.

    I come to the game thread with a heavy heart tonight. My friend Sal, who used to meet me for a beer most every afternoon, passed away yesterday. We had a deal...we both loved baseball soooo much, and we wondered whether there would be baseball in heaven. Our deal was, the first to die would come back and tell the other if there was baseball or not. Well, I got a visit from Sal this afternoon. "I have good news, and bad news, my friend," he told me. "The good news is, there IS baseball in heaven. The bad news is...you and I have box seat tickets to take in a doubleheader this Sunday."
  24. USAFChief
    Uh...that's his heater.
  25. USAFChief
    Duffy doesn't have the ability to change.
