    Because last season SO many here babbled - Bring Keirsey Jr. up - well, he is here. AT that, Baldelli looked and sounded very annoyed with the team after the game last night.

    Pitch framing is also bogus, but the writer, needed some thing to help trash CERA.

    Turn out the lights, the party is over - WERE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    While Bill James was an early proponent of Catcher ERA (CERA) as a way to measure a catcher's impact on a pitching staff , it's generally not widely used or considered a reliable metric in modern sabermetrics. Here's why: Reliability Issues: CERA has been shown to have significant year-to-year variation, making it difficult to assess a catcher's consistent ability using this stat alone. Research suggests that observed differences in CERA can be largely due to chance. Too Many Variables: CERA doesn't adequately control for external factors that influence ERA, such as: The quality of the opposing team's offense The quality of the individual pitchers being caught Home or away game influence Weather conditions Pure luck Focus on Pitch Framing: Modern sabermetrics has shifted towards analyzing specific catcher defensive skills like pitch framing, which is the ability to subtly receive pitches in a way that makes them appear as strikes. Metrics like Called Strikes Above Average (CSAA) and Framing Runs Above Average (FRAA) are now used to quantify this skill.

    Minnesota can and has gotten extremely hot and humid to the point it can reach sub-tropical level, far more often than people think. I landscaped in 98 degrees with 90 percent humidity. You adjust to it , IF, it is a long lasting weather spell. I believe 2011 was the summer in the past 15 years where it stayed for the longest time, although that was back in the days before talking weather heads started babbling about if you go outside you die, so stay indoors. When I was younger, Bud Kraehling would just say - It is hot out there , be careful.

    He is a well paid baseball player, nothing more, not some one in an industry whose success or failure could have an effect on other persons. Life is a bitch, no matter if he fails , for any reason, he is well off, not a soldier on the street suffering from the misery of war.

    Two good young catchers 😅 - define good, not wishful thinking, who are these GOOD catchers; where are they sitting untouched.

    Still better on defense than Jeffers.

    It used to be free - still long gone. I will not pay to hear Sirius.

    Hmm, his minor league carreer is stopping 18 percent of base stealers.

    Back in the days of Clear Channel radio, one could listen to some games in cities a goodly distance away and hear how the other teams announcers handled the game. Long gone now sadly.

    On July 6, 2024, Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda tied the MLB record for consecutive hits with a single in the fourth inning against the Astros. Miranda's 12th straight hit tied the record set by Walt Dropo (1952), Pinky Higgins (1938), and Johnny Kling (1902). Miranda's streak also made him the only player in the Expansion Era (since 1961) to achieve this feat. Numbers can be deceiving.

    Two more: Edward Julien.

    Vazquez is a better catcher than Jeffers, it would be stupids to let him go.
  21. RpR
    You are correct.
  22. RpR
    IF the Twins do not win now, the season is probably in the toilet.
  23. RpR
    Jefers needed that one.
  24. RpR
    Lee swings at some very off the plate pitches.
  25. RpR
    Jeffers still has problems to his right.
