    If the measure for every AL team is their schedule than the conclusion has to be that virtually no one in the AL or NL is for real. The Yankees, Dodgers, Twins, Brewers, Rays, Cardinals, Padres, and several others are also "not for real". The Mets, Angels, Astros, and Giants have had "meh" schedules. So not for real too? The Blue Jays and....(checks to be certain)...the Arizona Diamondbacks are the teams who are for real this year. Or....maybe in a small sample like that using the schedule as such a major part of the argument is a flawed methodology.
  2. TheLeviathan
    The Twins were playing like garbage going into the ChiSox series as well. The White Sox ARE a good team, playing the "how were they playing when we played them" game because an unwinnable condition for anyone that complicates everything.
  3. TheLeviathan
    Please correct me if I'm wrong because I don't get to watch a lot of full games.....but it sure seems to me that they are running more than last year? Or is that just because "more" than "never" is a pretty low bar?
  4. TheLeviathan
    They beat Tampa 2 out of 3 and helped bury the ChiSox. They didn't fare well against the Dodgers but there were a lot of weird circumstances there too. Basically, they can only play who they play. This is what the AL is....a couple challenges and mostly cupcakes. This team is winning while missing Correa, Buxton, Arraez, Sano, Bundy, Gray, Ober, Kiriloff, Alcala etc. I don't know if they're for real, but it's real that they have done one helluva job 20% of the way in with the circumstances.
  5. TheLeviathan
    This article deserves serious promotion. Well done.
  6. TheLeviathan
    What a rocket by Wallner, my god. Dude looked safe, but wow.
  7. TheLeviathan
    I'm old enough to remember when "Austin Martin" was spelled "Royce Lewis" in this cut and paste article...
  8. TheLeviathan
    Absolutely none. Don't cut him but Paddock, Ryan, Winder, Ober, and Gray are our best arms. Anyone else takes a seat.

    I hope it's a great solution....Until you realize piracy is free and way more ethical than giving Sinclair money!
  10. TheLeviathan
    A hardcore baseball site and the majority of the people posting are rejecting this on the basis of A) way too expensive as a streaming option B ) Sinclair is an awful company with no trust and good will C) Pirating is free. I'll say it here like I'm saying in the other thread: this will appeal to a very small subset of fans. It is yet another needlessly complicated way to access the game. The only thing MLB is good at is turning "How do I watch my favorite team: into this:
  11. TheLeviathan
    Seems like having Miranda/Urshela/Arraez cover 1B and 3B is working quite splendidly. I like Sano, but this situation is peachy.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Winder's stuff looked really good. That kid has a chance to be something special.
  13. TheLeviathan
    Hey...remember when you complained we traded Cruz for prospects? Good times.
  14. TheLeviathan
    I agree with you that the decision should be made on the basis of "Larnach needs to play nearly every day". I'm on the record of being in favor of riding things with Sano, but if the team thinks they're better with Larnach at DH and Kiriloff at 1B....so be it. I mean, at this point, Kepler should also be on watch.
  15. TheLeviathan
    This. The defense will always hurt his value, but honestly....are some of you watching the same Sano that I am? He's spitting on those outside slider/breaking balls more often than ever, he's working counts, and he's stinging the **** out of the ball. That's a much better Sano than we've seen, he's just not having much luck. Giving up on him (and for what?) makes no sense in that context.
  16. TheLeviathan
    K.
  17. TheLeviathan
    All you can ask players to do is take the right approach, improve the approach if it isn't working, and hope the results reward the process. No one, not with advanced stats, eye test, or anything else in the history of baseball is going to bad mouth a player who is stinging the ball all over and just having bad luck. The advanced stats aren't perfect, they just try to identify players that are doing things right, even if the results haven't shown it yet. Or, vice versa, guys who have results that look unsustainable. Reality often vindicates those conclusions over time. Some of the posts in this thread to the contrary....woof. If you don't understand it, just ignore it and steer clear of it. Opening your mouth to admit just how poorly you understand it is a bad look.
  18. TheLeviathan
    Nice win, Buxton can't keep doing it by himself but hopefully Kep, Correa, Sano, and the rest of the crew start heating up.
  19. TheLeviathan
    My god....that is one of the worst Minnesota playoff losses ever. And I know that's a high bar.
  20. TheLeviathan
    There are worse.
  21. TheLeviathan
    That Nelson Cruz trade is looking more and more like a heist.
  22. TheLeviathan
    I am so over the defense of "all opinions should be heard". No. No they shouldn't. If you're misleading, lying, vacuous, nonsensical, or any other form of "This isn't well intentioned or well reasoned"....screw that. Not only do you not deserve to be heard, we should actively stop your nonsense from infecting otherwise reasonable and interesting discourse. If my wife and I are discussing our plans for the weekend and I want a serious discussion about space travel to the Kepler system....she would rightly tell me to shut up. We teach kids from a young age to have well reasoned, on topic discussions. Then as adults we seem to think letting any inane, down right stupid, harmful, or malicious conversation happen out of some misguided notion of free speech is ok. It's preposterous.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Suggesting we ease Buxton back in from this injury at DH makes sense for a few days if we aren't putting him on the IL. It's not unlike what happens in rehab assignments where players work their way back in phases. Leaping from that to regular DH time is preposterous. Randball Stu would be proud of that kind of premise. Byron Buxton gets hurt doing pretty much everything involved with playing baseball. If he's healthy enough to play....you play him in CF.
  24. TheLeviathan
    They are a nightmare matchup for Memphis. I think we win this series.
  25. TheLeviathan
    I think this is ahead of the curve and a good idea. Much better for families with kids.
