    You know me, I'm a stickler. Make your point or be questioned. It's a game thread after all.

    I thought his specialty was allowing the runners on base when he comes in to score.
  3. Cap'n Piranha
    Wait, do you mean to tell me that there are players in this game who are from the island? Why hasn't this been brought up?
  4. Cap'n Piranha
    It makes no sense to me, a play is clearly made on a sacrifice--the defense has to do something, so a sacrifice should affect BABIP. A homer, unless its of the inside-the-park persuasion, should not count for BABIP, as there is no play to be made.
  5. Cap'n Piranha
    You have to protect the plate there. Just awful.
  6. Cap'n Piranha
    Here's a question--does a sacrifice affect BABIP? It has to, right?
  7. Cap'n Piranha
    Are you kidding? A walk-off steal of home would be epic. ESPECIALLY from Eddie Rosario! Turns out he's FROM Puerto Rico!
  8. Cap'n Piranha
    If the Indians offered to start the next hitter with a 1-0 count, should the Twins just rule LoMo as out without him even coming to the plate?
  9. Cap'n Piranha
    Eduardo Perez thinks modern players' inability to bunt is what leads to so many 12 or 13 inning games.
  10. Cap'n Piranha
    I vote no. You seem nice, so it would be a shame for you to have succumbed to alcohol poisoning in the pre-game.
  11. Cap'n Piranha
    Apparently Pressly was the last guy Molitor wanted to get work.
  12. Cap'n Piranha
    The Indians appear to have learned bunting by watching the Twins.
  13. Cap'n Piranha
    I can practically hear Dan Gladden complaining in the booth.
  14. Cap'n Piranha
    Lindor wanders over to the camera for no reason whatsoever.
  15. Cap'n Piranha
    FTFY.

    Rhett Bollinger says right knee injury. No word on severity.
  18. Cap'n Piranha
    The way he said it made it sound like Sano only plays there on getaway days or in case of injury, not that he's the team's primary hot sacker.
  19. Cap'n Piranha
    Hey, did you guys know Lindor hit a homerun last night? PLUS, he's actually from Puerto Rico!
  20. Cap'n Piranha
    Ravech just said Sano doesn't play 3rd base all the time.
  21. Cap'n Piranha
    Dozier seems to lack a sense of when to throw a ball, and when not to.
  22. Cap'n Piranha
    That's fair. Right now I am of the opinion that Falvine knows what they're doing, so I'm going to need evidence they're not good, as opposed to needing evidence that they are good.
  23. Cap'n Piranha
    Hunter Greene has a career 9.82 ERA and 1.91 WHIP--SSS to be sure, but he is struggling the same league Lewis is holding his own in. Mackenzie Gore looked great in the Rookie league last year, he looks like a good pick so far. Brendan McKay has an OPS over 1.000 right now, but in low A as a 22 year old. Kyle Wright is in AA, and has decent stats, he looks like a good pick so far. Lewis has over an .800 OPS as an 18 year old in low A, only about 70 points below what Correa did as 18 year old in the MW league. Yes it's early, but the Lewis pick looks great right now--if he's 90% of what Carlos Correa is, that's a spectacular pick.
  24. Cap'n Piranha
    To answer your questions, Earth, and yes.
  25. Cap'n Piranha
    Lewis was definitely not a consensus top pick, and not only does he look better than expected so far, the savings on signing him netted us Rooker and Enlow. They turned Ynoa into Littell. As for MLB players, it didn't make sense to add MLB players prior to last year, as the realistic window for the Twins was 65-75 wins--much better to evaluate what you already have in your system. This year when it made sense to add players, they added Reed, Rodney, Duke, Odorizzi, Lynn, and LoMo. Granted, Duke and LoMo are looking pretty bad so far, but the rest have been decent to great. There is absolutely no reason at this point to question whether Falvine are good at their jobs. I'm willing to agree that Falvine shouldn't be considered elite yet, but they clearly know what they're doing.
