    Rosario is not a perfect player but he's certainly interesting to watch. When I really got tired of him was when he threw out Devers. What a slouch. He could have easily had him at least two feet earlier with a better throw. But, alas, it's not as if that mattered much to the Twins season anyway.

    I don't want to see Berrios again for at least six days. I don't want to see Odorizzi pitch more than four innings on less than five days of rest. I don't want to see Gibson until the end of the season, giving him ~10 days to see if there's something left after resting through illness. I don't want to see Cron more than three times through the end of the season. Rest, rest, rest. The B team can manage three wins against their opponents, which means Cleveland needs to lose just one game the rest of the way out.

    The Twins took two out of three against Chicago. There's no need to panic. Never mind that Chicago is literally the best team the Twins will play the rest of the regular season. That's how easy the schedule gets from here on out.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Or he just stops at second either way because you don't make an out at third with two outs.

    One of the things that I get and don't get is how Twins fans underrate what Tyler Duffey has done lately. He has literally been the best reliever in baseball for the past two months. Since the beginning of August, he has pitched 17.1 innings and struck out 30 (!!!!!) hitters. THIRTY HITTERS. IN SEVENTEEN INNINGS. Velocity ain't everything. I trust Duffey more than anyone but Rogers, and I'm not sure about that call. And when you can call Rogers, Romo, Duffey, Littel, that's kinda fierce.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, Odorizzi was pretty good, albeit against a not good offense. As you said, that double was not a double if an actual outfielder is there to field it. I'm not even blaming Arraez but he ain't an outfielder and that ball is a classic "turn you around and jump" type of ball if you don't read it correctly. Rosario catches that without leaving his feet.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    So will everyone else. After the completion of the 2019 season, the Twins will control Arraez through the 2025 season if my math is right, and it might not be, because I just watched a terrible game at Target Field and am kinda drunk. But still, that's a hell of a long time to control a player who came out of nowhere and one that has pretty questionable defensive ability and a high (but not outrageous given his skillset) BABIP. Wait it out. See what Arraez does in 2020 as his BABIP levels out to something normal and see how he does in the field and how pitchers adjust to him. There's no reason to jump out in front of this and sign him now.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Arraez seems to be one of those players where the eye test tricks you into believing he's a good defender because his situational awareness is good and he rarely does dumb things while occasionally doing really smart things. I think that situational awareness masks that he has below average range and a meh arm. But hey, having good situational awareness and mediocre athleticism is better than having bad situational awareness and mediocre athleticism. But it also leads me to believe it'll be hard for him to improve much defensively because his problem seems to be physicality, not baseball instincts.

    I tip my cap to you, math scholar.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Yes, but the only thing that mattered was the shot Polanco took on Cleveland to win a baseball game.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    They were nine games under .500 and ten games out of the division. They did not have a 50% chance of making the postseason. They probably didn't even have a 5% chance of making the postseason.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep. Going into this season, Pineda had made roughly $16m in MLB salary. Guys who have made $16m (plus $8m this season) need to be smarter than that. With that said, if I can nab both Pineda and Gibson for ~$15m combined next season, I do it without hesitating.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    It could be a big thing or it may simply be due to the fact that Pineda probably doesn't spend his offseasons in the states. Let's not forget that just because a pill has to be prescribed in this country that the same applies to the rest of the world.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    I think that was contextual. In the first game, Rocco was managing to win. In the second game, Rocco was managing not to blow out his bullpen.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Before I even finished reading your post, I also came up with $8/$6m.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Honestly, I think they should target both Pineda and Gibson this offseason. Pineda will be out for a bit but that's okay, you can get him cheap again. Gibson, you can get cheap because he's obviously suffering from an illness. Get that under control and he could return to being a very good pitcher again.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    That's what Monday is for. Put the fork in Cleveland and then rest people. There are literally two weeks left in the season and you have one game remaining against the only competitor for the division, a game you can put them 6.5 back and basically coast the rest of the way. Win tomorrow, then you can rest everyone off and on for two weeks. If the Twins win tomorrow, they can basically play like Detroit from here on out and still win the ALC.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Two wins today virtually buried Cleveland. Maybe they'll show up with fire tomorrow, maybe they'll lay down dead. Either way, it probably doesn't matter much. They were just gut-punched in a pretty serious way. They had ALL the advantage going into this series but just lost a double-header against a crippled team throwing 18 innings of bullpen at them.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    18 innings of bullpen on the road against one of the better rotations in baseball. Two wins. Pretty much everyone called this, right?
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    They were 10 games behind Cleveland and nine games under .500 on August 1st. That's not out of it?
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    I wasn’t clear. The original poster referenced Ellsbury’s time with the Yankees and he was a couple of years past that outlier year when he signed.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    It honestly was just meant as a joke but apparently fell flat. Calling a one year old baseball fan "champ" just seemed kind of funny to me and I didn't intend for it to have a negative tone.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Yawn. There’s an enormous gulf of opinions between “I hope they’re gone” and “they’re the best executives ever”. What we *do* know is that the Twins are on track for their best record in decades. If that doesn’t impress you, so be it... but I think that says more about you than it does Falvine.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Ellsbury is not a great talking point because he made his name on a single outlier year and wasn't great beyond that single season. His defensive metrics were mostly meh.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    As mentioned later, but I want to emphasize again, A-Rod's reduced sentence was before the current MLB guidelines were instituted and was an attempt at temperance to the overly harsh sentence Rodriguez received to "teach everyone a lesson". A-Rod's situation basically led to the modern guidelines because they were so irrational and unfair. Not exactly a great example to use for Pineda.
