  1. Seemed pretty ordinary to me.
  2. Given what he’s had to deal with this year, I’d probably go with Francona.
  3. Looking forward to seeing some right-handed power tonight from Garver, Cruz, Sano, Cron and/or Schoop against the lefty. Should be some bombas from that group.
  4. And this is a succinct explanation of why signing free agents is a good idea.
  5. The next year he led the Blue Jays in innings pitched and wins (they were 25-9 when he started), and they won the first World Series in franchise history. I wouldn't have minded having him for 1992, even though his decline definitely began that year.
  6. Jack Morris went 6-0 during the Twins 24-3 streak in 1991. Morris won the last game of the streak, then the Twins lost 4 in a row. Morris then stopped the losing streak with a 3-0 complete game shutout over the White Sox and Jack McDowell (the White Sox finished 2nd). From May 24-June 30, Morris was 8-0, with three complete games, pitching 65.1 innings, with a 2.07 ERA. He was pitcher of the month in June and started the All-Star Game. Morris also pitched a complete game win against the A's in August, the night after we won in 12 innings, and after the A's were only 1.5 games back of us coming into the series. The A's faded after that and never got as close to us the rest of the season. Morris was strong down the stretch and ended up leading the team with 246.2 innings and had a 3.43 ERA in the regular season. Morris won Games 1 and 4 in the ALCS. He won Games 1 and 7 in the WS, and was pulled while we were ahead in Game 4. He pitched 36.1 innings in five post-season starts and won the WS MVP and Babe Ruth award for best player in the playoffs. I love what Cruz has done so far, but it'll have to be a lot more to knock Jack Morris off the top spot.
  7. It does seem like after last night, we should be going with "Rocky". Edit: Just read Randball Stu's latest. "Gabriel" would work as well.
  8. So is this the beginning or the end of the conversation? Edit: Obvious Chief setup.
  9. I’m really proud that our boys scored so many runs in the bottom of the eighth without swinging at any 3-0 pitches.
  10. Based on recent history, I’m a little surprised we didn’t challenge that play.
  11. Strength of lineups can change quickly. Witness the 2019 Twins.
  12. White Sox appear to have a good back end to their bullpen. They aren’t far from being a good team all around. Could be competitive next year.
  13. When you’ve got nothin’, you’ve got nothin’ to lose.
  14. I’m hoping for a less than three-run inning.
  15. Sure, worms, but how about itsy bitsy spiders?
  16. Sign behind home plate “Dallas Truck World” is redundant.
  17. How many times has Smalley used “mantra” in this series?
  18. Last I checked, he still had both arms.
