  1. The author is suggesting other people stop doing something they enjoy because he doesn't like it. Seems reasonable to disagree with that stance, doesn't it?
  2. Ah, got it. Thanks. Not calling up berrios just tells us they care more about 2022 than this year. I guess fans should too?
  3. Why is that the limit on berrios? No Kepler? He is on the 40 man.
  4. get over yourself. It hurts no one. Judging other people for how they have fun? That is a good thing?
  5. A run per game? That would make him the best player in the league.....
  6. Nope.
  7. Vanimal.....how's the game¿ Sorry, I was golfing, then went to a couple breweries, then my neighbors threw a house warming, then I had to do laundry, since there is an open house here tomorrow.....so, how is the game? From the other comments, it seems boring.....
  8. The list of great athletes that aren't great professionals in sports is really long. At some point, it is about production. He clearly was not ready this year. The issue was how long it took them to decide that.
  9. This is terrible logic. If you drive drunk and don't kill anyone, that does not make it a good decision.
  10. 15 qualified hitters have a BABIP over 350 this year.....none over 389....so, ya, not gonna sustain .400 I don't think. BABIP already excludes HRs, btw........ http://www.fangraphs.com/library/offense/babip/
  11. I suggest you check out the logical fallacies thread in MLB Baseball....because, no, this is not the logical conclusion to what Brock is suggesting at all.
  12. Roku has a native app.....has recent episodes, not all of them, for all shows.
  13. Ha, what I meant to type was that Berrios is better than the margin, and should be up here
  14. And I gave my two examples of what I'd do to improve the margins (I'm not sure Berrios is on the margin, but I'm willing to say it for now).
  15. Amen. If people would get over the hyperbole of "worst", and, you know, talk about the roster construction, that would be great......some of you did that. While I understand the need to worry about timing and contracts and whatnot.......I don't agree at all that Berrios should be down for that reason. I don't think they should have Vargas down, with no PH on the bench. Other than that, not sure what I'd change at this point......
  16. A big change was spending big money on the bullpen (ahem) to go from one of the worst to one of the best in 1 year. Their GM deserves a ton of credit.
  17. No cable, no DVR..... Was able to look toward the band and a tv at the same time.....
  18. 45 PH attempts, for a .111 average! My eyes are bleeding* *not really, don't worry, I'm fine
  19. He has a 168 wRC+ (fancy stat about runs you produce).....if you look at the leaderboard on Fangraphs, that would be the 4th highest this year. Yes, he is likely to regress, as it isn't likely that he'll be the 4th best hitter in the majors next year. But, I'd guess that drops to like top 25 or so, not like Santana dropped. Sano has hit at every level, that should continue given his strength.
  20. Maybe one of the lesser starters could be in the pen, and not May....since most pitchers get slightly better as RP...... I agree with chief, a bullpen is important. It is why I hated what Ryan did this offseason with the bullpen so much. Trying to get by on the cheap, or with a guy that wasn't good last year......It is why I hated they didn't find a way to either cut Graham, use him as a real RP, or succeed in trading for him. Tyler Jay won't be in the pen next year, they'll spend 2-3 years making him a starter, and we've already seen that outside of May, they seem to not want to make starters into RP (odd to me....). They need to figure out how to coach RP in the minors.....
  21. The fact that Chris Herrmann is the best option there (which I don't agree with, but whatever), is a bad, bad thing that is on the GM. They need an actual bench, not 25 pitchers. that said, sure looks like Buxton isn't even close to the same class as the other super rookies that came up this year.......not worried long term, but short term, a bit....
  22. I need some social advice, seems like a reasonable place to get it....... I am going to a bar tonight to watch friends play in bands, and yet, the Twins will likely be on the tv there. How do I watch the Twins game w/o being a jerk?
  23. My grand plan to increase hits at nationaldaycalendar is almost reaching a peak!* *actually, I have no interest in that......just in case people can't tell my sarcasm from non-sarcasm....
  24. With both Plouffe and Mauer at 1B, good luck to TB in getting any ground balls through that side.
