    I wonder if Detroit will consider moving Verlander this offseason. //ducks

    If the Twins aren't good situational hitters, why would you waste an out bunting, to put the team in a situation calling for situational hitting? If they're not good at getting a runner in from third with 1 out...you bunt to put a runner on third with one out??
  3. USAFChief
    Yes, this is the disagreement. IMO he lost plenty of games by leaving his starter in until the damage was done.

    I don't know about that. Would Molitor have removed his best starter in the top of the first after recording 1 out? I sincerely doubt it. It's one of his primary weaknesses...his strong tendency to wait until his starter has suffered max damage, and THEN remove him. And it has nothing to do with the quality of his bullpen. If it did, he'd leave the starter in after the 3 run HR too.

    Great work, Tom. Hope you're back next year.

    I went with no, with enough conviction for the both of us.

    Revere has a career .280 MLB BA.

    Not to make light of this, but in the category "Things I wish I had said," put me down for a comment I read by an Onion reader: "House, Senate consider raising 'Thoughts and Prayers' debt ceiling." Absolutely brilliant.

    Concur. I thought the umpiring was great. Tight zone. And there were a number of Twins hitters who got pitches to hit, and didn't. Umpiring had nothing to do with this loss.

    Why do I need to go to Twitter for a TD poll?
  11. USAFChief
    He has 300 PAs of decent in AAA. Nothing of consequence (.700-ish OPS) in his other 4 minor league seasons. Zero power. His "good ABs" added up to a .611 OPS this year. If Zach Granite is your plan for fourth OFer, you're doing it wrong.
  12. USAFChief
    As a minor league emergency depth piece...ok. A 6th or 7th OFer. As a regular backup major league OFer? Wayyyyyy too limited offensively. No arm. No thanks.

    This is why when a Verlander becomes available, you don't wring your hands about giving up minor leaguers, wet your pants over paying his salary, or fool yourself into waiting for your system to develop its own ace. You put on your big boy pants and go play with the big boys.

    The Twins SHOULDT have knocked Severino out in the first? That was the mistake?
  15. USAFChief
    no. Pray tell, what IS the difference?
  16. USAFChief
    Whew, I'm home. Wasn't sure I'd make it in time for the game, my car wouldn't start and I had to take the bus home. I feel kind of bad too...the ride home reminded me how mean people can be. As I was sitting on the bus, a young lady got on with her baby. The bus driver took a look, and made a comment, I didn't quite catch it all, but something to the effect of "ugliest baby I've ever seen," or words to that effect. I felt bad, and she ended up sitting right across from me, crying her eyes out. "Tell you what," I said. "You go back up there and tell that SOB off! Here, I'll hold the monkey."

    I was in a Walgreens yesterday, when this duck walked up to the checkout counter with some chapstick. The counterperson was a bit taken aback, but recovered enough to ask, "Cash or credit?" "Neither," said the duck. "Put it on my bill."

    Sano did not look ready to face big league pitching this weekend. Seems like the right call to me.
  19. USAFChief
    There are no doubt literally dozens of people in the world who share this opinion.

    Sano doesn't look ready to me. Might as well let Grossman DH.
  22. USAFChief
    Yes, he gave the team some production, no doubt about it.
  23. USAFChief
    Thanks to everyone for another great year of game threads! I'm already stockpiling more top notch humor for next year.
  24. USAFChief
    It stays. Watch yourselves.
  25. USAFChief
    Anyone still having this issue?
