    Right, they have good teams....but the West is usually much, much deeper. Orlando is in the lottery if they are in the west.
  2. TheLeviathan
    All good things come to an end. Royce in the field and at the plate....awesome. Hopefully we're seeing the real Royce again to help carry this offense.
  3. TheLeviathan
    Right. Sure...the Celtics are good. But it seems like my entire life the 10th seed in the West feels about as good as the 4 or 5 out East.

    I see this decision as akin to if the Vikings had shelled out a huge deal to Darnold. I guess we'll see how things play out, but McAffery isn't getting younger. Nor is their offensive line. Deebo is gone. The defense is young and unproven. It's not even close to the team he walked into and looked that good IMO.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Well, I'll give you credit for consistency and guts. Most of the rest of the choir is hiding under their bridge waiting for the first loss to crawl out again and spam the board with their takes. Kudos for at least some form of integrity in your opinions.

    At some point we'll hear our choir of haters offer some flowers to how well the coaching staff is doing right? Surely credit gets offered as equally as blame..... Great streak in the face of adversity.

    Baseball is a cruel sport. No other major sport has as much variability year to year. What looks like is trending up can suddenly crash out.

    Just wait until we give 87 year old Brock Nelson a guaranteed top 6 spot and eleventy billion dollars and a no move clause! Watch out NHL!

    When was the last time the East was even close to the West in talent? Has it even happened in our lifetimes?

    Guys can lose money looking terrible in the field. And it can follow them to the plate. I understand the resistence, especially for guys that aren't particularly gifted in the field to begin with.
  11. TheLeviathan
    I don't think Rose should be in the HOF, more the museum thing as mentioned before. But the league's hypocrisy on gambling is certainly of note too.
  12. TheLeviathan
    This. NFL teams fear starting over at the QB position so they overpay good QBs who will never get them where they want to go. That roster is older, weaker, and nowhere near as setup to succeed as the one he QB'd early on. I expect this contract looks bad within a year or two.
  13. TheLeviathan
    A team that started this poorly, with injuries like this, and their stars struggling is exactly the recipe that causes a team to just tank a season. The fact this team stayed together, rallied, and got scrappy is a data point Twins fans should consider in Rocco's favor. We don't see the actions that stop that spiral, but we see the results on the field. He should be getting more credit from folks. (Especially those who blame him for everything that goes wrong. If they have any integrity in their opinions)
  14. TheLeviathan
    Gross indeed.
  15. TheLeviathan
    So I hear you saying we ban opposing teams from hitting to CF. Got it.
  16. TheLeviathan
    100%. Which is what was in my brain and yet somehow the dim-witted part typed 3B.
  17. TheLeviathan
    First off - kudos to all the leadership on the team and the players, they are grinding. This is a team playing a style TK would be proud of. With Correa and Buck likely to be out for a week who are we calling up? I imagine we'll see Bader take over CF full time and is it finally time to see McCusker come up? Gaspar back up as a utility with Lee taking over SS and Castro at 2B?
  18. TheLeviathan
    I mean....they won today off clutch homers from Vazquez and Clemens. They are putting up runs with two main stars playing putrid and two young studs out.
  19. TheLeviathan
    The team had some rotten luck early that made them seem worse than they really are. The team is now having some crazy good luck that makes them seem better than they actually are. I think we can safely say that this team has four good starters and a good bullpen. It might even have a functional lineup when all the horses are back. But the infield defense and lineup will decide how far this team goes, it just needs to consistently scrape across 4 runs and we can be a legit shot to make the playoffs.
  20. TheLeviathan
    For sure, we shouldn't expect this with the bat, but I won't complain if we get lucky and it continues either!
  21. TheLeviathan
    Maybe, but I've always been a skeptic of the metrics on defensive runs saved and other measures. I don't think we've found a way to quantify good defense yet, at least not the scope of it.
  22. TheLeviathan
    I know there were concerns when Bader signed about how much a good outfielder can impact games, but I think we're starting to see the limitations of defensive metrics. We run a flyball pitching staff (historically, I haven't looked at the data this year), in a park with some room in the OF, and we were playing plodding dudes out there the last few years. The night and day difference with Bader and Buxton out there is evident to my eye test. They're winning significantly at the margin for us.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Ober wasn't sharp and that could cause us some bullpen issues in game 2. Let's hope SWR can come out and give us a good start. Nice to see this team keep getting contributions up and down the lineup.
  24. TheLeviathan
    100%. And the fact they are so adamant against it only throws gas on the fire. Wemby got another running mate too at 6.5% odds.
  25. TheLeviathan
    Lee at 3B, Keaschell at 2B, Correa at SS seems like the path ahead for as long as Correa doesn't hit the age cliff. Part of me sorta hopes the team is in a position at some point to deal Lopez for an answer at 1B. Then invest in Ryan/Ober/Zebby/Festa/other up and comers in the years ahead.
