    Ish

    Nice work Nick!
  3. USAFChief
    In any case Dave, give us a report on the game. Sounds like a hoot.
  4. USAFChief
    Private message you?
  5. USAFChief
    Nice work, Seth!

    A decent MLB player for a number of years, who got every ounce of production from his talent. Not many people in this world can say either of those things. Good for him.
  7. USAFChief
    You have that backwards.
  8. USAFChief
    You admit to having FRENCH LANGUAGE debates, and yet come on here and mock our political process and politicians??
  9. USAFChief
    I would say, "no."
  10. USAFChief
    It would be pretty cool, IMO, if the Twins were to approach 200 team HRs. Chiefs dig the long ball.
  11. USAFChief
    Now we've gone from Nick hoping for 200 to you predicting 376. People need to be realistic, ferpetesakes.
  12. USAFChief
    I think that slash line is reasonable for Park, but 170 HR seems a bit optimistic.
  13. USAFChief
    We'll see. My personal bet is, if the Twins are hanging around contention by July, they'll be looking for relief help on the trade market.

    Who were the Twins relievers who should have been up and contributing in 2015? Meyer, maybe, after Sep 1st. But veteren relievers didn't stand in the way of that. Berrios, late in the year, although you'll get resistance from many here based on 40 man and/or innings limit theory. Other than that, NONE of them were both healthy and performing at a level that earned them a chance at a 40 man spot and a 25 man spot. Personally, before I put the 2016 season in the hands of pitchers who weren't ready to help in 2015, I let them perform at a level that at least reasonably demonstrates they can be successful immediately, or soon, after call up. And again, personally, I'd be pleasantly surprised if as many as two of them earn a promotion in 2016, so adding a proven veteran performer or two wouldn't be very likely to stand in anyone's way. If they do, that'd be a lot better problem than depending on them and finding out you don't have enough talent, rather than dealing with too much.

    By then it's 2017, you've wasted another year, and blown through half a dozen 40 man spots to find out you need to sign bullpen help for the coming year. It doesn't work that way, Nick. Players need to be made to force their way onto the 25 man, it shouldn't be a tryout camp.
  16. USAFChief
    "Yes." The answer you were looking for was "yes."
  17. USAFChief
    Ok, I'm slow...can someone explain the light switch thing to me? Just an example of him not being able to color within the lines, or what?
  18. USAFChief
    The two hour drive thing was for real. Each way. Just so you know. Willmar. Check a map.
  19. USAFChief
    Didnt stop Reagan from a second term.
  20. USAFChief
    He did say the vision thing is only occasional. If true, that might be a reason for resting him when those specific symptoms occur.
  21. USAFChief
    Yes. In all seriousness, I would guess that pizza is in the eye of the beholder...That said, i am possibly biased due to favorable memories of youth, but Mrs Chief and I do not take a trip to Minnesota without inventing a reason to have pizza at Jakes, even if involves a 2 hr drive.
  22. USAFChief
    Fair points.
  23. USAFChief
    From: USAFChief Since moving to Tucson, I've had one foot in a freezer during winter months, and the other foot in a bucket of boiling oil during the summer months. On average, I should have been very comfortable year round.
  24. USAFChief
    Did Twins management put the Twins in a decent position to win the ALC and get into the post season? And if healthy going into said post season, a reasonable shot at a WS? If no, then the winter was a bust, IMO. That's the object. All talk about "overpriced" is pretty much beside the point. The objective isn't to save money. Cars are overpriced, but not buying one doesn't mean I save money getting to work, it means I don't get to work at all. "d-" or "d+" or "c"... The specific grade isn't the point. The point is...pretty poor job of improving the team's chances, IMO.

    Atlantis in Reno looks like the first casino to offer 2016 O/U's. They have the Twins at 77.5. We'll all get the opportunity to prove how smart we are in the 3rd annual TD O/U contest, coming soon. Look for it in the "other baseball" forum.
