  1. I agree with this whole post
  2. Yikes. Good luck to him.
  3. Talk about straw men.... Where did anyone say it is only luck? You said you don't like the word luck, that it's just that we don't understand everything. Or did I read that wrong?
  4. So you think players control where a hit ball goes with enough precision that there isn't luck? We'll never agree on that. Life is filled with luck. Filled with it. It's why randomness is so valuable in process analysis and nearly all fields of business and sports.
  5. This board can't even see patience from where it is most days.
  6. Horrible human that I never want to root for.
  7. Really, really, need CC and Polanco to hit like they can. That would be huge.
  8. This one about Dalvin?
  9. you've made your point......Cook is going to be cut. No one is trading for him.
  10. I admit to being very pleasantly surprised by Enlow and Severino (who I loved when they first got).....very exciting that they are doing well this year.
  11. Vikings thread....no one here wants to read about the Bears.
  12. Check this out: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/explaining-win-values-part-three/
  13. Lee number 15 and Lewis 57 on fangraphs.... Among others.... Still laughing at the post on another thread saying Lee's not good....
  14. Guess I didn't RC
  15. He was a CF before coming here, IIRC.....
  16. Certainly would be better for the fans mentally, unless the new guy is worse......then we'll get to read how idiotic the FO is, despite having the best pitching in MLB....
  17. I don't believe it is hubris at all. You have inside information on this? Because they've let other guys go....
  18. They added a great starter, to lessen the need. How many RPs would you have cut from the team before the year, and realistically signed? Which ones (w/o looking at their current stats)? Because signing three RPs that are GREAT seems unrealistically optimistic to me, but I could be wrong.
  19. Lee isn't a minus fielder, btw. Miranda is, clearly.....as is Julien. I'm talking long term, but even short term....they need a CF that can hit, not just field and run. Short and long term.....
  20. Twins pen is league median....not great, but not a disaster. Some people seem to expect the FO to build the best team at every position, which seems unrealistic to me. YMMV, of course. Overall they have the best pitching staff in the game, which, sure, you can still complain if you want. That's your right, of course.
  21. Twins are league median in RP....and number 1 in starting. I get you can fix everything, theoretically, but I think we lose sight of progress sometimes.....Overall, they are the second best pitching team in MLB right now .....so, yes, a better bullpen would be great! But the anger at the FO is over the top for me (YMMV, of course).
  22. Same. I'm too old to be afraid at this point.
  23. All fair. I can't see how planting and throwing is safer, but I can't find any studies about IF vs OF injuries....though they must exist.
  24. He was finally fully healthy last year, and was pretty good. 100% a MLB player. He was just coming around, as you say, and now this. It's hard not to feel for the young man.
