    0.7% chance. Some lottery tickets have better odds. There is fandom hope and then there is being silly. I would hope these two games pushed a few people out of silly territory.
  2. TheLeviathan
    What you want is like buying a new house because you happened to find an envelope with ten thousand dollars in the gutter. Twice. Not exactly a sound basis for planning going forward. Root for them to win all you want, but you're hurting the team long term to clutch on to expiring players out of some delusion the team is in contention. Go get some controllable assets that can help you win for a long time.
  3. TheLeviathan
    For those of us who saw that win streak for what it was (home cooking against historically bad teams) - this is a welcome sobering reality. This team is a seller and needs to be.

    This QO talk really doesn't make sense guys. Especially for Escobar. If you want to give him 18 million, you better do it over 2 or 3 years.
  5. TheLeviathan
    The irony is that Escobar himself is precisely the kind of player you're opposed to us acquiring.

    It'd be nice if he spread out his binges a bit more so that it wasn't late July and we're still a far cry from .500. Make no mistake, he holds a great deal of blame in that. Counting on second half binges is dicey territory. Even dicier for a middle infielder into his 30s now. Maybe he goes Ruth the last few months, but it's too little too late for this team. And he's a bad investment going forward. I hope the Twins find good value in moving on.
  7. TheLeviathan
    Perhaps it's time to stop expecting Buxton to be healthy.
  8. TheLeviathan
    Those are not mutually exclusive. The prior achievements took place before health issues took over. We're in 2018, if you have a time machine to bring us 2009 Joe Mauer to the present day, then all of that would be helpful and relevant. (And pretty awesome, though I'd probably use the time machine for better purposes. Probably)

    Dozier's inconsistency is an issue though. For the first half of the season we were sticking a sub-700 OPS player in key places in the lineup hoping for the corner to turn. Now, you could argue the manager should've been hitting him 8th until his binge, but we also know Brian Dozier gets easily poutyif he doesn't hit where he wants to hit. And there is always a high chance that "corner to turn" is never going to come. I'd still rather have Dozier because of the upside, but his consistency issues have always really bugged me. I don't have a problem with a guy having slumps and streaks, that's natural. But this half-season feast or famine stuff just isn't the kind of play I'd like to invest in long-term.
  10. TheLeviathan
    I think it's fair to point out that while Dozier likes to have great second halves.....so do the Cleveland Indians.
  11. TheLeviathan
    The Rays got mad that Dozier celebrated forcing a balk? Lame. Dozier celebrated a balk huh? Irony is rich there, but the hypocrisy is the least surprising part of the whole display of nonsense.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Perhaps. Worst thing that happens is they say "No"
  13. TheLeviathan
    Maybe not, but we do know from the past that the Rockies like Gibson.
  14. TheLeviathan
    I would deal Gibson and Rodney for Gray in a heartbeat. I could see Colorado being open to it to, but it depends how frustrated they are behind the scenes with him. It's worth a call for sure.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Rodney and a good prospect maybe?
  16. TheLeviathan
    Why would they want Dozier? I doubt they move LeMahieu or supplant him.
  17. TheLeviathan
    I hope he's closing some games for us in August and September.
  18. TheLeviathan
    We're talking about 16 games. They'd have to go 12-4 just to get to .500. Yes, Cleveland is not a juggernaut, but 7 games against the worst teams in baseball history should not change our perception of the team. This is still a team that got it's ass handed to it in Milwaukee and Chicago. And the majority of the first half of the season. It's like being in the eye of the hurricane and proclaiming "storm's over!" No...we just hit a comfy part of the schedule. Nothing more, nothing less. It shouldn't change what this team is doing by July 31st. No one is demanding they make a deal right now, by noon or something. Just not to get deluded by pasting AA teams at home.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Yeah, didn't want to post that until I looked it up. But you're right, these could be the two worst teams of all time. And people are talking about playoffs? Can I get a meme of Picard face-palming while Jim Mora yells "Playoffs?!?!?"
  20. TheLeviathan
    I love how beating two of the worst teams in major league baseball's recent history suddenly has people thinking playoffs again. Someone queue up Picard's facepalm for when we stop playing AA teams.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Possibly....and hda this year gone as planned I'd be in on the idea. But we need to focus on selling, not buying.
  22. TheLeviathan
    He's, by far, the best catcher in baseball for one. And with the position scarcity I can't imagine him being more valuable than now.
  23. TheLeviathan
    He might have also ignored more important issues like pitch recognition in favor of being old school and tough.
  24. TheLeviathan
    The Indians.
  25. TheLeviathan
    Quick....see what the price tag is for the #1 in the Orioles rotation! Then we'll have two aces! Where a dude lines up in your rotation is relative to the talent on your roster. The Yankees don't care where Gibson ranks in our rotation, they care about what he would add to their team on the field and how long he would add to it.
