Oh hey, it's my least favorite Twin doing something badly. I wonder why he's my least favorite Twin? -
He's an outstanding defensive catcher, for sure.
-
Ooh, 2019 Duffey showing his face is sexy.
-
Kepler is an anomaly that has been written about a lot over the past few years. He has one of the best hard hit rates in all of baseball but also has the lowest BABIP in all of baseball and does both of those things consistently year-over-year. It's quite strange and very interesting but it leads to a hitter with a very low batting average and decent overall offensive production.

OPS is one of the oldest stats in baseball but cool that you think it's "analytic numbers".

Ex Twins in 2021: Where Are They Now?
Brock Beauchamp replied to Vanimal46's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Butera's career is one of the most fascinating things about baseball I've been following for the past 10+ years. His career OPS+ is 48. He has made $8.4m in his career. I fully understand why that has happened and good for Drew but still fascinating. -
Wrong, but okay. Kepler is actually a very good right fielder, just as Simmons is a very good (no longer elite) shortstop. Except Kepler has a .737 OPS and Simmons has a .565 OPS. If those are the same things to you, cool. We'll go ahead and end this conversation.

You son of a bitch, GET OUT OF HERE, KEEP YOUR MISERY TO YOURSELF LIKE A REAL MINNESOTAN
-
Yeah, that's what I meant by "contact quarantine".
-
Ew. Why'd you even tell us this?
-
I don't think any of them actually tested positive, I recall they were contact quarantines. Though I could be wrong, obviously. Only drawing from a hazy recollection. But that still doesn't change that the infection point was likely Simmons. Also, Kepler is a much better player than Simmons, which leads us back to my initial point.
-
What on earth are you even talking about? I'm not paranoid, I disagree with Simmons' decisions and believe he's not good enough to keep around the team. But hey, if that's how you define paranoia:
-
Yeah, this is quoting me. And guess what, Joe Ryan literally will not make another start with the Saints and the Twins are doing exactly what they should be doing. Which was my point all along. After all, I said... And then the Twins called him up six days later. I find it hard to complain when they do the things I'm vocal about wanting them to do. They literally did exactly what I wanted them to do.
-
It doesn't, at least not directly. But if you have a pretty bad baseball player who also created quite a ruckus by not being vaccinated and then causing a quarantine situation, that factors into whether said bad baseball player is worth keeping around. If Simmons was actually good, you deal with his nonsense because he's laying it out on the field. But there's no reason to deal with problematic people who are eminently replaceable.
-
Nick Gordon's glove is not a capable MLB shortstop. I get that. But I'm still really interested in seeing what his bat is capable of doing; not because it's going to be good but maybe it can be serviceable if he can rove the field and fill in positions as needed. With that said... I actually get why Simmons is still on the roster. The Twins are currently fielding, by my count, 37 pitchers with less than one year of service time. Having a vacuum at shortstop with a feeble bat may be infuriating to watch but it serves a legitimate purpose of keeping young arms on the field longer on average.
-
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Why hasn't the anti-vaxxer been shown the door?
-
I still believe he'd be a capable reliever. I also believe, with considerable evidence, he's a lousy starter. Just call up Strotman because what the hell, why not.
-
Oh, sure, but he can be both good and infuriating to play behind.
-
Yeah, the Cubs' 26-man roster is not in a good place. Their farm system sure looks 100x better after the deadline, though.
-
Okay, Gant is done. Our collective time dilation can finally end.
-
Dick Bremer: "This is fun to watch!"
-
What I find most disheartening about this game is that it only encourages them to make us suffer yet another John Gant start.
-
Hey, be fair. Odorizzi is actually a good pitcher.
