    See New Post. And thanks! for thinking of game threads.

    He sort of....threw us a curve with that statement, no? I'll see myself out.

    Balderdash. Take your win and (gracefully) rub her nose in it.
  4. USAFChief
    Overpay?? They stole Pressly.

    Don't mess with my Bacardi 151!!

    if you're playing a guy every day who cant hit, your problem is the guy who cant hit, not the DH. The guy who cant hit would be playing anyway...if you had a better alternative, he'd already be playing. And then the guy who cant hit would be your DH, which is what ends up happening too often when you just pick from your unused players to bat in the DH spot every day. Cruz costs them very little flexibility. He takes the place of an extra futility infielder.

    one of his hits above was on a breaking ball. And he took two for balls in the previous AB. It has always been an inability to square up fastballs in the zone that has been his primary weakness anyway, IMO.
  9. USAFChief
    I think I'd let his contract situation ride. Make a qualifying offer in 2020 if earned this year. I like what Gibson has done, but let someone else pay retail.
  10. USAFChief
    I'm always a skeptical old curmudgeon when it comes to prospects, but even I'm excited about him. He looks like a hitter.
  11. USAFChief
    Straight cash, homonym.
  12. USAFChief
    Concur. And not only is it a position, having a better one than the team you're playing gives you an advantage, just like having the better starting pitcher, or better right fielder. The advantage is limited to the offensive side, but nonetheless, it's an advantage.

    Not that it matters, but the hot dogs served at Target Field are Schweigert hot dogs. "Big Dogs," "Dome Dogs," "Foot longs" etc, are obviously different.
  14. USAFChief
    $1/hot dog?? A quick check of Schweigert hot dogs (at the Nicollet Mall Target) lists a package of 10 for $3.99. $.40/hot dog. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/1?hl=en&gl=us&output=search&lsf=seller:10046,store:511640365091534753,s:m&q=schweigert+hot+dogs&oq=schweigert+hot+dogs&prds=oid:13223681969682384282,pid:13223681969682384282&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjr28un7IHhAhWsxFkKHXeaD1IQ8gIIRg Presumably buying wholesale in bulk would cost even less. I don't think you'll find any regular hot dogs that weigh in a 1/4 pound, either, for that matter.
  15. USAFChief
    I'll say this much...I hope Buxton is as dogged in relentless singleminded pursuit of his agenda as you are.
  16. USAFChief
    Odorizzi post game interview.
  17. USAFChief
    Raisins? In brownies?? Are you TRYING to bring down the wrath of the gods on us???

    The difference is, while 10 PAs are certainly not predictive, nobody would argue those 10 PAs (whether the dude hit 1.000 or .000) weren't accurately measured. Those 10 PAs did happen, and we know, for certain, what the results were. We can use those 10 accurately measured PAs, in conjunction with another 10 and another 10, and so on, to accurately measure what happened, and perhaps form an educated opinion about what is likely to happen in the future. Defensive metrics aren't sold that way. Everyone admits small sample sizes do not necessarily represent what actually happened. But those same people then turn around and claim "more inaccurate data" will solve the accuracy issue. I don't think it does. I think adding 10 accurately measured PAs to another 990 of the same gives you an accurate picture of what happened. But adding 10 inaccurately measured defensive plays to 990 other inaccurately measured defensive plays doesn't.
  19. USAFChief
    unreliable small sample size, added to unreliable small sample size, is suddenly considered reliable, just because you now have more of the unreliable data. Doesn't compute, IMO.
  20. USAFChief
    I'm glad someone gets my rye sense of humor.

    It's a large hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, but that's not important right now.
