  1. Cory Provus just mentioned Austin Jackson's career .295 average against the Twins like it was a good thing. Why are we stuck with a lead announcer who not only doesn't understand advanced metrics, but doesn't understand Chadwick metrics either?
  2. Not even close. Gibson could have tried to attack the umpire while Sano wandered into the stands in search of a snack. That would be worse.
  3. Does it annoy anyone else that within gameday the stats page still shows AB's, instead of PA's? It annoys me.
  4. Cory Provus is already beaten down by the Twins, as he declared Rollins is still a good player. I guess he really liked that .224/.285/.358 slash line last year. To be fair, that would be our 4th best hitter so far this year, so maybe he's on to something.
  5. Sounds like you need some better deep sea equipment.
  6. Is it bad that with two out and Suzuki batting, I just want to save time and concede the out so we can get to the next inning?
  7. 43.6% of the Twins outs this year have been strikeouts. If that pace continues, they will break the single-season k record for a team. By more than FIVE HUNDRED strikeouts.
  8. Can anyone watching the game let me know what the attendance is like? Listening on the radio it sounds EXTREMELY quiet.
  9. What is Jimmy Rollins still doing in MLB? And why are the White Sox giving him playing time?
  10. Finally! A party I can get behind! This off-shoot that admittedly lacks graphic creativity is good too! https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwigzY6Zl4fMAhVN2GMKHVZDAmMQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Frebrn.com%2Fre%2Fpeasants-219850%2F&bvm=bv.119028448,d.cGc&psig=AFQjCNGcJUYBRrGOAqmWUEbTCQjOU48rDQ&ust=1460484561223877
  11. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy!
  12. Agree. A 23 year old crushing High A is preferable to a 20 year old that gets demoted to E-Town after being awful in Low A. That being said, age does need to be taken into account in every situation.
  13. On point 2, did you mean team or franchise? Because I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the 2001 Mariners team that went 116-46 never lost 6 in a row.
  14. I assumed it has happened, but is it a 10-20 times a year type occurrence, or a 10-20 times a century? If closer to the latter, let's just stop being silly, and tell the pitcher to just throw the next pitch.
  15. If that continues, your dog will be morbidly obese by the end of the year, due to all the forced feedings the posters on these threads will demand.
  16. So Baltimore appealed as to whether Park left early. How many times in the history of appeals has an umpire ever determined a player did leave early? Can we just stop with this?
  17. Danny mentioned a couple innings back that he stole 10 bases in Korea. One assumes he meant just last year, but absent further data, it could mean his entire life. That was all just a long way for me to say I have no idea.
  18. Cory Provus going for understatement of the year, as he declares, "the shortstop position has been something of a revolving door the past few years".
  19. But I'm not the only one. Maybe someday you'll join us, And the world will live as one.
  20. After that HBP, Cory Provus mentioned that it was "thankfully not a fastball". If there's any physics professors out there, is there really that much difference in force between an 81 mph pitch, and a 95 mph pitch?
  21. I'd like 3. But then, I've always been a dreamer.
  22. I think it's ridiculous when people think the front office is incompetent and doesn't know what they're doing. But this sort of thing makes it hard to defend that position.
