    Interestingly, only 4 of his 14 starts have been against the ALE. He's been lit up in 5 of his 14 starts as well. His Barrell% and HardHit% are through the roof this year. People seem to be seeing him really well for some reason this year.
  2. TheLeviathan
    That's adorable. You must be new around here....
  3. TheLeviathan
    Some of you should really hear this guy out after the first 7 pages.
  4. TheLeviathan
    This team is too slow to run. Though I'm consistently confused on why Buxton isn't running at all. Early in the season the team was running dudes like Sano and now nobody tries.
  5. TheLeviathan
    With the way we know middle infielders age....I'd be really wary of a deal in the 7-10 year range. But I doubt any team locks in him in with less term than that. I'd happily pay him 3 years and 45M per, but I don't think he goes for that either. Which leads me to believe an extension just isn't in the cards. Baseball can't get a salary cap soon enough.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Both the team's current and future make-up and payroll indicate an ideal year to buy. And not just nibbly sort of buys....but go get a bigtime DH/OF or SP. Not to mention some RP help.

    Twins have the 3rd most wins in the AL, 4th best win %. Sometimes you just have a crummy game of ABs.
  8. TheLeviathan
    The same poster said this. So your "trust" mileage ought to be very minimal.
  9. TheLeviathan
    This. The Twins got a few bad breaks, couldn't get a big two out hit, or didn't execute with the bases loaded. Just one of those games when things didn't bounce their way. (And then a bunch of fielding blunders)
  10. TheLeviathan
    Part of the problem is that if you use that crew, you get compared to TNG. And that's a high bar. Even Season 1, which was good, never felt like it touched what I loved about TNG. I too will give Season 3 a shot but I'm not coming in with much enthusiasm. I have to give SNW a shot, I've been meaning too but Picard soured me pretty hard.
  11. TheLeviathan
    We made it! This is not on Baldelli choice. Yet your argument was to pin it on Baldelli. OP's thesis in a nutshell.
  12. TheLeviathan
    I get your point. It's not logical or consistent. You claim better use of long relief would save injury, then proved they used it early on, but somehow miss the fact that injuries occurred during that period you claim would prevent injuries. Then they had to repeatedly mine the depth that would have been used because of a decimated depth chart. Your criticism has zero merit and makes a deliberate effort to be unfair by ignoring context. To quote someobe earlier: fabricated my ass. This is the problem the OP is talking about.
  13. TheLeviathan
    I get your point but I am pointing out injuries derailed that. Injuries that happened while following the plan you imply would've prevented injuries. How is that on Rocco? He can't call people up either. They used Winder and Jax and others for multi inning stints until they lost Gray and Ober. Two weeks later Bundy and Paddock. Two weeks later Winder and Ryan. Everyone has a plan until injuries punch your 40 man in the face. They no longer had the healthy humans to do that. Yet you blame Rocco. How? He followed the plan until he simply couldn't.
  14. TheLeviathan
    Because we lost too many starters to continue it. That context is sorta crucial....no?
  15. TheLeviathan
    Well that's the thing about believing.....it isn't a fact. Can you clarify this stance in light of Winder's actual game log? https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=windejo01&t=p&year=2022 Note that Ober went on the DL on the 28th, hence his move to the rotation. How did any of this cause injury?
  16. TheLeviathan
    I definitely agree as a team building strategy!
  17. TheLeviathan
    The right's fringey lunacy across the board is difficult to explain. I get some of it from rural white folks (not justified, just understand why they feel that way) but woof. The degree our population is untethered from reality is startling. In any other era Trump is already in cuffs.
  18. TheLeviathan
    100%. We have at least two owners liking or posting the same perception yet two moderators liking/posting that this is a "fabrication". There is a serious disconnect and people are exasperated and pleading for what Squirrel posted above: a return to criticism and discussion over incessant whining.
  19. TheLeviathan
    The Braves hoarded mediocre outfielders, not relievers. I agree adding to the bullpen should be a priority but some of our narratives don't match the facts.
  20. TheLeviathan
    MCU fans don't have that 40 year old servitude to adhere to. They said right off the bat "Nope, we're doing our own thing, come along or don't" I think Star Wars fans are their own worst enemy. They demand fealty to ideas/tropes/storytelling that has always held the series back. They complain if they aren't there, they complain if they're there and nothing is new, and they complain when they get bold, new takes. The entire recent trilogy of Star Wars is a microcosm of those problems. Only the Mandalorian has risen above those problems and, surprise, one of the MCU's main guys is behind it.
  21. TheLeviathan
    So many of the takes, including some here in this thread, can only be described as stupid. They are irrational, hypocritical, and wildly inconsistent. They offer no value at all to the community. None. I too have a bone to pick from time to time with Rocco but reflexively defend him because the proliferation of such utterly stupid takes is unavoidable right now. The community has been, and should strive to be, better than that.
  22. TheLeviathan
    I appreciate your effort to be fair and reasonable in the criticisms you list here. That's the foundation of an invigorating discussion. Kudos.
  23. TheLeviathan
    This is a monument to the kind of claptraps that are everywhere right now and exactly what @IndianaTwin was talking about. In every recap, every game thread, every article, every conversation.
  24. TheLeviathan
    What this beautiful human here said. Say it again so the person you're responding to and TwinsDaily hears it again. Man ain't lying and he brought receipts. Disagree with bringing in Theilbar and suggesting an alternative with data? That's what TD was founded on. Twins can win and we get threads like this. Go ahead. Read it and tell me we're still doing analysis and fair criticism. I don't see it. It's a toxic part of this forum right now and I commend the OP for saying it out loud.
  25. TheLeviathan
    I came here to like these posts and comment on Stu's article. The Strib comments section has taken over TD and sucked the joy and analysis from the site. Back to lurking and giving worthy clicks to article writers!
