    How many rounds is the Rule 5 draft? Two? Three if there are takers? Seems like 29 front offices missed twice (maybe three times) on the chance to draft Miranda. What a bunch of idiots!

    MLB.TV thinks I'm in San Francisco. Out there they get Chevy commercials in some other language, and they get commercials about ending blackouts. Two more reasons never to move there.

    No more Logan Forsythe's please.

    Eugenio .. Suarez gettin' this guy out, you need to throw it high and inside.

    Just thinking outside the box here, and perhaps this isn't a good way to handle this, but ..... How about have a league safety goal of a certain number of hit by pitches that decreases each year? My workplace has a goal like this that measures safety incidents per 100K employee work hours or something like that. It decreases each year. Obviously, the real goal is zero, but you have to work to improve within reason. Looking at the graph above, I will just somewhat arbitrarily suggest 1600 HBPs for the next season. That would be about 54 per team. If you stay under that number, you get a sandwich round draft pick between rounds 2&3. If you are above that number, you lose your 3rd round draft pick. I thing something like that would make an incentive for teams to develop players not to hit batters. The Mitch Williamses, Jim Hoeys and this guys of the world may never see an MLB field again, but that's the breaks. Get better. Edit: For reference, the Twins had 61 HBPs in 2019 and have 27 so far this season. They would be losing draft picks.

    Maybe if Ober is pitching well, he will get a longer leash today. It seems the bullpen could certainly use a longer outing from him.

    Don't worry, you aren't the only one who's played mental toy soldiers about this. It's probably best for it to play out in our minds and stay off the field though. ?

    Another stupid umpire taking the bat out of a player's hand ... Robo-umps please

    Texas is worse than every team on that list, so I'm not ready to convert. If the Twins can take 3 of 4 from Cleveland at home, maybe I'll nudge. I'll tell you what I don't want to see is top prospects being moved for rentals just to get a hope and a prayer for a shot at getting 0fer'd in the first round of the playoffs again.

    De La Trinidad might be one to sell high on at the deadline. He's another LH outfielder who will be stuck behind other young players. He's also rule 5 eligible. Even though the Twins should be sellers, they should try to work the value while it's there. Julien, Steer and Miranda should all be promoted, and they all can basically replace the guy promoted in front of them. The Twins should easily be able to show one of Descalso, Tomscha or Johnson the door at St. Paul to accommodate these promotions.

    You betcha. Now we get a bullpen rollercoaster ride.

    It's definitely been one of the most over-estimated and most poorly managed. Happ, Shoemaker and Colome have been absolute duds. Maeda and Pineda have been injured. Dobnak, Thorpe and Jax have been spun around and turned upside down (mostly due to the lack of output of the previously mentioned gang of five). Dobnak apparently can't really throw his newly polished slider, but he's still sent out there anyway. Stashak looked hurt a long time before he was finally sent to the IL. The worst part about it is that most of the one and done contracts are invested in these low output players, and they won't command anything in return at the deadline.

    I can't wait for the purge, so that some of these guys like Moran can get a look.
  18. MMMordabito
    Goddamnit, Rocco, I hate you. Good performances from the young guys are all we have left. 63 pitches and no duress?
  19. MMMordabito
    If players keep dropping like flies to injury, he should have ample opportunity. Donaldson being out for a month with a calf is a good bet over the next season and a half. Add in Arraez' knee, Polanco's ankle and Gordon's belly, and I'm pretty sure he'll get a chance.

    Well, after this coming weekend, the Twins should be in position to draft the next Kohl Stewart with the 4th pick in the 2022 draft.
  21. MMMordabito
    Something xBA-ish?
  22. MMMordabito
    Fire Baldelli
  23. MMMordabito
    Wow ... I agree with Morneau. That's one everybody needed.
  24. MMMordabito
    That's what rookies do
  25. MMMordabito
    He also expanded way to much on that pitch at 3-2. He has to be patient and keep the line moving there.
