Awesome.

Perkins reads Fangraphs too, I wonder what he thinks of this.

Clearly every improvement Perkins has made between being sent down and being called back up as a relief pitcher,

he’s learned despite the Twins pitching staff’s attempts to teach him ‘other’ things.

Clearly the reason he has succeeded is because he is “mostly ignoring the coaches”

I don't know, but I've been told it's hard to run with the weight of gold,
'the other hand, I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the weight of lead.

Clearly?

Why is that? I don’t question your conclusion, I merely ask for your data.

I think he's being sarcastic

Because lately there have been so many people saying Smith/Gardy/coaching staff suck, but not being able to explain why they think that

sorry for the confusion.
