  1. Baseball in 4k seems like the best reason to get the peepers fixed, in my opinion! It's unreal! You wouldn't be sorry.
  2. Definitely. I usually watch sports muted anyway, so a crystal clear picture is perfectly fine with me! The crappy announcers don't phase me a bit!
  3. I recently had a 16 year old plasma die, so I had to replace it. The plasma still had a really nice picture, but it's night and day different with the new one. It's eye openingly awesome!
  4. The Guardians and Twins play each other 8 times in September. The division could very well be decided in those games. The Twins close out with 3 at Detroit and then 3 at Chicago. Both teams are very much in control of their own destiny here.
  5. I think Buxton has to be on top of this list. An effective Buxton is such a game changer for this team. Even at DH, the lineup is much better with him than without. I probably put Correa at 2 given his experience and leadership role with Arraez right behind him. Those three are catalysts for the club. I'm basically just as worried about the bats as I am the pitching going down the stretch. This team would likely be in much better position if the bats were more consistent and/or able to tack on some insurance runs late in games.
  6. I think I'd actually endorse him not making his next start. Give him a bit of a rest and hopefully they can ride him down the remainder of the season.
  7. I believe that is correct. Which only shows how little sense this all makes. Wouldn't it be mutually beneficial to include local broadcast rights? Blackouts are a separate issue, but I keep going back to the fact that MLB keeps making it harder to consume their product in a time when the fan base is eroding.
  8. No, I don't consider Hulu to be cheap either. Which is why paying another $20/month is even more ridiculous. Netflix can be had for half the price of BSN+. The idea of cord cutting was to save some cash. If you keep subscribing to all of these different apps, it adds up. Obviously, the apps allow for flexibility to be able to pick and choose which is great. One has to stop at some point though. There's only so much TV a person can watch. And I've found other ways to follow that don't cost me anything. Less than ideal, but considerably cheaper.
  9. I know. I know we've had this discussion before and you do make valid points. I'm still paying for it from when it was dropped from Hulu since that subscription didn't go down. I can't imagine I'm the only one in that boat. And really, I'd only be watching it for games. That's a lot of money each month for a lack of other interesting content. Plus, I have no interest in the Wolves, so if the Twins aren't on it then it's really not worth it. Obviously, there will be plenty of people that will subscribe. I just see it as another way for professional sports to make it harder and more expensive to consume their product.
  10. Nope. Not for $20/month for just the local RSNs and basically only games. Even worse without the Twins. Honestly not sure how professional sports think this is tenable. They just keep pricing people out.
  11. I don't think the players are blameless, but I agree that it's largely on the ownership side. Especially when they won't open their books enough to actually analyze how much cash is actually being made.
  12. This seems far too logical. And MUCH to logical for MLB to adopt it.

    75 RBI or 75 RBIs?

    RBIs seems redundant to me.

    Big hitter, the Llama. Rob Deer wasn't bad either.
  15. Given the injury history of all of the starters, plus the current usage of them, coupled with the fact that even before the injury bug really bit the rotation, they were already scrambling at times to fill a starting slot. That's not going to be fixed in one offseason. Realistically anyway. And as the last two seasons should have taught all of us, you can NEVER have too much depth. And even if everything played out perfectly and you can't get everyone enough innings, that allows you to trade from that depth to acquire something else of need. There simply isn't a thing called "too many starting pitchers".
  16. Not according to anything he's ever offered me!
  17. He's one of those unsung players that good teams need. He can play adequately at multiple positions and not be a liability at the plate. He's not going to win awards, but bit players like him are important. After everything that he went through on his journey to the Show, I'm happy to see him doing well. I don't know how long it'll last, but I'll enjoy it for as long as it does.
  18. Never would have guessed that they'd do that to dogs, so that's pretty cool!
