    How many TD accounts do Fred and Terry have combined? Right now 85% of posts are being made by them....

    I'm going to get things thrown at me for this....but as I've tried to help give my kids context for Mandalorian, Obi-Wan, Star Wars Rebels, etc.....I have not come away warm and fuzzy about Star Wars. We've tried several of the movies and I don't blame them for losing interest. Most of the plots are sorta bad. They float between boring and listless and meandering and then sprinkle in some action. I still appreciate them but damned if I didn't have an existential crisis about whether I appreciate them purely as nostalgia or something more. *ducks*

    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.

    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.

    The team is 30-21 with a 5 game lead while their best player has been in a month long tailspin, their second best player has been in and out of the lineup due to injury and now covid, their third best player is in the midst of a rough stretch, the pitching staff has been decimated by injury, and Covid has added a nice touch just to keep things interesting. I'm personally of the belief that managers are largely irrelevant, but people need to take a breath and perhaps contemplate the full array of facts. I mean, you're trying so god damn hard to have your belief that you're literally cherry picking out Garlick to make points. Maybe, if you have to try that hard to make a point, there's something wrong with your point.

    Then have a Baldelli gripe thread. This is a single game article where people discuss the goings-on of one game. Turning every one of these into a (often) baseless Baldelli whine-fest is obnoxious and unnecessary. Also, the idea that "lots of people think it!" is justification for it being valid is fallacious reasoning.
  7. TheLeviathan
    These takes are just so bizarre. A decimated squad has a bad game of ABs and we rush to complain about Baldelli? The hell?
  8. TheLeviathan
    With Cole Sands pitching I didn't think the reason we lost was going to be a totally inept offensive showing. The pitching was pretty damn good today and we were just pathetic offensively. After Wentz left, Peralta couldn't throw strikes and we kept bailing him out swinging at bad pitches.
  9. TheLeviathan
    This explains so much.
  10. TheLeviathan
    That lineup is less crappy than I expected all things considered.
  11. TheLeviathan
    The real part of the topic to discuss can be that. It can also be how difficult that process was because of the personal choices made by those players. The insistence to ignore that part of it is really telling. If these were players that chose not to rehab injuries or get in shape for the season we wouldn't let their personal choices let them off the hook for the impact on the team. Yet, here we are. Their choices have consequences that will set the team behind. Perhaps we overcome it and have a good series, that in no way changes the hardships leading up to it.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Don't tell the game threads that. It's a dumpster fire of loud, bad takes. Correa was sent back to the team hotel with symptoms, they tested him, and he came back positive. I hope he's back by the end of the week!
  13. TheLeviathan
    Good to know that Correa was out due to Covid-19 protocols, there were a lot of assumption made about rest time. It looks like they're just grinding right now severely undermanned. They can't blunder on defense and win in that case. They need to execute, get outs, and help their pitching staff out. They didn't do that today - Garlick had a good shot at robbing a HR, Miranda botched two plays that should've ended innings, and they ran into a out. Hopefully we can take two tomorrow.
  14. TheLeviathan
    And I understand as a follower of the team/fan.....why that isn't unfair. It's frustrating to watch your team go into a series handicapped unnecessarily.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Again a make-able play.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Miranda absolutely should have tried for the 3rd out just like Torkelson just did. He just needs to make the throw. Eating it makes absolutely no sense.
  17. TheLeviathan
    If the poor kid had to have knee surgery again it might have effectively been the end of his career. This is good news....as much as it stinks.
  18. TheLeviathan
    I don't know how you possibly define a "#2 starter" and Berrios wouldn't count. Too early to tell on the trade. Those that live to declare trades won and lost quickly usually live to look like fools more often than not. I thought it was the right move then, I thought they got good value, and I'll see how this plays out.
  19. TheLeviathan
    They are middle of the pack but they've also, largely, protected leads. They'll need reinforcements over the coming months so hopefully those options present themselves internally or externally.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Souhan isn't wrong. Their choice, which they are allowed to make, has consequences. And in this case those consequences are could be really difficult for the team to work around in a difficult matchup. It's unfortunate.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Do tell? His numbers are ridiculous. I hope he finds success in St Paul and we see him soon!
  22. TheLeviathan
    I agree with you, but given the way this team is resting players and relying on a short bench.....I'm not sure they can let go of Gordon. We basically need our 2-3 man bench to be able to play everywhere. I'm 100% with you on Steer, but Gordon's ability to do IF and OF is something this team needs to have. (Also why I think we're at a point where Lewis has to stay up)
  23. TheLeviathan
    As others have noted, especially in light of Kepler's injury, I think the answer is "we need both". Plus, I think it's time to start talking about Steer being a guy in this mix as well.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Right, this guy was completely off my radar but reading recent minor league reports and watching highlights.....this guy obliterates baseballs. The swing is pretty and the ball explodes off his bat. This guy sure looks like a player.
  25. TheLeviathan
    I've gotten into the books lately. I know this sounds like a high-brow, derivative comment....but the books really are much, much better than the show. I find the show pretty good, but the pacing and plotting in the books is far superior IMO. And, for the record, I don't always say that. For example, the LOTR is WAY better as a movie series. The Shining too.
