  1. The WBC is a way for fans to see international players who they would not otherwise see, but I can't take the competition seriously. The primary goal of the Major League players is to prepare for the regular seaslon. Even though some of them get excited about the WBC, I don't believe most of them are at peak performance in these games. This is not the World Cup of baseball.
  2. I would not only be cautious. I'd ignore anything from that site. The site is all lies and conspiracy theories. It used to pop up on my facebook feed all the time.
  3. I am not sure I understand your point. They were playing a balanced schedule like you guys say you want. should they have played fewer overall games? I have never heard any old timer say that modern baseball is better than old-time baseball. They all think their game was better.
  4. I think if they are going to have divisions, then the they should play teams within their division more often. If they aren't going to do that, then they should get rid of divisions. If a team isn't one of the top six teams in the league, they don't deserve to be in the playoffs anyway.
  5. It started with snowflake Then it was Trump Derangement Syndome. That is the their favorite and every time they say it they think it's clever and funny. Another favorite is orange man bad Now, it's go touch some grass?
  6. I am glad that the Republicans are starting to fear Seth Moulton. He could be an interesting future presidential candidate.
  7. They can make the team by showing real improvement in skills over past years. If they have good numbers, but they don't show pysical readiness, they won't make the team. Often times both will happen at the same time.
  8. Keith and Torres were on the roster last year too and they didn't use Keith at third until later in the year and even then he alternated between 3b and DH. He'll probably get the majority of at bats at 3B to start the season, but I wouldn't say he was rock solid at the position.
  9. Third base is not a position of need?
  10. It wasn't the stats. It was the chains!😀
  11. It's OK if you know what you are doing. For me, I dion't want it to become a habit. I am more comfortable being a Boglehead.
  12. The majority of fans like interleague play. That is why they have it. I don't care for having so mych of it, but they aren't marketing to me.
  13. He was better than Charlie Morton.
  14. I thought about investing in an energy etf about a week ago, but I decided against it. It would have driven me crazy. The buy and hold index funds plus lots of CDs has done well for me and keep me sane.
  15. FanGraphs gives Peck a hit tool of 30. His 125/41 K/BB ratio is not impressive. He supposedly has power potential.
  16. That was the easy part. Nobody is better than us at killing people and blowing stuff up. Nobody!
  17. Peck is getting a lot of attention this Spring. How good is he supposed to be? I had the impression that he was a future utility guy, but he is not someone to whom I have paid a great deal of attention.
  18. That's because you questioned whether he had made the team or not.
  19. There is no question that men are more dangerous than bears.
  20. Don't let Edman hear you say that.
  21. Is long relief a waste? It can be a valuable role if Hinch wants it to be.
  22. My belief is that he came into spring training with a very good chance of staying with the team. My guess all along has been that he will make the club if he is a better option, in terms of current ability and readiness, than anyone he replaces. I expect him to make the team.
  23. No they aren't robots, but the vast majority of fans don't know enough from a small sample in order to detect whether it's real or just noise. It's fun to guess though.
