Thread: Berardino: JO Berrios has some swagger

I'm not sure what the fuss over Ryan's ski comment was. He told it to a reporter. I'm sure he speaks to Beradino differently than he speaks to Reusse. And I'm sure he speaks to his players and managers differently too. Just know your audience when speaking. No big deal.

Usually I hate it when ignored posters are quoted - it defeats the purpose of the ignore feature - but this one made me laugh (at the poster - not with him)

Wow! Do just hate Gardy or everything in life! You have a negative attitude in every thread I've read. I don't understand why you follow them?

It's Chief. After awhile, screaming at kids to get off his lawn becomes old hat and he has to find other interests to pursue.

Right, Chief?

Wrong.

I think danny Valencia had some swagger too. Look how that worked out for him. And John I agree that is a great anology

God, I hope you're being sarcastic.

These guys aren't starring in Oscar Wilde productions. They're playing baseball. I'm sure that at some point, they pick up on the "buzzwords" of American baseball.

You, of all folks, what with your BYTO background, should know this was satire. It simply struck me as quite odd that Ryan would use a snow skiing analogy for a kid that most likely has never seen snow. And oh yeah, remember my moniker...?

I probably should ask Andy Leer. As they say in football....Come on, man.

See there you go again, Sano and Berrios only know what they say in futbol, and "come on, man" won't necessarily translate the way you intended. Ryan got caught speaking Snowbirdese about, and inevitably, to, a kid who's never even seen snow and has not a clue about how his swagger isn't getting too far out over his ski tips yet.

So good to hear your day was made a little brighter at my expense...

I guess I also missed the day that "out over his skis" became a baseball buzzword...

Wow. We have some really negative people on this site. Afraid to make mistakes. Afraid of embarrassment as a result of baseball predicitions?????? Anyway...I am not afraid to make mistakes, in baseball predictions or any part of my life. It feels "awesome," and I wish everyone could experience the same feeling. Go ahead "SABR's" or whatever you want to be called...and drop some extensive research on us so that we do not expect too much out of any given baseball prospect. God forbid we should ever be wrong about a baseball prospect and have minor league egg all over our face.

I don't think those people who are careful about their evaluations of prospects have some character flaw that indicates they're afraid of being wrong. I see people respecting your optimistic views of Twins minor leaguers. I think it's fair to expect that you to respect others less optimistic evaluations without calling into question their personal happiness.

Let's enjoy the fact this kid gets people out, and looks like he'll fit into the starting rotation some day, hopefully soon. Let's not try to read tooooooo much into quotes from beat writers from sources. The kid is confident, competent and shows no signs of arrogance. That's enough for now.

You're quite the pop psychologist, don't quit your day job.

I apologize. I should have said "Vamos, hombre!"

I like swagger, great album. Now, I don't think the band is from Puerto Rico, but still, great album.
