    Shoulder stuff is always worrisome. Modern medicine can fix elbows but shoulders seem more problematic.
  2. Linus
    This is particularly stupid. Guy is out there screwing around.
  3. Linus
    This is getting ridiculous.
  4. Linus
    I hate the position player pitching thing. It’s a joke especially when every team has 13 pitchers.
  5. Linus
    Yep. Hidden cost of having guys like him in the pen. Should have been a laugher and now we are going through our pen to finish the game.
  6. Linus
    Okay. I’m trying to think of a Twins pitcher with worse control. Samuel Deduno comes to mind but I think he had considerably better control than this guy.
  7. Linus
    Agreed. However the game will get over at 2:30 am with a final score of 16-12
  8. Linus
    I have been anti Raya for a long time. But the idea that you want this guy over him at this point is crazy.
  9. Linus
    So you come into a 16-2 game and walk the first batter. He has no idea where his pitches are going ever.
  10. Linus
    Keaschall ends up in the left hand batters box after most swings. That cannot be good.
  11. Linus
    If Gray plays SS anytime soon I give up.
  12. Linus
    Ah no. No such time. 😂
  13. Linus
    Interesting that Martin wouldn’t come in at this point.
  14. Linus
    How many 6 hoppers can make it through an infield?
  15. Linus
    This is nuts. I hope they aren’t using up all their batted ball luck
  16. Linus
    Taj has nasty stuff. If he can tighten up his command he could be special.
  17. Linus
    Man I strongly dislike this announcing pair. It’s like listening to a couple of junior high schoolers.
  18. Linus
    The play by Kreidler is more important than the one out. Without that play the inning could have turned into a mess.
  19. Linus
    That was a big league play.
  20. Linus
    No question that is an exciting rotation. The problem is the lineup and bullpen need an overhaul and there isn’t enough on the farm to do that and it’s doubtful TP is bringing in an expensive bat. A trade of Joe Ryan still leaves you with a good rotation and it might fill several holes.
  21. Linus
    I agree with this premise. TP should not be involved in baseball decisions in any meaningful way. As far as Zoll goes I have a hard time making a judgment. The whole regime has been so closed in terms of who did what and who had the authority to do what. In other words I think it is possible Zoll hasn’t had the authority to do anything on his own until Falvey left. If that is true then I will give him some time to prove himself. What’s not in dispute is collectively this FO / ownership group has been really dysfunctional.

    Is this different than barrel rate? I think we are at a point where people are creating new metrics so they can be the next big analytical things. I also think more context is warranted in some of the articles where analytics are cited. For example swing speed: obviously faster is better but how much of a factor is it in hitting the ball hard compared to barrel rate? What component results in higher exit velocity? I don’t know the answers but I think citing an individual metric does not always provide useful information.
  23. Linus
    I think this is now the $64,000 question. It’s almost to the point of where can you hide him the best? My guess is they may try him in left after the season is lost but teams will run on that arm at will. I kind of think he has to sink or swim at second. I know they do different specialty camps in the off season maybe there is one that can clean up his throwing mechanics. Ultimately it will boil down to the bat. At this level of offensive production someone that can play on both sides of the ball will take his job. I’m guessing he has this season and next to make his mark.
  24. Linus
    Yep. I honestly think it’s just the left handed bat but the more he plays SS the more exposed he becomes.
