    Feel bad for the wasted year. But also can't feel too bad for a team that had a glaring weakness (pitching) and while they made a defensible decision not to resign Burnes, they also failed to build a proper pitching staff after his departure.

    Oofda, Royce so bad he got fans asking for a wOBA under .100!
  3. NYCTK
    One of the further reasons that ERA is a pretty useless stat, particularly for relievers. Bad defense in the later innings, not a good recipe for success!
  4. NYCTK
    No. But one of those slides that makes the catch a bit less awkward than catching it at your shins.

    Hear the head pops off.

    Gimmicks have to be earned and organic. This ****** helmet looks like it was just bought off Amazon, which is exactly the case. Shelf it, and let a homerun gimmick come to you,

    Yankees just lost their 3B, and they weren't deep there to begin with...

    Idk. Best we can do is compare him to, I believe, the greatest defensive CF in the previous generation, Andruw Jones. I don't think it's controversial to say Jones should be in the HOF, but he's hardly top of the CF class. Even so, I guess you can make the argument that Buxton lines up, talent wise, with the future HOF Jones. Both exceptional fielders with 111 wRC+. As for this desire to fans to vouch for the character of a man they do not know, it always makes me super uncomfortable. They are an entertainer and you enjoyed the entertainment they provided and the manner in which they did carried themselves while they did so. All valid. But Twins fans twice celebrated long-time CF that turned out to be pretty different than their public personas. I, for one, will not make it thrice.

    2022 All Star I wish him well. He's never been able to be Him because of his health and because his propensity to strikeout in big spots has resulted in him being anti-clutch. But he's still young enough to still have some truly memorable moments that define his career. Fingers crossed for him.
  10. NYCTK
    I openly mocked him being ranked #5 on the prospect list. People will ignore results and just point at age for the level.
  11. NYCTK
    I'm serving up crow all season long baby.
  12. NYCTK
    You wanna pay him 5 yr/70M? Two years of arb plus 3 year FA? That's probably about what it takes.

    Did Mason Miller die?
  14. NYCTK
    Yeah, even if you want to claim he's more like 40th best SP, which I think bean could more agree to, calling him top 30 isn't the most unreasonable claim. Seems perfectly in bounds. It's not like anyone's claimed the Twins have 3 #1s. Or at least in this thread. Feel like I have read exactly that from big homers here before. Allow me to throw some support to the Top 30 claim. Projections for the Rest of Season by fWAR: zips: 20th steamer: 17th oopsy: 33rd atc: 21st Now, these projection systems largely look at the same data with a similar method so it's not surprising that he'd be looked at favorably in all of them. But I think calling him Top 30 is perfectly reasonable.

    The next time you are feeling lazy and want to use AI I just hope you remember how hilariously bad it failed you this time, how inept it made you look, and how you were laughed at by all.
  16. NYCTK
    So you think the Orioles should be sellers, and the trade you propose they take is to take on salary, trade away a hitter under control next season, and settle for a mediocre prospect.
  17. NYCTK
    People freak out about a national writer writing think pieces about trade proposals because they deem them unfair, and then will propose really bad trades like this. Why in the hell would Baltimore make this trade?
  18. NYCTK
    Not really. There were 11 RP all stars last season. 5 were among the leaders, another 4 were good closers, and 2 were just really good RP.
  19. NYCTK
    He clearly isn't healthy and shouldn't be on the team right now.
  20. NYCTK
    I can watch the Twins only once I'm done watching the Cardinals wrap up their business.
  21. NYCTK
    Been saying that. I'd have traded him away this offseason for that reason. Best case scenario appears to be Joey Gallo, who lots of people refuse to admit was good but was always extremely frustrating.
  22. NYCTK
    The president just pointed to a clear Photoshop and refused to admit it wasn't true. This is different in substance and scope obviously, but it's the same problem. Foolish people unable to discern reality. And it's a big ****ing problem.
  23. NYCTK
    You used it for something very basic and when told you were wrong you doubled down and called it The Truth. This world, and especially the US, is living in a post truth world thanks to the type of laziness and lack of curiosity you displayed. **** AI. It's a trash tool for the least intellectual of society. Make amends, admit you were wrong both in substance and to use the tool as truth in the first place.
  24. NYCTK
    Bader can hit 230/280/370 the rest of the season and his signing is still a massive success.
  25. NYCTK
    Not to be too harsh, but we should 100% mock and ridicule the use of AI tools for this sort of thing. You wanna use it to draft up stupid work emails? Fine. But for any actual research or creative endeavor? Seriously, you need to be better than that.
