Nunez lost his helmet.  Drink!

Wow, Sano is so athletic!

 

DiscGolfer drinks!

 

(I think I've found my random theme for this season. Sorry, Circus Boy, your updates were last year.)

    Thanks a lot, Tyler Duffey. All you had to do was be not terrible this spring, and we wouldn't be forced to watch Ricky Nolasco throw up a mid 5 ERA the first month of the season.

    Nolasco's trade value may never be higher!  Get on the phones TR!

If I have to drink as much as I did when the Rally Room was still open in the Dome I may not remember the end of too many games.

Nice throw, runner out if Santana holds on

Welp, despite the defense's best efforts I think Ricky/Team Cuba sealed the deal. 6 shutout with 2 walks and 7 punchouts against the Tampa scrubs..

Double from Joe Cool with his shades on

At least he dominated the AAA club, could be worse.....

wow.  6 innings and no runs

 

Yep

 

Too many Tiger Fans.... and depressed Lions Fans. My god are they Jaded. 

 

They start complaining about the Lions on Friday. They could be up by two touchdowns and they wait for the roof to collapse. 

 

I'm back amongst the positivism of North Dakota/Minnesota. 

 

The world never really seemed quite right with you living in Michigan.

 

I have heard the state is planning this in honor of your return.  I think by then the Twins will have clinched the central, so there will be extra celebrations.

To be fair the roof usually does collapse on them. It's uncanny. Source: I've watched quite a few Lions games with some Michigan friends.

Another throwing error by Nunez, time to drink... ohh boy.

Not Shocked... About North Dakota celebrating my return.

 

But I am shocked that Fargo is hosting. 

Is Perkins our closer?

 

If so, how long is the over/under on that lasting?

I can't wait for the board to explode when my favorite chucker is named as the 5th starter. That's right Ricky Nolasco.

so Perk blows Rickie's gem.... damn

I'm wondering if they'll go to a committee with Jepson if Perk struggles at all.

Well, Ricky was throwing against mostly minor league guys as the big boys were in Cuba, but my guess is that he makes the club as a starter along with Milone.  They can send Duffy down to work out some kinks and not risk losing him.  Tonkin to the bp as he is out of options.  No point risking him.  And Presley makes it in the bp as well.  There's my Carnac the Great moment.

I hope he throws to minor league guys all season.

Cut Tonkin and put Pressly in the pen. If I had to make a bold prediction it would be Duffy ends up in the pen eventually.

I think Duffy gets sent down and remains a starter.  You know someone will have arm issues by May, so I think they keep Duffy and Berrios waiting in the wings as starters.

If Nolasco actually ends up being good this year as his advanced metrics predicted last year (3.51 FIP), I will stop watching games and just follow fangraphs, because then the eye test truly means nothing.  

Speaking of eye test, I was extremely skeptical of Duffey continuing to be able to pain corners with a mixture of breaking balls.  Feel for yackers usually comes and goes, which is why so few pitchers rely upon it like Duffey did last year.  He'll get the feel back, but control of 2 curves plus a change like he had last summer isn't a particularly sustainable model...

Maestro making his case to make the team.

If he pitches well during the season, the bandwagon will be full!

I think Duffys two pitch mix plays better in the pen. People are assuming a lot from 10 starts last year.
