    I think this one was even better! Helluva post.

    100% this. The problems with baseball won't be fixed by the proposals of either side, but they start with ownership greed and the way that greed has manifested in shared revenues, broadcasting, and game pricing. Players have absolutely zero voice on those issues and they are the drivers of baseball's demise. Helluva post.

    I support workers being paid more in all industries. However, I'm not typically a fan of unions and the way they go about things. So this is not some pro-union, anti-owners thing. It's abundantly clear who the villain is this time. I don't support pretty much anything the players want except one overarching idea: the owners don't get to do this. They are the villains. They are crying poor while soaking taxpayers for stadiums. They are crying poor while their investments double and triple in value. They are crying poor when they profit 100M in a pandemic with attendance issues. They chose this path. They chose this outcome. They chose to lie. They don't get to stop baseball, cancel games, and cry poor. That's all BS. Sit at the table and negotiate in good faith and pay fairly. The owners have interest in doing neither but so long as they won't even attempt to behave fairly? Screw 'em. They are the villains.

    If nothing else, I'm personally rooting for this kid. He seems so damn likable and the skill-set is so appetizing. I hope he's able to have a full, successful year this year.

    I think he's our 2 hole hitting, gold glove LF for a long time. The Berrios move stings right now, but I think this guy is a stud.

    I came here with one thing to say and one to ask and you tackled half of it for me! Murderville is a fun concept on Netflix - part improv, part scripted comedy, a lot of fun. Worth a watch. I came to ask if anyone has an opinion on Righteous Gemstones and since I value your opinion highly, I'm bumping that to my next binge. Walter Goggins is a god damn national treasure, the man doesn't get nearly enough love for just how good he is.

    At this point, I'd just like to see a full season out of the kid and I think that's all Nick is saying....on the Royce Lewis BINGO card of crappy ways to lose a season "lockout" wasn't welcome.
  8. TheLeviathan
    We appear to have different definitions of the word "fix".
  9. TheLeviathan
    I see what you're saying about Colon or Madbum, but the truth is the vast majority of pitcher ABs are ugly, useless, or predictable. IMO that doesn't help the game or the aesthetics of it.
  10. TheLeviathan
    Universal DH is the headliner for a reason: it is a wonderful step to improve the quality of baseball viewing. Long overdue
  11. TheLeviathan
    I missed the part where you acknowledged you were wrong about the 2020 negotiations.
  12. TheLeviathan
    This graph is lacking a fourth line: fan apathy. It might actually give that corporate profiteering line a run for it's money. I've always been willing to criticize the union (I have no love lost for unions) but this one is mostly on the owners. The game is broken by them both and I'm just so over it. Go Wild.
  13. TheLeviathan
    I know it's all they can do....but damn what a riveting offseason. We flew into February at break-neck speed! Here comes spring training! Excuse me, I think the Wild and Timberwolves and Lynx and the NFL draft and NFL Monday in June are on....
  14. TheLeviathan
    I think we've reached the stage where won't has persisted to the point of being too late. I hope I'm wrong, but I think we won'ted our way into a can't situation.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Because baseball staunchly refuses to acknowledge the underlying issues.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Baseball is too slow and too regional as the poster above indicated. There is no Madden and won't be.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Not only is there no evidence for this suggestion specifically to shortstop, it flies in the face of actual evidence that says this isn't true.
  18. TheLeviathan
    Ortiz deserves it. Now elect the other guys that do as well: Manny Ramirez, Barry Bonds, and Roger Clemens. Right now the HOF morality lines make about as much sense as the CBA negotiations.
  19. TheLeviathan
    I'm confused why Polanco moving to shortstop magically makes him a crappier hitter? People are aware he was so good at SS just a few years ago he garnered MVP votes right?
  20. TheLeviathan
    Couldn't agree more. With our "do nothing" approach this offseason we need to utilize this season to gamble on some upside. Another "plays defense, but can't hit" old guy is the last thing we need. I'm a believer that defense matters, but I'm an even bigger believer that an offense that kicks ass every night is the best tool to win. The Twins run differential (4th best in the league) in 2019 is a testament to that. A relatively poor defense that year and they still won 101 games. The idea that you HAVE to play defense to win is demonstrably false. That said...go get Story.

    I'll add to what the Nicks said: if we're not willing to sign a Trevor Story or some other big time bat who can field, I'd be totally fine with a Polanco/Arraez middle infield. What they can do offensively is a major boon and we saw that in our lineup not that long ago. Meanwhile, a no-glove husk like Andrelton Simmons was a black hole in our lineup day in and day out. I don't care if he was the Jesus of Shortstops....it ain't worth that black hole. This isn't your Terry Ryan "Everyone throw a SINKER!" pitching staff any more. The emphasis on infield defense can take a step back in priority. Ideally, sign a guy that can do both and keep Jorge at 2B. If you can't or won't do that, I won't complain about a MIF that can hit instead of the crap-fest we rolled out at SS last year in the name of defense.

    Rhys Darby is hilarious.
  23. TheLeviathan
    It looks like Oscar Isaac is totally throwing himself into the role. It could be bonkers. Marvel is setting up a supernatural/scary wing of their universe with Dane Whitman, Blade, Moon Knight, etc. That could lead to some seriously good stuff.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Yup. That's a garbage starting point. Baseball should be thinking radically and all we get is this. Plus....14 teams in the playoffs? Ugh.

    *Said all future Gopher fans 11 months later the last two years (Hope it happens though!)
