    They've also only blown 4 leads. There are three teams with three blown saves and a couple with four. They are 11th in baseball in K/9. They are 9th in K/BB. 10th in HRs allowed. I'm sure I don't need to explain that ERA is not a good measure of a bullpen.

    Just because I can afford to pay you 100 grand for your Pontiac Aztek doesn't mean I have to. Look, I wanted Kimbrel, but there is a point at which we want our front office assessing risk and walking away from deals they feel the numbers don't justify. We shouldn't let our disappointment (which I share) cause us to think recklessness is a better idea.
  3. TheLeviathan
    Pretty well? The Twins bullpen has been pretty good so far. What we're talking about is how we upgrade to turn something we're all worried about into something we're not. But make no mistake, performance wise, this group has been good so far.

    I was really hoping Randball Stu was going to have an article in which Ryan Pressly offers intimate candlelight dinners with TD posters so that they can shed all their angst and say goodbye. This'll do though.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Man....Schoop is really struggling.
  6. TheLeviathan
    No, not based on talent. But that's not how our bullpen is being run either. (With good reason)
  7. TheLeviathan
    I think sometimes people conflate "disapprove" with "I won't vote for you". I think that's a serious mistake.
  8. TheLeviathan
    I think it has merit to point out in thissense: those who pound their fist about aggressive moves (who i am among often as well) give the sense that these are no brainers. As if risk doesnt exist. Since that rhetoric is so unwilling to soften and be more of the "I think this helps" vs "we are dumb not to" in tone,posts like MLR's are inevitable and valid. We have goal post movers and chicken littles in here most vocal. Perhaps the chicken littles should question the certain tone of their takes a bit. We all know how easy itd be to drudge up old threads where we all took turns confidently recommending some truly disasterous ideas.

    Given that he's still got a few years of team control I'd say that's probably about right. And yes, I would.
  10. TheLeviathan
    If it matters to Kimbrel, I'm guessing he wanted that percentage much higher.
  11. TheLeviathan
    With the August deadline gone and analytics more and more prevalent, I think we are venturing into new waters about mid-season trading. I could be wrong, but I would bet a lot of deals get done between now and the All-Star Game.

    I hear ya. I have no delusions about voting in a bunch of Democrats, no matter what their banners are. But to me politics is a game of moving policy in a direction. Right now we're heading towards oblivion and I'd prefer less of that. So I try not to place expectations on elected officials, no matter what they say. I just want to clean house of the ones that are awful. Namely, all the Republicans.
  13. TheLeviathan
    I admit...I'm pretty jaded. Aren't you riot in the streets guy?
  14. TheLeviathan
    I don't think it's fair at all. This is clickbait and TD is normally above that.
  15. TheLeviathan
    I don't like it, but I'm ok dealing prospects for relievers. Particularly if they have some team control. Sam Dyson would be a great fit as would Ty Buttrey.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Call me jaded, but I'm not sure it's ever clear that politicians will follow up on their rhetoric. Sometimes the safest place to yell about your principles is from obscurity.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Let's try to hit pop ups to RF. Looks like the wind will do the rest.
  18. TheLeviathan
    I mean, sure, we could've offered him 100M and he said no....but that's not generally what happens. It mostly IS an auction.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Might speak to how irrelevant amenities are relative to more zeros on your paycheck.
  20. TheLeviathan
    There is always risk. There is not always opportunity.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Yeah, not cool that they let him get away. If he truly was a "priority" then make it happen.
  22. TheLeviathan
    Perhaps not, I was only speaking to it as a campaign strategy. We could probably end all these threads with "Politicians gonna politic", so I'm not sure how helpful that observation is

  24. TheLeviathan
    Bah. This sucks.
  25. TheLeviathan
    Kuechel and Kimbrel it is!
