    Says you

    4 innings and 90 pitches per outing doesn't equate to pitcher of the month. In fact I would go the exact opposite and say that Archer and his short starts are one of the biggest reasons for taxing the bullpen. What happened to "slowly stretching his starts" due to his missing spring training?

    The TD GMs are all for trading Sano to this club or that club for this guy or that guy. So if you really were a GM what would you give up to acquire him. NOTHING! If he is traded he'll be a toss in part of a larger deal.
  4. Schmoeman5
    Oh. I'll just bet there's 8 people in all of Minnesota who can't wait to go see Sano play in St.Paul. His wife and children and his parents. Thatll be a tough ticket to buy for sure

    So you've stated that pitchers roles have changed. And Twins fans expect Rocco to throw Pagan under the bus. And pitching coach and bullpen coach are all involved in decision making. Then why do they keep putting him in the same high pressure situations when they can clearly see his struggles over the past 10 days and realistically all season long. Pagan escaped blown saves 3 or 4 times earlier in the season and everyone saw that the law of averages will come back to bite you. So this hasn't been just a last 10 days thing. This is who he was in San Diego and in Minnesota

    So am I reading this correctly. We are to rejoice the fact that the Twins have control of Pagan for 1 more year and a damaged Paddack vs Rogers who would have a nice payday due at the end of 2022 for a 40+ save season. Well hallelujah. That's why the Twinkies struggle. A reliever of that caliber plus Duran can take a team deep into October. But hell yeah, the twins get to groundhog day with Pagan for 2023

    Why is it such an issue that Correas defensive measures are down. Not having bregman to his right or altuve to his left accounts for the range factor. Are Keplers numbers down when Buxtons not in CF? I'll bet they are.
  8. Schmoeman5
    Nope
  9. Schmoeman5
    Tell that to Steve Carlton

    Statistics can be manipulated easily. Just by changing the variables or by changing the value + or - of a variable.

    The secret is no longer secret now, thanks to this article. All teams the Twins face for the rest of 2022 are furiously looking at the tape and trying to find ways of slowing him down
  12. Schmoeman5
    To suggest the Twins quit is crazy talk. The Yankees bullpen did a real good job. I didn't see any panic Twins hitters faces. Their bullpen was better. True, there were several defensive lapses and to all the Urchela lovers. Someone needs to tell him he's not Usain Bolt. He's not even Austidillo. He runs like he's pulling a boat anchor. Those mistakes were the difference as well as hanging a couple pitches to a guy hitting a buck fifty. I didn't see anyone cowering in fear. The 22-19 run diffential for the series suggests that. Clean up a few things and they're good. FANS might be afraid but the players, I doubt it

    So it went from utterly barren to what? Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard.
  14. Schmoeman5
    Uh huh
  15. Schmoeman5
    He's joining Kody Clemens and Ohtani as 2 way players

    There are times when I do question Baldellis moves. The pitching side I believe is pre-determined before each game by Falvinelli. It's his bench moves that gets me. At least 6 or 7 times this year he's done the Garlick for Larnach substitution around the 6th or 7th inning. Garlick starts vs lefties Larnach vs righties. No issue there. But as soon as Garlick or Larnach are announced the opposing manager Immediately counters that move with a pitching substitution that negates any advantage the metrics show. With the bench already thinned out you lose any advantage you might gain with a ph later in games. Other times he subs in the whole bench en masse on days where Buxton is not under any circumstances available. That and maybe some occasional small ball just to mix things up.

    I keep hearing throw away games. What exactly is that? You play 162 games. How many of these "throwaway" does a team get. If a team finishes 1 or 2 games out of a playoff spot does said team get to rub a genie lamp for a do over on those games?
  18. Schmoeman5
    Garlick the lefty slayer should have been sufficient to win this game single handedly
  19. Schmoeman5
    Thank you. 100% in agreement
  20. Schmoeman5
    Unfortunately they already have sold their collective souls to analytics. Pitching and hitting. Last night there was no one on the bench after the 7th inning except Polanco and he wasn't going in regardless. He subs in his bench en masse. So he lost gordon as a potential pinch runner in the 9th for example. Baldelli is doing everything by the Falvey/Levine playbook.
  21. Schmoeman5
    I'm not responding to people who either can't or won't read. I don't think ANY OF THOSE GUYS ARE ACES. I said that. And yes Ryan is NOT AN ACE. The A's promoted Sunny Gray as such when they trotted him out to face Verlander his rookie season. In time maybe. Not right now
  22. Schmoeman5
    And to answer your question. No Ryan is not an ace. But then I didn't think Berrios was either. But if you add someone close to that, the Twins would be in much better shape.
  23. Schmoeman5
    I'll admit. The options are slim. But the Twins would misuse one if they had one. They dont/won't use anyone past 6 innings to avoid the dreaded 3rd time through the lineup. They never make their starters work out of a jam past the 5th. Look at yesterday's KC game. Singer cruising along pitching a SO. Metrics say get him out. Go to the pen and BOOM. There goes the game. KC went by the book and lost. So get a Montas Hendricks or Eovaldi type guy. Throw him out there evey 5th day to eat up innings. There's no Verlander Buehler Cole type of ace out there on a losing team that has a contract about to expire or will become a free agent at the end of this year to be had. But I would keep an eye out for possibly one of the Brewers starters. If they are in it at the trade deadline, forget it. If they're hovering near .500 they might want to unload

    I added 2 aces to the Phillies so that it was comparable to what Houston did. So let's go the opposite way. Let's take Carlton OFF the 1972 Phillies. Instead of losing 97 games. Will the replacement pitcher or pitchers win 10 or 15 of those games he won. That translates to 110 or 115 losses. Still a big difference. The argument that adding an ace is inconsequential is ridiculous
  25. Schmoeman5
    That's a terrible comparison. If you add an ace like that to a solid team it can take you over the proverbial hump. 2019 Astros already had Cole and Verlander and still went out and added Grenke. There's never too many good arms. The 72 Phillies were terrible. But let's say you added Ryan and Seaver they won't lose 97 games. That just shows what a dominant pitcher CAN do
