Twins 5, Orioles 2: Buxton and Bader Bombs, Varland Goes Rolling All the Way to a Win

[David Maro]

Playing better baseball since losing the Cleveland series. But the Lewis as DH could become a big problem because he is running at about 75%. Almost any other player in the dugout would have been safe on the hit in the hole to Henderson. The weekend games in Boston may have been different with Lewis in the lineup. He maybe would be better suited to cheer the team on for now.

You used AI for this?

I only use AI only because it confirmed my original research & it used BA as a resource. I admit they don't line up with BR now.

Very much not in the Rocco camp. He did a good job last night.

This is the kind of comment that will make me happy to listen to criticisms you have.  Shows you haven't lost objectivity or the ability to just be rational about things.  Appreciate it!

Please don't. It's terrible for the environment. Please.

Impressive win...now 2 games below .500. 

Small steps...

The Twins were Houdini on the diamond for much of the game!

You used it for something very basic and when told you were wrong you doubled down and called it The Truth. 

This world, and especially the US, is living in a post truth world thanks to the type of laziness and lack of curiosity you displayed. 

**** AI. It's a trash tool for the least intellectual of society. Make amends, admit you were wrong both in substance and to use the tool as truth in the first place.

My original research that I did which wasn't AI, showed the results that I gave with BR stats to back it up on a past post. I'm sorry I couldn't find that past post to confirm it. I only used the AI statement with BA as a resource because it confirmed my original findings. I can't explain the discrepancy but I admit that BR stats that were presented are different from what was I originally found & under those pretenses, I admit I was wrong, & leave it as it is.

The next time you are feeling lazy and want to use AI I just hope you remember how hilariously bad it failed you this time, how inept it made you look, and how you were laughed at by all.

Why don't you try to read whole texts instead of reading what you want? I did my original research & because I got information that used BA (Baseball America) as a resource that confirmed my original research. Doesn't make me lazy, it makes me not stupid. This is not the summit to prevent WWIII, it's a baseball forum where Twins fans get together to share their views w/o being ridiculed for having different views on petty things, for heaven's sakes. I had many debates with fans who had different views, I have admitted my mistakes & have been enriched. But it's a different thing than being A hole & then doubling down on being one.

I am not sure rumor is the correct term for the Ryan to the Orioles. It was Bowden writing about 5 trades he would like to see and not based on any information about Ryan involved in any trade talk. I am not sure of the Lopez to Dodgers source.

Rumor may be the best word, yes. Several articles were written about Lopez going to the Dodgers. Link below,

What was the source of those rumors? The Twins would have to be out of the race (which they  aren''t right now) and it would require a massive haul to deal either Ryan or Lopez.  

 

What would be the rationale to deal the core SP with Correa and Buxton still on the roster?

This is one of several articles written on the subject. Again....it is writers putting forth rumors.

I disagree that it is a rumor. A rumor needs to be based on some information about talks between the teams. It appears simply to be an idea of someone on the outside and not someone reporting on baseball.
