    Yeah, pretty much all of this. Watchmen was a decent movie IMO but massively flawed just like all of Snyder's films. Lots of good parts, lots of bad parts.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I think this problem extends well beyond the borders of Minnesota.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Over, because somebody in this division has to break out a bit. But really, this is a "non bet" team for me. 86.5 is a good over/under for them, IMO.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Under. I do not like this team.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Under because they lack any kind of depth. They have some really nice pieces at the top but very little underneath. I think the Sox will end up as the worst team in the division.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    I'll take the under but not by a lot. I'll be happy with a .700 OPS and solid progression as he gains experience.

    At some point, the camel's back is going to break and these contracts are going to be streamlined. Right now, it's a bloody mess of exceptions, blackouts, and in-fighting... Which opens the door to allowing other, less onerous, setups to thrive (less popular sports, non-sports programming, etc). The four major sports are entering dangerous territory. If they don't start straightening up (and fast!), they're going to continue bleeding the teenage and twenty-something markets. And if you lose the under 30 market, it's hard to ever get those people to come back to you as they age into adulthood. If sports continue to refuse to get on board with 21st century tech, they could lose a significant portion of an entire generation of Americans. I used to watch three sports all the time (football, baseball, basketball) and a spattering of hockey (California isn't exactly hockey-crazy). Then I cut the cord. I now watch one sport, MLB, and pay $120/yr to do so. The other three sports have almost entirely dropped off my radar because I can't be bothered to jump through their ****ing hoops anymore. I'd like to watch more sports but I'm not going to bust my ass to figure out a way to make it happen and have found other things to do with my time.

    Gleeman has an excellent take on this nonsense in this week's podcast. It starts around the 37-38 minute mark. http://twinsdaily.com/_/minnesota-twins-news/gleeman-the-geek-ep-241-al-central-overunder-r4552

    I wish more fans held themselves to the same standard they demand of people who hit/throw/kick a ball around a field.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    I genuinely hope this is the case. Duffey could really use another pitch and hopefully he can work on it in Rochester.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Why do we care about the backup center fielder? We all remember the Twins' left fielder is also a natural center fielder, right? Santana can spot start in the field and if something happens to Buxton, Eddie can slide 100 feet to his left.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Unfortunately, yes... But I'm loathe to discard a useful piece, especially a pitcher, and receive nothing in return. I suspect that when all is said and done with the 2016 season, all the guys we want to see in the rotation will get several turns through it. The baseball season is tough on starters.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    That's definitely a possibility but Milone has been consistent enough for long enough that he's probably destined to have a nice little career at the back of a rotation. He throws with the correct hand to get away with being a "moxy" pitcher and not a "stuff" pitcher.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    The next round is going to be far more interesting, as the passcodes on new phones are stored on the A-series chip's Secure Enclave. Though if the FBI ended up using NAND mirroring to access the phone, they *may* be able to trick the Secure Enclave using a similar process. I'm using a four digit passcode on my phone but should probably switch it to six digits. I rarely use the passcode anyway (thanks, Touch ID!) and increasing the code by two digits increases the passcode possibilities from 10,000 to 1,000,000.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Cleveland lacks the high-end guys the Twins have but man, they're stacked in the #25-60 range on that list. Five guys mixed in with three of them coming in 25-30.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    True.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't know if he has really stepped up but he has certainly missed far more bats than Duffey. Of course, take SSS Spring Training stats with a grain of salt.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I can agree with this take. I'd like to see Santana permanently slot into a super utility role unless his bat goes nuts. If someone goes down for a prolonged period of time, I'd like to see Jorge get a shot at starting duties.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    No, he's just been kinda bad in a very SSS. I would probably hold him out of the rotation given my limited knowledge of the situation but it's far from a cut and dry. Nolasco stepped up, Duffey didn't. Whether we should put much stock in Spring Training performance is an argument as old as Spring Training itself.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm taking the way under on Eddie. I think he's going to stumble badly as he discovers that an MLB hitter can't swing at 60% of pitches outside the zone. Maybe he gets demoted, maybe he adjusts, recovers, and has a solid second half. OPS of .700 and that's only if he plays an entire season. I could easily see him hit .650 and get demoted in June.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    I believe Duffey had the advantage going into ST, though it can certainly be debated how much of an advantage. But he's been various shades of terrible this March. We can question how much stock the Twins should put into spring performances but Tyler has looked pretty bad all month. He's not missing bats, he's walking a few too many guys, and he hasn't been fooling anyone.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Are we really complaining about a 22 year old player that OPSed over .900 in his rookie season and looks like this? http://a.fssta.com/content/dam/fsdigital/RSN/North/2015/08/12/NO6-PI-MLB-Minnesota-Twins-Miguel-Sano-HR-081215.vresize.1200.675.high.98.jpgJesus Christo, people.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I watched the first episode last night. It's interesting enough, though it's hard to say where it's going based on one episode.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I like Quentin as insurance depth but I completely understand why he opted for FA. Here's to hoping he picks up with an NL team and has a nice season.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Sorry, that was me. Only took two guesses at his password before I successfully landed with "getoffmylawn".
