  1. I don't really see how you draw that conclusion. Ryan went to the Olympics, pitched on an erratic schedule, returned and started two games, and now is going to pitch in Minneapolis. That's pretty clearly a development and preparation decision with little to nothing to do with service time. When could the Twins have called up Ryan, the day before he pitched the semifinal game in Tokyo? The timeline doesn't work out.
  2. I think SWR is a coin flip. He has 11 starts at the AA level but has questionable surface level stats. It's hard to say where the Twins will place him to start 2022, which will factor heavily into whether he's a prospect in 2023.
  3. I think Martin will be up next season. He already has over 350 PAs at the AA level with a month left to play. Lewis, you're probably right.
  4. If I recall correctly, by the raw numbers Joe West is a mediocre, kinda bad umpire. He's nowhere near the best in the field, not even close. It's different now than in previous eras. We have tracking data that literally tells us exactly how good an umpire is, down to the third decimal point.
  5. Delmon Young is always fair game. Dude shouted an anti-semitic slur and tackled a guy outside a hotel, in case you weren't aware. Not awesome.
  6. Delmon started packing his bags the moment he heard there are only 20,000 Jewish people in the whole of Australia.
  7. Well, it's not as if Rortvedt has exactly lit up with the minor league world with his career .664 OPS.
  8. Rooker/Rortvedt/Simmons. A true Murder Victim's Row.
  9. And by letting him play for the next month, the Twins will likely discover that and not worry about protecting him this offseason.
  10. In defense of Mike, what the Cubs did is pretty crappy. While I'm generally neutral on most owners - it's their job to try to make money and they pursue that vigorously - the Cubs leave a rather bad taste in my mouth with their recent actions, like they're aggressively exploiting fan loyalty after 2016.
  11. There was a Brent Rooker in the way. It wasn't Buxton's fault at all.
  12. In Ryan's case, not being called up made a lot of sense. He only started two games after the uneven schedule of the Olympics. Miranda? You got me there. I feel he should have been with the team when Donaldson couldn't play third. I suspect it's a 40-man decision but I still don't like it.
  13. I really like Perk in the booth. The Twins have a nice group of color commentators around Bremer.
  14. Why clutch stats are noisy garbage: Donaldson has a 12 tOPS+ in 2 outs, RISP and a 146 tOPS+ in Late & Close.

      That is truly bizarre.

  15. This piece is two years old now but it’s a really interesting and in-depth look at Joe Ryan, his history, an utterly dominant stretch of 2019, and his unusual approach to pitching. Absolutely worth a read. http://baseballprospectjournal.com/rays-joe-ryan-just-scratching-the-surface/
  16. Yeah, I can’t really see him peaking higher than a #3 but that’s valuable. I also hope I’m wrong.
  17. I’ve known this was coming for over a day and was biting my tongue in that conversation…
  18. No limits on the 28 man roster in regards to number of pitchers.
  19. Yep, there was a bug in the page load, should be resolved now.
  20. I find this unlikely, as the Mets players have been doing the thumbs down sign for a couple of weeks but only in the past few days did anyone ask why they were doing it.
