    Season 5 of The Americans debuts tomorrow night at 9:00 PM CT.... If you need to catch up, Amazon Prime Video has seasons 1-4 available to stream.

    I don't expect his stat line to be worse than last year... But I do expect him to have weeks of very poor play followed up by September 2016 type play. He should be in the .725-.750 OPS range this season, then progress to .800+ OPS in 2018 and beyond.

    I agree and expect Buxton to have a very up and down season if they give him 500+ PAs. They need to do that in order for him to progress towards stardom in 2018 and beyond. I still think this pitching staff has little upside and a ton of downside. This looks like maybe the worst starting rotation in baseball, and a bottom 3 bullpen.

    Not ready to write them off yet. There's been some that have tried writing them off for 5+ years, and they still find a way to be competitive. They'll finish 2nd in the division.

    Wow... And the average age on this team is creepin' on up.
  6. Vanimal46
    Wander Javier sure looks like he has chicken legs still from the batting practice video. Hope he learns the fine art of calf raises and squats! I like Trey Cabbage's swing. Nice, smooth, lefty swing.
  7. Vanimal46
    That's what I always thought. And because of that saying, a pitcher's velocity would be close to what it will be during the season.

    These are all great points that I did not think about when it comes to mobile games... One bad thing about not being technical! But you're right, I would not like a dumb-downed mobile version of these games. Sounds like we're limited to consoles in order for them to work the way they're intended to.

    Where in the hell is scottz?
  10. Vanimal46
    Rookie move, Blake.
  11. Vanimal46
    Haley's in the same age bracket as the other prospects... We're getting to that point where Burdi, Melotakis, Reed, Hildenberger are no longer spring chickens. Let's call them up and give them a chance.

    No doubt... Players who were considered the best in their respective sports almost never go into coaching or mentoring. There are things in the game that were so easy for them, it's hard to teach others how they did it. I'd much rather have a mentor who fought and clawed their way to the highest level, and continuously had to hone their craft to carve out a career.

    Cliches are cliches for a reason... The games count just as much in April as they do in September. So why give Hughes a spot in the rotation and see what happens when he is showing red flags right now?
  14. Vanimal46
    Or, Phil Hughes could fill the role of potentially expendable mop up guy and the Twins could get Berrios back in the picture.
  15. Vanimal46
    I don't blame the developers for not making the games. For example, Super Mario World. The tried and true way to make the game is for the screen to continue moving forward. Reacting to whatever is happening in the world they present. TUNNEL?! Maybe! Or a giant F'ing flame shooting flower jumps out of that tube... Would an open world concept of Super Mario Brothers work? Is it feasible to do in VR,PS4,Xbox One, mobile? Let's all hope they sell out and make first rate titles on easily accessible devices. Sigh, a mobile version of Mario Kart... DREAM IT!!
  16. Vanimal46
    Agreed. I would LOVE if Nintendo made a multi-platform version of their games... Hopefully that happens in the future so we can enjoy MLB The Show, Madden, and Mario Kart on the same system.
  17. Vanimal46
    Glad to hear it. It's certainly on my radar to buy. What games have you played so far?
  18. Vanimal46
    They never made advancements with their consoles, especially after Microsoft and Sony beefed up their consoles... I think the Switch is their last ditch effort to keep up with those companies. If this fails, then Nintendo can always fall back on selling the licenses of their games to mobile, or Xbox/Playstation. They would make literal Brinks trucks full of money if they did that.
  19. Vanimal46
    Anyone jumping on this? It looks like a lot of fun, especially the fact that you can take the tablet with you to game on the go. http://www.nintendo.com/switch/

    Man, if this guy plays plus defense at short, it's a serious toss-up what position he will play in the future.
  21. Vanimal46
    "Ed Smith Stadium’s radar gun showed that Hughes was sitting around 88-89 with his fastball/cutter combination. He touched 90 a couple of times. But Hughes wasn’t overly concerned over those figures." He should be. That's not going to work going forward.
  22. Vanimal46
    The draftee pool shouldn't be that much unless if Slick Rick trades back into the first round. Levi's budget sounds about right. $8-12 MM for a good to great T, $8-10 MM for a good to great G or C, $3-5 MM on a decent G or C. It'll be interesting to see what kind of money Rhodes gets. He's on the cusp of being considered a shut-down CB, I hope he doesn't expect shut-down CB money, otherwise that will get very expensive too in the $10-15 MM range.
  23. Vanimal46
    30 burpees a day is a lot for a mid-20's bordering on not in shape guys too.
  24. Vanimal46
    Just wait until the season 3 premiere of Whine Line... Our writers are making observations of all hot Twins takes!
  25. Vanimal46
    Phil Hughes made his 2nd start of the spring today. He pitched 2 innings, gave up 3 hits, 1 ER, 2 BB and a strikeout Twins are up 4-1 in the top of the 4th.
