    I hope they're not wasting time on this when they could be signing better bargains like Lynn or Cobb.
  2. TheLeviathan
    I hope those that deliberately and unnecessarily complain about this have many opportunities to do so. That'd be a good thing for the Twins.
  3. TheLeviathan
    Which is why I said we should play some more and see if they can continue this. I hope they do, but the time to make the decision about contention isn't now.
  4. TheLeviathan
    Hell, all we have to do is stop playing Kansas City and we're a sub .500 team. The price to play right now is likely so high, it's best to ride this out another month and see where we stand.
  5. TheLeviathan
    I think the term "ace" is one of the most over-blown, largely empty phrases we use in baseball. He's pitching well right now....that's good and that's about all we can really say.
  6. TheLeviathan
    If we deal Dozier again we should at least wait until (if) he heats up. And not for bullpen help. We missed the boat this offseason, in a big way, on that.
  7. TheLeviathan
    Yup, I like analytics, but sometimes the zeal makes me wonder if I've just missed passing by the Church of WAR or something. But I'm guessing they'd settle on a less problematic name....
  8. TheLeviathan
    We get to be extremely confident we're right until we're wrong. Then we get to go back to being extremely confident again. Analytics! (Relax boys, there is a kernel of truth in it but relax nonetheless. No one is impugning your analytics, just mocking your use a bit)

    I've always been a bit of a fanboy of Rosario. He provides a really tantalizing blend of defense, speed, and power. It's awesome to see him putting it together this year.
  10. TheLeviathan
    Clearly he's advanced a lot since.....ah the hell with it. Glad he's up, it's about time, we don't have to hear any more stupid reasoning for why he's down there, and now we get to see this kid pitch. Let's hope it's the last time he sees AAA for a long, long time. (If ever)

    Yeah, I generally think these sorts of things are a bad idea, but I'm on board. Pay the man.
  13. TheLeviathan
    It's too bad we couldn't con someone into taking Inflated Dozier. Maybe he has a July binge coming, let's hope.
  14. TheLeviathan
    Better than nothing I guess.
  15. TheLeviathan
    But on topic, it was nice to see a jubilant Joe Mauer!
  16. TheLeviathan
    Of course! When it's an accident, then I totally understand. Otherwise, don't see the point.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Well that's sort of the point. Their thinking is absurdly stupid. You tried to assert it was some sort of clear delineation along lines of spontaneity vs intent. It's not that at all. It's more like as soon as the game is final exuberant displays of emotion that would otherwise be construed as deliberate attempts to show people up are ignored. That's the real truth. I'm happy for Mauer and, as a fan, his joy is awesome to watch. As I find clutch playoff grand slam celebrations awesome to watch too. I'm just not arbitrarily picking and choosing.
  18. TheLeviathan
    I loved Joe's walkoff and I love the emotion of it BTW. But in doing so I'm staying entirely consistent. If you get pissy at Bautista but love this you're being a hypocrite or short sighted or a homer. But you aren't being consistent.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Guys spontaneously show emotion and passion all the time and get drilled for it. Hell, guys do things accidently (like slides and HBP) and people get drilled for it. Suggesting the difference is intent vs spontaneity is absurd.
  20. TheLeviathan
    For reasons no rational brain can figure out.....walk-offs are allowed to be a mosh pit of exuberance. But only this. http://thestagnantfilipino.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Stupidity-And-Beyond.jpg

    I like how exit velocity could become a really cool measure to study. But I'm with Chief, perhaps we should be a little more cautious in how we talk about it. We are just starting to use the data and see it, it's far from anything to draw sweeping conclusions from.
  22. TheLeviathan
    How's that Donaldson vs. Plouffe thing stand? Don't worry, Hicks will find himself again.
  23. TheLeviathan
    I liked the first episode and the tone and the weirdness to it are pretty cool. That said, I'm kind of over the gratuitously obnoxious blood balloon type of "action". Twice in that episode it delved into that and i'm really not a fan. Realistic violence I'm ok with and even for two hours (ala Sin City) I can deal with it. But every episode of a show? That might grate on me.
  24. TheLeviathan
    DVR'd it last night, looking forward to it after Saul tonight. Neil Gaiman is a pretty weirdly awesome dude. Sandman is worth a look too.
  25. TheLeviathan
    So....you're saying we shouldn't see any ridiculous articles about his weight then? Good for Sano, people really had to look hard to find ways to ding this kid. He's always struck me as being a far more determined player than he's given credit for. And I freaking love his personality - punish the baseball and have fun!
