  1. No. They're fine. It's only difference to me is the announcers. And they do just fine.
  2. 2020 he finished 4th for ROY with a OPS+ of 153. This year an All-star with a career best 112 OPS+ ???
  3. So I just randomly looked at 3 teams from the past. 68 Tigers 69 Orioles. They both had 4 pitchers over 180 innings. With 6 of them going over 200 and 1 who pitched over 300 innings. They both played in the WS. So then I went to the other end and picked what is considered one of the worst teams in history. The 62 Mets had 3 pitchers well over 200 innings. So it wasn't just Nolan Ryan. It was expected. There's the famous Spahn vs Marichal game where Spahn who was in his 40s battled Marichal for 15 innings I believe.
  4. Did he score? He got killed on Monday. Deservedly so. On Tuesday the fan faves weren't torched nearly as bad.
  5. Nein! Sie ist nur immer am Sontag gershlossen.
  6. Cuz when Pettit gets on a roll, there's no stopping him.
  7. Jim Thome? 13 years where he played at least 130 games
  8. I'll revise it to 200. Ricky ran at will. It didn't matter if his team was up or down. With pitchers limited on tosses over and the bigger bags I think the year he stole 130 he might have been able to get to 200. If that was a goal of his.
  9. No one's complaining when the ump is squeezing the heck out of Crochet. Miranda helped him out.
  10. So the Twins need to be better than teams that got better. And they do this by doing nothing and having less to do it with. Pretty solid logic. All athletes should just strive to be better by doing less or having less than the previous year when they came up short.
  11. The Twins have Walker Jenkins a top 10 prospect who's future looks bright. If he continues to develop on an arc similar to let's just say someone like Langford. Eventually you will have to pay him in order to keep him. Right now his value as a trade piece is high. Why wouldn't a team trade a Jenkins or Holliday for a player like Skubal. I'd want to extend Skubal to complete the deal. I wind up with a frontline starter for several years. I might rue the day if my prospect turns out to be a Mookie Betts. Thats the risk. In the same token, if Skubal is that guy who gets me over that hump and brings a championship. That's the reward.. I'd make that trade every time. Lewis was a 1 1. He's a fine player but it was 6 years in the making. Lets just say Jenkins arrives in 26. I still have a prime Skubal for 1.3 years before he even arrives and another 3 or 4 depending on how long you extend him. But of course if my hands are tied by ownership there's not much I could do. JTOL.
  12. I was being sarcastic. They're 7-5 since the all-star break. So they have slowed down some. Point being, Twins have still lost ground to them
  13. Or a 3 year supply of soda for the clubhouse.
  14. "The Twins aren't in as good of position as I had expected them to be by now." Was that on a hunch? Or was that driven by statistics and all that regression that was sure to happen? Twins have KC breathing down their necks playing real good ball. Witt hitting nearly .500 for the month of July. Getting good pitching too. Cleveland has slowed down some yet still holds a larger lead than before the all-star break. Yeah they're just lucky. Those Fangraph % change dramatically with a 6 or 7 game winning or losing streaks. And I haven't even mentioned Correa who's dealing with Plantar fasciitis again. Albeit his other foot. If he comes back hitting near his career totals that's a plus. If he's last years version the Twins are in trouble.
