Is there anyone with worse collective stats with runners in scoring position than Byron? Struck out in the exact same situation yesterday
.141 average last year
.145 the year before.
I’m not that upset about Margot coming in. He’s had success against lefties but playing for 1 run there when you’re down 1-0 has an extremely low run expectation. Analytics will say that was a terrible decision.
Once again the twins are an analytic driven organization until they’re not. Pick one or the other. I understand that the lefty lefty matchup wasn’t ideal but to replace Julien for that was absolute insanity and the complete opposite of “analytics driven”
Removing your top OBP guy from last year who is due to come up 2 more times for an underwhelming righty to come into the game and lay down a first pitch bunt…with the bases loaded…and 2 outs.
One of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.
Varland is not a starting pitcher.
idk how many more times it needs to be said.
instead of getting a dominant reliever we’re forcing him to be a bad starter because there’s nobody else
Also super excited that the offense is trying to be anemic the first half of the season again
