    I haven’t watched a Twins game sober in almost a decade.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    T-Ball is boring because at some point, a kid will get tired and sit down in the outfield. These guys were TRYING. To a delightfully hilarious level.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Also endlessly entertaining.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Ooh, that’s good.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    I’m so glad I queued up the Benny Hill theme 15 minutes ago.

    What Garver did wrong there was a failure to tackle the pitcher.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    So, if Garver hits a ball safely to the outfield, the correct move is to tackle the pitcher, right? Assuming we’re playing by Calvinball rules here.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    I’m pulling for a situation so weird that an outfielder tags a runner at home plate.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    This.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Amd then that absurdity happened.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Yikes. Mauer is having an ugly game.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Fair enough. I saw it twice and it looked like it was quite noticeably above Mauer’s belt.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Or how a bunch are just plain wrong if you're watching the game and glance at GameDay a few moments later. Not like a little bit wrong, but "WTF" wrong.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    We all realize that GameDay is a human clicking a mouse to spot a location, right? It is not linked to any real pitch-tracking data AFAIK.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    That wasn't too close to take. It was at the top of the catcher's helmet, maybe even above it.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Joe should be pissed about that call.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    1. I said it doesn't matter much to me. I'm more interested in seeing the players succeed than getting a little more draft money and a higher slot. 2. A slot swing of 10 isn't even on the table this season so it's a moot point.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I said that... but it's not really what I said. I said anything in the 10-20 range is pretty much the same to me. The likely difference we're talking about here - and I mentioned it a few times in earlier posts - is maybe +/- 3 draft slots. In other words, not much.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, in a world where we declare 15 year olds "irredeemable" with a life sentence, taking the state's word for it seems a touch misguided.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    They definitely need some refinement and I think their job has only become harder with the popularity of the shift in recent years.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    This is what many of us feared would happen, I think, and why we wanted to sell. The Twins were hanging on, chasing a Cleveland team that just needed to fix its bullpen and get its head straight. They fixed the bullpen and the writing was on the wall.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Not really. On the current 25-man roster, approximately 20 of those guys have a potential future with the 2019 Twins. Only ~3 players on the roster are 30 years old or older (would have to confirm exact number but I'm pretty sure it's under 5). The performance of young players will likely dictate the number of wins through the remainder of the season.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    It's not only about young vets playing well, it's about guys like Moya, Gonsalves, Stewart, et al crashing and burning in their first lengthy MLB stints. And we're still 10 games from September and expanded rosters. Most teams are playing straight-up right now, not padding their lineups with AAAA players. I'll take strong performances from them over watching the Twins pick three slots higher next June.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Is that worth the trade-off of having your young players stumble against MLB opposition?
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Is it, though? Honest question. You're not getting in on the top 4-5 guys (and often, only the top 2-3 guys are truly interesting before the picture gets muddy) but you're not far enough back to pick at the bottom of the round where it becomes entirely muddy. Anything from 10 to 20 is basically the same to me. At that point it comes down to scouting and draft strategy (eg. you overpay a guy to get him away from college or you underpay and do similar things in later rounds).
