    They're going to get killed. But hopefully the scrounge up a few wins in the series. That's, I think, all we can really hope for.
  2. TheLeviathan
    Absolutely, injuries are wildcards that shake your confidence. Im making no grand predictions about Santana, more asserting just how grand a prediction it is to think May or Romero are going to jump from their last season to what was stated in this thread.
  3. TheLeviathan
    I freaking LOVE the way Kepler reacted after those homeruns.
  4. TheLeviathan
    That can all be true and it can still be silly to think it is "likely" he'll be worse than a guy who hasn't started in two years (or pitched at all in a year) and a rookie who had a 4+ ERA in AA last year are going to rise up and be better than him.
  5. TheLeviathan
    The last time Trevor May started a baseball game Barack Obama was President. Fernando Romero has pitched one game above AA and last year, at AA, posted a 4.25 ERA with a WHIP of 1.35. I don't care what your definition of likely is, they aren't "likely" to outpitch a guy that has posted an ERA+ over 100 all three years with the Twins. Is it impossible? Of course not. But likely is just nonsense.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Well, if this FO can save that wreck it would be huge. Let's hope we see more.
  7. TheLeviathan
    I have a hard time calling May or Romero "likely" to be better than Santana. I mean, you can believe that if you want, but you do so in the face of things like facts and evidence.
  8. TheLeviathan
    Worried for the whole year? Not yet. Worried he's going to be available for far less of the season than previously indicated? Yes.
  9. TheLeviathan
    My wife had a similar take. I'm a bit apprehensive as well, but Noah Hawley has a pretty good track record so I'm reserving judgement on that.
  10. TheLeviathan
    Garver's shot was an absolute blast. Get that man more playing time please.
  11. TheLeviathan
    No one should be eager to see Dozier go because of prospects we have. But we also shouldn't be eager to give a middle infielder his age any contract over three years either. Dozier being a late bloomer has put this decision in an awkward spot, but I think cooler heads will determine that any long-term investment is likely a mistake.
  12. TheLeviathan
    If he wants to do something similar for half the years, I'm interested. I'd give him 3/65 even. But anything over 3 years and I'm out unless it's a full team option.
  13. TheLeviathan
    Baseball players often feel like they have chastise young players (or, most frequently (but not in this case), non-American players) for playing "the wrong way". I don't believe this is Dozier's first foray into that sort of thing. It won't be the last either and it won't ever stop being confusing and subjective.
  14. TheLeviathan
    Getting beat by 25, at home, with playoff seeding on the line is almost as embarrassing as the Memphis loss. I know Butler is great, but this stretch of the season without him should've been the time KAT or Wiggins elevated their game and instead we see this. Ugh.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Media maybe, not much a Molitor thing so far as I can see. Rosario, Berrios, and Dozier have all commented publicly about not liking it. I was happy to see Bert immediately step in to squash the complaint-fest Bremer was ramping up. It's rare to see Bert on the well-reasoned side of an unwritten rules issue.
  16. TheLeviathan
    If the game is "too close to over" for a bunt, it's too close to over for a shift. If you shift, you get what you asked for. Twins are spoiling an amazing effort with whining.
  17. TheLeviathan
    I've never seen Gibson's stuff look that lively. It manifested some walks, but I'll take something like this every night from him, he was filthy. Also...Max Kepler is going to be a star.
  18. TheLeviathan
    In my opinion, Punisher is the one to try. I think you will find JJ2 largely boring or maddening.
  19. TheLeviathan
    I thought the second half of Daredevil Season 2 (when Punisher left the forefront) became pretty dreadful. The first half of Luke Cage was pretty great too, but it also became dreadful. And we shouldn't even speak of Defenders, good lord what a mess. I don't think it's coincidence that the best parts of the Netflix run featured Fisk, Killgrave, Cottonmouth, and Punisher. You know....villains worth loving.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Also....Jessica Jones Season 2.....not so hot. The Marvel Netflix run has had one decent showing since Daredevil/Jessica Jones started so strong. (Punisher)
  21. TheLeviathan
    Chargois had a nice day today. *Ducks*
  22. TheLeviathan
    Losing Polanco does hurt, but I don't think the Indians come anywhere close to 3rd in the AL in offense next year. I also imagine their pitching (while still clearly the best in the AL) won't be quite so dominant. They had the best ERA+ in the last century. Odds are not good for repeating that. I think the depth the Twins have in their lineup and their pitching staff makes up a lot of ground on the high-end pitching of the Indians. But the Twins are a far shakier bet because there are still so many players we're unsure about.
  23. TheLeviathan
    I don't think the margin is that great. The Indians were historically amazing as a pitching staff last year, I'm not sure they can repeat that level of production. And I'm not terribly convinced their offense can muster what it did last year either. (I have similar concerns about the Twins, but I think the margin is closer to 2-3 right now)
  24. TheLeviathan
    I commend you for handling that way less derisively than it deserved.
  25. TheLeviathan
    Boy, that infield looks thin. I hope they're still in the market for someone.
