    So he could be wrong on the Twins in 2015? Did he present any evidence for "fortuitous sequencing?" Or is that just a convenient explanation which covers everything that Fangraphs can't explain, or doesn't follow their projections?
  2. USAFChief
    "6th best," I believe, which has become quite famous.
  3. USAFChief
    Y'know what assumes a lot? "Fortuitous sequencing."
  4. USAFChief
    pfft. what's his DRS?

    on radio, at work. I've taken off the headsets.

    Carlos Correa, with Lindor a close second.

    Dear Mr Molitor: A pitch-out once a month or so might go a long way to help your catcher out. XXOO Chief

    winner.

    Mostly what I see are people refusing to admit they might have been wrong, and Hunter has been one reason among several they are improved. In fact, I haven't seen one single post where anyone claimed Hunter was the difference.
  10. USAFChief
    This should be entertaining.
  11. USAFChief
    yes. What Ash said.

    For me it is also the May spot start fiasco. Totally foreseeable, totally avoidable,and totally self inflicted. And it affected multiple games. Players will blow games, it happens. I don't know how you avoid that. management blowing a week is not the same thing.

    Ain't it the truth.

    I didn't even know we had people on Mars!
  15. USAFChief
    They found water on Mars??!?

    Events have conspired to have the Twins playing important games the last week of the season. I'm sure I'll be disappointed if they miss the WC, but I certainly would have been happy if guaranteed that in April.

    Using "decline phase" to describe a player. "Cutter"

    "I’d counter that Harper is smart enough to know when he can run at less than full speed" We disagree on a fundamental truth about sports.
  19. USAFChief
    The "Red Eye Planet."
  20. USAFChief
    Well, I obviously disagree. You have no idea when/if a ball might drop, at which point you might be on second instead of first. It costs nothing to run hard. It's also been an ongoing issue for Harper, which everyone seems too willing to excuse, IMO.
  21. USAFChief
    I can separate the physical attack--for which I blame Papelbon--and what I believe is Harper's attitude that he is bigger than the game, for which I blame Harper. He's not bigger than the game. I expect hustle from the players I pay to watch, and I'd be surprised if many players were on Harper's side in this issue. Side note: I don't even know what "fake" hustle is. I do, however, recognize a lack of hustle when I see it. I also sometimes sense the tendency of some fans to make excuses for certain players because "he's really good at baseball." That's fine, but I don't share the same sentiments.
  22. USAFChief
    Setting aside the fact Papelbon is a jerk, I disagree that players shouldn't run out pop ups. One is bad for people around him, but has no lasting effect. One is bad for the game.
  23. USAFChief
    Harper was benched last year for hustle issues IIRC. I don't think it's unreasonable for teammates, managers and coaches, and fans to expect effort from players. Run the friggin thing out.
  24. USAFChief
    BOOO!!!!. We all have to pitch in and do what we can to get this thing done. Hitch up your pants, and....make that loosen up your pants, and dig in!
  25. USAFChief
    uh...yes?
