  1. Wow, the learningmarkets presentations are really excellent. There is a lot of free knowledge on that website. Yesterday on the podcast Jagerson talks about the Apple cash pile. He speculates that the market may not be discounting the stock price for the (small) chance that it will have greater tax obligations in the future. He also sees some risk that management could be increasingly distracted with managing its cash as opposed to focusing on its core business. https://www.learningmarkets.com/podcast/
  2. Looks pretty bad to me, seen him bungle too many routing ground balls. His feeds to Dozier have cost us a double play on ocassion (two nights ago was an example), Dozier wants those balls on the left field side of the bag, Polanco doesn't always put it there, Escobar usually does. Arm is definitely marginal as is his ability to field anything with mustard on it, IMO.
  3. The entire lineup isn't made up of streaky batters, so its a moot point. The entire lineup is made up of some average hitters and then a guy with an OPS that's .150 points higher than everyone else- Dozier. If the rest of the lineup moved up to Dozier's batting line- regardless of how streakily or consistently they achieved it, this would be a much improved team.
  4. This theory just doesn't seem to bear out in reality. Not for this year's Twins anyway. April: 7-17; Dozier: .617 May 8-19: Dozier: .632 June 10-17; Dozier: .1.163 July: 15-11; Dozier: .824 Aug: 9-20; Dozier: 1.072 Sept: 2-4; Dozier: 1.724
  5. I can't believe Alex Meyer is still starting games.
  6. He did start the year in a slump, and the Twins got off to a horrid start. On the other hand he hit 13HRs in August and the Twins still had a losing record. I do not think one man decides most games either way.
  7. IMO the Miller trade reeks of a manager-turned-officer reaching back to get one of his former players. I realize Miller didn't debut for the Cards until 2012 but they shared spring trainings together before that.
  8. Neither of the DBacks moves were celebtrated on their own by independent outlets. Fangraphs valuated the Miller trade as a massive overpay. The Greinke contract was an overpay- even Greinke is quoted somewhere as saying "I'm not really this good." The DBacks horrible execution doesn't invalidate the strategy.
  9. Exactly. Pretty sure I speak for 75-80% of fans when I say hiring a dinosaur like LaRussa for his first executive job ever would be a huge disappointment.
  10. Kendrys being interview after the game STILL USING A TRANSLATOR. 11 years you'd think he'd be able to regurgitate canned replies like everyone else. I don't know why this bothers me rn. Wait yes I do. Its that dad-gummed rusty penile trickle dysfunction!!!!
  11. Its about the Top Gear engineering workshop in Penistone, UK http://i.imgur.com/xUwj2OR.jpg
  12. Where's twinsnorth? I want to hear a Canadian pronounce "Regina"
  13. I guess I would rather penile dysfunction than Rusty Kuntz
  14. This thread has penile dysfunction http://gifsec.com/wp-content/uploads/GIF/2014/09/Deflated-Elephant-Flaccid-Flop-Floppy-Funny-Limp-Loose-Slack-Soft-GIF.gif?gs=a
  15. Sorry for the derailment but hole crap Ian Kinsler... HoFer?
  16. Man, if I were a Royals fan, watching my team for the past month on the bubble of playoff contention, I'd be livid that Dillon f-ing Gee was taking starts every 5th day. This guy couldn't crack OUR rotation.
  17. Gee is garbage. We're gonna score tonight.
  18. Ha thanks for the reminder, I forgot about that year. What a crazy HR spike.
