  1. I would pay half my salary for the rest of the year to the white sox if Ozzie replaced TLR. And thats coming from a guy who was OK with the TLR hire initially.
  2. I thought we'd wake up after Cleveland but apparently not. It's been an ugly fucking week.
  3. Eloy was lollygagging down the line and made the final out at 1st. If he hustled it would have been 1st and 2nd with 2 outs.
  4. During his appeal process can they say "hey you didn't suspend this guy for the same thing, I shouldn't be either" Or does precedent not matter in MLB?
  5. Lol I saw this coming after all the memes were going around on twitter after flipping the bird.
  6. I use Wunderground and it's showing 15% chance of rain the rest of tonight. https://www.wunderground.com/hourly/us/mn/minneapolis
  7. Looks like we are going to miss all the rain at this point. Hope thats right
  8. From Meteorologist Kevin Roth: CHW @ MIN - Spotty showers, especially early. They are light enough to play through if they want, or they could late start and play dry... either way I expect they will indeed play. Cold temps with healthy winds blowing in from center at 15-20mph are better news for pitchers than bats.
  9. He actually has a point. Apparent by the 50+ times Steve, Jason, Chuck, Ozzie, Frank, and Gordon have already referred to the Guardians as the Indians this year. They even have a jar they put $5 in every time there is a misnomer. They were called the Indians for 106 years up until 6 months ago. Excuse some of us for not immediately getting it right. It's not us trying to fight the change, just an inadvertent mistake.
  10. You're right. I actually feel like he managed the first game fine (after DK shit the bed) But the 2nd game lineup and management was awful. If you discount the AAA lineup you gotta have at least some pinch hitters/replacement players in the final 3 innings in a 1 run game/ yea? Maybe I'm just an idiot
  11. Game 1 was actually worse then the box score shows - if that is even possible. I think every single position player made at least 1 error or "dumb play" that wasn't scored an error. Let's go around the horn: 1B. Probably one of the more solid defense performances but as other posters noticed in the game thread he wasn't extending on plays at first and there were a couple very close ones. Also missed a short hop throw from Burger which he should have gotten IMO. 2B: Mendick actually didn't have any major blunders other than throwing a whiffle ball 2nd to 1st on what should of been a double play. Also went 1-6 on the day with 4 K's. SS: No comment needed here. Probably the worst game of TA's career. See video of him flipping off the Cleveland crowd cheering his errors. He did make a couple nice plays late in the game so I guess there's that... 3B: Burger with an error and 0-3 with 2K for good measure. LF: Vaughn bobbled and lost a ball on a single, no one advanced so wasn't ruled an error. CF: Robert airmailed a cutoff man. 0-4 and I believe he's 0 for his last 20 now? RF: Engel also airmailed a cutoff man which would have resulted in another run being scored. He did get a hit and our lone run so props to him. C; I think Grandal had one passed ball (not sure if it was scored that) but that's all I can recall. 0-4 on the day too. P: Keuchel... where to start... In his defense I will say after the atrocities committed by the defense I too would lose it. 7 straight hits at one point. 11 straight batters reached base. Failed to cover backup at home on a play. Blamed the defense OFC in the post game interview. Oh and to boot: The NBC team fucked up the scoreboard overlay for about half the game. TLR/whoever our replay guy wasted our review early. Bonus: Game 2 super joe sending our fastest runner Engel home with 0 outs, out by a mile. I'm sure I'm missing stuff but I'd rather not try to remember today...
