After 40 years of profits the Pohlads are not going anywhere
-
The playoff money is divide by how far each team goes. To get a top of the line pitcher, a quality left hand reliever, and a rh bat OF that can pinch hit they would have probably needed more than to be a divisional round loser (about 5 million). Then there is the prospect capital. Having been fleeced twice at a trade deadline there would be difficult negotiations.

Which half season was Lopez actually effective?
-
The organization is very tilted towards analytics and theoretical mechanics. Expect more of the same.
-
He is still at work, he is the Yankees hitting coach.

Everyone does not say what you claim such lengths people go is amazing

That is your opinion that the Twins were near the bottom in DRS, UZR 159 and middle of the pack in OAA it is justifiable to look at FIP rather than ERA only when he pitches for the Twins.
-
The Twins pitchers has the seventh best FIP in baseball and the coach gets a bad grade despite having 1/4 of the starting pitching innings being done by rookies and over 1/4 of the relief innings thrown by players who were at some point DFA’d. There is something wrong with this picture.

Why do people have to be such *******s?

Worst manager ever yet somehow has been in the top 5 for manager of the year 3 out of the six years he has managed. So who is the better judge of what is a person’s talent?
-
This FO never wanted Molitor as the manager. They did nothing to improve the team so he couldn;t replicate his first season. Baldeli may well be gone after this year with all of the DFAs they gave him for a bullpen.

So you thought at the start of the season the had a World Series team?
-
But what if the players are pretty much playing up to their capabilities?

Thielbar’s lefty split for the season is a .611 ops. It is not .529, but it is not bad. His last 4 games he ha not given up a run.
-
I think Dobnak is going to get a paid vacation next year.
-
It is not predictions as much as it is looking at recent past performances and outcomes. Baseball the inference between good and great can be very fine. Start starting pitchers have clunkers. A mediocre pitcher has the only perfect game in baseball history. Batters have 0fers and OPS 1.000 for series. Never know when it is going to happen. You were mostly right with the competent pitcher, but they do have to have the fortitude to rise a little higher.
-
After Kershaw came off the DL he wasn’t the same pitcher. Javier had a poor season. His prior seasons were more than just a capable pitcher
-
So not being around when the Twins are losing means he thinks he is the smartest person in the room. Wow. That is one big leap
-
I suppose the front office could have not signed Santana and Margot and non tendered Farmer so they had money for deadline deals. Of course if the Padres don’t make a deep run in the playoffs is moving half of your top prospects worth it
-
So many years with lack of playoff success and the fans haven’t figured out one pitcher alone will not do it. Two pitcher will not do it.. A team needs three capable starters

You would feel worse if the season ended for the Twins long before the Saints

It would look to me to be workload management There seems to be a lot of pitchers getting on the worn down side after pitching more innings than they ever have before. That is what happens when you have a staff of either developing or oft injured pitchers

Batting fifth or sixth is no different than earlier in the lineup. They would be reduced stress if they were batting in the number 8 and 9 slot. If two runners get on in the first inning, and have not scored the pressure is on the 5 hitter if there are still runners on when 6 comes up, there is still pressure. After the first inning the exact place in the lineup becomes less relevant. Without the 40-50 HR type ibatting cleanup, the cleaning crew falls to the next hitters

How Carlos Correa has stacked up against the rest of 2023's free agent shortstop class
old nurse commented on singlesoverwalks's blog entry in Saul Krachinski
There are ways to look at things statistically that really have no bearing on reality
