    I have reservations about whether a baseball lifer who's about to be 60 years old can develop on the job... He probably shouldn't be in good graces with the fans with the coaching errors he's made. The bigger fish to fry IMO is the FO. We're a couple years overdue on letting TR go.

    Tim Duncan calls her a career after 19 brilliant seasons in the NBA. Will the other PF legend KG follow suit? It's weird we're still unaware whether or not he's coming back, right?
  3. Vanimal46
    There's a lot of optimistic momentum going into the AS break... And for people like me who want TR gone after this season, I'm starting to get worried that it won't happen. For the Pohlad's, I'm afraid if the Twins sniff a winning percentage between 40-50% in the 2nd half, they'll justify retaining TR & the gang.

    Rookies, I tell ya. Don't people know you choose ONE number, then battle to the death that your prediction is right, and everyone else is wrong?* *Other than the people that also chose your win total.

    I went 32 wins mainly because I'm anticipating one or multiple veteran players traded in July/August. The lineup and bullpen are working well right now. But we've seen over the last 4-5 years when a bullpen is overused they start blowing games. The rotation has not been good enough to prevent an overworked bullpen.

    In the spirit of keeping this thread positive, any day where Sano is at 3B is a great day. I hope to see 65-70 more great days the rest of the season.

    Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Today is National Rainier Cherry Day! This should be right in Mike's wheelhouse as these cherries are grown in the Pacific NW. I should have looked ahead as I bought cherries yesterday at the grocery store.... Just not Rainier Cherries. Today is also National Blueberry Muffin Day! It's not often that I have muffins these days, but if I do, blueberry is the best available option, IMO. Today is also National Mojito Day! I celebrated this one day too early... A mojito was very refreshing yesterday during Sunday funday at the bar. Finally. today is National All American Pet Photo Day! So keep your camera within reaching distance, and take a bunch of pictures of your pets today!

    If there's one positive in this game - Hamels doesn't look like he's going to make it 5 innings tonight.
  9. Vanimal46
    Ugh... attempting to bunt in the 2nd inning
  10. Vanimal46
    This is the correct response to D Santana in CF.
  11. Vanimal46
    That did not look good for Buxton.... great.
  12. Vanimal46
    Of course, and welcome back always!

    I can't imagine we're going to have warm and fuzzy answers being Minnesota sports fans....

    To piggy back off of ben's post yesterday, what was your first crystal clear sports memory?
  15. Vanimal46
    His post-demotion slash line IMO is acceptable for his first full season in the majors. For 2017, I'd love to see a slash line between his his post-demotion and the last 2 weeks... .240-260 BA, .725 ish OPS. Then I hope he's settled into the #2 or #3 spot in the lineup, and starts his run of .275-300 BA, .800+ OPS seasons in 2018 and beyond!

    Pittsburgh Pirates promote 23 year old switch-hitting 1B Josh Bell, who will make his MLB debut tonight. He was having a monster season in AAA, hitting .324/.407/.535 with 13 homers, 19 doubles and four triples in 359 plate appearances.
  17. Vanimal46
    It doesn't apply to the driver. The way the girlfriend in the video explained things, Philando did everything the right way to make it known he had a firearm with a license-to-carry permit. That burden presumption of innocence all falls on law enforcement.
  18. Vanimal46
    Yes, the presumption of innocence has to be put back on law enforcement's shoulder. Based off of the information we have about the MN shooting, there's no reason why that should have happened. Of course more information will be presented over the next couple of days/weeks...
  19. Vanimal46
    Wish I could type out articulately how I'm feeling about these acts of violence. But I can't... It's infuriating, and depressing. We need to start getting back to our country's founding principles of presumption of innocence. I wish I was more qualified to propose ways we can accomplish that.
  20. Vanimal46
    That right there is why I have mixed feelings going into the 2nd half. The fan in me wants to see more wins and improvement. But I also want changes in the FO, and like you, I'm afraid if we do see significant improvements from the .350 win percentage the team currently has, we won't see the changes most of us are asking for.

    I was 5 when the OJ verdict and OKC bombing occurred... can't remember it well. Princess Diana was a big deal, but it didn't really affect me as a 7 year old. Columbine shooting is a little fuzzy... But the news story that I remember vividly is 9/11. Sixth grade at the time. We all congregated in one classroom where the teachers wheeled in a TV to watch the news. My teacher Miss Haggerty was trying to explain the situation to us, and couldn't hold back the tears. That was a terrible day.
  22. Vanimal46
    Those are mind blowing numbers. Something I never take into consideration when I spend $60 for a game at Target.
  23. Vanimal46
    Well, can you blame Max? This is what he saw on Tinder.....
  24. Vanimal46
    All good points. Video games are a tricky business. They need to make games more difficult to appeal to the hard core gamers of the world, but once they're too hard, it loses the casual gamers. I know for me I was out from the Call of Duty franchise for good once I was out of college and couldn't play for hours on end. It'll be interesting to see who comes out on top from this 3-4 company race to be the market leader of VR.
  25. Vanimal46
    I should be in the target demographic for VR... Mid-20's, grew up with video games, still love them today when I have the time, and disposable income. None the less, I have zero.... ZERO interest in virtual reality gaming. And don't know anyone that is interested....
