  1. I blame Arcia trying to stretch a double. Damn game of inches...
  2. Joe's still hitting the ball well I see.
  3. Well that was kind of a long first inning. 2-0 Angels on a Pujols home run.

  5. Ahhhh.... Minnesota sports.
  6. Yeah, it hasn't been working for me either. Which is really too bad given the only other option today.
  7. You ever try VPN'ing in? I've been overseas for a year and half so it doesn't matter anymore, but I've been using VPNs for things like Netflix since the U.S. has the best Netflix content. I think when I come back, I'll just try going through a VPN for baseball too.
  8. I know of a pretty easy solution...
  9. Some of you are pretty terrible to be around when the Twins are losing. Remember that movie "Mr. Baseball" starring Tom Selleck's mustache and co-starring Tom Selleck? "Baseball's a game. And games are supposed to be fun."
  10. That call was a huge miss. How did they botch it so badly? Replay is clearly not a panacea.
  11. Also a misunderstanding of statistics. It doesn't matter when in the season the slump happens, it just looks worse at the beginning. If you want, I can send you a link to a Nassim Taleb book.
  12. TL;DR: If we think of baseball season as a marathon, the Twins are basically still at the starting line while the best teams are already over a mile down the course. They can make that up, but they’re starting with a severe disadvantage, and they simply might not have the tools to do so. If we set a baseline goal of 85 wins for the Twins, they have to play .552 baseball for the rest of the year — technically doable, but probably a stretch unless some of those aforementioned breakout candidates take the next step. And, to be fair, those breakout candidates were always going to have to take the next step for the Twins to make the playoffs this year — even before they lost the first eight games of the season. Minnesota isn’t out of it yet. But the odds — and history — aren’t on their side.
  13. Are you really a "numbers guy" if you rely on 7 games to tell the tale? Sounds to me like you're unsure of how statistics actually work.
  14. Crap, I just liked that. My bad.
  15. Well, I muted the Chicago broadcast. It's painful. I can't do it.
  16. Was this before or after you suggested he turn it off and back on again?
  17. This is a pretty terrible strike zone, isn't it?
  18. It says "alternate audio is not available for this video." Thanks though, maybe it'll work next time.
