    So is that $43m cash or prorated for this season? If it's prorated, that's not a lot of money. If it isn't prorated, that seems about right (and I'm 50/50 on the Twins committing that kind of money to a reliever so I'm disappointed but not outraged over it).

    Frankly, I was so disappointed that I fell asleep during the third episode. I love the casting of Sheen and Tenant and they're good together, but for some reason the show just feels flat to me whenever they're off-screen.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, last night was pretty bad and I almost never complain about umpiring.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Uh... Yes? As a starter, Keuchel is more valuable, but only over what you're replacing on the roster. The Twins have a pretty good starting rotation and a pretty shaky bullpen. It's hard to see Keuchel being more valuable unless you also factor in Pineda moving to the bullpen and being good. And really, the Twins are already looking to the postseason so maximum regular season improvement is not the same as postseason improvement.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree. I'd give up Kiriloff but that's a massive salary take for the Twins, particularly for a pitcher. I'd throw in one or two 10-20 guys to sweeten the pot but not more than one top five guy.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Heh, edited my post at the same time.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    I think he'll get one more start before Pineda returns, right? edit: Nevermind, I think Pineda can come back this Friday.

    BUT HE PULLED SMELTZER OFF THE MOUND TOO EARLY LAST TIME OUT THIS IS SO CONFUSING SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO THINK WHERE IS SOUHAN RIGHT NOW
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    MY GOD WHY AREN'T YOU EVEN TYPING IN CAPS

    I think the theme of this game should be "it really doesn't matter if you lose when you're 40-18 with an 11 game lead in the division and put a rookie on the mound just to see how he does a second time around". The Twins took a pretty typical loss on the chin tonight. It's nothing to worry about until it becomes a trend.

    OMG THE TWINS LOST AN ENTIRE GAME IN THE STANDINGS WE'RE DOWN TO A DOUBLE DIGIT LEAD WTF FALVINE IS A JOKE AND SANO STRIKES OUT TOO MUCH
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    This is the first game I've been able to watch in over a week and this is the game we get. You're all welcome.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Jorge, not gonna score two homers by swinging harder.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    So the Twins are down by three runs. Is that insurmountable or a single swing from Rosario? I have to admit that I don't understand Twins baseball anymore.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Not what I'm saying.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    All three have an equal or lower career K rate than Sano's lowest single season K rate. Well, except for Wil Myers. But he has a 109 OPS+ for his career. I'm looking for something a bit better than that with Sano. The thing is that I'm not even bashing Sano, I just want him to improve the weakest part of his offensive game because I think it will make him a much better player moving forward. Again, I'm not looking for Joe Mauer here but a 32% K rate would help his stats improve that much more.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Strikeouts always matter, particularly when talking about Sano. The strikeout is the one way a plate appearance has zero chance of becoming productive in any way, shape, or form (outside the weird passed ball strikeout that happens a few times a season). We've seen this with Sano before; a hot start where pitchers underestimate him, then an adjustment period where Miguel's numbers start to decline as pitchers realize he'll swing and miss at a ton of borderline pitches. We'll see if that happens again this season soon enough. I hope it doesn't but given his miss rate, I don't have a lot of confidence. As for the rest of your post, you're rebutting points I'm not trying to make (but others in this thread are so feel free to keep talking about them). I don't want Sano demoted. He is *definitely* the best third baseman on the team. I don't want Sano traded. What I want is for Sano to be who he *can* be, and that's a player with slightly better contact, a marginally better K rate, and the ability to post MVP-level numbers, not "very good" numbers.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Gallo's walk rate is also an insane 19.6%. And his BABIP is an unsustainable .385 (career .273). Sano can be productive with a K rate north of 37% but his production will be limited somewhat because he walks back to the dugout in over one-third of his plate appearances. I don't think anyone here is asking Sano to cut that K rate to 20% and become a contact guy but it'd be nice if he could cut at least 4-5% off that K rate, preferably one or two points more than that.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Yes, this. Arraez needs seasoning and is positionally limited. Astudillo is a pretty ideal 25th guy thanks to his flexibility. Don't kick the sleeping dog.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't want Cleveland to sell. I want them to hang around in a depleted capacity for awhile until they ultimately are forced to sell at a much lower price than they'd get today.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Both, probably for a reliever.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    And I question whether a 1.000 OPS is sustainable when mixed with a 40% K rate. We've seen hot starts from Sano before. I think the guy will settle in being, at minimum, an .825-.850 OPS player. That's very good. But he can be better than that, which is my point. His contact rate and the resulting K rate is what is holding him back. In no way am I agreeing with people who want him traded or demoted. That's just pure silliness.

    Except the Metrodome wasn’t built in the late 80s when everyone else in baseball was returning to open-air, baseball-specific stadiums. And then there’s the location of the Trop, which is one of the biggest reasons Tampa has such awful attendance. At least the A’s have the excuse that their stadium is old and that the Raiders spent two decades systematically making the stadium worse for baseball viewing.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    The reason he may not be a closer in Minnesota is because he’d be more valuable in a flex role. Dedicated closers are overrated.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I was pretty meh on the signing (it was okay, nothing to get excited about) and he’s been pretty good thus far. I’m happily wrong about this one.
