    Yeah, and his barrel rate is now up to 25%, which is ludicrous zone, higher than Buxton and Trout.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Swap out Rortvedt for a (preferably not awful) Garver and that's a pretty good-looking lineup.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, didn’t see that coming at all.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Whereas Cave has a 1.095 OPS over the past seven days.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    That side-by-side video is amazing. It's as if you put Buxton in photoshop and image sized him to 120%.

    An all-new Twins Daily is coming your way! After (way too many) years, we're finally launching a comprehensive reworking of the entire site. I'm super excited about it and I think you will be, too. On top of the new design being much more mobile-friendly, it's going to offer a slew of new features aimed at enhancing the community aspect of the site. A few things to look forward to: - Clubs: we'll be bringing back more off-topic discussion in semi-private clubs, which are essentially sites-within-a-site - Profile customizations: you'll be able to change a lot more about your profile page and interact with other users outside the forums, posting back and forth on pages and following members whose content you want to always catch - Forums: you'll be able to rate posts, have multiple options beyond "like", search and post animated GIFs without leaving the editor, and have a much more robust set of features to use - Blogs: ditto for the blogs, there are loads of new features that make it much easier to post into a blog, which will be much more public-facing than they currently are - More and better documentation for the site: I'm currently working up a set of tutorials that will all be located on one page so no more guessing where to find information how to use these new features And a lot more. I'm super-excited to reveal all this cool new stuff!

    The thing is, he's not really sputtering. His average exit velo is 94mph. His expected WOBA is .377. His barrel percentage is 15%. Those are all very good numbers, though obviously SSS applies here. Past performance does not guarantee future results and all that.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    I think he'll get another shot this season but don't see much of a future in Minnesota past 2021.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    The defensive difference is substantial but Jeffers hasn't gotten a real shot this season, either. He's a RHB facing almost exclusively RHP and one game isn't going to drastically shift my opinion of Garver in the here and now (ultimately, I think he recovers but have no idea to what extent). And despite facing pretty much only RHP, Jeffers has all of 37 PAs this season. Literally *one* big game changes his entire stat line tremendously.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    His batting line doesn't tell us the real story. He hasn't been bad but he's definitely been unlucky. I'm interested to see what his line looks like when the unlucky bout ends. Will it be average or above average?
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    That part got me.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Yikes. I don't think I agree with that move but okay.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    I really like LaTroy but damn that was awkward. And I also like Thome but YIKES BRO that was awkward.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm not even sure what you're getting at here. The Twins currently have an 8-15 record. If that's what you want me to say, okay, I said it. You're using a lot of words to say very little about a point I'm not trying to make.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    We're less than four weeks into the season. I'm obviously speaking of talent level as a predictor, not what has already happened.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    That's a really weird way to look at a team when the goal is to win. "You're too good and make us win more than we would without you!" Especially in the case of the Angels who are a high spending team and flush money down the drain with frightening regularity. The Angels ineptitude is 100% on the front office and ownership, as Moreno meddles far more than he should with far less expertise than someone making those decisions should have.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Actually, I think he can ratchet it up to the mid 90s. He has a very good arm.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    He has all of 15 career postseason PAs because the Angels front office is incompetent and can't build a playoff team despite Trout gifting them ten wins every season.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Mike Trout has an 85% success rate on stolen bases in his career? Yikes. That guy is simply amazing at everything.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    That's why it's important to not be obstinate about vaccinations. Some people are far more likely to have adverse reactions, which makes the "but I don't wanna" crowd all the more insufferable. BTW, after being vaccinated once, I had three days of "Covid toe", which is pretty close to gout and left me immobile for most of three days so my tolerance for "but I don't wanna" is pretty damned low. (I get my second shot in two days)
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    The big difference is that while both Jeffers and Garver are RHB, Jeffers has six PAs against LHP and Garver has 27 PAs against LHP. In that scenario, Jeffers has every excuse why he's not hitting while Garver has no excuse why he's not hitting. Both have been terrible but Jeffers has a significant advantage on defense and hasn't had a real opportunity on offense. It's time to balance the scales on offense.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Nobody is more bent out of shape than me about the last two postseasons but in fairness, the Astros turned around and beat the A's after dispatching the Twins in two games. Then they took the Rays to seven games. They ended their season one win away from the World Series. It was a lousy showing by the Twins and I'm still mad as hell about it but the Astros were very good once the postseason began.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    The verifiable part is the Twins actually won those baseball games. The rest is mostly conjecture.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Ah yes, the classic and completely unverifiable “he won in spite of himself” argument. It’s an argument that ignores little things like how the Twins pitching staff over performed expectations by a wide margin in 2019 and 2020.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    While I haven’t been a fan of Baldelli this season, he should be fired if he’s making decision based on six combined PAs by two players, especially if those six PAs weren’t exactly jaw-dropping.
