I’m glad to see Ex-Twins in 2020 thread is back up and running. This is also one of my favorite threads over the last 5 years.

 

The Twins have never been undefeated this late into the calendar year (July 25, 2020).

The 1894 NL Boston Beaneaters scored 1220 runs, a Major League record. They finished 8 games behind the Baltimore Orioles with an 83-49 record good for 3rd place in the NL. The Twins are averaging 9 runs per game after their first three, they would need to do a little better to catch the Beaneaters 9.24 runs per game. The Twins will need to score 555 runs in 60 games to claim that honor.

21..That is the number of consecutive games in August against 3 teams; Pirates, Royals and Brewers.

Jim Brosnan needs to write a new book if he is still alive. Title; "The Short Season".

But seriously, that's absolutely absurd to go 12 games and have 6 relievers that essentially haven't given up a run. Tyler Clippard has only allowed 1 run in 6 innings as well. That group of 7 relievers stats are as follows;

  • 34 1/3 IP
  • 2 ER (0.52 ERA)
  • 12 hits (3.2 hits/9)
  • 9 walks (2.4 walks/9)
  • 0.61 WHIP
  • 47 K's (12.4 K/9)

Now Smeltzer/Thorpe/Alcala/Littell/Thielbar have combined 21 runs, 31 hits, 14 walks in just 21 innings... so that's pretty bad lol... but theoretically if you can go 7 deep with Dobnak/Pineda/Hill or Maeda or Odorizzi as your long men essentially instead of that group (and Berrios/2 of Hill/Maeda/Odorizzi starting)... you're in pretty good shape.

This is breaking the rules of the title of this post a little bit as it combines numbers from the 2019 season... but they are definitely fun numbers... so maybe we can let it slide?  :whacky028:

 

Byron Buxton's last 102 games which span parts of 2019 & 2020 look as follows:

 

  • .267 avg - .312 obp - .531 slg - .843 OPS
  • 31 2Bs - 4 3Bs -15 HRs - 50 XBHs
  • 56 RBIs - 57 runs - 15 SBs

 

Pro-rated to 162 games (you can then take these numbers are pro-rate them to whatever number of games you feel comfortable with because I know some folks don't like the per 162 game data manipulation)…

  • .312 OBP - .843 OPS
  • 50 2Bs - 6 3Bs - 24 HRs
  • 89 RBIs - 91 runs - 24 SBs 

 

Not bad for a gold glove CF who is hitting from the 9 spot! The other fun fact is that he has 50 XBHs compared to just 35 singles over the last 102 games... XBH MACHINE! The significance of a 102 game stretch with an .843 OPS while playing gold glove defense from the CF position is that is close to being "not a small sample size" especially when sustained for meaningful stretches over multiple seasons.

Great thread because stays relevant. Two numbers have popped up recently. First one is the cumulative MLB batting average into last nights game(s). .241 What does that tell you about this supposed regular season? Second number is 20 as in 20 games in a row Indians have defeated the Tigers. I wonder if one Ron Gardenhire has something to do with that. No help for his prior victim whatsoever.

 

As an aside, is there any way to dispense with the September part of this joke of a regular season and get on with the playoffs which might actually be somewhat interesting?

Even with a number of injuries to the pitching staff and regulars in the field, the Twins are playing at a 104 win pace over 162 games.

It was discovered that Madison Bumgarner rides in the rodeo competitively.

 

Miami infielder Eddy Alvarez was an Olympic speed skater.

 

Now, add Arizona outfielder Kole Calhoun to the list of two-sport stars:

If Dobnak wins tomorrow, he’ll be tied with Bieber for AL win leader with 6 wins.

Considering that Rocco has trusted Randy to go less deep into games on average than either Kenta or Jose, this is definitely a "fun with" kind of stat.
