  1. Cameron in KC has an ERA of 2 something but did get beaten up by the Yankees. Sawyer Gipson-Long just came back from TJ and was pitching to a low 4 ERA. They are ot worse than Festa. Might ot be ay higher ceiling tha Fester either
  2. No, but there is somebody who will force you to comment on every article.
  3. They signed about 5 free agent minor league players in the last week. All wanted their chance. The it seems like the Twins do the sed Dow after the game more than others comment is being petty. You do’t know but you accuse.
  4. The also paid all of the staff eve whe there was othig for them to do during Covid
  5. McCusker does not seem to be in their plans. He is more likely than Keirsey to be sent down
  6. Zebby pitched to a higher FIP last year than SWR did this year. There is hope that he will pitch better the second stint in MLB. Likely he will.
  7. As the head of the organization has changed and the bottom line has become more difficult to maintain it would not be unreasonable to think service time matters
  8. He did not get hired to be the White Sox manager but they liked him enough to make him a special assistant in player development and scouting
  9. There should be no reason other than he coulld’t learn good outfield play, what makes it possible for him to learn good if play?
  10. How quickly people forget Jax has had a bit of a struggle this year
  11. The manager does not make trades, he des t sed players up or down, nor does he draft or develop them. He is not the trainer nor the conditioning coach. The Twins’ problems are not anything he has control over. So no he can’t fix the problem nor could any other manager
  12. Three games against one of the teams that was one of the worst drawing road teams last year really means nothing. Agenda over reality strikes again
  13. Nuance is lost here when it comes to pitching. When a Twins pitcher has thrown over 80 pitches by the end of the fourth, they don’t start the fifth. At around 85, they don’t start the sixth. The upper limit on pitches seems to be 100. Paddack seems limited to 80 so far. The bullpen might have a pattern of rest depending on how many pitches thrown over a given period of time for the higher leverage relievers. That would require actual work to follow that usage. College now has very specific rules on number of pitches and days of rest. It is not unreasonable to think the Twins do not have the same.
  14. Hunter Green’s pitch count was low enough that they let him pitch into the 9th inning. 104 pitches. The number of innings a pitcher goes is dependent on the number of pitches. The Twins’ pitchers would be pitching later into games if they were could induce whiffs on outside pitches like Greene was yesterday. Pitch counts are generally located at the bottom of the box score.
  15. Before last season Margot had a career OPS as a pinch hitter somewhere around .200. Expecting or hoping to do better was a mistake in scouting. It was a mistake to continue to use him as a PH. If the goal of the trade was a backup CF, the trade was neither a win nor a loss. If it was for how they used him, they should have done better. They took a contract off the Dodgers bankroll for a prospect 10 mil is a lot for a prospect. I guess we will have to wait and see if the hitting develops. If it doesn’t become passable then the trade is a win.
  16. Taylor had an OPS worse than Margot last year.
  17. One could hardly tell the difference last year between Skubal or Sale pitching versus what Ober was doing. Sure thing
  18. When they announced what the bullpen was for the Saints I commented that it looks like the bullpen will be on DFA candidates for the big league team. Dobnak surely knew that he would have a DFA or two in his future. Any time the long man goes long, it will be vacation time in St Paul
