    I'm encouraged, but I'm far from sold on this group. I'm sold on Berrios though - he's a Game 1 playoff starter.

    Sometimes you hit a buzzsaw. It happens, get 'em tomorrow.
  3. TheLeviathan
    I can't love this enough.

    I was looking after your comment and Lewis isn't alone. Tucker and Senzel are struggling too. It's probably Rodgers for Colorado. He's raking in AAA and was 10th on MLB's top 100. Wander Franco has superstar written all over him too it seems.

    Gotta love a W like that.

    Last year Boston went 16-3 against Baltimore, 15-4 against Toronto, and 11-2 against the Royals/Tigers. Take that record (42-9) out of their overall record and they went 66-45. Still a good team, clearly, but not as gawdy. So, yeah, pound the bad teams.

    I wish we had spoiler tags so I knew which moment you were talking about. I too would probably put this movie behind a few others in the franchise, but the big moments were some of the best I've ever seen on the screen. The one with Cap (you know the one).....damn.
  8. TheLeviathan
    Endgame is a masterpiece. It beautifully concludes the best franchise arch of all time.

    It's not often you see a HR with that trajectory fly that fast. Thome is a good comp on that. Kepler seems so close to breaking out. He's having a nice start to his season but I feel like he's just a little push away from being a true force.
  10. TheLeviathan
    I can't judge a trade when the results are still unknown. Trading him hurt 2019, certainly. Doubly so when they had opportunity and did nothing. In the end, that's what bothers me most. I won't be the hypocrite like many here and complain about selling assets with limited team control, or fickle like relievers, in a lost season. I hope the prospects work out and I wish they'd have done more in the offseason, but I'm not going to start singing a different tune on what should have happened. The Twins acted correctly at the 2018 deadline, they failed the offseason after it.
  11. TheLeviathan
    You mean all the things you said in that last paragraph? Those. Along with the context of the position the team was at the time of the trade vs. now. How much time has passed matters. In three years and Alcala is a fringe all-star starter? Hell yeah I make that trade again. It's just not a fair way to frame the discussion. I'd prefer we talk about how dealing him, with no effort in the offseason, is the problem. It's the sum total of action/inaction.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Because your scenario takes a number of factors out of the trade that are relevant: like the performance of the team, team control, etc. Context matters a lot and rarely can you push that hypothetical fairly without a ton of caveats. It may well end up a bad trade. But we could go get Sam Dyson right now and we'd all feel a lot better right? Ain't the end of the world.

    I wish there was a way to access the demographics of ticket-buyers over time. My family has gone from regular baseball game attendees to completely absent. I wonder if we're unique in that regard.
  14. TheLeviathan
    Right now the MLB demographic is old (45+), white, and male. They're the only segment of hte population with money to burning, which is why we havne't seen the breaking point. Yet. Because the people they need to replace those old white dudes are turning to other places because of the cost and a variety of other issues with baseball. At least that's my theory.
  15. TheLeviathan
    In my opinion, bleeding fans dry is a huge problem for baseball. All sports are overpriced, but relative to games played, baseball is pretty unique. Pretty soon they are going to be trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip. I hope more people, even if it's done as absurdly as St. Peter did here, realize the problem and reverse course soon. Or in our lifetimes baseball will be the new boxing or horse racing.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Pretty sure concession prices were ridiculous before any minimum wage laws.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Dave St. Peter is a master at acting like it's a mystery how things happen that are directly under his control.
  18. TheLeviathan
    Wait until August. That press conference where they ask about Kimbrel is going to turn into the Red Wedding.
  19. TheLeviathan
    When can we just declare Garner is a capable backstop? Every time I see him behind the dish he looks light years ahead of last year. It may be time to bury that question and see the upside his bat brings to the Twins at that position.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Once we start rolling out Gibson, Odorizzi, and Perez three out of every five games.....I think we're going to see this team's biggest weakness is starting pitching. And they didn't add enough to the pen to compensate.
  21. TheLeviathan
    I don't mind if he's reckless and aggressive.....if his body holds up. I have lingering concerns about his fragility and missing a day after that doesn't ease my concerns. He's a great CFer, but we need him on the field and making smart baseball plays. I hope this was a learning experience for him.
  22. TheLeviathan
    I too want him aggressive. But he had an at-bat with a couple guys on base and aggressively chased a ball out of the zone on the first pitch....so I want him to be smart and aggressive. He's stinging the ball right now, so I'm not worried yet about his approach.
  23. TheLeviathan
    I'm glad they won because not scoring in the 7th was hard to watch. What the hell was that route by Buxton? That was a hard, but not impossible catch.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Right, not a good call. But Rocco is new and this is something he hopefully learns from. Managers get to do that too,
  25. TheLeviathan
    These numbers are fun enough for another thread!
