    The team definitely needs to invest in another high leverage bullpen arm. Maybe two. But for context.....the team is well within the norm for blowing saves/leads in late situations. I mean....poor Rays fans.
  2. TheLeviathan
    I certainly am not defending the Bremergasms about Urshela. It's just number likes that which solidify my skepticism on these metrics. I haven't been won over by them in any kind of sample smaller than a full season.
  3. TheLeviathan
    Clearly Rocco cost us this game. He sucks. Now 12 of you can save your posts and go be miserable elsewhere.
  4. TheLeviathan
    They all seem to say he's below average. That doesn't pass the smell test for me. Ditto Correa.
  5. TheLeviathan
    This thread is a monument to the fact that complaints about endless, baseless bitching about Rocco isn't "fabricated". Ir's a disease this forum is rampantly infected with.
  6. TheLeviathan
    I think he's been better than that number, no?
  7. TheLeviathan
    I know the eye test isn't terribly reliable, but neither are defensive metrics. There is a lot in that I just don't think is terribly helpful for analysis. This team seems to me to be mostly an average to above defense. Though it has trended the wrong way the last month or so.
  8. TheLeviathan
    That almost.....looks....like......sanity. Confusing. Are you sure you belong here?
  9. TheLeviathan
    Well, some often maligned pitchers had a really good night overall. Offense just couldn't make good contact. Jeffers was the only guy who showed up tonight in the lineup.
  10. TheLeviathan
    This isn't even remotely the profile of a "number three starter". And by your own definition he would make 4 out of every 5 starts a quality start. Examining a player to arbitrarily rank him should demand you do more to look at his performance in context.
  11. TheLeviathan
    Yeah....Star Wars is broken outside Mando.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Agreed. Add to it that teams whine about the unwritten rules when it happens and I'm ready to call for MLB to officially make forfeiting allowed.
  13. TheLeviathan
    Interestingly, only 4 of his 14 starts have been against the ALE. He's been lit up in 5 of his 14 starts as well. His Barrell% and HardHit% are through the roof this year. People seem to be seeing him really well for some reason this year.
  14. TheLeviathan
    That's adorable. You must be new around here....
  15. TheLeviathan
    This team is too slow to run. Though I'm consistently confused on why Buxton isn't running at all. Early in the season the team was running dudes like Sano and now nobody tries.
  16. TheLeviathan
    With the way we know middle infielders age....I'd be really wary of a deal in the 7-10 year range. But I doubt any team locks in him in with less term than that. I'd happily pay him 3 years and 45M per, but I don't think he goes for that either. Which leads me to believe an extension just isn't in the cards. Baseball can't get a salary cap soon enough.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Twins have the 3rd most wins in the AL, 4th best win %. Sometimes you just have a crummy game of ABs.
  18. TheLeviathan
    The same poster said this. So your "trust" mileage ought to be very minimal.
  19. TheLeviathan
    This. The Twins got a few bad breaks, couldn't get a big two out hit, or didn't execute with the bases loaded. Just one of those games when things didn't bounce their way. (And then a bunch of fielding blunders)
  20. TheLeviathan
    Part of the problem is that if you use that crew, you get compared to TNG. And that's a high bar. Even Season 1, which was good, never felt like it touched what I loved about TNG. I too will give Season 3 a shot but I'm not coming in with much enthusiasm. I have to give SNW a shot, I've been meaning too but Picard soured me pretty hard.
  21. TheLeviathan
    I definitely agree as a team building strategy!
  22. TheLeviathan
    The Braves hoarded mediocre outfielders, not relievers. I agree adding to the bullpen should be a priority but some of our narratives don't match the facts.
  23. TheLeviathan
    MCU fans don't have that 40 year old servitude to adhere to. They said right off the bat "Nope, we're doing our own thing, come along or don't" I think Star Wars fans are their own worst enemy. They demand fealty to ideas/tropes/storytelling that has always held the series back. They complain if they aren't there, they complain if they're there and nothing is new, and they complain when they get bold, new takes. The entire recent trilogy of Star Wars is a microcosm of those problems. Only the Mandalorian has risen above those problems and, surprise, one of the MCU's main guys is behind it.
  24. TheLeviathan
    How many TD accounts do Fred and Terry have combined? Right now 85% of posts are being made by them....
  25. TheLeviathan
    I'm going to get things thrown at me for this....but as I've tried to help give my kids context for Mandalorian, Obi-Wan, Star Wars Rebels, etc.....I have not come away warm and fuzzy about Star Wars. We've tried several of the movies and I don't blame them for losing interest. Most of the plots are sorta bad. They float between boring and listless and meandering and then sprinkle in some action. I still appreciate them but damned if I didn't have an existential crisis about whether I appreciate them purely as nostalgia or something more. *ducks*
