    In context, it's expected for at least one run to score with a runner on 2B with no out.
  2. cHawk
    Not necessarily with the first one. Of the 53 runs they’ve scored, only 22 of them have come via HR. The second one is spot on but not the first one. If you look at last year, many games they would only score on HRs. It’s looked a bit different thus far.
  3. cHawk
    A runner on 2nd with no out is a 1.068 run expectancy. I’d say it’s more the on the hitters for not scoring 3/3 times in that scenario.

    “Alex Colome is a problem” He shouldn’t be the closer. Put him on in the 6th or maybe the 7th. Robles or Rogers or Duffey should be the closers. Except no Colome tomorrow please...he needs a day or two off. What is Wes doing with Colome? All of the sudden he looks like absolute @$$. I am concerned about the pen but I’m not going to freak out. In 2019, our bullpen looked like this at the beginning, and it pulled itself together. But for now, adjustments need to be made. Colome should not be the closer. Alcala or Rogers or Robles should.

    I have a joke. The front office.

    But what about Innings 1-9? They've done a better job of stringing base hits together this year so far. Even then, it's too early to say that the situational hitting will be "pathetic" all season long. When they've had runners at 2nd and 3rd, they've gotten them in for the most part in Innings 1-9. It obviously has been in the 10th Inning but not "often times" in all innings.
  7. cHawk
    You do make a good point, BUT... Let's look at a thing called run expectancy: https://library.fangraphs.com/misc/re24/ If you look at the table, you'll see the spot with a runner on 2nd with 0 outs. The number is 1.068. This means that more often than not, at least one run scores. So, what's a bigger problem: The offense putting up a goose egg 3/3 times in that scenario, or the bullpen giving up one run 3/3 times in that scenario? I still don't think this is a championship bullpen but saying these 3 losses have been SOLELY the bullpen's fault is inaccurate.

    May is really the only arm I miss. Nobody is mourning the loss of Romo. Nobody. Did you see that guy last year? How so obviously cooked he was? Wisler might be a one shot wonder, infact, he sure looks like one now. Clippard...would've been nice to bring back, but he isn't exactly young either.
  9. cHawk
    Burn the extra inning rule to the ground. But Chief is right. The bullpen has not looked like a championship quality bullpen. Colome right now reminds me of Romo, and that isn’t a good thing. I mean I can’t blame Rogers, because that run he gave up was an unER. But what was with the 0-2 pitch? 86mph? Where was the clutch hitting? Sano? You couldn’t knock ONE guy in? You watched an easily hit table pitch go by and walked back to the dugout? I want to see Rocco hold his players accountable for shtick like that. Also in extras, you can’t knock the runner on 2nd in in THREE tries? I mean I’m not going to give up on Colome yet but I’m worried he may be cooked. Not worried about Rogers. Worried about this team’s ability to “get it done” when things NEED to be done.

    I don’t see why we can’t extend both Buxton and Berrios. Buxton probably ~20-25 Million and (at most) ~20ish Million for Berrios in the process. Could we raise payroll to ~160-170 Million?
  11. cHawk
    Watch him play. That’s why would should believe in him. If they trade him or let him walk, I won’t be happy. Trading him seems like something Cleveland would do. I don’t want to do that. That is how you end up with a long title drought. We probably should’ve extended him before the season NGL. Looks like his payday will be a lot more (~20-25 Million a year). Regardless, please extend him. He’s worth every penny
  12. cHawk
    They may already have one.
  13. cHawk
    We’ll need to continue to be hot like this for the next few weeks. It looks like it will be some time until we face a real opponent so we should pick up as many wins as we can.
  14. cHawk
    Exactly. It’s the offense’s fault they couldn’t do squat with runners at the corners and nobody out.
  15. cHawk
    Do tell how Rosario’s abscence impacted this game.
  16. cHawk
    The only thing that would is if it actually did just that.

    Tomorrow we will see what this offense is (inconsistency-wise). I’m not concerned about the ‘pen ultimately losing the game today. We obviously did not get it done with RISP today. That led to a pathetic offensive performance. And it’s not like Casey Mize or Fulmer or Soto are great pitchers or anything. Last year, we were inconsistent AF offensively, and there were stretches of 4 or 5 games where our offense would just be dead. This is one game. If we see a bad performance offensively once (one game) in a while that’s not a problem. That’s normal. I’m not concerned about the ‘pen losing the game. That was (once again) a product of the awful extra innings rule. Happ didn’t last long...that’s concerning, especially against Detroit. Look for the offense to bounce back tomorrow or not.
  18. cHawk
    Or he just stopped trying in garbage time.
  19. cHawk
    Back to back blowouts. Offense lookin’ good. SP lookin’ good. Concerned about the injuries. Losing Arraez is a big hit to the lineup. The Twins clearly benefit from the guy being in the lineup and 100%. Buxton should hopefully be back tomorrow. Dobnak - I know it’s early, but he doesn’t even look like a pro-class pitcher from what we’ve seen from him these first two appearances. I’d say send him down and bring up maybe Balazovic?
  20. cHawk
    Blame the offense then. Or Rocco. Or the Defense for giving up FOUR unearned runs. Or Colome (an experienced Major Leaguer who has been one of the league’s best closers the past five years) for being a moron. If Colome isn’t a moron, or if the defense doesn’t repeatedly self-destruct throughout the game we don’t play that 10th Inning.
  21. cHawk
    Sadly, the Vikings are an ~.500 team too (with where the roster is now, it could of course change)
  22. cHawk
    To be fair, Burnes' pitches were perfectly executed and on the money almost every time.
  23. cHawk
    No
  24. cHawk
    Why do you say this? Because of the lack of offense? 96 mph cutters will shut down any offense.
  25. cHawk
    Why on earth would Rocco yank Berrios? Let the man get his first career no-hitter! In any case, glad to see the pitching and defense holding strong today. Am a little worried about Colome, he looked shaky. On the flip side, what's with the offense? Yes, Burnes absolutely balled out today but not getting a single hit thru 6? In all seriousness, I don't like what I'm seeing from Sano. If he doesn't clean up his act he should be sent down. Also, are both of our catchers going to be offensive liabilities this year?
