    Its about a 15 minute interview with Doogie.... For Twins fans, well worth the podcast listen ("The Scoop")
  2. Whammy
    Twins are 17-18 in the final game of a series this year. 49-24 in all other games

    Bert: “7 shutout innings against the St. Louis Cardinals, a very good hitting ball club” (StL is 25th in BA and 23 in OPS)
  4. Whammy
    The Twins have more runs scored in the first 5 innings (386) that the Tigers (373) and Marlins (383) do in all innings.

    What is it about year 4 that makes you say that? Almost all of our top 10 prospects are at AA or higher. With a reasonable hit rate and the remaining players from our current roster, the window should be longer than 3 years. Not that I think that should preclude us from acting aggressively now, I’m just curious why you think the window is that short.

    Generally, I agree with you, but the existence of Ian Kennedy and his contract makes us relatively sure that if the Twins were willing to pony up money (and almost nothing in terms of prospects), they could make a significant improvement to the bullpen. For most other guys, I agree with you. You never know what other teams are asking for.

    This may have been stated but people are typing as fast as I can read this thread, so I skipped ahead... If the trade deadline comes and goes and nothing happens, that's just unacceptable. Ian Kennedy is the reason I'll be mad. We know that if a team offered KC a C-level prospect for Ian Kennedy (with no salary relief) the Royals would jump at it. Basically, all he costs is money. Is Ian Kennedy worth 16M next year? Of course not, but at that point, it would just be about the money and that's not an acceptable excuse for the Twins at this point. Not that I need it to be Ian Kennedy, but I just don't see any other team that is desperate enough to say "yeah, we'll take on that whole salary" so, taking on Ian Kennedy's $22M remaining money is the absolute floor of acceptability. If you're not willing to part with the required prospect capital, then you need to part with actual capital.

    Since the big bases clearing 3-run double by Cruz on 6/26 that beat the Rays...... [warning graphic content] Bases Loaded: 26 Plate Appearances 1 Hit (Kepler, single - 1 RBI) 1 Hit by Pitch 2 Catchers Interference 2 Ground Outs that generated a run 3 SF 5 Strikeouts 5 Double Plays 7 Other Outs Triple Slash: .050/.153/.050 The Twins generated 27 outs in 26 PA This was way more work than it should have been. I literally looked through the play-by-play for each game. But, hey, no Twins tonight.

    Did Jeter ghost write that?
  10. Whammy
    People seem to be conflating "replacement level" and "league average" WAR isn't like ERA+ and OPS+ where league average is literally manipulated to 100. As an example Max Kepler was considered below league average offensively the last two years (OPS+ of 95 and 97), but still had a positive oWAR (1.4 and 1.7)
  11. Whammy
    Oh my. Egg meet face
  12. Whammy
    The Twins have a larger differential in team HR compared to 2nd place (205 vs 177) as 2nd place does to 15th place (177 vs 151)
  13. Whammy
    SOUNDS LIKE A RECORD!!!!!!!
  14. Whammy
    Yeah... Feels about right, assuming the Diamondbacks aren't overly concerned with Graterol's shoulder. Now, assuming both teams would take that deal, would you rather trade that package for 1.5 years of Robbie Ray or 2.5 years of Matthew Boyd
  15. Whammy
    I feel like the "something else" would have to be a little more highly thought of than Gordon as opposed to the way you lay it out which makes me assume you're talking about more of a 16-25 ranked player in our system.
  16. Whammy
    Robbie Ray feels like a very slightly better version of Matthew Boyd with but one year less of team control.
  17. Whammy
    I wonder if we turned back the clock to last November and replaced “Romo” with “Cron” the threads would read almost identically.
  18. Whammy
    This feels like the kind of deal that’s made to get an incremental amount of leverage on other teams you might be dealing with to get relief pitching
  19. Whammy
    I assume Romo isn’t signed past this year?
  20. Whammy
    This ump’s zone is... umm.... selectively large. And not in the Twins’ favor
  21. Whammy
    At least on that 6th pitch, Schoop finally swung at a strike (barely)
  22. Whammy
    Has Poppen been optioned yet?
  23. Whammy
    The most 20+ HR hitters in a season, by an MLB team, is 7. Done many times. We are certainly tracking to break that
  24. Whammy
    Next time a runner gets caught in a run down, I guess they should just run into a defender after that defender gets rid of the ball. Seek them out.
  25. Whammy
    Can we get Buxton a smaller mouth guard? Looks like he’s got a damn orange in there
