    Note to the old folks - there's a chance I'm older. (I know of a few that that's not the case.)

    Candy Cummings pitched 497 innings one season. You just don't see that kind of stamina anymore.

    Time for a room-service triple play.

    I would like to take credit for the reverse-jinx, earlier, when I suggested Kreidler should bat 10th.
  6. ashbury
    KREIDLER!!!!
  7. ashbury
    I will confess, I do appreciate the notion of batting Kreidler 10th, the way you have it.

    Did you really find out? If Shelton never constructs a lineup significantly contrary to platooning, how do you know whether it "increase[s] our chances of winning?" All you are really measuring is whether an ever-varying roster did better against R or L starters. And the weird thing is that our best righty bats (Buxton, Jeffers and Keaschall) have had reverse-splits more or less, while most of the lefty batters have failed to clobber the same righty pitchers, amounting basically to a wash. Are the results an indictment of platooning, as I think you would have it? Or are they an indictment of the lefties themselves, like Wallner, Roden, and Gray who were or have been dreadful against RHP, and even Larnach and Clemens who have been good but not really clobberin' when the team needs somebody to be doin' exactly that on th' regular?

    Gotta be 17-year old Adrian Martinez with his gaudy 6.67 ERA, or else graybeard 20-year old Fernando Hernandez who clocked a microscopic 4.05 in lighter duty against these younger opponents.

    Narrator: "And none of them were ever heard from again." Hope that's not true. But watching the progress of 17-year olds isn't for the impatient.

    A major reason his OPS+ is as high as 121 is that he is shielded by his manager from left-handed pitching to a degree enjoyed by few other batters. The salary was only a secondary issue. The roster spot, given younger guys ready to get a chance, was bigger.

    The residents of the Twin Cities better hope the next owners provide some kind of improved outcomes, or else some soul-searching will be the next step - assuming enough of them even care. 😁

    With career Save #3, Travis Adams moves into a tie for 80th most in Minnesota Twins history.

    He was in the pool. He was in the pool.

    I'll be satisfied if he surpasses Eric Milton.

    Who? I actually don't recall.
  20. ashbury
    Oh, I understood the reference, and the "Narrator" angle was funny. I'm just saying that figuring things out against a starting pitcher with an ERA around 6 could be still a work in progress in the bigger picture.

    "It" being, how to hit Angels pitching Grayson Rodriguez?
  22. ashbury
    I mean no personal disrespect, but the main thing Derek Falvey knows about baseball analytics is to hire people who do.

    When I want to drink grapefruit juice I drink grapefruit juice. When I want to drink Pine-Sol I drink Pine-Sol. Hazy IPAs, of whichever variety, are just a waste of time.

    A pair of extra-inning games will do that to a staff.

    It's Pohlads all the way down.
