    I agree, can not discount the Royals. So many years a team will come out of nowhere. Could be them. No easy wins for us in the division for us this year.
  2. Twinsrtheworst
    Or do analytics not cover speed or base running? I'm guessing that is another unnecessary skill set?
  3. Twinsrtheworst
    In response to the rebutting of Astudillo and his batting average. I would think his speed would be the issue or lack there of? Just suggesting, if you think about it for a second.
  4. Twinsrtheworst
    Great article. Thankyou for sharing.
  5. Twinsrtheworst
    Thanks for the laugh ashbury!

    Watching Sundays game. Why does the RBI Stat not matter again? Couldn't we use some this year?
  7. Twinsrtheworst
    Well said Dave The Dastardly. I've been saying this for awhile, but get beat back down, as if the only goal is to hit the ball hard as opposed to doing what it takes to win games.
  8. Twinsrtheworst
    Ouch. These hurt. But as someone pointed out to me on another thread, we are top 5 in hard hit percentage.
  9. Twinsrtheworst
    Why are you bringing up Ortiz? Gotta get over that loss twinbythebay! And who suggested turning Buxton into a slap hitter? I'm not sure, if that's what you are suggesting?
  10. Twinsrtheworst
    I suggest a more rounded approach as stated earlier. Hard hit, exit velocity, but also going opposite field, hitting behind a runner, shortening a swing with 2 strikes. Hard hit percentage doesn't always equall winning and runs. Ie...6-11. But sometimes as a other, you may want to read comments as we take time to read your article, which I appreciate. Batting average was below .244 going into game by the way when article was written. What do you propose, swinging all out every swing with the idea of only having a top 5 hard hit rate?
  11. Twinsrtheworst
    My original comment stated a good mix would be best. Why would anyone think they are trying to hit the ball AT fieldiers? Why would anyone do or suggest that? Are you reading the comments you respond to?
  12. Twinsrtheworst
    You even put down Mikelink45. Just because he had a different opinion. I believe we should encourage opinions, comments, and new members.
  13. Twinsrtheworst
    Above all, learn to allow other opinions. Don't be so sensitive about your shortcomings please. Also don't put words in your commenter mouths. Actually read th initial comment. No need to be passive aggressive. I am also entitled to my opinion. No need to try and belittle someone just because they maybe smarter than you.
  14. Twinsrtheworst
    Have you watched a game recently.
  15. Twinsrtheworst
    Please don't misquote me or puts words in my mouth. Who said aim?....oh you did. Cmon Parker I'd hope you are better than this and watch a game or two. Or as you say in the article "swing as hard as you can.works for Sano"
  16. Twinsrtheworst
    Parker, it's your article. Don't be so sensitive. My proposal is to not swing for the fences and move runners over or bring them in. Of course swing with intention, but put ball in play. If the goal as you stated is to only try to hit the ball as hard as possible. Well that will lead to many slumps and ugly at bats. Since ytou are soo smart in some many ways..lol....what is your proposal?
  17. Twinsrtheworst
    I wonder if batting practice and infield practice will become mandatory as opposed to voluntary as it is now. Very frustrated at the moment. I've watched every inning of every game. Rock has to stop overthinking subs, ie..blankenhorn for Josh, and many others. Maybe is Rocco informed practice and teamwork? Put down the data and actually watch the game. Alot of bad to see, with easy fixes.
  18. Twinsrtheworst
    Also Parker, you do see the Twins have hit the ball hard, as you stated. However that has not turned into a higher batting average. Your exact article shows this.
  19. Twinsrtheworst
    You do understand hitting the ball to places without fielders correlates more to batting average...right? Cmon Parker

  21. Twinsrtheworst
    I agree. Maybe if we can beat the shift once in awhile. I've watched every game. Seems like other teams are able to!? I know I will get pounded for this, but give me a lineup that is top of the league in batting average over a team high in batted balls over 95 mph. Though a good mix would do.
  22. Twinsrtheworst
    Would it not be more productive for him to be put in low level situations? Why keep giving him opportunities to lose games?
  23. Twinsrtheworst
    Sign him, lock him up for 5 years. He's had some bad luck. I'm predicting top 3 in mvp votes this year. He won't break the bank if we sign him now. Money well spent
  24. Twinsrtheworst
    5 for 50 million would be great. I just don't see heem even considering that kind of offer sgt.
  25. Twinsrtheworst
    I believe he is the next Gwynn, Carew. I just think so many folks are down on batting average to were if a player hits .320 consistently, they don't understand that metric. Therefore many don't see the advantage of a higher average because it does not involve any advanced metrics.
