    Interesting To clarify...no, I am not actually psychic. And who gets the blame? Easy. MLB and it's ridiculous web of nonsense they call "broadcasting" has slowly eroded their fan base and made their game take a further and further backseat. The terrible media decisions even came with a bonus poison of having massive payroll inequality to boot! Every decision about broadcasting during these changes to sports media has flowed from the league's unwillingness to grow with the times and prioritize eyeballs on their game over short-term profits. The old guard has had baseball on the wrong path for decades. It's already too late to fix most of the damage, just like Bally's dumb app was too late to change things there.

    I would probably rank my top choices the following way: 1. CL Lopez (Baltimore) 2. LF/2B/3B Happ (Cubs) 3. SP Castillo (Reds) 4. RP Finnegan But I'm for sure calling the Marlins and seeing what options I have. Plugging Happ into this lineup would be a wonderful way to keep the defense great (he's marvelous out there) and he has positional flexibility to help with how we use the DH. As a bonus...he crushes LHP.

    The team definitely needs to invest in another high leverage bullpen arm. Maybe two. But for context.....the team is well within the norm for blowing saves/leads in late situations. I mean....poor Rays fans.
  4. TheLeviathan
    I certainly am not defending the Bremergasms about Urshela. It's just number likes that which solidify my skepticism on these metrics. I haven't been won over by them in any kind of sample smaller than a full season.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Clearly Rocco cost us this game. He sucks. Now 12 of you can save your posts and go be miserable elsewhere.
  6. TheLeviathan
    They all seem to say he's below average. That doesn't pass the smell test for me. Ditto Correa.
  7. TheLeviathan
    This thread is a monument to the fact that complaints about endless, baseless bitching about Rocco isn't "fabricated". Ir's a disease this forum is rampantly infected with.
  8. TheLeviathan
    I think he's been better than that number, no?
  9. TheLeviathan
    I know the eye test isn't terribly reliable, but neither are defensive metrics. There is a lot in that I just don't think is terribly helpful for analysis. This team seems to me to be mostly an average to above defense. Though it has trended the wrong way the last month or so.
  10. TheLeviathan
    That almost.....looks....like......sanity. Confusing. Are you sure you belong here?
  11. TheLeviathan
    Well, some often maligned pitchers had a really good night overall. Offense just couldn't make good contact. Jeffers was the only guy who showed up tonight in the lineup.
  12. TheLeviathan
    This isn't even remotely the profile of a "number three starter". And by your own definition he would make 4 out of every 5 starts a quality start. Examining a player to arbitrarily rank him should demand you do more to look at his performance in context.
  13. TheLeviathan
    Agreed. Add to it that teams whine about the unwritten rules when it happens and I'm ready to call for MLB to officially make forfeiting allowed.
  14. TheLeviathan
    Interestingly, only 4 of his 14 starts have been against the ALE. He's been lit up in 5 of his 14 starts as well. His Barrell% and HardHit% are through the roof this year. People seem to be seeing him really well for some reason this year.
  15. TheLeviathan
    That's adorable. You must be new around here....
  16. TheLeviathan
    This team is too slow to run. Though I'm consistently confused on why Buxton isn't running at all. Early in the season the team was running dudes like Sano and now nobody tries.
  17. TheLeviathan
    With the way we know middle infielders age....I'd be really wary of a deal in the 7-10 year range. But I doubt any team locks in him in with less term than that. I'd happily pay him 3 years and 45M per, but I don't think he goes for that either. Which leads me to believe an extension just isn't in the cards. Baseball can't get a salary cap soon enough.
  18. TheLeviathan
    Twins have the 3rd most wins in the AL, 4th best win %. Sometimes you just have a crummy game of ABs.
  19. TheLeviathan
    The same poster said this. So your "trust" mileage ought to be very minimal.
  20. TheLeviathan
    This. The Twins got a few bad breaks, couldn't get a big two out hit, or didn't execute with the bases loaded. Just one of those games when things didn't bounce their way. (And then a bunch of fielding blunders)
  21. TheLeviathan
    I definitely agree as a team building strategy!
  22. TheLeviathan
    The Braves hoarded mediocre outfielders, not relievers. I agree adding to the bullpen should be a priority but some of our narratives don't match the facts.
  23. TheLeviathan
    How many TD accounts do Fred and Terry have combined? Right now 85% of posts are being made by them....
  24. TheLeviathan
    Man, the ball just explodes off this guy's bat. He's got this compact, vicious swing. I'm trying to figure out who he reminds me off.....almost feels like a less roided-Bagwell.
  25. TheLeviathan
    First, I wasn't speaking to you in the first place and you interjected yourself so I responded. If you didn't want to start a conversation, you didn't need to interject in the first place. Second, my response was completely respectful. Fallacious is not an insult, it is an adjective to describe reasoning that is out of whack. A billion people can think Baldelli is bad at his job and it adds no actual weight to criticisms if they can't stand on their own. I suggested an alternative for people who have a problem with Baldelli. Coming into every post-game thread for generic Baldelli ripping is old. Specific criticisms of in-game actions? Sure, makes total sense. The poster I quoted had no detailed or meaningful criticism to offer. So I took issue with "Baldelli sucks!" as a constant minefield in every thread. It's borderline trolling and I merely pointed that out to another poster who you rushed to defend.
