    I redact my question. Thankyou, I wasn't complaining, but I also did not consider circumstances. Thankyou TD for all the content. I honestly really appreciate it!
  2. Twinsrtheworst
    I agree with above assessments. My question is do we want Rocco bringing in the next wave of talent? AK, Trevor, rest of the young guys?
  3. Twinsrtheworst
    I have to ask, are these articles produced by computer or some type of program? They seem to be similar to my CBS fantasy football recaps. ie..."as Donaldson allowed Baltimore to play make up and complete the double play"...I'm not complaining, but sounds like my auto generated fantasy football recaps. No mention that said player went 3 for 4. No emotion or opinion.

    I think he's saying hes undervalue him because many are predicting only a return of a 100 to 150th ranked prospect.
  5. Twinsrtheworst
    Great story my friend. Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately most people..including our front office believe pitcher wins is a useless stat.
  6. Twinsrtheworst
    I like the idea honestly. I wonder what the return on him could be compared to past trades of a comparable starter with 1 and a half years left. But please don't take quantity over quality in return as happens to many times.

    I have to ask...is RBI still a useless stat? Sounds like we could use a few of those.
  8. Twinsrtheworst
    Journalism trying to stir up controversy over what should be a 26th man. Click bait at its finest. Guess it worked on me though unfortunately

    Hey, but Larnach hit a ball 458 feet at 115 mph. Must count for at least 2 runs? Nope. Maybe if we highlited someone, anyone, not focus on how far a solo homerun went. Not bashing Trevor, but why does Twins Daily glorify the long home runs? I guess a long home run is better than a 2 rbi double. Oh, rbi stats don't count. Should work great for our team then. Go bombas.

    @jkcarew. Yes friend. Thankyou! Remember those days we'll. Would actually be able to pick up the games on radio from Cleveland Ohio. Had to be clear night and after 9pm. I could make out about 1 out of every 3 words. And of course when they came to town I'd cheer them on in the stands.

    I apologize. Just upset at our team. I've never been to Minnesota. I played for the Twins in teeball at the age of 5, and the Vikings in peewee football. My dad showed me how to read the sports page at that point, and I've been diehard since. This was 45 years ago, and 90 percent of my wardrobe references the Twins or Vikings. Just very dissapointed.
  13. Twinsrtheworst
    What..!? Are you telling me hard hit rate and barrel ball pct, and exit velocity don't matter with a runner on 2nd and no outs? I thought it was a contest to hit the hardest ball? I'm shocked that moving a runner over or hitting to the gap works. I thought for sure swinging for a 3 run Homer with nobody on was the way to go. Launch angle must need adjusted. Sarcasm. RBI is so meaningless. Why would anyone want to bat in a run. Smh
  14. Twinsrtheworst
    @ashbury, these Twins would be lucky to have that record....just saying
  15. Twinsrtheworst
    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.
  16. Twinsrtheworst
    Or do analytics not cover speed or base running? I'm guessing that is another unnecessary skill set?
  17. 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.
  18. Twinsrtheworst
    Great article. Thankyou for sharing.
  19. Twinsrtheworst
    Thanks for the laugh ashbury!

    Watching Sundays game. Why does the RBI Stat not matter again? Couldn't we use some this year?
  21. 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.
  22. Twinsrtheworst
    Ouch. These hurt. But as someone pointed out to me on another thread, we are top 5 in hard hit percentage.
  23. 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?
  24. 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?
  25. 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?
