  1. His body language and constant small tinkering/frustration reminded me of a guy I played with in a wood bat league a few years ago. Talented no doubt, but went on a cold streak the likes of which I have never seen. 45 PA 2 walks 0 hits About 35-38 strike outs Towards the end he would spend an entire hour car drive to the fields talking about how he "figured out what he was doing wrong" like the most minute crap ever (elbow wrong angle, etc etc) he bought Ted Williams books and a few more to "diagnose" the probelm. Finally our "coach" who's pregame conditioning before pitching typically involved about a dozen beers until 4am the night before a game basically told him to STFU and just work on making contact. It took a few more games but it finally paid off. Some people when they struggle tend to think too much, and really the solution there is take it back to the basics: see ball, hit ball. Once you can do that again, then you can start tweaking things again.
  2. Yankees are pretty set at OF for the near future, so not sure they NEED to get Harper. But still could see them doing that. Harper/judge/hicks OF with a couple more top prospects in the wings of Hicks fails? Yowzers
  3. Yeah, the Meyer and Hicks trades really could blow up in this franchises face when it's all said and done. I don't think Meyer is a sure thing, but I would be much more excited about him getting starts then Tespech etc this year. Sigh
  4. Mark DeRosa
  5. Counterpoint: I think Bernandino is awesome. 3rd best media member in MSP IMO, right behind Russo (who might be top 5 nation wide) and the Common Man.
  6. If an accusation wasn't made, it was heavily implied....
  7. I'd reccomend two sets of people take the following advice: "You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em!" Parker, in all seriousness I think you should issue an apology to Berrios Also people claiming this is libel, it's not libel, let's move on back to the topic at hand.
  8. He's a staff ace for this team. I equate him to what Radke was, Radke got the Twins to the cusp of contending, then Johan came along and got us to the next level. Hopefully Berrios can be that. Berrios and Santana could be a solid 1-2 IMO. Not perfect, but not bad.
  9. Que?!?! I think the big bad this year has been great, he's gonna go full Malvo soon enough. Season one sort of dragged in the middle episodes as well. This will be fine
  10. You are all posting in an epic thread, and don't even know it yet. Just have faith. This is bigger then Parker, Berrios and us all to be honest. #faith
  11. Haha wow, this latest report. Trump clearly doesn't get it, I wonder if he legit has dementia at this point. How else could you explain him being dumb enough to drop that classified info to the Russians last week? In the midst of everything else going on
  12. I'd suggest you post the important parts then. I disagree 100% that it would be considered libel (and I have dealt with libel acquisitions leveled against employees of mine in the past)
  13. Trump is a pretty tall guy, I saw him in passing several years ago and he is definitely 6' 3" or close to it. (I am 6 '3") no chance in hell he is 236 pounds though, he definitely is pushing 300. There is a reason why all of his suits are loose fitting.
  14. for the 1,000th time. Plz Fix
  15. yeah lol its not even close to libel, nor would anyone try to claim that
  16. Well for one thing this thread is about the farm system, so I'm not sure what Castro or Sano/Dozier/Vargas have to do with anything.
  17. Can't agree enough. It has ruined this country.
  18. I will bet you $5,000 they don't sweep em
  19. Scuff (on baseballs) Rulez!!!1!!
  20. Yeah if the professional hitters who have had thousands of professional at bats against hundreds of pitchers in their professional careers didn't notice anything fishy, I'd say it's probably just much ado about nothing. A good lesson in twitter and how it works IMO. Can spread like wildfire. Unfortunately this is the main story being talked about in the papers today in re: Berrios start, rather than talk about how Berrios did fantastic and at least for one day looks like the true front of the rotation guy this team has needed for a long long long time.
  21. Like
  22. IMO it's a pretty large gripe. The good news is that it's not super hard to et solid 7th inning type guys at the deadline, hopefully they can hold together until July for now.
