    At the time, the 630 AMSS (later the 730 AMS, IIRC). At the time I was the ranking 1st Sgt on base, so I was put in charge of coming up with a plan to secure all the base unaccompanied housing. You?

    It really hasn't changed at all over time. The platoon advantage/disadvantage has existed since somewhere around the 1st inning of the 1st baseball game ever played. RH hitters do better against LH pitchers, and LH hitters do better against RH hitters. Almost without exception. Opposite for pitchers. It's that simple. Finding enough RH relievers who can reliably get tough LH hitters out in key situations is tougher than finding a LH reliever who can do the job better.

    The proper answer: "What?"
  4. USAFChief
    Every team has aging but defensively capable players who just can't hit. AAA is littered with them, they make up the bulk of every AAA team.. They can find a Vielma any time they need one.

    The concept of "a #4 starter" or "a #2 starter" is a pretty meaningless way to look at starting pitchers. Wins and losses count the same no matter if they come from the guy who started opening day, or started the 5th game of the season. Starters should be looked at in terms of how they perform, not which day of the week. Every team wants the five best starters they can get.

    I was stationed at Yokota Air Base near Tokyo, Japan. Got called in to work in the middle of the night, I was a member of the base emergency response team. I got home 50 some hours later. What an awful feeling.
  7. USAFChief
    We're not talking about successful hit attempts. The data suggests the Twins can't successfully make an intentional OUT at a .500 rate. Which is pretty astounding.
  8. USAFChief
    Got a link for this assertion?
  9. USAFChief
    Turning Saturday into a loss hurts. It needn't be fatal, but an opportunity missed for sure.

    Why wouldn't a "long sit down" with Molitor have happened LAST off season?
  11. USAFChief
    What changed between the three run homer and the next hitter? The damage is done, let Curtiss finish the inning. Or take him out before the two LH hitters. One of the two.
  12. USAFChief
    I'm 99% sure the first one was a H&R. The second a straight steal...which should be rare with Rosario. He's not good at it. I don't think a H&R with Buxton at the plate is wise either.
  13. USAFChief
    That 0-2 pitch to Perez was pathetic. Buxton ran it down, but geez. Awful
  14. USAFChief
    This is exactly what the Twins should've done to last night's KC starter. Go up there looking for a "get me over" first pitch, and rip it.
  15. USAFChief
    PJ Fleck is the greatest coach in the history of the world. Hire him away, Falvine. Row The (Twins) Boat!
  16. USAFChief
    I wish someone "with access" would ask Molitor about all the sac bunting.
  17. USAFChief
    The wasting of outs is just terrible. The Twins gave KC 4 free outs, and playing the infield back in the 1st with 1 out gave KC their first run. And that's not even mentioning using Boshers before Rogers. Terrible managing from a poor manager.
  18. USAFChief
    I don't get the postgame...what'd he say? And did ANYone ask about the obsession with sac bunting?
  19. USAFChief
    I actually don't hold it against Molitor that Pressley, Boshers et al didn't get the job done. He has precious few good options. There's tons I dislike about Molitor, but the bullpen construction is on Falvine.
  20. USAFChief
    I don't mind Pressly in that situation. Awful execution though. Almost K's Cain on an 0-2 curve, then for some reason he and Castro decide an 0-2 FB is just the ticket. Base hit. Then a four pitch walk, and the inning is long gone.
  21. USAFChief
    Molitor's contributions tonight: 2 lost baserunners, 5 pitchers in one inning, 2 wasted outs with sacrifice bunts. I can't wait till he's gone.
  22. USAFChief
    Well, lot's of em got some experience tonight. In one inning.

    I'm ****** off about the crappy relief pitching, but I'm more ****** off about the ******* bunt in the 8th. Only one of those is entirely on Molitor.
  25. USAFChief
    No need to trade for help.
