    I'll at least have it on a laptop in the Polanco neighborhood in Mexico City. I may try to go out somewhere because (sadly) since it's the Yankees, they very well may have it on TV here.

    Same.

    I have a friend who was very much not into baseball and from Chicago to boot. Over the years, I've gotten him into the Twins, and as I recall, it was seeing Perk come into a close game with "God's Gonna Cut You Down" filling the stadium that was the moment that he really started to "get it." If Perkins is riding off into the sunset, I hope he knows what kind of effect he had on the Twins, and how much we appreciate it.

    Can I still blame Chief for something though?
  5. 70charger
    Can't watch it on video today. Was there really a three base throwing error?

    Colombian Spanish is too easy! I kid, but there is a distinct Caribbean accent that you'd likely have to deal with in baseball. Personally I hear an enormous difference between when I'm in Mexico or Colombia, and when I'm in Panama. The islands are supposed to even more mashed. Maybe start practicing Spanish with like three or four marbles in your mouth. See what it sounds like.

    He never said it was a conspiracy. And there's strong evidence across many professional sports that home field advantage is real, and it is largely attributable to officiating. In a raucous place like New York, why wouldn't you think that that would continue to hold true? What he said was reasonable and supported by evidence. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy theory. And he doesn't need your permission to post even if it were.

    Did Kevin Gorg really just say "we're going to take care of those Yankees dicks"? Because that's what I heard.
  9. 70charger
    But why can't Mauer drive balls to the pull side?
  10. 70charger
    It's okay, I'll just blame you.

    Yeah, these recaps are awesome. They have kept me away from ESPN (aka the LeBron Channel), and that can only be a good thing.

    Pretty sneaky, Hildenberger.
  14. 70charger
    That looked bad for Castro. Hope he's okay.
  15. 70charger
    Well that I can agree with. These stats certainly shouldn't be dogma.

    Eh. Only if you separate them into two and only two pieces. I think the point of the response, which was largely fair, was that he's had to really make up for a lack of power, which is only one component of offense, with good contact and on-base. On top of that, he's playing great defense at a position where it isn't as important as others, and he's being compared offensively to those who also play that position. If he were OPSing 800 and playing gold glove defense at short, he wouldn't be "above average," he'd be "amazing." Player evaluation needs a pretty holistic view: all players have some things they do well and other they don't. We also have to fit players into the proper context to determine their overall worth. It's too simplistic to take just two components and say that the sum is less than the parts.

    I'll let those smarter than I do that planning. I just want to say how happy I am that we are having this conversation. Win Twins.

    Scared her off, did you?
  21. 70charger
    A bit spicier today, so:
  22. 70charger
    Classic Mauer
  23. 70charger
    5 pitches, 2 batters ...3 outs.
  24. 70charger
    Pretty high-leverage situation for Hildenberger. Far cry from his usage early in the year, eh?
  25. 70charger
    He makes half a million more than the highest-paid player in Korea. I'm guessing he sticks it out for another year, unless he's at the point where he doesn't care about the money.
