    I'd prefer Uncle Drew or Chad Powers.

    I'll let their record do the mocking. As for me, I'll refrain. What goes around comes around.

    I didn't say I thought that's how it should be; in fact I don't have an opinion one way or the other at this point. I merely asked if that's how it should be.

    With this season's schedule only intradivision opponents visit twice, meaning all makeup games will be difficult.

    Happiness. This is how I think every game should go. That's not too unreasonable, is it?

    Thanks, good advice. Can't stay on line now--gotta go to my neighbor's house to take a shower.

    There are two ways to evaluate trades. One, base judgement on information available and the team's needs at the time of the trade. Two, base judgement on the career path of each player involved from the time of the trade forward. Subsequent transactions involving those players create a trade tree which branches with subsequent transactions, so a complete evaluation of a trade can require literally decades in some cases.

    The trade in which Mahle was acquired is completely immaterial. The trade did not cause this injury nor was there a way to anticipate this injury. Nor does the trade have any bearing on what happens from this point forward. So I hope the trade can be left out of further discussion on this matter. Injuries are almost always mostly just bad luck, and I hope Mahle's recovery is complete and rapid. Regarding his future with the Twins, I'm sure it will be a difficult decision for Falvine. He has been a good enough pitcher to merit a spot in the rotation, but even if he had stayed healthy it was not certain we'd have had room for him next season depending on how much our starting pitching prospects progress this season. And depending on Sonny Gray. It's a gamble to keep Mahle and it's a gamble to let him go. I just hope our front office makes the best educated guess.

    And, even if he's fully recovered after a year, the following winter.

    Good news for game threaders: I have other plans tonight that will preclude me from watching or listening to the game. That means you won't have to listen to me gripe about Apple TV during the game. I'll get that out of the way with just this one post.

    MLB is the only one of the four major North American team sports organizations (I didn't consider soccer) that currently separates its annual player awards into separate leagues or divisions. Obviously the historical precedent for this is that there was no interleague play before 1997. But with the expansion of interleague play the distinction between the two leagues has faded. In the NHL 39% of games are against teams from the opposite conference. In the NBA that share is 37%, in the NFL it's 29%, and interleague games in MLB now make up 28% of a team's schedule. With this in mind is it time to consider consolidating awards such as MVP, Cy Young, batting champion, and so forth? Instead of giving one of each award for each league, give one of each award encompassing all of MLB.

    I almost never boo any player. Even a Yankee. I think almost every player tries hard to do the best he can. The only thing that I would consider booing is obvious intentional poor sportsmanship. Now, I realize that includes cheating like the Astros did but for me the statute of limitations on that has expired. I think Correa and most of the players and coaches involved in that now regret their actions, although I wish more of them would say so publicly.

    I'm not going to try to link to any stats but this situation reminds me of Ryan Pressly in 2018. He looked way worse on paper than how he was actually pitching and we know how things transpired from there. We may still get good careers out of Alcala and Celestino but they have quite a ways to go to catch up to what Pressly has been for the last 5 years.

    Very cool.
  15. Nine of twelve
    Don't give away any strikes.
  16. Nine of twelve
    OK boys. Now is the time. Now as in right now.
  17. Nine of twelve
    I know it's hard for batters to lay off the high cheese, but that was head high.
  18. Nine of twelve
    Bunt and bunt.
  19. Nine of twelve
    Well played by the Padres.
  20. Nine of twelve
    Looks like it could be Castro now.
  21. Nine of twelve
    OK guys, make it work. 270 feet away.
  22. Nine of twelve
    C'mon Jhoan, blow this guy away and we'll walk off the bottom of the inning.

    The ABS may be different, but if it's correct and our eyes are not (which is almost certainly the case) then our eyes are what causes the issues, not the ABS.

    To make the difference clear to myself I watched this video. I conclude that you are probably correct. BTW, I notice that the Straw Man fallacy and the Slippery Slope fallacy have a word in common because they have in common the attribute of not actually refuting an argument.

    Not that .200 is good, but it isn't as bad now as it was during the steroid era and before. Plain and simply, baseball is in a cycle where pitching has become more dominant.
