    to whit, you could have been right about the economic downturn but wrong about which markets the economic downturn impacted.
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    Microsoft really doubled own! Holy crap!
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’m medically required to eat... food
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    That would explain it!
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    they let me bring in an 8x8x12 cooler with food last year. Water bottles had to be sealed. No soda. We brought in chips and sandwiches for the 4 of us (wife and two young kids) and a bag of peanuts. And you have to bring your own food/drinks to the backfields... Correction 16x16x8 single compartment soft sided cooler is allowed. Water, milk, (sealed) and “medically necessary food” are allowed. https://www.mlb.com/twins/spring-training/ballpark/information-guide

    I could reminisce about Student night/dollar dog nights... the good ol days when the bus, tickets, dogs and one beer each for two people was less than $20.
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    agreed, it felt like the timeline needed two seasons but they weren’t getting renewed.

    stock market downturn or economic downturn?The stock market is not the economy, and for a lot of people, you may not have missed the economic downturn. about 8 weeks ago Kai Ryssdal of Marketplace was asking the big economic minds if the Coronavirus could be the global boom economy’s Black Swan. They couldn’t answer him then, and still couldn’t answer him last week. I’m of the opinion that out metrics of what a “good economy” is, may be out of date. Inflation for instance, largely ignores healthcare spending and groceries, which are the two largest areas of consumer spend in the US. All this to say, i don’t think there is a clear answer at this point. We don’t know how or agree on how to measure...
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    fair enough, his time at 2b last year may have been out of necessity. Arraez really came out of nowhere last year. Let’s see how he gets positioned this year.
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    Blankenhorn has played quite a bit of 3B and a few games at SS too. He seems to be not far from an actual look as a utility player this September.
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    what a terrible shame
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    I don’t trust you, it’s probably shoes
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    it’s a good book, nice charts, sketches of mechanics. Sure, full of anecdotes, but stats too. The tools only matter as much as how you use them. I’m sure there’s some application to understand how, where and with what force your feet hit the ground. Mechanics are everything to a hitter.
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Friday was not the bottom, and it will be a slow recovery in China as inbound container ships at the port of LA are down 25% through April. 2020 is going to be a rough year, but I’m still riding it out. For most of my assets it’s not a loss until I sell.
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Fantastic Axel! My wife killed my Bull Dozier shirt.... I need to find me some Twins Zubaz! Man those were great!
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    wow! I feel for him to be so close and have the wheels come off in spectacular fashion. Hopefully he can get healthy in Cincy. Man am I happy the Twins dodged that bullet!
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    Yup, but this correction has been coming for some time now. Hopefully you’ve got time on your side to weather the storm.
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    I read it the same way. My strategy in this scenario would be to try to have more relievers get 4-6 outs and try to avoid starting a clean inning.
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    Marwin does, why can’t Arraez? At this point Marwin is my 4th OF. If Buck gets injured Marwin remains my 4th OF and Cave comes up to play RF, moving Kepler to CF.
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    Wikipedia agrees https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_writing_system
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    now it’s Yadier
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    I liked the Marwin signing, and I’m not saying he should be cut. I’m all for letting things play out this year. However, Marwin has a career 101 WRC+, Adrianza career 84 WRC+ and Cave (since Marwin’s best defensive positions are LF and 3B) sports a career 111 WRC+. Now looking at last year Marwin 93, Ehire 102, Cave 113. I’m with you on Astudillo, but to me, Astudillo isn’t really in the equation. Looking to 2021 I agree with Jorgen, it’ll be the arrival of Lewis, Blankenhorn, Kirilloff or Larnach that forces the issue on Marwin.
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    this. Ehire is a very comparable player with the bat, is a better fielder and should come in at approximately half the price on the free agent market.
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    In that scenario, Polanco 2b, Lewis SS, Arraez utility.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    I disagree. you can never have too many SS! Leave Lewis at SS until he proves he can’t play it.
