I do give him credit that each of those three was a valuable run. Twice he put his team to an early 1-0 lead, and the other homer raised a lead from 2-1 to 3-1. That's qualitatively different from last year. The problem is that the rest of his 2026 so far has been Death by a Thousand Cuts. Which is not qualitatively different from last year.- 48 replies

If he's not already under contract then fire the front office! 😁

As the numbers last year bear out: didn't work when they tried that.

The problem with this narrative is that, yes, stolen bases were up and sacrifice bunts were up in August and September, but actual run scoring per game was not up compared to June when they went 9-18 and the die was becoming cast. The operation was a success but the patient didn't get better.

This season remains small sample size, and even more so if you split those stats even one way. Nevertheless, you will not like the shape of his 2026 splits so far, bases-empty versus men-on, if you look (before or after today's game). The post you replied to was an attempt to provide balance, but the overall picture for situational hitting remains Not Good. I appreciate a home run that puts his team up by a run, but overall his WPA remains "death by a thousand cuts" that outweigh the good of those solo shots.

Well shoot. Revising.... Third place, bay-beeee!

Can't give you .500 but here's a screenshot of when we were 0 games under .500

Concur. Agreed!

Wait. You're giving up??? Three to tie, four to win.

I don't even know what I'm talking about.

unJustifiable Topa.

If we cut a reliever every time they lose a game for us ... hm, what's the major league record for DFA's in a season anyway, over 100?
-
Topa. Grrrr.
-
He's had stretches where he swings through fastballs. Gotta hope he hasn't hit the 10-year warranty and now can't be fixed.

That or forfeit would seem to be the options for our guys.

Here we go, Wally, here we go!

Twins looking into whether they can put in a waiver claim on any pitchers with a last name of Hospital. Preferably one with significant military experience.
-
A Wallner solo shot, even if they bring in a lefty, wouldn't be out of the question.

Color me surprised.
