    I don’t know for sure about his diet, but I for sure have concerns about weight. In the end, the weight is what matters anyway.

    The post in question had zero to do with Clevelanf or Houston. It referenced the Twins and 5 other wild card contenders. And said post gave the Twins pockets 8s, which was the best hand pre flop, and ended up winning the pot, as the best hand preflop often does.

    Twins had the best hand preflop, best hand after the flop. Should have pushed all in!

    one major difference: baseball GMs get to change the cards they hold during the game. They get to add to, or subtract from the roster. I still don't think the Twins playoff chances changed significantly because of a rough series in LA. If they were adding before that, they shouldn't be subtracting after

    It's as simple as, a team doesn't go from in contention, to not in contention, in 6 days in the middle of the season.

    changing their minds, in less than a week, doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. At least to me.
  7. USAFChief
    The Twins belong on CCO. Good move.
  8. USAFChief
    Domo arigato.

    Well played, sir. Fitting the Post Of The Year appears in the MOY thread.

    That's the name the immediately came to my mind. He was as steady as a SS can be in 1991. Always made the play needed to be made, always in the right spot.

    I think 2017 had better have been the start of a good run, or there probably isn't a good run coming with the current crop.

    Unfortunately, while it's certainly the smallest of small sample sizes, I left Phoenix after the weekend thoroughly unimpressed with the Twins AFL contingent. None of them looked ready to contribute to the Twins any time soon, to me.

    Another rude fan laughed at the "you had ONE JOB" comment. Wait, that was me.
  14. USAFChief
    but not now?
  15. USAFChief
    What good does "extending the core" do if the core never has the pitching to win? That's not a "window of contention." That's a longer window of "not good enough."

    Concur. An apology is great, when i see it as genuine, but always goes farther with me if it comes before it’s in response to some external stimuli.
  17. USAFChief
    Glad to hear he’s out of the hospital. Not that a concussion is good, but having seen the collision, it could have been much worse. Get well soon, Mr Wade.

    It’s rather...illogical, since you claim to argue from logic...to state there can be varying levels of certainty in a debate, but then dismiss another’s claim because there’s “no evidence” for that position. And then spend paragraphs dismissing or refuting the very evidence you claim isn’t there. Illogical to claim you can’t use results to argue process, then spend paragraphs showing how trading Kintzler didn’t have any actual effect on results. Illogical to make claims about Otani and international FA money...which weren’t made at the time of the trade. And also haven’t proven to be worth a penny yet, BTW. The Twins were in contention for a postseason spot for EVERY single day of the 2017 season. Every. Single. Day. Including around the deadline. And speaking of which....Fangraphs’ playoff odds? As a logical argument point?? Really??? Those numbers are concocted out of thin air. They’re based on nothing. They are virtually meaningless. They are a guess, just like your guess, mine, and the guy you’re dismissing’s guess. They HAD NO business trading away pitching at the deadline. None. In fact, They should have added pitching. They were a contending team in need of pitching. Still are, BTW. That’s every bit as logical as your position...and my opinion (held at the time) is the one borne out by events. Not yours. To argue otherwise is, well, it’s illogical.

    Not that it matters, but Tonkin will be playing for the "Fighters," not the "Ham Fighters." The team is owned by Nippon Ham.
  20. USAFChief
    A good RH bat is a priority for the Twins this off-season, IMO. Santana would be a fantastic pickup. I could live with betting on Bautista too. There are no internal candidates likely to help, IMO.
  21. USAFChief
    Minimal experience? Kepler has 3000 professional PAs. Kepler will be 25 next year, BTW.
  22. USAFChief
    Why? Serious question. This is a common sentiment, but why? What’s the advantage? Teams carry four outfielders anyway, why not try to maximize production rather than keep trying to force a player to be good at something he’s not good at, and likely will never be as good at as a different player. You can’t platoon everywhere, or even at more than a couple positions any more, but you CAN get cheap, increased production that way. Let a RH hitter get most of Kepler’s PAs, and a few of Rosario’s, vs LH pitching. What’s the harm?
  23. USAFChief
    Concur. Virtually nobody actually even believes in the second amendment. At least not the second amendment the NRA and the gun nuts try to portray. Unless you think a citizen should be able to own working cannons, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-personnel land mines, you do, in fact, believe that the right of the people to bear arms SHALL be infringed. The only question is where to draw the line, because we already draw lines. Reframe the argument, and take this silly “second smendment” argument away. Start portraying the NRA for what they are. They’re an arms industry lobbyist, not a constitutional rights organization.
  24. USAFChief
    Have you been? Spent 6.5 years on the edge of a Tokyo. Fantastic place, and i wasn’t making quite that kind of money.
  25. USAFChief
    its doubtful anyone here follows the Fighters closely enough to answer that, but you just never know.
