    Yeah, he is league average. ERA+ of 95, FIP in line with his ERA. He's right around league average for starters. Also, his 2018 FIP is just 0.20 above his career line. Odorizzi is actually having a consistently better season in 2018 than he did in 2017.

    Every year, the Twins have guys who can pitch like Odorizzi. The problem is that the Twins need to have guys who will pitch like Odorizzi. Every year we go through this rigamarole: too many starters, replace a league average guy with a prospect, yadda yadda yadda. And every friggin' year, it bites the Twins in the ass no later than May 1st, sometimes as early as Opening Day.

    I’m currently trying to program an IFTTT snippet that turns off my television if it hears the name “Belisle” spoken.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    You're forgetting Pineda. The Twins don't need two starters. I'm not sure they even need one if Romero goes into the offseason looking strong.

    I’m actually more interested in watching the team today than I was seven days ago. I *hated* this team earlier in the season. They were the most frustrating baseball team I’d ever seen. They’d beat Boston and then immediately collapse against the White Sox afterward. Rinse, repeat. Personally, I’m glad one-fifth of this team got the boot. I wish more would have been given the same treatment. They were an immense let down and embarrassing. Most of the veterans should be ashamed of how they laid down and died so many times in the first four months of 2018.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep. This is the third consecutive season of Gordon looking strong and then collapsing in the second half. He's the anti-Buxton.

    Overall, I'm mildly positive about the deadline. I wanted to see Dozier go but this return is pretty ugly, particularly considering they're taking on Forsythe in return. But oh well, I don't think it matters in the end. Brian has absolutely collapsed since the ASG. It's a hope and prayer to think he suddenly gets so hot that an August deal or QO comes into play. I'm more in the camp of "tear off the Band-Aid and move on".

    It is objectively funny. Too many sour grapes around here nowadays. This **** is funny, man.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    That's asking a bit too much.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    The Dodgers almost certainly wish they had made the deal. Considering that De Leon was the big piece in the rumored deal, the Twins should be quite satisfied they did not make that deal.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    So the Dodgers get Dozier and the Twins get Forsythe. We all realize this deal is hilarious, right?
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    It would be even more amazing if the Twins started harassing Cleveland without Dozier or Rodney. The reason the Twins haven't been very good is because their veterans have been sub-par. Dozier is one of those players. Move players who won't contribute to 2019 and/or are expendable. Let the kids play and go into the offseason aggressive again. There's just so little to be gained by keeping guys this season for the 1% chance of catching Cleveland, doubly so when you're eight games behind Cleveland at the deadline largely because those veterans failed to play to their capabilities.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Six of one, half dozen of the other. There's no excuse for Lynn, Reed, Morrison, et al performing at the levels they have this season. They're all veterans with established track records and none of them are old. To a lesser extent, there's no excuse for Sano or Buxton's seasons (though Buxton has something of a defense). I'm not giving the front office a pass because they pretty obviously chose the wrong players. But I refuse to give the players a pass, either, because they had either a veteran track record or the same coaching staff last year and played much better. It's their responsibility to get their asses on the field and play baseball at the level we've seen them do in past seasons.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Lots of guys have underperformed. The signings were mostly bad in retrospect but that happens, especially when coupled with almost everyone else on the team taking a step back. But that doesn't change the fact that the players have no right to be "deer in headlights" after the Escobar trade. If they wanted Escobar on the team, they should have gotten their **** together and played up to their career lines. Escobar was doing his job; over half the rest of the roster was not.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Sure, I have a lot of sympathy for the guys who are playing their asses off out there but this team has vastly underperformed. I can put some of the blame on coaching but at the end of the day, there's no excuse for some of these players to have backslid as hard or quickly as they did. That's on them.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Maybe the team should have reconsidered being nearly ten games under .500 after the KC series if they wanted to compete.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Maybe the team should have reconsidered losing three in a row to one of the worst teams in baseball if they didn’t want the front office to sell.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm not against trading Gibson but am reluctant to do so. If a return is to be had, it can't be A ball players. The org needs something closer to MLB. Maybe not a 2019 contributor but certainly a 2020 contributor.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't know if Sano is ready or not but they seemed to be angling for this for the past week or more. And unloading Escobar was the right move. His logical replacement is Sano. If they didn't feel Sano is ready again, I'd be fine with them throwing garbage at the wall for a few weeks, too.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Trading Escobar and recalling Sano in his place is exactly what this team should be doing, as much as it pains me to say (for two reasons: I don't really like giving up and Escobar may be my favorite player on the team).
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    When Castro went down, people were excited to see Garver. I thought the loss of Castro was possibly the worst thing that could happen to Garver. It appears Garver is improving but I think he could improve more backing up Castro.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    It went public in 2015, maybe? Possibly even early 2016. I can't remember now.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep.

    I sold off my stocks last year but the one I wanted to hold on to was Square because I saw huge growth coming. As it turned out, I needed that last $4-5k to finish off the mortgage so I sold that as well. Damn. My original investment would now be at x7 in 24-28 months (can't remember exactly when I purchased but I got it at rock bottom not long after the IPO, something like $10-11/share). I mean, I still sold at x3 my investment, but damn... x7 is huge.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    This team is infuriating. If they just take care of business against one of the worst teams in baseball in Kansas City, they're back in this thing against Cleveland. Argh. I don't think I've ever been as mad at a baseball team as I am the 2018 Twins. At least in seasons like 2016, you just knew they'd be bad and could find whatever enjoyment there was to be found in the occasional win.
