    He's all over the place.

    Sands has been awful. No thanks.

    Rocco said "we need a full bullpen." Kinda feels like a jab at the FO to me...Right now he does not have a full bullpen. He has one great option and one good option.

    Jax throws 97 with a hard slider.... Stashak's stuff is way less impressive than Jax's. Stashak throws like 91 with little movement.

    Eh, Bundy is: 1. leading the team in innings 2. better than his numbers indicate because his underlying stats (FIP, xERA, and xFIP) are all lower than his ERA. His xERA is a full run lower than his actual ERA. He doesn't walk guys, and he doesn't really nibble. He just gives up soft contact. 3. 4-4, which is pretty dang good for someone the Twins expected to be the 5th starter. To be honest, Bundy's been a lot better than I expected. Other than his starts right before covid and right after covid, he's been solid.

    Joe Smith is hurt? Since when? I totally missed that.
  7. dex8425
    Put in Smith?

    Great AB by Kwan

    Stop with the "Trade Correa" posts! He's not getting traded. The Twins are going to win the division-you don't get rid of your best player prior to a playoff run. Anything can happen in the postseason and yes, the Twins have less chance of advancing in the playoffs without Correa.

    Urshela with another "not an error" play that could've been made...

    WAR measures a player's value in all facets of the game by deciphering how many more wins he's worth than a replacement-level player at his same position (e.g., a Minor League replacement Joe Schmoe or a readily available fill-in free agent or waiver wire claim).
  12. dex8425
    I think we agree but your sights are set higher than mine I guess. An improved pen PLUS Montas of course makes it more feasible to actually be competitive in a playoff series, or even win one. I just want to win the division and maybe one playoff game! I think an improved pen gets us a central win. Some combination of Ryan, Gray, Ober, Archer, Winder, Smeltzer, Bundy are good enough for five effective starters especially if Ryan and Gray start the playoff series.
  13. dex8425
    The answer is no, unless the Twins can't get bullpen help or the A's price comes down. I don't see the price coming down, and I think the Twins will get bullpen help, so no, I wouldn't be planning on trading for Montas.

    If you watched the game you would've seen that he showed bunt once and it wasn't the first pitch of the at bat.
  15. dex8425
    Buxton showed bunt, but then didn't see another strike and walked.
  16. dex8425
    Buxton led off. First, having him bunt is borderline stupid anyway as he's 2nd in AL in homers. However, he did show bunt early in the count, then only saw one strike and walked. You would want Correa to bunt then? I've never seen Correa even try to bunt nor heard of him doing it.
  17. dex8425
    Correct. You can't be deemed a superstar if you've never even been an all-star or received top ten MVP votes.
  18. dex8425
    Beckham is not on the 40-man roster, and AK is.
  19. dex8425
    Pretty good synopsis. I had no idea the FIP's of our bullpen arms are currently that bad. Two bullpen arms, maybe a starter better than Archer. OR, Pagan and Duffey suddenly turn it around and become trusted relievers again, and the Twins feel confident enough in Archer or Smeltzer to get them through the lineup twice in the playoffs and the Twins do nothing at the deadline.
  20. dex8425
    Yeah Miranda is hitting well currently. Urshela and Larnach and Kepler are struggling recently but I wouldn't send any of those three guys down right now to bring up AK. Maybe if Larnach is still struggling two weeks from now and AK is still raking?
  21. dex8425
    Yes. TLR is probably the biggest reason the Twins are in first place:) He's completely lost that clubhouse.
  22. dex8425
    Guys. Tony La Russa could be the manager. Relax. Rocco is probably in the top third of MLB managers as far as keeping a good clubhouse, getting the most out of players, and managing a pitching staff. Is he perfect? No, but remember he's still REALLY young and learning on the fly having never even been a bench coach or manager at any level before he took the Twins managerial job. All Twins current and former players gush about the front office and coaching staff. (well except for Matt Shoemaker) Correa said it factored heavily into his decision to come here.
  23. dex8425
    He kinda has lost my respect with his HOF voting. He's clearly old-school, but even the old-school guys who are anti-PED don't vote for Jeff Kent and Omar Vizquel and not Billy Wagner or Andruw Jones. He sometimes votes for only 5-6 guys. Okay, you're a small hall guy, that's fine, but then don't vote for Torii Hunter and not Andruw Jones.
  24. dex8425
    The Twins won't and shouldn't trade him. Twins will be in the playoffs this year. He's arguably the most important/valuable player on the team, especially now that Lewis is out for the year. If the Twins get Maeda and Alcala into the bullpen, maybe a deadline deal or two for a closer and Ryan, Gray, Archer are options to start a playoff series, anything can happen. Twins played the Yankees, Rays, Blue Jays above .500 without their three best starting pitchers.
  25. dex8425
    Yeah Carew probably had more steals of home in a season than Arraez had total steals of any base in one season.
