  1. I'm not sure their opinion changed....but maybe it did. But plenty of sites have had him ranked as a likely RP all along....
  2. We're going to compare the AAF to a business that has never lost money, has record revenues year over year, and has suitors willing to pay up to a billion just to get in?
  3. I was mostly trying not to listen (and yes, laughing, and most of the talk was in Spanish......)
  4. My advice is to never be withing hearing distance of people installing anything in your house, especially granite counter tops.....I'd rather not know things, just get it done and make it look nice and last....
  5. I'm not buying what your selling. Portland investors are considering spending a billion buying a team. And other investors are looking to buy a team or an expansion team....... But, I'm sure the owners will keep saying they can't afford these rich contracts, which are growing at a slower rate than revenues, year after year.....
  6. I agree.....it's an interesting character (as most are, especially in the books).
  7. given that some have them favored for the division, I'd guess they aren't bad. In the last two years they've added a legit SP, Harper, Realmuto, and more.....
  8. I liked this, for it's cripticness....
  9. back from what? Players have always been underpaid compared to revenue growth....... And yes, Trout saw what happened to two of the best players ever, and how few teams were in on the bidding for some reason....he admitted as much.
  10. Twins are now over 40% likely to make the playoffs according to Fangraphs.......I'd like to see them strike early for pitching help........but I think that's more hope than plan at this point..... Is the game going to happen? Yesterday someone mentioned rain.....
  11. I have that same itch many days......I'm just not as sure as I'd like to be.
  12. This list is very encouraging compared to a few years ago. The miss on Jay (so far) and possibly Stewart really hurts.....
  13. Re-watching seasons 6 and 7.....wow, Jon Snow is stupid. I mean, I recalled that, but seriously. The Ringer's articles on loose ends, and in general, on GoT are great reading.....I especially enjoyed the recent one on our empathy toward not so great people in the show.....
  14. Hopefully for the players' sake, yes. But, unions are pretty much failing at their jobs right now, if they even still exist, most places.
  15. great post! Agree with all of it, but even if I didn't, it would still be a great, thoughtful, post.
  16. Thanks Seth (and future thanks to all the "reporters").....I love this part of the site. Go Lewin!
  17. Meaning the team has all the leverage, and is taking advantage of it. Which is their right, but let's be honest with ourselves about where all the power is in this unequal relationship.
  18. Looks like they are signing random camp body IOL now......
  19. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/when-we-say-70-percent-it-really-means-70-percent/ re: polls and projections overall.... It’s just not true, though, that there have been an especially large number of upsets in politics relative to polls or forecasts (or at least not relative to FiveThirtyEight’s forecasts). In fact, there have been fewer upsets than our forecasts expected.
  20. anyone want to bet if some naturopaths aren't doing this now? note: don't let some of my relatives see this post......
  21. They are supposed to be smarter than a bunch of random people on a fan site..... I too think things are working out well now. (IIRC, lots of us questioned him not catching in the first call up, LOTS).
  22. The truly sad part is that a huge number of people now think that's true.....
  23. Sure, I don't blame him one bit for wanting this.......As Keith Law said this week, if he had a son negotiating in this situation, he'd advise him to understand all the options, but to plan on signing.....
  24. mike sixel 2:23 CLE OF looks as bad as we thought.....how close is MN to them, do you think? Thanks Craig Edwards 2:25 I think Cleveland is still ahead by a bit, and we don't want to make too much of the early season, but in a close race, the two games the Twins have early help get things closer. I think there is still a disparity but one major injury to one of about half a dozen Cleveland players would make the division a tossup. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/craig-edwards-fangraphs-chat-4-4-19/
