  1. Glad to hear, I was afraid your next post would feature Grandpa Simpson
  2. Well, flying over at 35,000 feet, Fryer and Dozier do sort of look alike.
  3. I don't know.......... Where does she stand on the sacrifice bunt??
  4. You've noticed, too? Mark my words, Gardy will be managing either the Tigers or Whities in 2016.* * or sooner
  5. I would have preferred Pelfrey to the pen but process of elimination didn't leave many options. Like jorgenswest said, they probably counted it out and May made the most sense to them.
  6. Right on. It's too bad we don't have 8 runs for him to go the distance tonight.
  7. I can't believe it's Fein and Thompson warming up and not Perkins.
  8. no Josh Donaldson is the 3B now, and Miggy is the 1B EDIT: voting still open thru tonite
  9. Rosario has a great batting eye and presence-- until the count runs 3-2
  10. Gibson gets out of a jam that was not quite of his own making (2 weak hits and a walk) and strikes out Perez on the 1 ball, 4 strike pitch! (Sorry but I think Cederstrom should have given Gibson a couple of those pitches
  11. Strike zone tonight so far has been the size of a pinhole. I'm not sure you can fit a baseball through it. EDIT: though Gibson's half of the 3rd went well for us. And that's your GCU: your Gary Cederstrom Update. Somehow I don't think that will catch on
  12. I don't view it as controversial, but more of just punting on a decision. Two weeks isn't a big deal. Either May or Pelfrey should go to the pen though. The pen needs their help. The Twins are more than welcome to become innovators but I dont think the rest of the league will be following them anytime soon. Over a season it will cost a starting pitcher a half dozen starts. Unless what drjim said above and a team can use a guy in relief on his throw day.
  13. I think I also read than Vargas is actually going to Rochester not Chattanooga, so not sure if the Chattanooga rumor was an administrative hitch that the media spotted and blew out of proportion, or if it was a brief but intentional signal to Vargas by the front office, or what. I am not opposed to Vargas playing the rest of the year in the minors. But from my point of view, Danny Santana was getting those Vargas at bats and Santana belongs in the minor leagues much more than Vargas does.
  14. Way too soon to call Vargas unsalvageable. Ortiz was about 25 or 26 when he really started to look like a professional hitter, and then another year or two before he became dominant. I don't want to see Vargas turn into another Ortiz in another organization. Same with Arcia. Vargas has better numbers than Danny Santana this year, even with less opportunity, so I've got to think there is more to this shocking (to me) demotion than just performance.
  15. Kids, don't try this at home: http://mlb.mlb.com/images/6/9/4/126039694/052215_laa_trout_steal_med_70c05br4.gif http://m.mlb.com/cutfour/2015/05/22/126045872/watch-trout-pull-off-one-of-the-best-slides-this-year
  16. I owe you a favor for having you go through with that AND for preempting you. And I can see by the time stamps that it took you LESS time than it took me
  17. Actually, on second thought, this doesn't look that fun, sorry........ ERA = ER / IP * 9 A pitcher would need to surrender 1,108 earned runs over 45 innings to have an ERA of 221.6 Yes I'm embarrassed I bothered to calculate that........
