    The whole challenge system is stupid. Have someone overturn the play from the booth if it should be overturned. Should take ten seconds and managers wouldnt have to worry about screwing it up.

    Why don't they show the k-zone? Looks like Vargas had a couple of legit gripes.

    We sure make Bauer look good compared to what the rest of the league does against him.

    I'm hoping we think big and support this surprisingly good team. Maybe we can finish off the Giants today, who are now 16 back of the Rockies, 13 back of the DBacks, and still without MadBum for a while. Then, see if they'll dump Cueto's salary on us for cheap.

    Unless I'm writing a brief. Briefs are rarely brief.

    I like to be brief.

    I'm in Santa Fe on Mountain time. I love my Saturday morning Liverpool games. Can't imagine getting up at 4:30 am for the early game, though. I definitely enjoy having baseball games at reasonable times, so I don't have to stay up past midnight! And on the weekends, games start in the morning.

    Lemahieu just won a batting title last year, and he's a better fielder than Dozier. I don't think there's any chance the Rockies trade for a 2b (or any infielder for that matter).

    Captain InSano!!

    Do you mean creme fromage?

    Isn't there another thread or two where people are talking about the bullpen? I understand venting over the last two games, but this is getting ridiculous.
  13. Don Walcott
    If this were last year, the last two games wouldn't be such a big deal. But the Twins have our hopes up, and we're ready to be disappointed. This is still a fun team to watch, and we're still in the playoff race. Maybe some time this evening we can stop talking about the bullpen and start talking about how good the rest of the team is -- especially Berrios! GO TWINS!

    What many here were saying last season and over the off-season may be the proper formula for getting peak performance from Mauer -- give him some rest. He's been rested more this season, and I hope they continue to rest him so he can perform near this level for the whole season.

    On the Game Thread yesterday, there were all sorts of doomsday predictions. That makes sense as those were two very tough losses to stomach. However, this may be an opportunity for this team to show some character. I really hope so. The relief pitching situation is a no win. Sure, the FO could have done more in the offseason, but what's the point of rehashing that over and over again. What do we do now? We don't want to trade prospects. Some of our best prospects are hurt or not ready. Looks like we're stuck with what we have. So it'll be a rollercoaster ride for the rest of the season while we figure out whether to fish or cut bait on several of these guys. I like the Nick's summary, and would add that there are very encouraging signs in our developing young core players. Sure, they all have had slumps and bad moments, but they have dusted themselves off and gotten back in there. After he endured a historically bad slump, seeing Sano hit a homer yesterday was great. I hope Rosario responds with a great game today (I think he will).

    You may be right. He did help them last year with a .744 OPS, playing pretty well at 3b, and he's very good at stealing bases and running the bases generally (helmet on or off). And they did barely make the playoffs so that they could win the Wild Card game and then get trounced by the Cubs. However, as good as that would sound to us, that's actually not success as defined in San Francisco, especially in even numbered years. And now, Nunez is a 29-year-old utility infielder who is sticking at 3B for the Giants for lack of other options. His .675 OPS is 20th among 3Bs. The Giants are 11 games out of first already, and 9 games out of a wild card position, both of which belong right now to other NL West teams. They have a handful of aging players who are definitely trade bait this season, as they have very little chance of catching up with Col, LA and Az in the next month or so. So they'll be looking to rebuild, and Nunez isn't particularly helpful in that process for them. I think they'd trade him back for Mejia in a heartbeat, and the Twins would laugh at that offer.

    Credit is due to the transition team after Ryan's firing. I liked the move at the time selling high on Nunez. I'll bet the Giants wish they had that one back.
  18. Don Walcott
    He's already getting trolled by some idiot. Oh well, most of the comments were very positive. I thought it was very amusing.
  19. Don Walcott
    If right now means this game, Berrios is perfect. . . . So he's wrong about that.
  20. Don Walcott
    Chuck Nasty, as the Rockies call him.
  21. Don Walcott
    The Rockies seem to have figured out how to not hit to Buxton tonight. They've hit quite a few out to Grossman. Smart team. Grossman is brutal.
  22. Don Walcott
    Wow.
  23. Don Walcott
    Hughes is smoke and mirror. Just the one mirror . . . and a little smoke.
  24. Don Walcott
    And that person finds themself very amusing.
  25. Don Walcott
    Buxton!!
