    Yeah, Sano didn't do anything wrong there. Only an elite corner guy gets to that ball. It was a line drive off the wall, fer christsakes.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Dude, I didn't want Fien on this team and questioned Sano in RF but this post jumped the shark. We're less than FIVE INNINGS INTO THE BASEBALL SEASON. You sound a bit like the guy who was railing on Molitor after two innings. Jesus, reel it in, people. You'll have a damned cornonary by June if this is the attitude we're going to take on the season.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Yay. Casey Fien.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Dude, it's not his call. The ump would either eject him or tell him to get his ass back into the dugout.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Defensive Zone Rating of "+Eleventy LOLWTF" on that play.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    WHAT THE **** IS HAPPENING OUT THERE
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Santana can't grip the ball at all. Good job all around with this rain delay, fellas.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Overall, pretty good PA from Park. He took unhittable pitches, unfortunately the ump is calling that corner today. Not much you can do about that.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Park is a strong boy.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    LOL Rosario.

    Trumbo putting on a power display.

    The Cubs, dummy.

    Weather.com just scaled back their forecast from "expected rain" to "possible rain".

    Over and I don't have to think hard about it. I think it's likely the Twins miss the postseason but my over/under for them is 83-ish games. They have a lot of depth around the diamond and most of it should perform above replacement level should things go badly for the starters. 78.5 isn't a tough call to make.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    SS is probably the weakest position of depth but I think Polanco can roll out there and not embarrass himself or the team. It's not an optimal situation but it probably wouldn't kill the team.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    You just hit the nail on the head why I think these projections are underestimating the team. The Twins' depth isn't spectacular but it's solid up and down the board. And teams with depth tend to do well for themselves over 162 games. The Twins *should* be able to plug and play almost any position on the diamond with a better than replacement level player. Pick a guy around the diamond. If that guy falters or goes down, there's somebody with promise behind him who can provide quality at-bats, defense, or innings pitched. The one big question mark is the bullpen, IMO. The rest of team looks solid, though unspectacular. I'm sticking with my 83 win over/under for 2016.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Agreed on most every count. Rosario has a high ceiling bit I'm skeptical he'll ever get there. Players who swing at everything have an uphill battle to success in the majors.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    It's entirely possible. Rosario has the talent to do it but his approach needs to change. If he accomplishes that goal, his ceiling is probably an .800 OPS player with plus defense. In other words, a borderline elite player.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep, no worries. We can drop it. Ancient history anyway.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, he never had a truly bad season unless you're counting the 16 innings during his injury-plagued 2007 season.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    I think Nunez is an insurance policy. Like you, I hope the leash is relatively short and if the Twins are presented better options, they shouldn't think too hard about releasing him and eating the money.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, you're kinda proving my point for me. The human memory is selective and often irrational. In the case of Jesse Crain and his "straight fastball" that led to losses, he was 33-21 with Minnesota (I loathe using wins but you brought it up) and had an ERA+ of 128 during his time here. He wasn't a flashy pitcher (until his last couple of seasons with the Twins, anyway) but he got the job done year in and year out. His peripherals were pretty good. He didn't give up an inordinate number of hits, his HR/9 ratio was very good, he struck out a middling number of batters, and he didn't walk an inordinate number of batters. Stats like inherited runners contribute to more bias confirmation... It doesn't really tell you what happened. If a guy is routinely thrown out into a bad situation in the middle of an inning, his inherited runners percentage is going to reflect that... and it's not an indictment of the pitcher because almost any pitcher will give up runs in certain situations unless he's dealt a very lucky hand (eg. runner on third base, no outs with the heart of the lineup heading to the plate). Feel free to continue using the stat but you should also realize it doesn't really tell you anything unless the numbers are at either edge of the bell curve.

    AFAIK, that factory is *only* for battery production. I don't believe they actually build cars at that location, though I could be wrong. Also, I don't know if that $7.5b is based on expected average sale price or a flat $35k. Obviously, many of those Model 3 preorders will be considerably more expensive than $35k once various luxury packages are added to the purchases.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    The factory is insane. It's going to have one of the largest footprints of any building in the world. http://i1.wp.com/evobsession.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/How-Big-is-the-Tesla-Gigafactory.png?w=1512
