    I would argue that that facade (or misbelief) has actually given us Morris, Rojas, and Preilipp (and maybe even Abel) before i would have otherwise expected to see them. Whether it's Tom Pohlad not wanting to look silly with his "contending" comments and pushing the FO to find fixes, or whether it's Jeremy Zoll realizing he's probably on a pretty short leash with ownership and wanting to do his best to make ownership look as good as possible..... Doesn't matter to me which of those it is. I like the new-found pitching/bullpen urgency and can't wait to see some of it on the position player side of things.

    Yeah. I think it needs a little flavor added to it. But I was happy with the main premise. White Kastle White ꓘastle Maybe tweak this logo to add the "K" instead of the "C" and make the background home plate instead of the Castle.

    To be honest, I just don't believe the post-deadline spin. The main reason I don't believe it is because if Morosi really did mess up that bad (and it would've been a historically bad mess up) then way more would have come out of it. The Twins (rightfully) would've raised absolute hell. Morosi would have had to do a big mea culpa. And to be honest, that might not have been enough. But instead it got the "incorrect report" treatment and everyone just moved on. Not buying it. This isn't me blaming anyone. The Twins probably should have traded Joe Ryan. The Red Sox (depending on the outgoing players) probably would have benefitted from getting him. And Morosi likely did report a trade that was theoretically about to happen. But when it didn't happen, damage control was needed. So, they sort of threw Morosi under the bus, but also didn't really raise a stink because they knew Morosi was at least mostly correct. It's neither here nor there now, but I refuse to just blindly believe what they are telling us, when most of it really doesn't make logical sense.

    LOL. Can you imagine the shitstorm if they had traded Lewis after the 2023 playoffs? You might as well also say that the Twins should've traded Morneau the day before his concussion. What a miss by the Twins.

    This raised a random question in my mind. If there is 1 out and a player on 1B, if the batter hits into a double play, does that count as a player left on base?
  7. Whammy
    It feels like Luke Keaschall has left an insane number of batters on base over the last couple weeks. He has. In the last 2 weeks he's left 29 men on base, which is 5th most in the league. However Ian Happ has an even more insaner 42 men left on base in the last 2 weeks. 42. Wow. For the season, Keaschall is tied for 6th in the league with 51 total LOB, which is the most on the Twins. BUT... Wallner has more LOB per AB than Keashall. Wallner has 0.59 LOB/AB (7th highest in MLB), whereas Keaschall has 0.52 LOB/AB, which is tied with Caratini for 2nd most on the team.

    I wonder if, league-wide, there's a correlation between change in walk rate and player height. The thesis statement being "tall players will walk less and short players will walk more." It could be that it's too early to know for sure because the samples are too small, but the thesis does seem logical.

    I've never viewed that as an "ask" situation. Seems to me that it would be the organization telling the players where they would like them to play (or learn to play), but maybe I'm wrong.
  10. Whammy
    Just to tie a bow on this. Take this with as large of a grain of salt as you’d like… The Wallner ball had a 60% catch probability (Buxton’s had 30%, BTW)
  11. Whammy
    Is everyone else’s TV volume very inconsistent for this broadcast or is that just my TV?
  12. Whammy
    Strong disagree.
  13. Whammy
    No. Not really. But I would’ve liked for him to try harder to be part of the solution.
  14. Whammy
    Like that, Matt
  15. Whammy
    I need you to sell out for that ball, Wallner
  16. Whammy
    You must have it on mute. Provus just said his height and weight a couple minutes ago.
  17. Whammy
    Can’t go up.
  18. Whammy
    6’-2” little guy?

    What I find interesting about all of this is that we, as a society that has soooooo many larger things to care about, are still so offended by the middle finger.
  20. Whammy
    I mean… we basically did trade him to Boston, right? It just didn’t get in before the deadline. I’ll be permanently curious who was coming the Twins direction in that trade
  21. Whammy
    Hey Tom, that’s what a real effing bullpen looks like
  22. Whammy
    “Royce Lewis Rumors Surface” is giving way too much weight to what seems like Jim Bowden needing 500 words on random ways to try to fix the Red Sox
  23. Whammy
    The Minnesota media and fans have been pretty hard on Royce (somewhere deserved), but can you imagine what the Boston media/fans would be like in the same circumstances?
  24. Whammy
    It's different, but it reminds me of many people insisting that Ober can't succeed at 89MPH. Is it more difficult to succeed there? Yes. Is it impossible? No. I wish he was back at 91/92, but the reality is that he's not, and he might never get back there. He will either flame out because of it or he'll figure it out. I'll let his actual results tell me that answer, not what people insist is going to happen.
  25. Whammy
    No there weren't.
