  1. Houston also plays in a market roughly twice the population of the Twins.
  2. The Greinke deal looks really good for 2019 but one has to ask what this does to the Astros in 2020 and beyond. Hard to see them keeping Cole, for example.
  3. In the course of two weeks, I've gone from quite bullish on this front office to seriously considering whether they should be fired.
  4. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/34237-trade-deadline-discussions-please-read/
  5. We have 19 minutes to trade for the Mets GM because, hey, at least that guy is entertaining.
  6. They can spin it however they want, I don't see this fanbase taking the bait.
  7. I really don’t like the feeling I get one second after refreshing the MLBTR Twins page.
  8. I've never been this stressed out about a deadline before. I don't like the feeling.
  9. If Romo is the best reliever traded, I hope the Twins go find another Romo and trade for him. Or go find a starter and move Perez to the bullpen. I won't fault them for not getting an elite arm if no elite arms are traded but I will fault them for sitting on their hands.
  10. Mostly, the offense can't lay down and die, in particular they can't let a Marlins starter go eight innings. Post four runs against the Marlins and you win the vast majority of the time. The Twins pitching staff can be mediocre and hold that crapfest of an offense to two runs pretty easily.
  11. There really is no excuse, especially relief help. The Twins are absolutely loaded with the type of players it takes to get a relief arm (B/C prospects). If the front office can't identify a few of those players they don't really like in the first place and move them for at least one reliever, that's a pretty massive failure on their part.
  12. No, you're *also* right. The other Fangraphs stat has him around 36%, but I rely more on their PitchFX stats, which has him just over 40%. Potato, Poh-tah-to. The point is the same. He doesn't throw strikes.
  13. Per Pitch Info on Fangraphs, his Zone % is 41.7. That's pretty awful, unless you have a pitch that makes MLB hitters panic on a regular basis. And Romo throws that pitch constantly.
  14. Woof. This is 2019. Last year, all of 12 pitchers threw 200+ innings. The highest topped out at 220. Only 32 pitchers even threw 180 innings or more. That's basically one per team. Adjust your expectations. Baseball is not the same game it was 40 years ago. Hell, it's not even close to the same game it was 20 years ago.
  15. I haven't watched him in awhile but tonight seemed a bit out of character because many of his pitches weren't competitive. Maybe that's who he is now, I hope it's not. He was amped up and threw a few pitches that bent right back at RHB, hitting one of them. I'll chalk it up to nerves for one outing against his old team.
  16. You're lamenting that replacements aren't closer for a guy who has two more years of control and another guy that has three more years of control? What about Rosario? Kirilloff will likely be ready in a year or so, that's a pretty good replacement offering. Lewis isn't far behind him. No team has replacements ready for 24-26 year old players at every position. If they did, that team would have the most historically awesome minor league system ever.
  17. So now we're 23 hours from the deadline and after a quick scan of MLBTR, still absolutely nothing of note. Come on, this is boring...
  18. If the team is confident enough in him to call him up for September, they'd be damned fools not to wedge him onto the roster on August 31st, just in case he pulls a K-Rod. But I'm skeptical they're really interested in calling up a 20 year old and having him pitch late into the season after he had shoulder issues.
