    But on topic, it was nice to see a jubilant Joe Mauer!
  2. TheLeviathan
    Of course! When it's an accident, then I totally understand. Otherwise, don't see the point.
  3. TheLeviathan
    Well that's sort of the point. Their thinking is absurdly stupid. You tried to assert it was some sort of clear delineation along lines of spontaneity vs intent. It's not that at all. It's more like as soon as the game is final exuberant displays of emotion that would otherwise be construed as deliberate attempts to show people up are ignored. That's the real truth. I'm happy for Mauer and, as a fan, his joy is awesome to watch. As I find clutch playoff grand slam celebrations awesome to watch too. I'm just not arbitrarily picking and choosing.

    I loved Joe's walkoff and I love the emotion of it BTW. But in doing so I'm staying entirely consistent. If you get pissy at Bautista but love this you're being a hypocrite or short sighted or a homer. But you aren't being consistent.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Guys spontaneously show emotion and passion all the time and get drilled for it. Hell, guys do things accidently (like slides and HBP) and people get drilled for it. Suggesting the difference is intent vs spontaneity is absurd.
  6. TheLeviathan
    For reasons no rational brain can figure out.....walk-offs are allowed to be a mosh pit of exuberance. But only this. http://thestagnantfilipino.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Stupidity-And-Beyond.jpg

    I like how exit velocity could become a really cool measure to study. But I'm with Chief, perhaps we should be a little more cautious in how we talk about it. We are just starting to use the data and see it, it's far from anything to draw sweeping conclusions from.
  8. TheLeviathan
    How's that Donaldson vs. Plouffe thing stand? Don't worry, Hicks will find himself again.

    I liked the first episode and the tone and the weirdness to it are pretty cool. That said, I'm kind of over the gratuitously obnoxious blood balloon type of "action". Twice in that episode it delved into that and i'm really not a fan. Realistic violence I'm ok with and even for two hours (ala Sin City) I can deal with it. But every episode of a show? That might grate on me.

    DVR'd it last night, looking forward to it after Saul tonight. Neil Gaiman is a pretty weirdly awesome dude. Sandman is worth a look too.
  11. TheLeviathan
    So....you're saying we shouldn't see any ridiculous articles about his weight then? Good for Sano, people really had to look hard to find ways to ding this kid. He's always struck me as being a far more determined player than he's given credit for. And I freaking love his personality - punish the baseball and have fun!
  12. TheLeviathan
    If I'm Sano, I want to see that this is a place worth staying before I ink that. In a year we could just as easily be looking at a mini-rebuild again as we could competing.
  13. TheLeviathan
    I'm really not surprised that steady playing time and work at one position has made these guys better fielders. It really shouldn't surprise anyone. What's surprising is how long it took to get here.....
  14. TheLeviathan
    This post is mean.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Really looking forward to it.

    Plus, this is the same manager that debuted him in the third spot to start the year. If Buxton shows he doesn't need to be pinch-hit for, I'm betting it stops in a hurry.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Oh, I'm sure a lot of the crew here would appreciate that. Share them here, that's far too rich to keep a secret!
  18. TheLeviathan
    Country Kitchen coupons ya think?
  19. TheLeviathan
    Gibson is a problem for this year. Buxton's struggles threaten the entire foundation of what we thought we were building.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Well, I suppose that depends on how close to "league average" he is. If he's above or below, how many teams are in the races, injuries, and so many other things are factors. But I think he'll have significant value.
  21. TheLeviathan
    I disagree that reliever depth and starter depth are the same or that one will affect the other. Breslow, so far as I can see, should have no bearing on that.
  22. TheLeviathan
    I referenced starting depth, how does losing Breslow change that? What scenario do you see impacting that?
  23. TheLeviathan
    I guess I'm not sure how cutting Breslow (for example) changes this?
  24. TheLeviathan
    Right, our depth right now has to look something like this: Duffey Berrios ....... Haley? Tepesch? That could get real ugly, real fast.
  25. TheLeviathan
    That's a fair point, I guess it comes down to how effective that changeup can be.
