6 would be a steal at this point -
Damn that pitch count is high though
-
I would classify that more as regular news than anything else
-
I’ll take my chances on a young guy over someone who had a 5.50 ERA last year
-
Yeah so was this guy, doesn’t mean I want him pitching
-
If Rich Hill starts down the stretch or starts a playoff game for us, I’m throwing punches
-
Oh FFS come on
-
See ya in 25, Joe.
-
Do they measure spin rate from second base now? Damn stat heads
-
Well, if we lose this series, it can’t be by one game, so you won’t be too angry
-
Ober is somethin
-
I still think DHs should be two 7’s
-
Some probably refuse to talk about their injuries because they’re afraid they’ll automatically be out for weeks at a time, as precedence has shown. Royce made comments that seemed to indicate as much after his last injury.

I’ve said before that the overly cautious approaches to injuries is something that I think becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy with a lot of our guys. I think it gets to a point where players expect to come out of a game at the slightest injury, and may even expect to have a day or two off because of it. It’s a mindset. Injuries, actual ones, happen and obviously some things you can’t play through. But Rocco pops out of the dugout to check on a guy at the slightest awkwardness, hitch, blip, whatever. I feel the same about starting pitchers looking to be removed late in a game at the slightest bit of trouble. If you have a culture where there’s nothing wrong with coming out of a game and/or missing a handful of games at the slightest bump, how could you expect the players to have a different attitude? Long story short: I think there’s quite a bit of coddling/babying/extreme cautiousness that goes on under this regime and I don’t think it helps. You’ve got to be tough to win, still, in this era of analytics and built in days off..

Knowing when and how to call pitchouts….throw overs….coaching up pickoff moves or getting faster to the plate. We have no chance on most of the stolen bases we allow. They’re stolen on the pitcher. Especially with a guy like crow-Armstrong. Guy was running as soon as he got on base. Did we call a pitchout once? I honestly don’t even remember.

He wasn’t even Little Richard today
-
It’s tough for any pitcher to go from spitting sunflower seeds and doing god knows what else in the BP in the third inning, to being pushed right in to the fire even if he’s got as much time as needed to get loose. Personally I would have used the long guy, maybe he can go 3 innings and get you to the 6th. Lord knows we’ve had plenty of 5 inning starts over the years. Regardless, he shouldn’t have been left in that long. 5 walks? Come on.
-
To be fair, most clubs are going to struggle when losing their #2 starter
-
If you had Winder available to go 3 innings, why would you toss in the new guy who was unlikely to go multiple innings? edit: nevermind, I thought Richards had pitched on Monday but he hadn’t since Sunday. Although he’s not a longer relief type anyway
-
Is the coaching staff ever going to step in and figure out how to stop teams from running at will on the twins? The twins entered today with the 7th most SBs allowed per game. Add 4 on from today. It’s a huge problem and nobody seems to be doing anything about it. We don’t even make it close most of the time.
