    Yeah, what the hell man? Why can't we have nice things? http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-tyler-jay-sidelined-again-with-shoulder-issue/

    So he should look for a specious pretext to fire him? Yeah, that'll go over well. Managers will be lining up to work for the Twins.

    Come on. It's literally the manager's job to decide who plays and when. If you're expecting that the GM will send a player to the 25-man along with instructions on exactly how and when to use him, then why the hell would you even employ a manager in the first place? Disagree all you want with the manager's moves (and it seems we have), but this line of reasoning is utterly ridiculous.

    This may be a really good point. Amid all the consternation last year about what Berrios's deal was, it really did seem like he was pressing, or mentally unprepared for the majors. This night he looked more like he took a page from Phil Hughes's book - iffy stuff but with focus and a plan. I think if he gets back on the horse against the Angels, that'll be a great sign regarding his mental toughness and readiness.

    I like seeing Wheeler's family. Anyone remember when Rosario's family was there for his first game, and he goes and hits a home run right away? That was probably my favorite.

    Torrance is not in Orange County, Bert. Orange County is nothing but boring.
  7. 70charger
    You got the order wrong. I blame you for that second run.
  8. 70charger
    No offense to the guy, but I really don't want to see Wheeler try to take this home.

    Okay, do we panic now?
  10. 70charger
    Okay, no panic yet.

    God I love that breaking ball.
  12. 70charger
    I didn't watch it, and reading the recap I'm glad I didn't. But what incident? Also, rewarding your confidence in him there with an RBI.
  13. 70charger
    On mobile and can't like, but I agree with this.

    "Basketball"? Never heard of it. Sounds stupid.
  15. 70charger
    Amazing.
  16. 70charger
    I initially read that as lavatory. Yikes.

    Apparently the voyageurs agreed with the Ojibwe about Grand Marais, seeing as it means "big swamp" in French. Joe M. Voyageur: "Don't go there, it's nothing but a big swamp." Joe M. Ojibwe: "I wasn't gonna..."

    You going to do the same thing for last year, and find reasons that his performance wasn't as bad as it looked? Nah, of course you're not. Doesn't fit your narrative. I looked at BBRef, and his OPS+ in 2015 was 133. He was not only unquestionably good, but unquestionably very good. As to your point about aggregating the stats, sure I get that. But when you're unquestionably very good, and then inexplicably very bad, then isn't it at least the tiniest bit plausible that there's something else going on that "oh, no, he's just bad." Because that conclusion sounds ridiculous to me even when you add up his stats into one whole. Did you conclude that Santana was just garbage after the bad season(s) that he's had? Remember when Liriano used to switch off really good seasons with really bad seasons? Ever call him out for being terrible in unnecessarily large, bolded font? He didn't have it last year. He's showed that he's been able to have it before. Why is it so pants-on-head crazy to think that we might want to give him another chance?
  19. 70charger
    Except when he did. This is an odd blanket statement to make for a guy who had one partial season where he was really good, and one partial season where he was really bad.
  20. 70charger
    Wouldn't matter. He has no leverage. No way he says no to 1:1.
  21. 70charger
    This Santana guy. He's pretty good, huh?
  22. 70charger
    Yes.
  23. 70charger
    I called that. I mean, for the last at bat, but let's not quibble on details. I called that.
  24. 70charger
    I don't know, man. Based on this game, it's Vargas that's got the wheels.

    "Any time you're in a category with Mike Trout..." I, too, am a human male. What do I win?
