    My crazy prognostication is that MLB will shrink the strike zone vertically this coming offseason. This will sort of accomplish what you’re talking about.

    I’m not super interested in defending Outman, but spotting him against a lefty (Because of the Buxton injury) isn’t setting him up for any possible success.

    Caratini might have challenged 2 of those ball calls (in the 4 pitch walk) if Bell hadn’t burned our first ABS challenge
  4. amjgt
    Man, our hitters gotta stop challenging in ultra low leverage situations

    Oops… wrong thread

    After the first strike of the Fralick AB there was a very brief graphic that popped up. I can’t get a freeze frame of it. It sort of looked like a live ABS

    I don’t think you have a good read on the rubes or TD

    If that remains a hit for Sal Perez, that should be final nail in the coffin for the “error” statistic.

    I love Keaschall, but an average 2B makes that out
  10. amjgt
    That’s 3 outs (With the Keaschall play) that our defense has given the Royals. When people complain about elevated pitch counts, we need to keep this in mind

    As punishment for his stupid ABS challenge, Shelton should make Wallner watch the last 90 minutes of this game on a loop for his next 4 team flights. Absolute torture. And filled with perfect examples why he can NOT do what he did.

    Well… Mick Abel pitched about 2 hours today.

    We’ve managed to shoot outselves in the foot AND get incredibly unlucky in the last 10 minutes

    Wellness check on Nick

    Kaelen with a 3-run jack to tie up the Saints game at 5 Royce must’ve gotten nervous because as I was typing the first part, Royce hit a homer!

    My problem with Kody batting lead off is that I view him as a very non essential part of this team and that he’s pretty redundant positionally. I was hoping he was going to have a pretty short leash on this roster, but the fact that he’s batting lead off makes me think that Twins leadership likely doesn’t view him as non essential and redundant

    If you're a baseball fan and you can't find at least a handful of things to be excited about on your team's opening day, then I think you're either just being stubbornly negative, or your baseline expectations as a sports fan are too high.

    This. 100% this

    I'm not a huge fan of referencing Vegas over/unders when talking about projected wins. Vegas is not setting lines where they think the results will be. They are setting the lines where they think they will get equal money on both sides.

    Wallner has had 13 months in his career with 20 or more plate appearances. In 10 of those 13 months he's had an OPS+ over 110.

    Probably true. His 50th percentile offensive outcome is probably a higher average than Larnach and a similar OPS, so mostly a wash overall. The advantage gained by Roden's defense probably offsets the known of Larnach's career health. He hasn't exactly been the picture of health, but he also hasn't really spent a ton of time on the IL. Maybe that's a little recency bias though. The 50th percentile health outcome for just about any major leaguer has to be below what Larnach has done health-wise for his career.

    I’m in the minority, but I have no problem with Outman making this team. It’s not a perfect fit of course, but he’s the type of guy that teams in the Twins situation need to take one last shot on. And if nothing else, he can be a defense first, speed guy. There’s a roll for that type of player on Major League rosters. And I wouldn’t actually want Roden filling that roll. I’d rather having him playing more often than that (on the Twins or Saints). Having Outman be the 5th OF is just fine to me. Not perfect, but fine. Larnach is the one truly blocking Rodon. I, like many others, just don’t see why he’s still a Twin. Once he was offered arbitration, it seemed inevitable, but as many have said, it just doesn’t make sense.
  23. amjgt
    I am high on Roden and low on Larnach, but if either Rodon or Gonzalez have Larnach’s career, realistically that’s probably above a 50th percentile outcome.

    What about the health of the AAA guys? Buxton played 1 less game last year (126) than Rodriguez and Jenkins’ combined totals between AA and AAA (127)

    Other than relitigating 2023 (which had completely different front office leadership), what exactly are the points trying to be made in this Gallo discussion. I feel like this tangent lost the plot about 5 posts ago.
