    well, I think the point is that Gray might have pitched to a lower ERA if he had MN's defense..... but if I know the ERA before hand, of course you pick teh ERA leader. But, this whole thing started with someone saying Gray didn't help the Yankees win, I believe.....I presume to say it didn't matter the Twins didn't trade for him or anyone else that could have helped....but I could be wrong about that. Not sure why someone would make that contention about Gray.

    No, but like Chi, I haven't visited from my phone much lately either.

    my mistake. Was talking about orville, you were talking about discovery! That's what happens with quick phone skimming. sorry. I'll see discovery at some later date. maybe.

    Ya, that was terrible. I didn't watch....but my son texted me a bit. sounds like everything that could go wrong did, and to top it off, they lost cook for the year probably. Now Spileman may get to keep his job just because they lost their QB and RB and they have an excuse for this level of play....

    It's harder to get on an airplane than to buy a gun that can shoot hundreds of bullets a minute (give or take).....

    Fourth was pretty good too. Not perfect by any means, but most shows take a long time to hit their stride.
  7. Mike Sixel
    wow. *posted over from the, you know, first thread.....

    Tom Price has resigned. Wonder if we'll get much of the money back....
  9. Mike Sixel
    wow!

    horpe: What’s Lewis Thorpe’s upside if he can stay healthy? Keith Law: Mid-rotation starter. Maybe more, but he has to show some durability first German: How should the Twins approach the wild card game? On paper, they look overmatched, but as we know, baseball is weird. Keith Law: If they do anything novel, it should be handling the pitching staff like there’s an extended fire drill. Start Berrios, because he’s your best starter, but have all hands on deck, and if you need seven pitchers to keep the game close, you do it. Forget the traditional model – starter goes 5-6, setup guy in 8th, closer in 9th – and just get outs. They will be overmatched, but they have at least design enough for the luck to help them. Chris: Are the Twins a good reason to change the wild card format or a good reason to keep it as is? Keith Law: I don’t like the expanded WC, but MLB likes it – owners like it, and everyone likes the extra money – so I doubt it’s going anywhere. My opinion is that it just devalues the regular season a little bit more http://meadowparty.com/blog/

    uh. hmm.

    got it. I think we've all beaten this horse, and I prefer this thread to be about links, not long discussions. so I'll stop now.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I like lots of stuff I don't agree with. I've made that clear on many occasions.
  14. Mike Sixel
    No, he asked if a team that doesn't win as much in the regular season winning the playoffs is good or bad for the sport. Nothing about models. I just re-read it, where does he talk about models at all?
  15. Mike Sixel
    wealthy?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Ya, he never said that. Neither did Travis. And, the KBO disagrees with you. As does European Soccer. It's not about models at all, it's actually about actual wins and losses mattering more. The exact opposite of models, even.
  17. Mike Sixel
    And staying in the WC race for the 2nd spot is worth keeping a 7th-8th inning RP over? That's kind of the point.....Kintzler isn't the delta between the Twins and being legit. He was a FA. They got a player and 500K in international money for him. That should buy a decent prospect or three, in addition to the player they got.
  18. Mike Sixel
    seriously? hahahahaha.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not sure what happened to Trout and Upton....Twins caught a break there for sure. OTOH, I think the Twins did grab it and run with it (though that could be narrative playing in my head)....

    https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2017/9/29/16382116/vikings-offense-stefon-diggs-dalvin-cook-adam-thielen Lots of highlights too!

    Yes

    Weird it comes 1 day after National Drink a Beer day (I know some of you didn't know, so I had 2 to make up for it.....)
  23. Mike Sixel
    Really, at that point you would have bet money at less than 1:1 odds that they'd make the playoffs? And, you'd have made that bet in July, when the Twins had to make a decision also?
  24. Mike Sixel
    mostly because the Right has found a way to make it about kneeling, and we have capitulated on that front too much. And, in case you aren't aware, the vast majority of whites thought freedom riders and cafe sitters were using the wrong method, and it was about the method too much, and not about the message. This is, literally, history repeating itself.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Weird how the Twins, in what, 20 years, have never once had the players to trade for a legit pitcher. Weird how other teams do find a way.
