    Gausman is being BABIPed to death. I’ll take it.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    That was probably the most casual triple I’ve ever seen in my life.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    If I had the pitching profile of Devin Smeltzer, I’d also be scared to throw the Blue Jays strikes.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh wow, those “O Canada” uniforms are pretty awesome.

    Buxton doesn't have a big contract. He's making $9m this season. His very middling contract starts next season.

    Speaking of teams built like the Twins... I don't think there's a scarier dark horse postseason team than the Angels. All it requires is Ohtani and Trout to engage their video game cheat modes and they could go deep into the postseason.

    I mostly agree but baseball is more random than most sports, and by a lot. Just getting to the postseason counts for a lot more than the Wolves being a traditional eight seed or the NHL, where I believe no eight seed has won the Final other than the Kings in 2012. Yet in just the past decade or so, three Wild Card teams have won the World Series (going from recollection here, excuse any mistakes). Obviously, fewer teams making the postseason makes it easier for those who do make it to win the championship but more than any other sport, baseball’s randomness of just getting there brings you pretty close to a championship. Because, more than any other sport, there is no more popular flux between what is “required” to win year to year than baseball. And the reason for that is because there are a dozen ways to win and you just need a lot of luck in the margins to do so. But aside from all that, you don’t think a lineup with Buxton and Correa can make noise in the postseason? I’m not sure what could in your opinion if you believe that.

    This thread is locked but I just saw this. The answer is absolutely not. The differences between Stu and posting guidelines are entirely based on editorial rules versus community rules. Whether a person is a caretaker has nothing to do with it, as they are still under the umbrella of community guidelines, just like all other community members (including myself, even as a site owner). If anyone wishes for more clarification, I am always available via private message and am willing to discuss it with you.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    No worries. I don’t think the deal is clear cut in either direction. Paddack was a risk, one that didn’t go well for the Twins. And, as you said, Rogers is something of a risk himself.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    The original poster is being needlessly antagonistic here. There were, and are, legitimate reasons to question the Rogers deal, and I say that as someone who was lukewarm on the deal with a slight bent toward it being the right decision to make. It was a risky deal at the time, probably even moreso today. Rogers' past handful of innings don't move the needle much one way or the other.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I understand why it’s happening but it’s still frustrating as hell to see.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    The fact that Chi-Chi Gonzalez is starting a game for a first place team in June makes me want to burn down Target Field.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    There is no denigration of users happening here. There's a difference between "there are literally thousands of users on this site, most of which I do not know personally" and "there are two dozen writers on the site, all of which are known personally by the owners". I'm not saying users are untrustworthy, I'm saying I rarely know if a specific user is trustworthy because there are literally ten thousand of you. Whereas the couple of dozen *paid* writers for the site are very well known entities. The difference between those groups is obvious for obvious reasons. In no way, shape, or form am I saying anyone here is "bad" or "untrustworthy" but the scope of community management is wildly different than curated content creation by a select few.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    There's a lot of misunderstanding here. There are different parts of Twins Daily and not all of them fall strictly under the same umbrella. The front page news stories have guidelines and are managed by other owners. The forums (and, to an extent, blogs) are my domain as community manager and technical lead. The various parts of the site aren't perfectly synchronized because they're run by different people with slightly different agendas and different opinions. Would I personally have published Stu's story? Yes, because I believe Stu's reputation as a satirist deserves more leash; it's part of his schtick as a writer. Equally so, I have a community to run and cannot allow the same leeway to Random Joe off the street, whose reputation and motives have earned no such leeway.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    See, okay, now this is funny.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Seth and John do the majority of content management.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    If it was funny, probably. I’m vaxxed and pretty cautious about COVID and know plenty of people around me whose precautions are beyond ridiculous to the point of them almost satirizing themselves. Satire is almost always funny when you approach the fringes of any opinion or stance. That’s the point of it, really.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I was blissfully unaware of Stu’s piece until half an hour ago so you’ll have to talk to someone else about that. People seem to be under the impression that TD is some monolithic entity and that is far from the case. I am the community manager, most of the rest of the site is someone else’s problem.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Stu is paid to sometimes push boundaries through satire. It's basically his professional reputation. When we start paying someone with a similar reputation to do the same, they can be like Stu. Until then, they can keep their poor attempts at satire and boring agendas to themselves. I don't care how that comes across, that's the reality of the situation. Some people, due to reputation, experience, and ability are given different slack than the typical user.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Cool story, Stu is not a moderator or even a part of this community, really. He's paid to write for the site.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    For all of you complaining about why you can't write what Stu just wrote, it's because Stu is paid by the site to write whatever he thinks is funny. You're not, get over it. If you don't like Stu's content, feel free to... *gasp* NOT READ IT.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm not a collector of anything any more but I still have a signed Puckett ball and photo from my childhood.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm pretty lukewarm on Obi-Wan after two episodes but, as expected, McGregor is killing it in the role. He's so ****ing good as Kenobi.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Righty hitter probably made the decision for them.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I think that's absolutely true but I don't think Smeltzer falls into that category, particularly given how he has pitched.
