  1. probably just me, but I liked it better when Twins starters had a collective 0.00 ERA.
  2. On a positive note, Hildenberger looked a little better than he has, IMO. I'm nervous about him, but that was encouraging.
  3. I think the implication that race plays a role in the criticism of a baseball player, for a baseball play, does nothing but help to wash away the very real problem of racism. When everything, and everyone is racist, nothing is. Or nothing can be done about it. We can be honest and critical of people who don't look like us without it being from racism.
  4. You know what's racist? Assuming people critical of not running out a popup do so because of the player's race. And I don't appreciate it.
  5. Carrot Top is not only alive and well, he's currently doing six shows a week (dark Tuesdays) at the Luxor in Vegas, with tickets starting at $49.95. I fear for our country.
  6. but wouldn't preclude someone from asking "where is the deck poop?"
  7. My opinion: The Andy Griffith Show is the peak of TV sitcoms. It really holds up well even today. Incredible writing, tremendous characters.
  8. True, but in those three season he still had a combined 1252 ABs, where teams didn't walk him. That's two "pitched to" for every "walk." And I would argue that while many of the walks he got were intentional, many were also "semi-intentional", and some outright "unintentional." I stand by my opinion teams do not "gladly" give up first base on any regular basis.

  10. Teams give up one base via an intentional walk occasionally, in rare situations. No team regularly gives up first base "gladly." Teams pitched to Barry Bonds, they pitch to Bryce Harper.
  11. well, it's really only the LH hitters we're talking about. And we know left handed people are a bit...different to start with.
  12. I have no doubt that players will need to swallow a little pride to bunt. It's not manly. It's too easy. It's what pitchers are asked to do, ferpetesakes.
  13. I respectfully disagree. It’s an airplane hanger, not a baseball stadium IMO. A nice hanger, to be sure, but a hanger.
  14. In the specific case of TF, they didn’t have the extra land necessary for a retractable roof.
  15. “Brian Dozier to the Dodgers” will be eligible for election to the Hall in a couple years and is a no-brainer IMO.
  16. Bleleven...25 complete games in 73. Times have changed.
  17. CONCUR! But doesn’t the Pohlad family still own a Pepsi distributorship?
