    The NFL owners have voted. By a vote of 31-1, the Oakland Raiders are now going to be the Las Vegas Raiders.

    I use Playstation Vue and have nothing but good things to say about it. I'm surprised you were having difficulties with the DVR. Maybe it was just because it's a trial version? Anyway, with Playstation Vue you can record any and all sports events you want. Even as general as recording anything with the title "MLB Baseball" , "NFL Football" , etc. I've also had no issues with pausing things while you're recording. From my experience, the service works the best on a Playstation, but I've also tried it on Roku. I will say the look and user experience is the worst on Roku. My devices Apple TV and Roku are several years old, and that may play a factor in how well Vue works on it. But, I'm cheap and refuse to upgrade to the newer versions until the old versions break down.

    I don't think he's taken a "beating" by any means.... Can't speak for others, but I'm so very tired of the "Sea Food" diet jabs, the "he's not a leader because he's on his phone" line that I'm sure Souhan made a note about on his own phone. I think we just need to lock Sano in a room, feed him properly portioned food 2-3 times a day, and provide a soapbox to give Abraham Lincoln style speeches every day. Edit: Almost forgot, do not allow him to interact with fans. He needs to be a SERIOUS baseball player. No time for jokes at Hammond Field, no siree.

    I give Buxton credit last year for continuing to have some success while he was getting his swing and mechanics tweaked every week. Parker is better than me at addressing this, but Buxton would get sent down to AAA, get his leg kick back and start swinging for the fences. When he got called back up, the leg kick was gone within 3-4 games, and he was told to hit the ball on the ground. I place more blame on the coaching staff for not having an agreed upon plan for Buxton last year to develop his swing. Keep the leg kick, keep swinging for the fences, and they may have a #3 hitter on their hands for the next 4-5 years.

    Just finished reading "A Life in Parts" by Bryan Cranston over the weekend. He is a great story teller, and a very interesting background. Now on to reading the Seinfeld book.

    So now that we've gone through all of the teams, what's everyone's predictions for AL Central Standings at the end of the year? Mine would be: Cleveland 90+ wins Detroit 82-87 wins Kansas City 75-80 wins Chicago 70-75 wins Minnesota 90+ losses
  7. Vanimal46
    That's fair. I've heard descriptors for those guys before, and didn't look into it before typing.

    Robertson should be traded for sure. It's similar to the Twins situation with Perkins back in 2012... No reason to have a very good closer on a bad team. Quintana still has 3 years left on his contract and potentially still could be on the next good White Sox team. Unless someone gives them a godfather offer from the farm, I think he stays. If there's one thing we know about the Sox, it's that they let their prospects sink or swim at the MLB level. One thing I'm very jealous about as a Twins fan.
  9. Vanimal46
    The thing is, the White Sox didn't really do a "fire sale" per say. They still have All-Star 3B Todd Frazier, slugger 1B Jose Abreu, All-Star closer Dave Robertson, 2 young, good to very good pitchers in Quintana and Rodon. They sold 2 great assets and filled up the cupboards in the minors acquiring their top 4 org prospects this off-season. Their "fire sale" could still happen in July if they choose to sell off the names mentioned in the first paragraph. Until then, they could actually be decent.

    Honestly I was expecting they would be #28 or #29. 1 WAR projection for Berrios in 92 innings is good.
  11. Vanimal46
    Hard pass on Nathan.
  12. Vanimal46
    I'm of the belief that if they really wanted Berrios to start the season in Minnesota, they would put together a schedule like this. The "not stretched out enough" explanation for sending down Berrios does make sense, but it's also convenient. And frankly, Sanitago has to do mostly the same schedule you're talking about to get stretched out himself.

    drjim's original prediction sounds about right, other than swapping out Wimmers for Tonkin/waiver wire add. What an uninspiring group of names.
  14. Vanimal46
    Who exactly would take over 3B? I'll never understand the constant antagonizing of Sano... It's mind.boggling. to me.
  15. Vanimal46
    I would extend Sano and Buxton both with no hesitation. Ideally having options for their first 2-3 years of FA. No idea what the terms would be, but I'm guessing it would be more than what Tim Anderson got from the White Sox (6/25 + 2 option years that could make it $50 MM total) Jorge Polanco is a sneaky extension candidate that Brandon Warne brought up and I'd think about doing that too. No pitcher in this organization is on my radar for an extension yet.

    That's just the way the wind blows, Chi... What can I say, I'm an old soul! I think I found the one I want to date, but it's a waiting game at the moment...

    Believe it or not, Kearney was my stop for the night while I was driving back and forth between Austin and St Louis Park! Went to the Breakfast Cart and had the Eggcelent Sandwich before I was on my way.
  18. Vanimal46
    Didn't see any women that looked like 29 year olds near those guys.... And you already said you were in a different section!
  19. Vanimal46
    I'm guessing that none of the above is Chief... I don't see a walker anywhere in sight!
  20. Vanimal46
    .333 is All-Star level!

    I'm glad they are. If you have Spotify download the S&M album from Metallica. Or search for their songs when they played with the SFSO. It's a really great collaboration. The way they compliment eachother makes for a great concert to listen to. Wish I was a bit older at the time to attend!
  22. Vanimal46
    Chi had no issue last game!
  23. Vanimal46
    Hmm, not much to choose from. The woman next to the guy in the backwards Twins hat has nice hair!

    I wonder if that's how Hetfield got the inspiration to do a concert with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra? All that's missing from the video with Apocalyptica is a HEAVY guitar to mix in. EDIT: always watch videos until the end.
  25. Vanimal46
    There's not an attractive woman in that pic. I've got nothing. Guess we're just going to wing it.
