    Winner.

    I am watching Boston NY on my possibly illegally modified Firestick using some sort of oddly named streaming service possibly from eastern Europe or Rural Pakistan that I don't fully understand but which a buddy assures me is highly unlikely to ever land me in jail. Tech savvy, I'm that guy.

    Later is cool.

    Skynyrd's absolute best song, BTW.
  5. USAFChief
    Ish.
  6. USAFChief
    I remember Earth, Wind and Fire well, but can't recall Garver. Another 70's R&B band?
  7. USAFChief
    I believe "Enter Sandman" has been taken.
  8. USAFChief
    You should have written it down.

    The bullpen was 19th in preventing runs last year in the 2nd half. That's not above average. They don't line up teams after the season based on fWAR.

    You mean other than his career 107 ERA+, right? Other than that data.

    Mrs Chief tells me I've been getting forgetful. I don't know why she'd say that, when I think it's her who can't remember so well these days. Anywho, after arguing about it for months, we agreed to see a doctor. After an endless series of pokes and prods and tests and questions and on and on, he simply told us we should maybe start writing stuff down as a way to help. Well, wouldn't you know it, that very night, as we were watching Murder She Wrote, Mrs Chief asked me to get her some ice cream. Annoyed, but not wanting to cause a ruckus, I got up. As I was heading to the kitchen she called out, "with caramel sauce. You better write it down." "Don't be ridiculous," I said. "I'll remember." "And nuts on top. Write. It. Down!" Now REALLY perturbed, I yelled back "I'll remember! Geez oh peez." 20 minutes later I came back with her bacon and eggs, and Mrs Chief gave me "the look." All husbands know "the look." "What?" I asked. "I TOLD you to write it down," she muttered. "Where's the GD toast I asked for??!"

    I did not say "every season since 2018." As you clearly show with my actual quote, I said every season except 2020. And I stand by both my claims: 1)the original, which is Winder is extremely unlikely to provide the same performance in 2022 as Manaea, And 2) Manaea cannot be accurately described as "league average."
  13. USAFChief
    Yes.
  14. USAFChief
    Relax. RS writes satire. We all know TC is real.
  15. USAFChief
    Moving the goal posts again? It has zero to do with Ryan, Ober, or "#3." This started with a claim Winder would provide the same to the Twins in 2022 as Manaea. That's...questionable. Arguing that Manaea is league average not only missed the point, but is demonstrably false to boot.
  16. USAFChief
    EV-ry-BO-dy-CLAP-your-HANDS...CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP. CLAP CLAP!
  17. USAFChief
    They took the Ober? I'd have bet the Under.
  18. USAFChief
    Sometimes it also works like this: the Twins trade Dave Hollins to the Mariners for David Arias, who later becomes David Ortiz. He was...wait for it...a player...to be named later. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/on-this-date-20-years-ago-david-ortiz-was-a-player-to-be-named-later-in-a-trade/amp/
  19. USAFChief
    They're not going to have an opening day? Are they forfeiting?
  20. USAFChief
    I meant to type 160. Point remains. Again, you're completely misrepresenting what Manaea has been. 2020 skews his numbers. 107 is 7 percent above league average. That's not the definition of league average. All of which misses the point, which is that it most certainly IS difficult to accumulate such pitchers, and a Winder is most certainly NOT likely to provide anything similar in 2022. People are stumbling over themselves to praise Paddock, for example, and he's not been a "league average" pitcher.
  21. USAFChief
    1. It's actually pretty difficult to find pitchers capable of giving you 180 innings of league average pitching. There is almost zero chance of Winder, or any Twins prospect, giving you that in 2022. 2. It's a stretch to call Manaea league average anyway. He's been better than that every year since 2018 except the short season of 2020.
  22. USAFChief
    Manaea has over 700 MLB IP of sub-4 ERA but won't give you any more than Winder in 2022? The faith people have here in untested prospects is humorous.
  23. USAFChief
    Red Sox DFA'd Eduard Bazardo...I want him on the Twins just for the game thread jokes.
  24. USAFChief
    A great addition to TF.
  25. USAFChief
    I had the same thought.
