    This is it -- just come back when the game starts.

    Thanks Ted. I appreciate the work that went into this report. You made it easy to get the highlights and you packaged them well.
  3. glunn
    Another great writeup.

    I don't disagree, but would note that Buxton has shown flashes of a very high ceiling, and some established major leaguers (like Lynn) have also played poorly for long stretches. I would think that lots of teams would be willing to trade a lot for Buxton.

    Good win. Good recap.
  6. glunn
    Rest in peace Frank.

    I was at the game on Thursday night and the Angels' third baseman was playing him deep. Any decent bunt towards third base would have been an easy single. Instead Buxton flailed and failed.

    Another great intro by RB. I threw out my back last night, but with the aid of muscle relaxers I hope to be at the game tonight.

    Great article. I wonder what Slegers' ceiling might be.

    If we could spread them out then world peace would be possible.

    Extra great setup by RB tonight.

    I am not a Trump fan. On the other hand, I think that the fact that he acts like a crazy person might work to our advantage here. Sometimes a rational player will yield to a crazy player when the game is "chicken." I think that this might also work with North Korea. I also believe that China needs to stop stealing our IP. I have read that this is costing our country as much as $600 BILLION per year. That would be enough to make a big dent in the trade deficit. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/15/opinion/china-us-intellectual-property-trump.html

    Arguably China will be rational and try to work out a compromise that reduces our trade deficit. If that happens, I expect a big run up.

    Great article.
  18. glunn
    That was the best game summary that I have ever seen, Obviously this took a lot of work, and the result was excellent.
  19. glunn
    Great article. This could be the year.

    You left out the part where Mauer leaves behind five magic eggs that hatch into clones of Killebrew, Oliva, Puckett, Kaat and Johan Santana who are immediately signed to 100 year contracts and who never age. The clones lead the team to 100 straight World Series victories. On a more serious note, these predictions suggest lots of upside for lots of players. I hope that most of them come true. I also look forward to the predictions of TD members.

    Moderator note -- there is a lot of good discussion in this thread, but also some bickering. Let's debate the issues without making it personal.

    Moderator note -- the discussions regarding drug legalization and racism are being deleted from this thread. I would encourage a separate thread in the "Other Baseball" forum or the Sports Bar.

    This seems sensible to me. Has anyone proposed it?
  24. glunn
    I am not a stat expert, and would like to know more. Is there some stat for runs saved? If so, does it take into account how well a first baseman can stretch and catch bad throws? For example, when Mauer snags a horrible throw out of the dirt, is that included in some stat? And if an infielder has confidence in Mauer, will the infielder experience less stress and make better throws? Do the stats measure this in some manner? I believe that stats are relevant, but wonder if they tell the whole story. I would invite the stat experts to opine, preferably in as simple terms as possible.
  25. glunn
    That makes me like him, and I will like him more if he saves lots of games.
