    Dave St. Peter is a master at acting like it's a mystery how things happen that are directly under his control.
  2. TheLeviathan
    Wait until August. That press conference where they ask about Kimbrel is going to turn into the Red Wedding.
  3. TheLeviathan
    When can we just declare Garner is a capable backstop? Every time I see him behind the dish he looks light years ahead of last year. It may be time to bury that question and see the upside his bat brings to the Twins at that position.
  4. TheLeviathan
    Once we start rolling out Gibson, Odorizzi, and Perez three out of every five games.....I think we're going to see this team's biggest weakness is starting pitching. And they didn't add enough to the pen to compensate.
  5. TheLeviathan
    I don't mind if he's reckless and aggressive.....if his body holds up. I have lingering concerns about his fragility and missing a day after that doesn't ease my concerns. He's a great CFer, but we need him on the field and making smart baseball plays. I hope this was a learning experience for him.
  6. TheLeviathan
    I too want him aggressive. But he had an at-bat with a couple guys on base and aggressively chased a ball out of the zone on the first pitch....so I want him to be smart and aggressive. He's stinging the ball right now, so I'm not worried yet about his approach.
  7. TheLeviathan
    I'm glad they won because not scoring in the 7th was hard to watch. What the hell was that route by Buxton? That was a hard, but not impossible catch.
  8. TheLeviathan
    Right, not a good call. But Rocco is new and this is something he hopefully learns from. Managers get to do that too,
  9. TheLeviathan
    These numbers are fun enough for another thread!
  10. TheLeviathan
    Nope, . The tracker I was watching showed pitch 4 was outside and in the dirt. So I've learned no to take that tracker seriously!
  11. TheLeviathan
    Was Rosario's at-bat when he had the 3-0 count as bad as it looked on Gameday?
  12. TheLeviathan
    Berrios is one helluva fun player.
  13. TheLeviathan
    Great read, thank you for posting this. Wes Johnson is the kind of pitching coach we have been clamoring for.....well....my entire lifetime I think?
  14. TheLeviathan
    I remember Dan Vogelbach's 2018 MVP award started with his Spring Training leading 7 home runs. We all shoulda seen it coming.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Well, at least we hit that point where we're so ready for the season we've forgotten that Spring Training is irrelevant. It's irrelevant. Mull no more.
  16. TheLeviathan
    I say keep him in the rotation, work on getting a better third pitch.
  17. TheLeviathan
    I thought Pressly credited the Twins for turning him around? The Astros simply doubled down on it to make him elite. I wonder if we'll end up being more content with the bullpen than many of us thought and it will be the rotation that will be our bane. Just a nagging concern I can't shake.
  18. TheLeviathan
    Clearly we should trade for Peter Bourjos.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Well, maybe....we always knew our second baseman would be right behind him for protection!
  20. TheLeviathan
    This is Baldelli getting off on the right foot. Nice lineup construction.
  21. TheLeviathan
    There is a large difference downside (and upside) between us and, say, the Astros. Or Indians.
  22. TheLeviathan
    If I had to bet on what position group is most likely to be the culprit for a Twins rough showing in 2019....it's this one. Too much downside.
  23. TheLeviathan
    All of that can be true and it can still be obnoxious to pay $6 for a hot dog.
  24. TheLeviathan
    I choose not to attend big league games in part because of price gouging, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is that sometimes the prices on concessions are just a big middle finger to fans. Yeah, the clubs can get away with it. Doesn't make it any less obnoxious.
  25. TheLeviathan
    From Fangraphs: The individual weights for home runs, walks/HBP, and strikeouts are based on the relative values of those actions with respect to run prevention. The constant is what puts it on scale with ERA. The multipliers are value driven. And that is different than calculating ERA or OBP. There are no multipliers or value adjustments. (And, before some new tangent arrives, I'm not saying that makes the stat lesser. It just makes it some degree more subjective)
