    With Ryan it may depend on how good the other team hit HR. In the 6 games he has pitched in he has given up 4 HR. If Twin bats have been quiet enough for concern, giving up a HR would ba a concern.

    In a 2 win series one pitcher gets you only half the way there. Winning baseball is a team effort. It will take a few of the hitters to come through.

    We shall see how they do in the playoffs. Then you will have an answer to if they were right on their bet, Being the 8th best team in the AL while playing in a weak division is not n endorsement of their acumen

    Pitch count will determine how many innings they pitch. They rarely let them go over 100 for a game. They should get through 6. If all is going well. 7 with efficiency. Less if it is hammered time Hopefully it is hammer time. Can’t touch this.

    When there are 3 bad teams in your division, 11 bad to mediocre teams in the NL and 4 other bad to mediocre teams in the AL, I don’t see how the numbers can balance out.

    For the first round playoffs the other AL team hosting would be Tampa. I don’t think who would draw the most viewers would be an issue. It is not like either team is a draw. Toronto, Texas and Seattle. 2 of the three. Again, not that big of a draw. ABC/ESPN doesn’t have an interest in Canada The analysis of who should play should be off how the players have hit off the better pitching. That is a split that is not readily available.

    Wins seems to matter. Eflin is the only pitcher to win half of his starts and pitch the whole season.. He better be in the mix for the award. Better include Kyle Gibson in the mix, he has 14 wins as well as Bassit and Luis Castillo. Wins do seem to muddy the pitcher. Err picture

    East coast bias, both ways. Some could think Gausman is doing better than Cole, Some could thing Valdez in Houston. Maybe Ohtani gets a vote. Gray’s best hope is to be in second place on all of the ballots that he is not on first

    Nice starts by the players. It isn’t always the fastest horse out of the gate

    Dean Chance threw 17 innings of relief. The other 647 innings were as a starter. 34 complete games will eat innings. A Twins fan who did not realize Chance was a starter? Who woulda thunk that?

    Severino will be 24 in 3 weeks. Many people consider that getting old for a prospect

    Over the last 2 years Jax has pitched the 6th most innings of any reliever. They need to give his arm a rest. He did not start relieving until last year. His arm might e getting a little worn

    The left handed pitcher problem will not be solved this month or next month. It would not hurt the Twins to sign as many LH pitchers who will be minor league free agents and sign them with an invite to spring training. Then you would at least have batting practice pitchers for a while. The Twins batting coaches seem to be more about mechanics than adjustments. I could be wrong on the coaches. When there have been numerous times words about hitters needing to make adjustments, either they are willfully not doing it, or do not know what adjustments to make. One is a player problem, one is a coach problem

    Wing on the all time Milb Twins HR list does not look like a good long term career move to gain stardom

    I think there is mud, a wall, and throwing motion in this story. I might e a little forgetful but it seemed like at one time TD was about what was actually going on during the season

    Paddocks average fastball velocity with San Diego was 94.1, 94.1, 94.9 so his fastball returned to what it was.

    GIDP like RBI is a stat of opportunity. A negative one,, but still opportunity. 45 RBI other than himself is a stat of opportunity . Now if he batted lead off the numbers would look different as the 7/8/9 hitters are less likely to be on base as the usual ones have a sub .300 OBP.

    Whoever said Royce Lewis was going to be normal?

    Gordon hasn’t even been sent on a rehab assignment so at this point it is much ado about nothing. True there still is enough time to get in a rehab assignment. There is not enough time to get him a rehab assignment and enough time to get him adjusted to mlb. He is not that good of a player. Not a bad player, either. A rehab assignment is inn order as a disaster plan. Depending on what you think you might need. One more CF going down is about the only scenario. Larnach can cover the other OF positions.

    A 1970s Oakland Athletics player. IIRC they were winners

    If the bast is any indication of what the Mets would trade for you need to look at the trades they made. Robertson, Verlander and Scherzer went for 21 and under high ceiling prospects. I don’t think this FO would make that kind of deal for 1 year of Alonso and a later comp pick. Larnach and lottery tickets perhaps. September, pennant races, playoffs, I suppose it is never too early to shift to fantasy GM time

    WPA/Li would order it Jullian solano Polanco Jeffers Wallner Castro Kirillloff Taylor Lewis Buxton Most valuable depends on what you want to count

    Julien is no longer a prospect. The fans have turned on him
  24. old nurse
    Probably what is holding him back is the 33% k rate

    Atlanta has done some amazing things. Acura, Ozuna, Olson, and Morton all on very team friendly contracts and the team appears to be healthy every season
