He has had more years of forgetting how to hit than hitting pretty good

Can Austin Martin Become Steven Kwan-lite?
old nurse replied to stringer bell's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Yup, going up and hitting the guy decisively when they are not where you threw the ball will make them be in the right spot next time.- 32 replies

Minnesota’s Three Unluckiest Hitters in 2025
old nurse replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Julian had 182 AB in 64 games. He had 40 hits for a .220 BA. Since walks and HBP are not going to change by the x stats xba will suffice for this. His xba was .247. He should have had 5 more hits, or 1 more hit every 12 games.- 27 replies

Minnesota’s Three Unluckiest Hitters in 2025
old nurse replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
https://www.mlb.com/glossary/advanced-stats/weighted-on-base-average X stats are expected outcomes based on what usually happens by statcast data -
An incremental improvement over Kreidler
-
They signed Kepler, Sano, Buxton, and Polanco to extensions It is not unreasonable to think that they would have talked to Berrios. It would also explain why they would trade him with a year and a half of control as it would be peak value.
-
You can’t say he would have signed here. You are making a supposition.
-
If what happened in Toronto has no bearing, you are complaining about trading a pitcher who would a free agent 3 years ago. You can’t say he would have signed here by your parameters. So you point out his ERA in Toronto is exactly the same as here, which is within hundredths of the same ERA as SWR. Berrios good years are better, his bad years are worse. So if over a career the outcome averages out to be the same you have no argument.
-
Is what you want in return for a pitcher is the about 40th pick in the draft? In his years in Toronto, his ERA has been 4.09. So really, your not changing much
-
So a league average ERA pitcher is nothing. If that is the way you want to see it, it is what it is.

If the .374 OBP is sustainable then he should be the leadoff hitter.- 32 replies

How quickly people forget that Cave’s first 2 years were when there was a juiced ball. Not that he hit a lot of HR, but it was a dramatic drop off with the change.- 32 replies

You made a statement about Falvey based on bias It wouldn’t matter what Falvey said, you will find a way to criticize.
-
Rick Rhoden is in his 70s. I don’t thick many people consider him young., either. Alan Roden at 26 might be considered young
-
The typical response from someone who lets bias get in the way of rationality
-
Yup, and to your posting a pitcher who has a league average ERA is a back of the rotation pitcher to be scorned
-
The irony is that in an article about Twins position players, trading one of those corner outfielders for one of their pitchers is not a bad idea

There is nothing complicated implied in his statement. There is complication when you tried to read into it

Rooker has said in a fan site he made adjustments to his swing.

Nice recap of how little is being done by teams. It is December perhaps in. 3 months getting upset might be in order
-
Gonzales is on the 40 man roster. The others were all available for the rule 5 draft but not selected. This is their make or break year. We shall see what happens

You call it word salad, I would say that he has seen the past criticisms and felt the need to explain what he meant by group of players
-
3 players had bad years last year. 2 are talked like the team needs to move on from them and the other is viewed as saintly, although he never played for the Saints
-
Nor is it ever a good doctrine to think the roster in November and December will be the April one. The comments of let the (not a lot games played at the major league level) players play and be given a chance to improve should also be shot down.
