    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.

    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.

    I'll be pretty angry if nothing happens.

    Remember that time Sano squared up to bunt? Hilarious.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    We're still in July and the Twins are closing in on the '64 team in homers. Amazing.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    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.

    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.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    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.

    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...
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    It is interesting they didn’t get him. If I recall correctly, they were in on him but he ended up in Miami, who everyone knew was going to be terrible. I wonder what happened.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    I also want the front office to be more aggressive in this regard but Graterol is rehabbing a shoulder issue. That’s probably not the guy you get aggressive with late in a season.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Could they use him? Maybe. Will he be ready for MLB hitters or will they want to trigger his 40-man roster activation? Unlikely.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    He'd be claimed this year. In 2017, he was a chunky, mediocre first baseman in low A ball. In 2018, he was a really bad first baseman in high A ball (as in "under .600 OPS" bad). In 2019, he's a slimmed down pretty good defensive first baseman with an OPS of .900 split between A+/AA. That guy gets claimed, for sure.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I think it’s just an odd year, especially with the Mets being crazy and San Diego considering getting in on the fun, too.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    We’re 48 hours from the deadline and Stroman is the only big name to move. Can anyone remember a deadline coming together this slowly?
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    There are reasons not to love Stroman, lots of them. I’d still take him, though. But given how the front office seemed so lukewarm on him given their reported interest, there’s probably something they don’t like about him (also notice the Astros appeared to have no interest as well, not a great sign).
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins have been involved in more rumors than I’ve ever seen before and everyone good not named Stroman is still on board (which is weird in itself, really). I’d be shocked if we don’t see one more good relief arm come to the team. As for the postseason, the Twins are close to a lock. They’re five games up on the second WC and have literally the easiest schedule in baseball through the end of the season. But without another good arm, they could easily end up in that WC game, which would be a pretty big failure in itself.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, almost a zero chance on Buxton, I think. Rosario might happen. It depends on the return, which I think is a big hurdle to overcome. Corner OF don’t bring a lot back nowadays unless they’re elite. Rosario is simply good.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Sure, a margin of error exists... but it exists in both directions. It’s equally likely that Cron is a two WAR player that it is he’s a zero WAR player. Therefore, I go with the number listed next to his name, which puts him as maybe a slightly subpar starter. And I’m not even sure I buy into that but baseball offense is so batty this season that it’s hard to wrap my head around what is good, bad, or average. It doesn’t help that B-Ref has him valued so differently.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Though, as someone else pointed out on the forum, swapping a reliever with the Giants for Schoop makes a hell of a lot of sense. They have Solano playing well right now but Schoop is a better player. If the Giants are going to make a push, that could be a good way to do it.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Definitely possible and frankly, I like what the Mets gave for Stroman. I just don't like what the Mets are thinking right now, and it seems most of baseball agrees. But also, why didn't the Twins offer a comparable package?
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins win the Yankees series with Buxton in center. He's just that kind of guy. During those close games when he's missing, it feels like at least once every game you say "damn, Buxton catches that". And it happened approximately 59 times during the Yankees series. Damn, that series was ugly. Also, I hate Jake Cave.
