  1. I think that some of the old guard is gone.....and some of them were funny.....reminds me of a Vikings' site I used to visit all the time. It got super serious on every thread, and lost it's way, imo. I only go at draft time now.
  2. "always take hitters early" and this....about a guy that would have been a top 5 pick a few years ago... Kyle 3:15 Can JJ SCHWARZ stick at C? Where will he be drafted? Eric A Longenhagen 3:15 No, he's someone's senior sign
  3. Tom 2:46 Is BYRON BUXTON a bust? Eric A Longenhagen 2:46 No, you're impatient https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eric-longenhagen-prospects-chat-may-fin/
  4. So, if I want to see your shoes, I should be a jerk? challenge accepted* *not
  5. GS 1:02 Thoughts on Twins prospect Kirloff? He's raking. Mid-season promotion or do you wait because it's his first season back? Keith Law 1:03 The argument for promoting him is that he's 20, and not young for low-A (not old, either). You might want to challenge him with high-A competition before the summer is out. Adam 1:11 Who wins a foot race between Buxton and Acuna??? Keith Law 1:11 Buxton is the fastest player in the majors.
  6. THE Average Sports Fan 12:13 Are we seeing the beginning of Joey Votto slowly becoming Joe Mauer? Jay Jaffe 12:16 As I noted earlier today, in the comments to my Anthony Rizzo piece (https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/anthony-rizzos-dramatic-turnaround/), since I wrote about Votto on April 20 (http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-reds-slump-has-extended-to-joey-vot...), he’s posted a 168 wRC+, three points ahead of last year, and he's up to 132 overall. I wouldn't worry too much about the performance aspect of it. As for the way the fan base has been conditioned to resent high-salaried players on teams that cry poor — something that we've seen all too much of in the case of Mauer — ugh. Those are the real losers, the ones who can't appreciate greatness even if the great player is stuck in a lousy situation. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jay-jaffe-fangraphs-chat-5-31-18/
  7. I don't think we'll after on this. Imo.... We are actually both correct here, I'm just more correct, imo
  8. I can't believe what I'm not seeing! I know some people like 2-1 games....
  9. I randomly clipped your post for space.... Great post.
  10. No idea.... It was a joke. Not a funny joke, but still....
  11. Great. Burned their challenge. Hope that doesn't haunt later during the come back... Not sure I can muster much more "humor" today....
  12. Teams could just pay for those later years..... We are all too owner friendly....
  13. And Brock was worried the game wouldn't be over early enough....
  14. Possible. We'll be eating during the middle innings. Grilling cod with homemade pesto, made with carrot greens and basil. Roasted veggies, maybe bread if we still have some.
  15. Apparently sometimes people are wrong! This would be one of those times, alas.
  16. Btw.... There is no such thing as concussion like symptoms, is there? Let's just be honest about athletes....
  17. Let's hope they let him fully heal this time....
