PAH GAN PAH GAN PAH GAN SAY IT WITH ME EVERYBODY -
Does anyone know if Pagan is available to pitch today?
-
That's literally the only option that isn't laughably bad. But the flip side of that is don't expect success, either. It might be "less bad" but it also won't be good. And then we're back to the crux of the situation, that Baldelli has zero legitimately "good" options.
-
One doesn't have to be a Baldelli supporter to see the primary failing here is from the front office. While people say "don't bring in Pagan!" you just illustrated why it didn't really matter. Duffey has been terrible, too. Cotton ended up taking the L yesterday because he was also bad. Thielbar isn't reliable against righties. So are we really hanging our hats on bashing Baldelli for not bringing in Tyler-****ing-Thornburg? Is that the argument we're trying to make here? Get out of here, that's nonsense. Yeah, Baldelli makes some real head-scratching moves, things I wouldn't do in-game. But if we're squabbling about Tyler-****ing-Thornburg's usage, we're completely off the rails here.

Alcala could be a god-send to this bullpen. I'd cut either Duffey or Pagan when a new piece is acquired. The front office has placed a handful of albatrosses in this bullpen, no one can manage late-game situations if everyone is terrified to use four guys in a close situation.
-
What exactly is Baldelli supposed to do? He has 1.5 good relievers. Is he supposed to blow their arms out by the Fourth of July? While I disagree with many individual decisions Rocco has made, I put 95% of the blame here on the front office, who have completely and utterly failed the manager by giving him 1.5 good options, both of which were backed into in May. Imagine what this bullpen would look like if Jax and Duran hadn't stepped forward.

Right now, the postseason bullpen looks really impressive. Duran Jax Duran Duran Thielbar Jax

Well, epravens is gone now.

Last chance. Show numbers or banned from this thread.
-
This is the last comment before you're banned from this thread unless you show numbers behind your opinion.
-
Except that's what you're doing, as you're obviously working within the parameters of what you would have done versus what Baldelli did, expect with none of the plusses of when you were wrong. And I'm pretty much done with your nonsense. Either put forth your system or be banned from this thread. If you're so rock-solid in your opinion you won't mind sharing the numbers behind it.
-
When one only works within the parameters of counting negative outcomes, well... I think anyone with even rudimentary math skills can see where that will lead over time.
-
So your opinion is that Baldelli is worth -43 wins. That’s fine. It’s also ridiculous. And if you can’t see that number is ridiculous, you’re ridiculous.
-
And now I’m done with Pagan. It was an easy test, now it’s over.
-
I’m absolutely putting Pagan in this point. I wouldn’t have done it many times when Rocco has done it lately but I’d do it now.
-
One side effect of this that @Epravens probably hasn’t accounted for is that his system renders Falvey wildly incompetent while Falvey simultaneously steered a franchise to the postseason and first place so many times. That’s a little weird, to say the least. Someone who has overseen a franchise that wins so much yet hires a manager that is worth about -15 wins a season. Were the 2019 Twins a 116 win team without Baldelli? Well hell, sign me up for that!
-
And now you’re mistaking me as pro-Baldelli. I’m actually quite disappointed with him in many ways and have said so on multiple occasions. The reality here is that you’re spitting out numbers from a system you will not define and expecting us to take it as truth. Defend your position with specifics, then allow the rest of us to argue those specifics upon their merit. No one here is going to just take your word for it, nor should they.
-
First, I put forth no opinion. Second, so you admit you’re just making up numbers. You’re entitled to your opinion of Baldelli, that’s fine. But unless you want to show some work, please stop making up numbers. You’re not actually contributing to the discussion, you’re just trolling.
-
Tell me more about this “documenting” because I’m interested what you know that literally all the baseball professionals and people I know personally do not.
-
As crazy as it feels, Byron’s 20th homer tonight sets a career high for him, as he only hit 19 in 2019. Dunno if they brought that up in the broadcast or not.

Who, though? The front office is rotating through guys who are mediocre on their best days. While I wouldn't have put Pagan in today, he's just as likely to get through an inning as "fill in blank of random name here". The front office either needs to overpay or they need to take a chance on catching lightning in a bottle with an upside arm from the minors. Even though he walks way too many hitters, I'd rather see Evan Sisk on the mound right now over Emilio Pagan. I'm not even sure Pagan would be the guy I cut today but that doesn't matter, either. There are several guys I wouldn't hesitate to let go of in hopes of catching upside in a MiLB guy long enough to limp toward the trade deadline. -

The problem is that Baldelli has one great reliever and one good reliever. When the typical starter goes five innings and a good outing is six innings. simple math tells me that's a real ****ing problem and it's not Rocco's fault. -

Just cut Pagan already. There’s no point in continuing this farce.
