    So true that team limped into the playoffs hence the streak

    Just your run of the mill mindcrime legalese I presume

    This site has revealed things about myself such as yes, I'm still a bit of a hot head. I suppose getting angry means I care about this site. It might be nostalgia but I remember a much better vibe and lots of good traffic on the game threads. There has always been negativity present and balance is good. The problem is the crushingly boring and repetitive negativity has drowned out other voices and tamped down traffic. I'll take the goofy mindless cheering of the game threads during the surprising and super fun Bomba Squad run any day!

    I put one poster on ignore, but just checked the box for their posts so I see when others quote them. There are additional boxes to check such as mentions which, I think, would do what you're looking for. Why can't you add everyone, there would be nothing to read? ? I suppose one of both of you may not see this ?

    Ooo la la nice spreadsheets! He did throw out a runner this week albeit with help from a great tag. My gripe is he doesn't seem to be improving the bat. He is serviceable. I'll bet that with robo umps he will lose his framing advantage, but gain in the run game. A big dude like that not having to get up of the ground will help.

    Dazzling statistics!

    I agree with this. I finally got covid a month or so ago, damn kids!, and I had one day of a mild fever then a cold for a couple of days. Not bad. I will say I noticed that while I felt fine overall after that, my legs felt weak. Ryan was out for weeks so he is probably weaker than normal. It does appear that, at least at this stage, easy velocity and a smooth delivery work for him but are fleeting for him . Probably not making sense, but this has been my worry with him. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts.

    If this were true it means Rocco doesn't want more talent on the roster to make his job easier. There is no way that is the case.
  14. wabene
    I wonder if Thad and Derek know what this Rocco character is up to. Somebody should fill them in, Rocco may have gone rogue!

    You also have twice said they were going to lose in the 6th inning of games they actually won. What if they win the division? Just go silent?

    Duran pitched 16 innings last year, 16. Personally, again knock on wood, I'm surprised and thrilled with what we've got so far.

    Dang that sucked

    Looks like a beautiful day to take down the Dirty Sox and Crabby Lance Lynn! PTC AK Gotta work so I'll try the Sox audio feed.

    That is a good question and one I ponder as well. I believe if they are going to protect the starters to such an extent, then they need more multi inning appearances from the pen. Of course then that complicates pen usage. I was a little surprised they pulled Bundy, but it's Bundy. If it had been Gray, Ryan or Winder they would've run with it. You gotta have the horses.

    The same place you typed your comment, a computer. If you want to be an old time baseball purist, wouldn't you get your baseball news from the print edition of the Strib on your doorstep? For me the eye test is where I start. The only reason I look up stats to back up my opinions is because we are on a geeky baseball board and I'm just trying to keep up with the Joneses. I didn't know about Baseball Reference until I came here. I'll give Bundy credit. He is a bulldog. I had written him off earlier. However when the top of that lineup is coming up for the 3rd time you had better have a guy warming in the pen if you're going to run him out there again. That might not have been good enough in a one run game.

    Bundy's OPS against 3rd time through the order is 875. Arraez is at 876, Buxton 875 and Correa 824. Our best hitters right now. That's is pretty hefty. Griffin Jax has a 572 OPS for his first 25 pitches. It took him about 10 pitches for the 7th and 26 for both innings combined. Nice odds there. Plus we won!

    Not sure a demotion is a good way to start a new relationship, plus they were probably ready for AA by then.
  23. wabene
    The Sox sure didn't force Pagán to throw strikes. The same could be said of the Twins when facing Hendricks.
  24. wabene
    Baldelli has this hapless bunch up 3.5 on the Spiders and 5.5 on the Dirty Sox. Nice work.
  25. wabene
    Somehow Rocco bungled his way into having Duran for the 10th.
