  1. So Max Kepler now has a 170 OPS+ because of course he does.

      SSS number fluctuations indeed be crazy.

      I hope it continues to into the not so SSS territory!

  2. “Let’s cut Miguel Sano…” *audience cheers* ”… some slack” *audience boos*
  3. Unfortunately, some people were deleting entire topics after many other people had already contributed so I put the delete feature on a timer, I think 60 minutes. After that point, a user can no longer delete their content. If you ever need anything deleted, just ping a mod and they'll be happy to do it.
  4. No, and I'm insulted you even asked.
  5. He seems to genuinely like it here and appears to have already formed a really good relationship with Buxton, as evidenced by him calming down Buxton and helping him get his head right mid-game and then shouting "BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD" at Buxton after he walked it off. I find myself liking Carlos Correa more than I ever expected. He seems like a really positive influence on the team, which definitely may not have been the case when dealing with a highly paid player on a huge contract who can't hit his way out of a wet paper bag.
  6. For the record, I'm also open to the Pohlads giving me $300,000,000, if anyone out there was wondering.
  7. This is a long-term goal across the site but the kind of thing that will probably take an entire offseason of planning to implement. At some point, I want the system to automatically link to a player page if someone types their full name.
  8. While Buxton is the obvious hero, I don't feel enough people are talking about Urshela no-hopping a throw to first while plopped down on his ass.

      He had a pretty good day at the plate as well, including driving in the first run on a sac fly.

  9. New to the site, we've added both the active roster and the 40-man roster pages! These pages will update nightly so they'll always be up-to-date with the current state of the big league club, adding yet another long-term feature I've wanted to see on our baseball sites basically forever. There isn't a lot to say about these pages other than they feature the standard set of player info: name, position, handedness, DoB, etc. To find these pages, use the hamburger menu at the top right of every page (the three horizontal lines), click "Twins Resources", and then you'll be presented the options for both the roster pages and the team schedule for the season. As always, if you have suggestions for new features you'd like to see added or improvements to current features, please comment below!
  10. He literally has 7.0 MLB innings pitched and hasn't pitched earlier than the seventh inning since his debut game. I'm not sure what you expect to happen here.
  11. I’m struggling to keep up with where we stand on the evaluation of Johnson. Do we love him again?
  12. EVERYBODY STEP BACK HE’S GOT MANAGIN TO DO
  13. It sure is fun watching the Twins beat the White Sox.
  14. Literally the most entertaining player in baseball.
  15. Maybe I live in an alternate reality where Danny Duffy pitches for the Twins. DIDN’T THINK ABOUT THAT DID YOU MISTER INTOLERANT OF OTHER PEOPLES REALITIES GUY
  16. What better 40-man options in St Paul are ready to pitch out of the bullpen?
  17. If y'all aren't willing to give Jax a chance in the bullpen, I sometimes wonder if we watch the same games.
  18. People overrate the leverage of a one run deficit. It's wildly different than a one run lead. If you use your best relievers in a one run deficit, that means you'll use your less-good relievers a lot in one run leads.
  19. Before Nelson Cruz, Ervin Santana was actually really good with the Twins.
  20. Correa can't do anything right, even when he kinda does something right. That will change but it's still irritating.
  21. No matter how you shake it, Radke accumulated 45 rWAR in 11 seasons. He posted 5 rWAR seasons two times and 6 rWAR seasons two more times. Radke was better than you're giving him credit for being. Whether he got there through what we consider the "optimal route" is irrelevant, as he was consistently way above average as a starting pitcher. Advanced metrics are only useful in smaller sample sizes, when you reach several thousand career IP and a guy is a very good pitcher using standard stats like ERA+, he's a very good pitcher, period. If Joe Ryan has an 11 year career averaging about 4 rWAR per season, that's a 99th percentile outcome for him. As for the leaderboard, go grab a random team and place Radke on their pitching leaderboard. He's top five in most orgs and top two in many others. For example, he'd be fourth on the Phillies, third on the Cubs, fourth on the Red Sox, second on the Mets, first on the Brewers, etc.... People really undervalue how bloody hard it is for a pitcher to accumulate over 40 career WAR.
