    John made a good point about innings. It's incredibly unlikely the Twins will want him pitching in September.

    I'm a little embarrassed for you right now, nick.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, something happened and it was entirely reasonable. Now do that three or four more times.

    And there was much rejoicing.

    Pretty solid speech by Clinton. It started a little slow but built up over time and she covered her bases rather well, focusing on jobs and security for a good section. She also got some great jabs in at Trump, particularly on defaulting on debt and riling him up with a Tweet.

    Don't know much about Meija but his stats look pretty legit.

    I think that's why it needs to happen in a debate. The media's ability to spin is limited when a large cross-section of America saw it live.

    I continue to hope the Twins come to the enlightened idea that maybe, just maybe, it's a good idea to flip-flop the roles of Tyler Duffey and Trevor May.

    If Trump can pull his head out of his ass consistently for three months, we have a real problem. He might keep those reluctant voters. Thankfully, he appears completely incapable of doing that, as evidenced by his Russian email comment yesterday. If he straightens up in time for the debates, DANGER WILL ROBINSON. But if he keeps heading down his current path, Clinton should eat him alive on the debate stage. And it's likely an embarrassed Trump becomes an even more ill-tempered, uncontrollable Trump. It wouldn't surprise me if Clinton is exhaustively training for the debates and developing a few comments/retorts solely intended to get Trump to melt down in front of the nation.

    One thing that fascinates me about this election cycle is how well the GOP has sold people on the idea the government is broken and the GOP is the one to fix it. The GOP has a majority of the following offices: - Governors (overwhelming majority) - State Legislatures (overwhelming majority) - House of Representatives (large majority) - Senate (slight majority) They don't have the majority in one office: the presidency. Yet they're going... to fix everything? My brain hurts.

    Pretty much the bolded. The country becomes more fragmented and broken by the day. Both parties have contributed to this problem, though one is a bigger offender than the other.

    Three years ago, I spent roughly 30 seconds deciding whether to invest in Facebook or Twitter. Facebook won the argument handily, I only wish I had been more confident. I think my reluctance over Twitter carried into my Facebook investment, which never should have happened for obvious reasons.

    Now I'm moving on to Billy-Boy's speech. The contrast of tone between the DNC and RNC is startling. Yes, the DNC is going to be more upbeat because they control the White House but the outpouring of positivity about the nation, its people, and its role in the world is pretty damned uplifting (even if I don't buy a big portion of it). Which makes the current polls all the more depressing. If America buys into the fear-mongering - which almost inevitably leads to violence of some kind, either domestic or foreign - and elects the Cheeto into office in November, I don't know what I will do. I've wanted to move to a Commonwealth nation for a long time... I doubt I'd do it but I'd think long and hard about finally making the jump out of the country.

    Distracting the conversation, the GOP's signature move over the past five years. By taking a roundabout path to the slavery thing and (falsely) attacking a trivial point, he undermined the First Lady's actual point, which was the progress of black America. The slavery bit was an aside, a reference point for progress. And O'Reilly's gambit largely worked. We're not talking about Obama's speech anymore in the context of what she said and how well she said it, we're now talking about Bill O'Reilly. The lines haven't moved. The people who hate O'Reilly still hate him. The people who like O'Reilly still think he had a salient point (which he obviously didn't). The loser? Michelle Obama and the nation. She delivered a *fantastic* speech that should have stolen headlines.

    I haven't watched Obama's speech yet - I plan to do that this morning - but Biden nailed it out of the park and I've never been that keen on Biden. He delved into "rah rah 'murika" territory but had an upbeat, positive tone while doing it. No one was left out of the rally cry. And his jabs at Trump were excellent. Great speech.

    Why did I only buy $2k worth of Facebook stock three years ago? I officially doubled my money after today's earnings report. Argh. Stupid Brock.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Okay, so Duffey is going to be replaced by Berrios in five days, right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Agreed. They're a flawed platform, the social media equivalent of Yahoo. They'll stick around, they have their niche, but their power will continue to wane over time.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    One would think so... And, as unbelievable as it sounds, the guy is probably going to get faster and stronger over the next 3-4 years. Dunno what his ceiling is but it's waaaaaaaay up there.

    Once again, thanks for the valuable input, Jack. As for Nolasco, there were questions behind the signing but no one expected him to perform to this level. He never displayed this array of injury and underperformance in his career and he simply isn't that old. The fact some of his peripherals remained steady make it even more baffling. I think Nolasco is a clear-cut case of "nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition". He's been horrible. Even the biggest detractors of the signing argued he'd be "below average", not "horrible".
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    I didn't have any issues with the Twins' handling of Berrios until they demoted him. I understood why they didn't call him up last season, though I can see both sides of the argument. I understood why they wanted to give the other guys a shot to open the season and give Berrios more time in Rochester. But once he was up, he deserved a real look. Four starts is not a real look.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Thanks for reminding me it exists. I saw the pilot on Now about a month ago but I had no interest in watching a single episode.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Sure, the only question to me is whether he's this bad or just kinda bad. I can deal with kinda bad for a year or two until he inevitably moves to first base or DH. Hell, he might even have an outside chance of being only a little bad if he works on it really hard. Either way, in a lost season there's really nothing to lose by throwing him out there and seeing what happens. When wins don't matter, it doesn't hurt to see what kind of upside a guy might have in him.

    I think it's different than Heroes in that Heroes was clueless from the start. It had no direction and given the environment, it was only possible to tell one story and they told that story in the first season. After that, it went to hell in a handbasket. Heroes had three universe-breaking characters: Sylar, Peter Petrelli, and Hiro. The mere existence of those characters told me the creators had no plan going forward (and later, they admitted as much). Once the initial story was told, the showrunners paused and said... "Well, ****. What do we do with a character who can jump time, a character who can absorb every power through proximity to another person, and a third character who absorbs power through killing characters?" Uh, the answer to that is "Nothing. You guys ****ed up and should have seen this coming." True Detective is a much closer parallel to Stranger Things. The amount of care and craftsmanship in the details of each show - not to mention the standalone nature of the stories - makes it difficult, if not impossible, to turn them into a once a year series. I don't understand why they're making a sequel. Blech, American television.
