    Just texted a good friend of mine who was close to being the mayor of St Louis Park, and asked if he was happy he wasn't mayor right now....

    Ugh.

    Our healthcare system should cover anyone here. Just like other countries. Where it is cheaper and there are better outcomes. This isn't hard. We have decades of proof that socialized medicine is the best medicine. Decades.

    Good thing these guys weren't around in Brown vs Board of Education, and other cases. Gerrymandering is 100% about reducing voting rights. Which I guess this court has been working on for some time....

    Big Joe Mufferaw 1:57 Clint Frazier, Domingo German (2 MLB ready, good players under 5+ years on control) for Scherzer? Is that a good trade scenario? AvatarJay Jaffe 1:57 Max isn't going anywhere.

    IsIt2020Yet? 1:12 What other teams besides the Dodgers figure to try and make a back of the bullpen move? Twins, Rays, missing anyone? AvatarJay Jaffe 1:12 Every. Single. Contender. Needs. Bullpen. Help. Because. You. Can. Never. Have. Too. Much. Pitching. Ryan 1:29 The Twins haven't lost 3 games in a row yet this season. Since 1900, only the 1902 Pirates managed to avoid a 3 game losing streak all season. What do you think the chances are the Twins manage to go the entire season without a three game losing streak? AvatarJay Jaffe 1:31 Wow, that's cool, but I highly doubt they get through the season with no 3-game losing streak. They're plenty good but it also takes a lot of luck to avoid such a thing, and when you consider that they've only given four starts to pitchers out of their front five, you can imagine, say, a DL stint weakening the rotation and making such a streak possible in a given week. Homers 1:51 Do the (almost) healthy Yankees catch the Twins in homers by EOS? AvatarJay Jaffe 1:51 I think so and said as much in today's piece. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/jay-jaffe-fangraphs-chat-6-27-19/

    It's certainly ok to go against the odds sometimes, but that's not the argument I'm arguing against......you can't do that all the time, and you have to know the book.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'd hardly call that "considerably".......since we don't know how many chances they had, for example. But, let's go with 720 PA in the "per 162" thing...... That's a 1% difference in hitting into a DP......
  9. Mike Sixel
    I find this interesting.....given how some of the other OFers are hitting....... Does this mean it is short term, and it's all about the 40 man spot?
  10. Mike Sixel
    agreed, that's where I'd prefer he get them......I didn't make that clear.

    Brandon 12:55 Chances the mets sell syndergaard or Degrom at the deadline? AvatarJay Jaffe 12:55 LOL no. 12:59 Look, they signed deGrom long term, with full no-trade protection. He's not going anywhere — you have to imagine that before he did so, he played out the various scenarios in his mind, including something on the order of a ****show like this, and decided he's still better off in Queens than elsewhere — and I have a very hard time imagining they're selling low on Syndergaard with two years of club control remaining. And it's very clear that they're not a dreadful team in need of a rebuild. I'd start with a new manager — I'd have fired Callaway long ago — and see where it goes from there. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/jay-jaffe-fangraphs-chat-6-27-19/

    Brian 12:28 Do you think Will Smith will bring back a big return for the Giants? AvatarJay Jaffe 12:29 Eh, not really. He may be the most desirable reliever on the market, or at least the most desirable lefty, but he's also a pending free agent. They're not going to get a Francis Mejia-level prospect. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/jay-jaffe-fangraphs-chat-6-27-19/

    PD 12:24 Is a team slugging percentage of .501 good? AvatarJay Jaffe 12:25 heh, it (the Twins' current SLG) would break the record held by the 2003 Red Sox (.491). Yet another silly number from a silly season, offensively.
  14. Mike Sixel
    He was sketchy, so get him more reps, imo.......OTOH, I do think he has a real shot at being the 2B next year......so maybe it doesn't matter.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Concur

    Man, people hate math. If you are running a business, you make decisions based on process and numbers. The numbers are pretty clear, it is better to not bunt there. That's without realizing Schoop has good power.... And isn't a bunter! This aversion to process doesn't surprise me though.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Good luck and congratulations!

    Both fangraphs and baseball America are saying that they aren't doing much ranking here anymore.... Since many players are signed when they are fourteen.... Once players have deals in place, they only work out with their new team. Scouts haven't even watched most of these guys in two years. Also, as BA pointed out, bodies and ability are really in flux at this age. They mention the Twins first pick this year as a guy that want even really in anyone's serious radar a year or two ago....
  19. Mike Sixel
    They win like crazy, and no one goes to the games. Not sure what they should do.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I got no idea what the best answer is, but I don't blame this administration for people dying on the way here.........and that's not an easy thing for me to type. How we treat them when they are here? Well......that's a different thread.
  21. Mike Sixel
    why is a rebuilding team trading for him then?
  22. Mike Sixel
    given Badoo's status, not even a conversation starter....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't get this Sano thing at all, but it seems consistent with the board's feelings..... He's still young, still with great potential. And, he's a MLB player. I'd not deal him w/o getting a great pitcher in return (as part of a package). No way I deal him for a rental and a RP.
  24. Mike Sixel
    also that, sure.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Because those teams are more likely to pay up than other teams. SF doesn't care about hoops, they care about the return.
