    DFA that man!
  2. Darius
    Watch yesterday, troll? (Sarcasm)
  3. Darius
    You mean after then dropped 4 of 5 and were down to about 20% not long ago. Yeah, statistically, it wasn't real likely they were making the playoffs then. Why is blind homerism the only accepted form of game thread banter?
  4. Darius
    Lol, I've been saying this all year. Partly trolling guys like you. But, they have had a serious issue moving runners in situations like that. A lot of K prone guys. But, I'll defer to you. Condescension is directly correlated to wisdom, after all.
  5. Darius
    You really haven't notice that tendency this year? You must have missed more than yesterday's game.
  6. Darius
    If you think about it, the way the ball travels in on a hitter with his delivery is more like a lefty.
  7. Darius
    Wow. Really didn't think that bases loaded screw up would matter, as the Padres have checked out. We don't deserve to make the playoffs if we drop games like this one.
  8. Darius
    This is a big one for the bullpen. Really glad Hildy is back out there.
  9. Darius
    The more runners on base, and the fewer the number of outs, the less the likely the Twins are to drive in the run. This is beyond axiom, to hard-and-fast law of the physical world at this point.
  10. Darius
    I like it. It shows exaxtly what the 2 games in 18 means (roughly a coin flip). Different strokes, I guess.
  11. Darius
    I'm thinking they should probably trade him for starting pitching. If nobody will take him at this point, drop him off the 40-man.
  12. Darius
    Colon's not going anywhere. He's pitched relatively well, and by all accounts he's been invaluable in terms of setting an example for others and working with the young guys. As little confidence as I have in him to take over a game, yanking him from the rotation, effectively ending his career, after all he's provided this team, could turn some things sour. Besides, I don't think any of the other options really provide more. Colon is a known commodity in terms of how he reacts to adversity. If it comes down to one game and it's Colon's spot in the rotation, I'd prefer Colon over Slegers, Gee, etc. If a couple of runs get pushed across early, I have more faith in Colon to stabilize things, and keep the team in the game.
  13. Darius
    This team just can't capitalize on the opportunities that keep getting dropped into their lap.
  14. Darius
    Add Busenitz to that list above
  15. Darius
    Can't blame Molitor for the bullpen. It's absolutely terrible, save Belisle (lately), Rogers (maybe), and Hildenberger. As much as it seems like he has, he can't use those two guys every night. Can't defend some of this guy's decisions to bunt Polanco. It's getting a little ridiculous.
  16. Darius
    That was a horribly managed game.
  17. Darius
    Mejia coming back could be invaluable, if he performs reasonably decent. A lefty will come in handy at some point. Gibson, though, is maybe throwing the ball the best out of anyone right now. Of course Santana and Berrios have been fairly rock solid all year. Colon has really settled in and is huge in terms of leadership. It would be interesting to see, if necessary, how they shake out a 3-man in a divisional series. As for the wildcard game, I'd prefer Berrios against the Yankees. He misses the most bats, and that could play well against guys like Judge, Sanchez, Frazier, etc, who hit the ball over the fence a lot on that glorified slow-pitch softball field. Keeping the ball out of play as much as possible would be ideal. If we played anyone else, or the Yanks at TF, I think I'd roll with Santana. Something to remember in a one game series: you can bring anyone in out of the 'pen. You could start Santana/Berrios, and give the starter a quick hook if they're not looking right and bring in the other.
  18. Darius
    Hildenberger is a freaking stud. He's the only guy in the bullpen who has consistently gotten outs this year. He's the only guy who jogs out if the pen that I trust isn't going implode and give away a game. 6 outs while facing 5 batters in a game that big is pretty impressive. Rosario got off the schneid (if you can call it that when he has 10 HR and 28 RBI in his last 30 games). Some fans wanted him DFA'd the day before. He only went in to drive in 4 runs in what was possibly the biggest game of the year. The cherry was picking up a game on NY and LA. Can you imagine this lineup with a hot Sano batting 4? Hopefully we get him back next week.
  19. Darius
    After tonight, if the Mariners beat the Angels (maybe even if not) it'll more likely than not that they make the playoffs (odds over 50% per BR).
  20. Darius
    Tom Haneman looks like he should be managing a gothic, supposedly undead, professional wrestler.
  21. Darius
    The Rangers have opened up a 4 run lead over the Yanks in the 7th. Could be a really good night if our bullpen can put this away.
  22. Darius
    That is such a big hit by Grossman.
  23. Darius
    I think it was the thread the other day calling to get rid of him for a GIDP.
  24. Darius
    DFA Rosario
  25. Darius
    Per Aaron Gleeman, since trading Garcia Gibson has a 3.10 ERA. Colon is at 3.20.
