    I would hate to see the human element of umpiring removed from baseball, even if that means my favorite team occasionally gets the shaft. Try your best to hold umpires accountable but don't remove them from the game entirely. Part of the reason I enjoy baseball is its old world charm. Don't sanitize it to the point where machines are involved. Sometimes we love things because of their imperfections, not in spite of them.

    Yes. When talking about the rebuild, people tend to forget 2014 was a pretty awful year for Twins prospects. Buxton, basically out for the season. Sano, completely out for the season. Meyer, late season injury followed by a 2015 implosion. Rosario, development stunted due to his love of ganja. Hicks, so completely lost he gave up switch-hitting. 2015 has been a much better year for the entire organization.

    MLB.com has the transaction listed at 1:40am on 8/7. I figure that means it actually occurred on 8/6 because we all know JR already had his milk and cookies and is snuggled into bed by 1:40am (mostly joking). http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/fantasy/news/#player_id=608648

    I think Ryan kind of owes it to the fans to give Berrios a shot. He's their best option to salvage the rotation right now. Bring him up. The kid just dominates wherever you put him. I'm not concerned about Jose's options. Like Sano and Buxton, he's approaching the kind of elite prospect status where options aren't a big concern. If he stays in Rochester, he's a top 15, maybe top 10 prospect on some lists this offseason.

    Man, the Twins needed and deserved that win. That eighth inning was straight up bad luck. Dozier four feet foul, then robbed of a hit, then Sano missing a homer by inches.

    Yes, this. If Byron's "demotion" goes well beyond the expected rehab time (ie. 9/1), then it's time to get pissed off. Now is not that time. Why do we care if he was demoted? If he successfully rehabs and is back in Minnesota on August 28th, what's the big deal? The end result is the same.

    But as John said, they went into the break on a high note. From June 1 to July 12, they essentially played .500 ball. That's six weeks of .500 baseball after their ridiculous month of May. They fell to pieces after the break and lost their entire +10 record in that three week span.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't understand why Aaron is hammering away at the "worst AL team in the past 2 1/2 months" point when their -10 record came almost entirely in the past two weeks. It's a bad argument that intentionally obscures what has happened to this team since the All-Star Break. On June 1st, they were 30-19. On July 17th (ASB), they were 50-40. Today, they are 55-56. It's not hard to see where everything went to pieces and it wasn't June 1st.

    Went to last night's game and saw CHS for the first time. Lovely field, very good Saints team, ugly uniforms. Really, they're bad. What a great place to watch a ballgame, though!

    That's not Tapia's floor. His floor is "never reaching the majors". While I don't disagree with the sentiment the Rays won the deal, that's a pretty ridiculous statement that'd I'd expect from a message board, not a BA analyst.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Agreed. I don't expect the guy to come to Minnesota and OPS at a .900 clip, I only expect him to help the team raise its (pathetic) .687 OPS against RHP. And considering how Shane Robinson is the guy blocking Arcia with Buxton on the way in the next few weeks, there's no reason not to pull the trigger on this move. There is literally nothing to lose unless both Hicks and Rosario suffer an injury at the same time (in the next two weeks before Byron is finished rehabbing). I'd say the odds of that happening are... low.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Edited for clarity.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Sigh.

    The Ramos deal was "tear your hair out, WTF are you thinking" across the board. Ramos was a former top 100 prospect. He was injured and his value had bottomed out. The Twins had no catching prospects behind him higher than low A ball. That trade still pisses me off. The thinking behind it was so fundamentally flawed I still can't believe Smith pulled the trigger on it.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Sure. I'm not claiming Hu had no value but this board erupted into mayhem after the trade, way beyond what was warranted. Yes, it was an overpay. No, it was not a disaster (assuming Jepsen doesn't implode). Hu never cracked a top 100 list. It was incredibly unlikely he would ever crack a top 100 list. It's also possible, maybe even likely, this is Hu's high water mark in value. It was a bad trade (mostly because two pitchers were included, IMO) but it's a long way from Ramos/Capps in terms of "holy ****, what are you thinking?" The way people are acting, you'd think Hu has the upside of Berrios, Gonsalves, or Thorpe. He doesn't. He doesn't even have the upside of a strikeout-diminished Stewart, IMO.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I believe he's supposed to start his rehab today or tomorrow.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Shocking.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    It appeared Nunez' helmet made it to first before he did. Unbelievable.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    That inning was a good example why young teams struggle to win down the stretch. Rosario has an absolutely awful at-bat, Hicks gives it the ol' college try but gets screwed by the ump.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Kurt will not go quietly into the night.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah. Terrible call.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    A completely unhittable pitch. Can't fault Aaron for that one.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Rosario's free-swinging nature gets the best of him there.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I know. LOL.
