  1. I've always favored the number x, but it took a while to figure out what it was!
  2. I think he should be just below TC Bear on the Power Rankings list....
  3. Guilty Pleasure: Britney Spears.... She has so many jams!!
  4. Wish I would have taken a screen shot last night because it's back to normal this morning. Instead of the red banner on top showing Articles, Forums, Blogs, etc. there was just one button on the right hand side of the screen. Turned out to be a drop down menu showing notifications, forums, articles, etc.
  5. I like it. Very similar feel to the desktop version of the site.
  6. Disturbed - Sound of Silence Is fantastic.
  7. Wasn't this the band you wanted me to see in Austin while they were touring?
  8. I mean, as I said in the original post, the offense is legit. Whether it's led by Sano, Dozier, Kepler, or Polanco, I like it. This team can not survive with 4 starting pitchers as they trek on 50 games in 50 days or whatever the schedule says. The bullpen problem could absolutely be solved internally since there are 75,000 bullpen arms waiting for their chance. The rotation can not be solved internally. They need outside help for depth...
  9. I'd be a bigger believer if they made some moves to help out the rotation.... The offense is legit. The pitching is not legit.
  10. Gather 'Round and Enjoy the Beauty of the Jose Berrios' Curveball
  11. At the very least, wear some GD name tags so we know who they are!
  12. At the very least minor trades need to be made to shore up the rest of the rotation... Ideally I'd like to aim high and find a person who could be at the top of the rotation with some years of control. If it takes a prospect or 2 + someone on the MLB team I'm alright with that.
  13. I too thought Mad Men was good... That is my biggest issue with GOT, and why I can't get into it. They make zero attempt to introduce character names and the plot. It was utter confusion for me every time a new person showed up on screen.
  14. He used to early on... Then they called him on his cell phone, and he knew when that hotline bling, he would sell out to the pop crowd.
  15. In regards to Kendrick Lamar, the bar is pretty low to be known as the best rapper alive. It's either him or Drake, and Drake is too poppy. I feel like I'm 27 going on 47 when I hear the names of rap artists today... These are real rapper names: - Lil Uzi Vert - Lil Yachty - Lil Pump - Fetty Wap uh wut?
  16. Mr. T 2:14 At one point can we determine that the Byron Buxton experiment at the major league level has failed and he needs to go back to the minors to work on plate discipline? All-Star Break? End of the season? Now? Dan Szymborski 2:14 At some point, he's going to have to learn to work through offensive slumps in the majors
  17. Potential being the key word here. I'd take 4 years of Archer over 6 years of "potential to be" Archer.
  18. Yeah I'm with you... He's looking more and more like a 4th OF/platoon bat.
  19. He got a little snarky.... Eric 1:14 Re: Sano. A guy with 2.7 WAR in 41 games so far is worth 4 wins in a season. Got it. Dave Cameron 1:14 Yes, because projections work by taking a player's line through the first 50 games and extrapolating. Did you know Alex Avila is the best hitting catcher ever?
  20. This seems criminally low. The Future 12:33 Miguel Sano has had quite an interesting season so far. How good do you think he can be long-term? Dave Cameron 12:34 I think he's probably a +4 win player in his peak. Not a lot of defense or baserunning value, but the bat is legit.
  21. If you haven't caught on, Dave Cameron is not a believer in the Twins yet. JD15 12:11 What do you expect a team like the Twins to do at the deadline? Yesterday you mentioned the D-back possibly regretting not dealing Greinke while he is pitching like his contract suggests. Seems similar to Ervin Santana situation. Dave Cameron 12:11 Well, Ervin's contract is significantly smaller, so there's less downside to keeping him. But yeah, I think the Twins will fade enough to move him this summer.
  22. Erik 12:04 The Twins' playoff odds have inched up to 15%, which is still quite low for a team playing so well that has some legitimate young talent. Would you take the over on that 15%, or does that number feel right to you? Dave Cameron 12:04 If anything, I'd take the under. 12:05 Sano is a really good hitter. Buxton can play center field really well. But this isn't a playoff team unless they get really, really lucky.
  23. Understandable... I'm having tunnel vision right now trying to figure out ways to acquire pitching since the offense is ready to compete, Sano's putting up MVP numbers, and the position players are healthy.
  24. Kepler is easy to like that's for sure. But you still wouldn't consider it if he would help acquire someone like Gerritt Cole? Like jham said, Grossman/Granite could be a functional platoon... If they traded Polanco for example, that would create a black hole at SS that's not easy to replace. Rosario being the feature piece in a trade wouldn't bring back high end talent. Dozier has been discussed from every angle last off-season. I'm not sure who else they could dangle to get the help they need at the top of the rotation.
  25. I agree with this. Losing Kepler would hurt, but he'd be the best trade piece to acquire high end pitching without creating a black hole in the lineup and the field.
