    Nice analysis, but I don't think you're giving Hildy the credit he deserves ... I think it's actually 7 for 7 on inherited runners. Minor quibble, but let's give him credit for all of it. Haha (that's actually a sad laugh).

    Living legend? I think that's pushing it just a smidge. http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/fa/fa7d713d9a2a2fb1624cc4ee86cad0231dcf07c6288c5f18e8dfa4e0a72466a6.jpg

    Man, had I just skimmed the box score after work today I would've thought Hildy did alright today. Only 1 run, in line for the win. Just glad I'm not home watching this.
  4. jud6312
    True, but if he's good enough to get a look with a team coming off of 104 wins with no shortage of arms, he could've at least warranted use of his last option year with this squad. It could very easily have turned out to be more of the same, but could it really be a whole lot worse than what Hildy's providing or eating up 40-man and 25-man spots on a guy that that has to be completely hidden from existence? Here's hoping it works out for all parties and not just one or the other.

    I wish we could get him to chase one of those first-pitch, belt-high fastballs from time to time.
  6. jud6312
    JT who now? Didn't need him.
  7. jud6312
    At that point is it even worth it? A+ did work on Phil, can't imagine it'll be better in the the bigs.
  8. jud6312
    Is that 7 for 7 on inherited runners scoring off of Hildy this year? Wowza.
  9. jud6312
    I'm really hoping this is just him turning the corner. A lot of people were ready to give up on him because we've heard about him for so long, but the guy is still only 23.
  10. jud6312
    That he's being reprimanded or that those two aren't sharing an OF?
  11. jud6312
    LaMarre in LF for Eddie. Robert at DH for Weapon X. Adrianza at SS for Eddie the Stick. Garver at C for Castro.
  12. jud6312
    I like to think of Phil starting at any level to be more of a disaster.
  13. jud6312
    Twins clubhouse this morning while Molly was penciling LaMarre and Grossman into the starting lineup.
  14. jud6312
    Did Dick just make a frozen testicles joke? "Our own frozen four."
  15. jud6312
    I think we're all a little right to worry. Even before today. The end for most older pitchers doesn't come gradually.
  16. jud6312
    Some of us had a hunch and started early just in case.
  17. jud6312
    Nothing to worry about. The guys on the thread the other day told me I was overreacting. All pitchers hit their stride at 41.
  18. jud6312
    Yeah, you're right. I've probably got nothing to worry about with Rodney. Definitely doesn't have issues with the long ball.
  19. jud6312
    How is that even possible?
  20. jud6312
    If you guys are good with the ticking time bomb, more power to you. With the number of people he walks and his age, it's not a matter of if, but when they catch up. He could've saved 100% of the games he saved in 2016 and he was still awful.
  21. jud6312
    An 80% save rate would not be even close to ideal. That's essentially 1984 Ron Davis. I realize the game has changed and your better relievers pitch where they're needed, but can a team just on the cusp of contention really afford any games given up by an aging, strike zone-challenged closer with deteriorating stuff? Obviously there's no sure-things, but I'd like something a little bit more stable. At 41, I think we're more likely to see the 2016 version of Rodney, rather than the 2017 version, which was also not all that good.
  22. jud6312
    I'm more than a little concerned that the human gas can is closing games to start the season. My hunch is that Reed will take over that role in short order - unless they plan to use him as the true fireman. I'm also still scratching my head on the Kinley thing. In hindsight, I think they'd probably be better off with some combination of Chargois/Busenitz/Bard/etc. over Rodney and Kinley, but I give the Wonder Twins credit for making the pen a priority.
  23. jud6312
    I think you're forgetting once again that LaMarre changed his swing. You combine that with his "pop" and you've got something
  24. jud6312
    I'm not at all worried. LaMarre has changed his swing, so he'll probably hit about .435 and carry the team on his mighty shoulders.
  25. jud6312
    I'm not high on Granite in any way, shape, or form, but what in the history, pedigree, or track record of either player leads you to believe that LaMarre has a higher ceiling than Granite? They're pretty similar, except one is younger and has been more successful.
