Oh yeah, he still has giant power but it's less all-or-nothing. -
Sano's new approach saps some of his power but I'll take the additional singles and decent contact all day.
-
I mean, that's not really fair, though. Did the Twins do anything wrong that caused Pineda to be suspended with only 40 games remaining? Did they do anything wrong when Kyle Gibson fell to pieces after the trade deadline? We can talk about how they didn't do enough at the deadline - and I'd agree - but that team looked damned good on July 31st and were a wreck by October 1st, which was largely out of the front office's control.
-
The 2017 bullpen was bad. The 2021 bullpen is bad. But I was speaking specifically about the quality of the pitching inherited in 2017, which I feel was pretty squarely in the "not very good" category. As for this front office today, they obviously ****ed up big time this offseason. I think we can all agree about that. Now it's up to them to not repeat the same mistakes next year. I'll give them a mulligan on a single season but not two in a row.

The Twins cannot sit on five runs in Yankee Stadium. They need to put this team away for once.

Rocco: makes a call to the pen Barraclough: begins running onto field Me: NOT AGAIN HOW IS THIS DUDE STILL ON THE ****ING TEAM

1. We weren't talking about this season. 2. The conversation is about what was inherited in 2017 and despite this 2021 bullpen looking like a trashfire for three months, they are currently... 12th... in the American League in ERA. So, yeah, that's actually a good point you just made for me. The great pitching staff the front office inherited in 2017 included a bullpen that, comparatively speaking, was no better at preventing runs than this "everything that could have gone wrong, did" 2021 bullpen.
-
Oh, I wasn't being sarcastic. I legitimately like it when announcers introduce the concept of advanced metrics to television audiences.
-
These were the relievers in that sole 2017 postseason game: Jose Berrios (good!) Trevor Hildenberger (uh... okay that year, I guess but it wasn't going to last) Taylor Rogers (not particularly good... yet) Allen Busenitz (yikes, bro) Matt Belisle (cringes) There's a reason the 2017 Twins bullpen was 12th in the American League in ERA. It wasn't... what's the word I'm looking for... oh... that's right... it wasn't.... Good.
-
I'd offer a $15m base with incentives that can send the contract to $35m in a season. Basically, start at good MLB starter money and escalate to Mike Trout money.
-
By the way, loving Morneau taking so much time to explain WAR to viewers.
-
If he plays well, I think an extension actually becomes more likely, as the Twins become less gun shy about paying the man.
-
One thing we don't really talk about much is how much it sucks to not have announcers in the stadium on road games. They have no feel for flyballs or distance.
-
Oh for sure, I don't wish injury on anyone but I'm not too worked up about the impact of John Gant beyond wishing he does well and stays healthy, just like everyone else.
-
LOLOLOLOLOL THIS STADIUM SUCKS
-
That's fair. While I'm down on Gant, he's better than those guys.
-
Injuries always suck but let's be honest here... how much do we care about John Gant? I know I'm exceedingly down on the guy but even if looked at objectively, this doesn't impact much for 2022.
-
Something in his arm or elbow. Velocity was down and he grimaced after his final pitch, grabbing his arm.
-
Oh yay, more Charlie Barnes tomorrow.
-
Let’s not go crazy, just be happy they scored in Yankee Stadium.
-
Bwahahahahah Miggy
-
Damn, Polanco.

OPINION: The ‘Fire Falvine’ talk should stop (for now)
Brock Beauchamp replied to cHawk's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Dude, pump the brakes. While everyone here is being respectful, you just very intentionally mis-quoted chpettit. You grabbed a quote from his third paragraph and responded while this was literally the second sentence of his post: This is a clear example of arguing dishonestly. We expect better on Twins Daily. -
It has been a long time since I cared this much about a Twins game that doesn't really matter to the Twins.
