    This was kind of a last minute tool. I hope to create some sort of save and revision feature next off-season. But considering that it was assembled in about ten days, shut your mouth about its lack of options.

    Watching Dahmer-Monster on Netflix. It’s a hard watch. Slow with no easy answers to why he was an absolute monster. It throws a lot at the viewer but I think it works overall, as nice and tidy answers don’t jibe with how someone like him exists in the world. And holy **** is Evan Peters disturbing as Dahmer.

    I finally watched Moon Knight. It might be my favorite Marvel show thus far. WandaVision and Falcon & Winter Soldier might be better but Moon Knight was exactly what I wanted from the adaptation. Complete and utter lunacy throughout with a very superhero feel to it.

    Super cool that so many are HAPPY to deprive this site and its creators of their sole revenue source. Anybody who brings up specifics about ad blockers is getting warning points. Using a tech workaround to take away 100% of the revenue that literally dozens of people use to keep this site operational is ******, especially because WE OFFER AN AD-FREE VERSION. I'm so ****ing sick of freeloaders, especially ones who boast about how awesome they are for doing it.

    This. All of this.

    First, Johan Santana's career basically ended after he threw 130 pitches in a no-hitter. I chalk that up to a bad coincidence but it has happened before. Second, Joe Ryan has averaged over five innings a start. I'm not sure where you're getting "hardly pitched more than 4.2".

    Holiday weekend. I have no idea what day it is anymore.

    I don't fault the Twins for being forced to start Varland here in the sense that they've suffered an enormous number of injuries but I'm starting to really question their medical team. Year in and year out, the Twins have gone into September looking like a shell of their April selves. Yes, injuries are way up in baseball but why do the Twins always seem to face other teams still rostering most of their original squad in September and October while the Twins look like the third act of a zombie movie?
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Making his MLB debut in Yankee Stadium during a September run for the playoffs. I'm going to avoid the heartbreak and skip the game tonight. Godspeed, Mr Varland.

    It never fails. There’s always one descriptor in a Stu article that kills me with its perfection.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    I’ll gladly pay if the Twins are involved. Better than DTV’s awful $90 sub I currently use to ONLY watch BSN.

    I left in the seventh because the stadium was being swarmed by non-baseball fans who were walking up and down the aisles non-stop and blocking sight lines. One person stood with her back to the field for two minutes while the Twins had the bases loaded, entirely blocking my view of the plate. Combined with a *very* bad baseball game where even Gray and Manoah were borderline unwatchable due to the walks and agonizingly slow pace of play, it was one of the worst baseball experiences I've sat through. Which was really disappointing, as I think the Jays are the most exciting team in baseball, maybe excepting the Padres.

    They may not have had the gaps but that also speaks to just how underwhelming their rosters have played this season. The Twins shot themselves in the foot constantly during the first 100 games but their BaseRuns record is even with their real record. Should they merely cease sabotaging themselves, they're probably a 90-win team. Whereas BaseRuns has Cleveland at one game worse than their actual record and the White Sox at three games worse, four games under .500. The Twins had big gaping holes that they mostly patched up at the deadline. The Guardians and White Sox are just mediocre. It will be a massive disappointment if the Twins don't win the division. They're the best team.

    Will they need to pay more attention in the foreseeable future? Maybe not. They have Duran for five more years, Jax for... five? And Lopez for two more seasons after 2022. Provided none of those guys fall off a cliff - a possibility with all relievers - the Twins shouldn't have to go shopping for relievers for awhile. They also have guys like Alcala and Maeda coming back and some of their upper minors prospects are sure to flame out of starting games. The Twins bullpen is looking really nice for the next couple of years.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    It's quite a haul for Lopez but probably worth the price of admission. It seems that every time I check into this deal, another player coming from the Twins has been added.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Okay, sure. ESPN has Great American as the second highest ballpark factor behind Coors this season and they're regularly top five. The lowest I saw the park is 12th back when the Reds had a good pitching staff. https://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/parkfactor Baseball Savant mirrors that data. If the Reds are good, GAB is somewhere in the 8-14 range in ballpark factors. If the Reds are bad, it's top five. That tells me the ballpark is significantly skewed toward hitting because in the past decade, the park has never been in the bottom half of the league, not once. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/statcast-park-factors Target Field is close to the inverse but plays more neutrally. If the Twins are good, TF regularly sits in the 16-25 range. If the Twins are atrocious, it occasionally cracks the top ten. It never reaches the bottom nor top five of ballparks from what I saw.

    All very true but I'm not much of a believer in xFIP. I think it has serious flaws, like the fact that some pitchers can induce weak flyballs better than others. Normalizing to league average underscores that ability; take for example old friend Jake Odorizzi, whose ERA outperforms his xFIP every year, some times as much as a full run. For his career - 1,200 innings pitched so well past the point of ERA normalizing - his career xFIP is half a run higher than his career ERA. That's no longer a fluctuation, that's a data error. I think xFIP is too cute by half. Give me regular ol' FIP every day.

    This deadline was stunted a bit due to the Qualifying Offer being up in the air and the expanded playoffs. Notice that until the past day or so, no one of note has been traded anywhere in MLB. There was a lot of money and value tied up in that International Draft vs Qualifying Offer negotiation that only ended... two days ago? I think two days ago.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    They realize the importance of pitching. They believe the ROI on good free agent pitching is abysmal and they're not wrong. While I want to see them play a little in the higher-end pitching market, the real path to winning is developing pitching. And as long as they continue trying to acquire pitching via trade, that's probably a better alternative than outright free agent spending. While they were burned on Paddack - at least for now - their acquisitions of Odorizzi and Maeda were very good. Hopefully they can do that again in the coming days.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I'm not saying it should have happened already, I'm only saying that I expect the Reds to move one of Castillo/Mahle before the deadline and the other at the deadline (if they're going to trade both).
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    The Reds would probably trade Mahle now because it depletes the starting pitcher market and that allows them to more aggressively shop Castillo. This strategy would likely pay off if Oakland continues to be stubborn about Montas. It would put the Reds in the driver's seat going into deadline day. Get a fair price for Mahle now, try to hose someone with Castillo in a few days.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    People don't pay enough attention to just how much Great American hurts flyball pitchers. I don't know if Mahle is top 30 but he's WAY better than his ERA indicates.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    The Athletic's Dan Hayes mentions briefly that the Twins are more interested in Tyler Mahle than they are Luis Castillo. Mahle doesn't have the eye-popping stats of Castillo but would be a considerable upgrade to the Twins' rotation, as would Castillo. If the Twins are pursuing Mahle over Castillo, is it due to price, untapped potential, or both? I still think Montas is a long shot, the A's seem to be really intent on asking top dollar for him. If they haven't already overplayed their hand, I think there's a good chance they'll end up doing so. View full trade rumor
