    Yes, because attending a religious ceremony at the park is obviously the same thing as leaving the stadium to go have a hotdog at a carnival. Correlation is not causation. Your post says a whole lot about you and virtually nothing about Kyle Gibson.

    Wes Johnson is a right shoe first and a bacon and eggs guy. He’s also a devout satanist but I’m not sure that part matters.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Why exactly does this have to be noted?

    The Twins bullpen:

    He needs to play more to gain that title but there is no obvious hole in his approach, which bodes well for the future. But, at least to me, Garver's hitting is secondary to the enormous strides the guy has made behind the plate and he deserves nothing but heaps of praise. That in itself has made Garver one of my new favorite Twins.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    And I suspect you just answered your own question, at least in part.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Not in the trade itself, in the failure of the coaching staff to effectively communicate the front office's data to the player and implement that data. The Twins knew Pressly had electric stuff, but there seemed to be broken communication lines when it came to relaying how to implement desired changes to the players themselves. And I think that's part of the reason we have Baldelli and Johnson right now.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    This is why I don't let individual baseball games get to me. It works at least half the time, too.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    To be fair, I think the Pressly situation was a big reason why Molitor and part of the coaching staff was fired (and they had data to back up that decision to ownership after it happened), which is a probably a net win. Ownership never should have put the restrictions they did on Falvine in the first place but that's water under the bridge at this point.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Yes. A team like the Cubs can say "what the hell, let's do it anyway" without moving the needle much on future decisions. The Twins can't do the same.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Sure, the Twins *technically* can swallow the money but if your analytical analysis suggests decline and a reliever wants $16m+ a year, you don't just take on that money because you can technically eat it if you're right about the situation. That's really bad asset management. For good and bad, this front office appears to operate on a pretty strict "dollar to expected performance" ratio. While I wanted to see them land Kimbrel, I'd prefer to see them continue to operate that way and not throw it out the window in an emotional decision. And time will tell if they're right or not.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    While I'm disappointed that the Twins didn't land Kimbrel, I hope their refusal to buy into a third year was made for the right reasons (analytics showing an imminent decline in productivity), not the wrong reasons (money). The Cubs can swallow the money if Kimbrel goes south, the Twins do not have the same luxury. Unfortunately, we'll likely never know why the decision was made.

    I clicked into this article solely to see Kepler’s WPA last night.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Frankly, I was so disappointed that I fell asleep during the third episode. I love the casting of Sheen and Tenant and they're good together, but for some reason the show just feels flat to me whenever they're off-screen.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, last night was pretty bad and I almost never complain about umpiring.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Heh, edited my post at the same time.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I think he'll get one more start before Pineda returns, right? edit: Nevermind, I think Pineda can come back this Friday.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I think the theme of this game should be "it really doesn't matter if you lose when you're 40-18 with an 11 game lead in the division and put a rookie on the mound just to see how he does a second time around". The Twins took a pretty typical loss on the chin tonight. It's nothing to worry about until it becomes a trend.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Except the Metrodome wasn’t built in the late 80s when everyone else in baseball was returning to open-air, baseball-specific stadiums. And then there’s the location of the Trop, which is one of the biggest reasons Tampa has such awful attendance. At least the A’s have the excuse that their stadium is old and that the Raiders spent two decades systematically making the stadium worse for baseball viewing.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    The reason he may not be a closer in Minnesota is because he’d be more valuable in a flex role. Dedicated closers are overrated.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    No, probably not by much. But we should all be wary of those teams that have to go through the grinder to make the postseason.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    The 2001 Mariners started something like 20-5. They ended up with an incredible 115 or something wins. They didn't do so hot in the postseason. Let's not get so wrapped up in the regular season record that we lose sight of what actually matters.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm just trying to save you from the panic attack of a four game losing streak, man. We're all riding high right now but low times will come. Thankfully, this team has been SO GOOD that the low times will likely be brief and only surrounding by good times... but they will still come none-the-less.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    They were modeled to be an ~85 win team eight weeks ago. There's still a hell of a lot of baseball left to be played, folks.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep. I can’t recall the specifics but if certain things were hit in the dome (I think speakers were one), the ball was still in play.
