    Well guys, I have a lot of activities planned this summer during Nolasco's starts!

    I think we can all clear up KLAW's confusion on Berrios, right? Service time. Nothing more, nothing less than that.
  3. Vanimal46
    Good times, guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUrHS_g4k6c

    Concur.

    I'm with Mike on the over. Some how they'll find a way to sneak over .500 before their lineup completely falls apart from old age.

    Yeah I agree, year-over-year sports games are rarely worth $60. Especially some franchises like Madden who have pretty much given up making significant improvements with their games. In regards to updated rosters, that has been the best improvement from games in the past. Thanks to the efforts of online communities, you can start franchises in MLB The Show with full minor league rosters and accurate contracts. Pretty cool IMO.

    For me I'd rather move on from the veterans and begin the transition to Berrios and Duffey ASAP.

    More recent examples of released higher contracts is Jarrod Saltalamacchia at $7.5 mill, or Chris Johnson at $7 mill. I would put it at <10% that Nolasco is released outright this season. Best case scenario - Nolasco pitches lights out, another team has a significant injury, and the Twins can trade him somewhere. Worst case scenario(s) - Nolasco pitches horribly, still has zero trade value, and becomes a burden on the team. OR Nolasco pitches lights out, the team falls back in love with him, and keeps him for the duration of the contract.

    Agreed. Dexter was infuriating at times with their sub plots.. Another one that comes to mind was LOST. That show went so far off the rails with their sub plots that by season 3 or 4 it was a completely different show.

    Is your RTTS guy a pitcher or in the field? Just started one last night... SP Rick Vaughn throwing nothing but heaters and a slurve.

    I was an Xbox 360 guy for about 8-9 years until the console got the red ring of death.. Then I switched it up to the PS4 specifically to play MLB the Show. The NHL franchise makes significant strides in their game play every year which I love. The only other sports franchise that does that IMO is FIFA. Rocket League is another great game. Just downloaded it on a whim one night and it's really fun to play!

    Numbers like Seth projected would certainly put him in the top 3 of MVP voting.. I think we'll see those numbers in the future, but probably not this year. I'm going to be curious who will hit behind Sano to keep the opposing pitchers honest. .267 BA / .830 OPS / 31 HR / 25+ IBB
  14. Vanimal46
    Those are the best modes in this series. I've never understood the fun in Diamond Dynasty or their other game modes.

    PC gamer? I used to be a PC gamer until the computer went downhill.. Bought a PS4 instead and haven't looked back. Other than the occasional sports game I enjoy role-playing type of games like Assassin's Creed and the like. I'm no longer in college with 8 hours of free time, so my Call of Duty skills have completely diminished.

    Strange. You must live in an area that's in the radius of all of those teams in order to get blacked out. I split the MLB.tv package with a Cubs and Dodgers fan down here in TX. Never had any issues with blackouts.. If we were Rangers or Astros fans it may be way different.
  17. Vanimal46
    Am I the only gamer on this site? MLB The Show 16 comes out today on PS4/PS3. I usually buy sports games every other year, and I'm hoping there's been enough improvements from The Show 14 that it's going to be worth the $60.

    Pictured: Live look at the bars in Minneapolis after the breaking news that Duffey lost his spot in the rotation to Nolasco.

    I'm going to pretend I didn't read this because this is just depressing for us Berrios Believers!
  20. Vanimal46
    Would this be the right time to slide Tonkin through waivers in the hopes that he doesn't get claimed? Considering other teams are settling in with their 25 man rosters and trades are rarely made during this time of year... I get it, he's had a couple of good outings lately. I'm still going to beat that drum that he's not going to be someone the Twins miss if he's let go.
  21. Vanimal46
    Well, congratulations Ricky Nolasco for making the rotation.
  22. Vanimal46
    Thoughts on last night's episode? Jimmy's fire me montage was great. I suppose that's the start of his colorful shirts that we saw on Breaking Bad? Also, I'm starting to believe that Chuck's story about Jimmy stealing $13-14k from his father was a lie.. Sure he stole a couple of bucks from the register, but they certainly made it seem like his dad contributed more to the lost funds...
  23. Vanimal46
    Hmm, that's good to know. In that case, I'll probably just stick with MLB.tv and Netflix/Hulu until the baseball season is over and reconsider Vue at a later date.
  24. Vanimal46
    As a cord-cutter and twenty-something myself, I completely agree. At least with my group of friends, it's out of the norm if someone actually does pay for cable.. I think the NFL is safe, because you can get your fill of games through over-the-air channels. If I miss a game on ESPN, oh well. Or if there's an important game, we go to the bar to watch it. As far as streaming apps go for the major sports, MLB.tv has made serious strides IMO over the last couple of years. I'd rank them #2 behind NHL GameCenter, who've nailed the streaming portion as long as I've paid for it.
  25. Vanimal46
    I've only seen commercials for it recently, but it's certainly something I'm interested in. I wonder since I live in TX if I would get Fox Sports South or whatever it is down here instead of Fox Sports North...
