  1. Sportsnet needs to cut these guys off in the 7th inning just like they do the fans in the stadium.
  2. Smoak is slow but he appears to have good fundamentals when rounding the bases. Good job to score there.
  3. Man the Twins have had a ton of miscues today.
  4. That's the dumbest thing he's said yet. Truly.
  5. Thanks so much for doing these John. Saves me so much time.
  6. Lance Lynn is horrible. It could be 10-0
  7. Eventually we will go back to a 4 man bench instead of 3. Donaldson will be back for Ngoepe. Then Ramirez will prob go back down for a bench player. Could be Pompey, probably more likely to be Travis.
  8. Yeah times like this are exactly why Gift is fine to have in the org. Quick callups where he can be the 25th man and do nothing more than sub in late in a game. Having him on the team when Travis and his mandatory days off were on the team was a disaster.
  9. We need to start this road trip off right. I'm not too worried about the Twins but that double header with the Indians followed by a trip to the Trop is worrisome.
  10. What's up with Donaldson? Any news on why he played a game at DH and then sat the next day?
  11. The problem that guys like Tercet have (and he's certainly not alone, this applies to anyone who seems so absolutely certain about anything) is that for every prospect and player, there is a range of outcomes that they refuse to account for. So take Teoscar, maybe entering the season he had a 5% chance of becoming an All-Star, a 30% chance of becoming a regular, a 40% chance of becoming a 4th OF, and then a 25% chance of flaming out and being minor league fodder. Perhaps someone like me would give him an increased chance of becoming a regular and a decreased chance of flaming out, but I'd definitely consider all ranges. But someone like Tercet probably would give him well over a 50% chance of flaming out. To further compound the problem they consider anything over a 50% chance of happening more in terms of a 90-10 split when it's really closer to 50-50 or 60-40. Nate Silver has discussed this phenomenon before. Not sure if this makes sense but I'll see if I can find Silver explaining it.
  12. Yeah he's got such a massive head start that something like a .700 OPS over the course of May should get him there.
  13. The Royals would take on Morales if he was available for the league minimum. We'd at least get to discount that from the remainder owed.
  14. Yeah that is true. The only thing worse than paying 20 million for 0 WAR is paying 20 million for negative WAR.
  15. Well I wouldn't be upset by that at all I just don't see them bailing on a contract before it's even halfway complete.
  16. What's with this power surge for Solarte? Not even May yet and he's nearly half way to his career high of 18.
  17. Wilner losing his mind about it on radio was it really that bad?
  18. Exactly. So he's whining about how terrible the offense is with the bases loaded while ignoring the flakiness of getting two outs with a batted ball like that.
  19. Too early to send him down. I'm not sold Gurriel or Diaz are any better and we've seen slow starts from Travis before. I guess they figure Donaldson will be back soon and the pen is taxed so they wanted to grab a fresh arm for a few days until Donaldson returns.
  20. YEah rotating the field would be cool. Would be cool to play with the dimensions of the field a little too.
  21. https://www.mlb.com/news/josh-donaldson-nears-rehab-assignment/c-273634684 Not sure if this was posted yet but looks like Donaldson is nearing a rehab assignment and Tulo has been cleared for baseball activities.
  22. He should just bench them. Grichuk is probably only 4th OF material anyway (though he does have some upside). Morales can be an overpaid bench bat. Hang on to Pompey for now and keep him in AAA. We can deal him at the deadline for something or next year we can try and clear some space for him.
