  1. Same as here, but at least you get to read lots of posts by porn sites....
  2. Concur.
  3. I hope they don't wait until September, if he's even close to this good for next two months.
  4. well, that's not impressive.....and would be worse than humans.
  5. the saunter to third should be embarrassing for the team. Awful. Shifts? Whatever.....if a team thinks they work, they should try it. Though, I get why some don't like it, meh, let them play how they want to play. Frankly? I'd consider having 4 OF more than teams do. Not many ground balls are hit. I'd certainly do it against all or nothing HR swingers. If they try to hit it on the ground, great!
  6. Good golly there are a lot of typos in that post, which, ugh. If anyone was thinking about hiring me to do their website or copy writing (two things I'm going to start doing to make money), they won't be doing so after reading that!
  7. If the error bar is 1 inch, it will be worse than humans.....I'd be shocked if it was that bad.
  8. I did say that, but it wasn't really the point.......but sure, I can see how I should have just left that off, but I kept typing, and then left it in there. Oh well, I should really learn to keep things to one point at a time.....
  9. we'll see those too! And, imo, defense that is average.
  10. .300? That seems arbitrary, esp since who cares? I want doubles and HRs and walks......from Sano.
  11. sounds like a perfect opportunity for piggy backing starts with their best pitching prospects.....
  12. I'm currently working on a database that I MIGHT turn into a job search app. As some of you may know, I was laid off some time ago, and I: wrote a novel took a vacations started to look for a job, but found I wasn't ready to work for someone else again. decided to launch a website to help laid off people bought a house, got distracted from writing..... And now, the site has been live so far this year, but isn't gaining much traction. I have not done any advertising at all, or networking, as I am still light on content for reasons (some in my control, like getting distracted, some not). Anyway..... I cam across a free to use database, and started playing around with it. Now I have the start of an app to help you organize your job search.....which is where you come in. What would you want in an app that helped you organize your job search? Most of my friends keep track of things in a spreadsheet, but this would be, well, better..... What I have so far: the ability to track your skills, job experience, education and certifications, interviews, jobs you are interested in, people you have met (or want to meet), interview questions with sample answers (and a way to store your answer), and a few other things I haven't put in yet, but will..... All of that can be tied together, so you can see what people you know at Amazon, what jobs you are interested in at Amazon, and what interviews you've had at Amazon. If anyone wants to offer their thoughts, here or in PM or email works....... btw, here is the site so far: https://www.laidoffbetteroff.com/ I will be changing the home page in the coming weeks, it isn't my favorite yet.....
  13. I never said otherwise, but there is money, which was my only point. Which I didn't make clear?
  14. this made me laugh! thanks for that.......though probably not your intent..... I'd bet we agree a bit more on immigration than other things..... As evidence for my earlier post that we could pay for this if we wanted, over 600MM dollars has been donated by a few billionaires to fix Notre Dame. I don't begrudge them that choice, but it is interesting how much they'll give to fix a building, compared to helping people. Again, to be clear, it's great they are doing this, just interesting.... edit: that might be 300MM, I can't recall right now.....but that's not the point.
  15. I was planning to come into the thread with dad jokes, since Chief wasn't on much last night..... but when I searched for dad jokes online, all I got were jokes about other things............ I must have searched wrong.
  16. fair.....but the fact demonstrably bad umpires work that post season.....well, I don't like that one bit. There is no actual accountability for getting better when that happens.
  17. to your point though, the odds of that are not even calculable they are so low......so it's a bad question. Just as your stance is, imo, that if he's one of the 50 best pitchers ever it was a bad deal...... The Twins need RP badly. Last year and this year count, in terms of judging the trade. If you believe in Buxton and Berrios and Gibson, then making deals that hurt 2019 are not good ideas, especially if you don't fix the hole you create going into 2019 in any way. I would be a lot more ok with the trade if the team did anything to improve the RP for this year, going into this year.......but apparently there were no good FA RPs available, and none in all of baseball worth trading for.
  18. that wasn't what you quoted......of course not, but that wasn't what you quoted.
  19. Replays are not the same as real time ball/strike calls.....red herring...... I want the calls to be as correct as we can make them. I'm betting that is with technology....just like in tennis. I want the players actions to be the thing, not bad umpiring to be the thing. No one on this thread is stating that robo calls will be perfect, another distraction. The question is, for me, will it be more correct? Yes, yes it will. I watch to see what players do, nothing turned me off the game more than the Braves pitchers back in teh day getting calls that no other pitchers got.
  20. I'll be shocked if he isn't in MN at some point next year, and not surprised if he's in MN this year. Assuming health, of course.
  21. They talk extensions around minute 26..... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/fangraphs-audio-kiley-mcdaniel-welcomes-the-night-king/ I skipped the draft/prospect talk, and haven't gotten to GoT talk yet....
  22. There is more to the post: Notes After two semi-wild starts during which his stuff was still too good for opposing hitters to do anything with, Graterol was slightly more efficient and utterly dominant last night. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/daily-prospect-notes-4-17-19/
  23. Pretty sure you are both exaggerating at this point....
  24. I wish odorrizi had and era .05 higher, so it was equal to the start time. Actually, I wish it was a lot lower, but I'm trying to be realistic here... Great intro!
