    Arraez leads in batting average right now. That does not make him a batting champion. The allure of a batting leader is different than a champion

    The team is not scoring as much as they should. Statistically by OPS. If there is such a thing as regression to the mean it would indicate the Twins will score more runs in the future WPA by team the Twins are at 2.04 right now. . That is not an indication of failure or mediocrity. For those who say that the Twins hit too many solo home runs I would say prove it

    When you look at trades Miranda might yield a very good reliever with a high upside and another pitching prospect thrown in. The only way Miranda brings back a high level starter is he is the second piece with the first piece being a high upside starting pitching prospect. Another month of data on Archer, Gray and Ryan is still needed to see if such a trade is prudent. My guess would be don’t hold your breath for a trade. If Smeltzer continues his strong work and Winder comes back strong it would be more likely Archer would get traded before Miranda. Miranda turns 24 at the end of the month. Thanks for the joke that he is an older prospect.

    Historically it seems like the Twins have a famine offense every October. Then again it seems most teams have a famine when they lose. When does something measure what it claims to? Is it possible given all of the variables you can’t for sure know because the same conditions will not last long enough to normalize. Losing 5-1 is no different than 5-0. The number of shutouts is not significant

    Welcome to the internet. No need for facts. I am also amazed that being in last place while at 4-8 is forgotten in the opening paragraph.

    As the deadline approaches what is available becomes clearer. Bullpen rentals looks like the most need and usually only cost lottery tickets. Hopefully those lottery tickets are not the equivalent of Ynoa Considering the previous trades, the Twins have very few Ryan era prospects left to trade. Ynoa, Giza, Gill, Davis, Wade and Graterol were all Ryan era players. Enlow Leach and Balazovic are about it

    If what Correa has done is overlooked given that is what his salary calls for him to do I would begin to wonder if people overlooking are blind, deaf, and dumb with troll tendencies

    Team wise the Twins. They actually have the same FIP which would suggest bad times for Pineda, better luck Bundy. Pineda vs Bundy, they are both winners for the salary they got
  9. old nurse
    Pineda still would have been a better choice than Bundy. Bundy had a few good starts at the beginning of the season but then Covid. I can understand looking for a healthy pitcher rather than Pineda, but the current hindsight says, made a mistake there.

    You are correct on Montas https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=montafr02&year=Career&t=p

    Scherzer, Bassett, Berrios, Gray, and Manaea all had pitching prospects come back for their former teams. What starting pitchers in the minors would the FO give up? I would not bet this FO makes a trade for a SP unless it is yet another of what the people here call a back of rotation type..

    With injuries being such a problem I would think trades might be easier done than said. It might get the Phillies under the cap so the price might be reasonable but Hand, Gibson and their other decent reliever are on expiring contracts. Might not be a large cost in terms of decent prospects. Of course 5 years later when a prospect is having a decent few weeks there will be complaining, but at this time it seems like a good idea

    If Duffey doesn’t give up any runs the Twins still lose. There are a lot of ifs for the outcome of the game to have been any different

    GOAT of first 1/3 season? Luis Arraez

    At the AAA level you have AAAA players that are need by the parent club to field a competitive club to fill out the roster and be needed in case of emergency. Look at some of the catchers at AAA, middle infielders and center fielders the Twins have had recently.
  16. old nurse
    Older players are playing at upper levels because that is where their talent is at. It should not be a consideration at the AAA level for a player Something always happens. A spot will open

    I have worked with this form the last two plus years. Sorry I don’t keep sources available for you. It is called knowing what you need to know for your job
  18. old nurse
    Sorry to burst your bubble but they have found organ damage and respiratory. Issues in younger people after Covid. The fave also found the fatigue lingers
  19. old nurse
    The internet is full of poorly stated points. In that regards you are not unique. Admitting it is
  20. old nurse
    The last paragraph pretty much summed up the problem. It is worse for the bullpen despite all the number of pitchers on the 40 man roster
  21. old nurse
    Your scouts have to have a good eye on HS pitchers. Berrios, Bungartner, Cole, Greinke, Thor, Wheeler were all HS pitchers when drafted. So was Bundy and a whole lot of others. Same holds true for college pitchers.,

    I am sorry that I didn’t take the time to look up when and where Green said it I did not say that Pittino did not say it, only that Green did . It seemed appropriate to be referencing the Twin Cities and not Boston. I would be certain that plenty of other people said it before Green or Pittino. Anybody who is a target of the negativity has probably muttered it. I even thought it while reading the pages here when the Twins were 4-8
  23. old nurse
    That’s was a Denny Green line

    Statistics show that even an average base stealer will cost the team more runs than they will gain. When base stealing is left to the more talented at it the catchers throwing people out percentage will go down HR per team is at about 1 per game per team. That is historical average. Runs are at around where they have always been. So either runs are coming via the grand slam, or there is still old fashioned baseball. Except of course, the out to make an out

    Odo lost his start, as did Dobnak. End result wouldn’t have changed Baldelli had Gordon sacrifice the other night. Is that old school enough. The problem with eye tests is the objectivity of the eyes.
