Edit: If there isn't, I think we could argue the formula to be named, the Correa Formula, much like the Mendoza line.
-
Is there (there has to be) a stat in baseball that accounts for overall production and annual salary? It could be as simple as $ made per year divided by WAR, but I'm sure some whiz kid from Yale has figured out a more interesting formula than I California Math (shout out to Blyleven).
-
The MLB has him clearly figured out, and for an analytic guy, he sure doesn’t seem to adjust to the adjustment.
-
Correa is behind in the count in an ungodly amount of plate appearances.
-
I really wish his return game was against a lesser opponent. I feel like his confidence is low after his last stretch of run bad. Hopefully I'm wrong.
-
I understand that is probably the reality, but how much more intensity would someone need over and above hitting on a machine (likely 30ish swings?). He can run, I'm sure he can throw, and he can hit off a machine..? Do they need him to take batting practice while standing barefoot on glass before he is game ready?
-
Serious question: Why do return timetables take so long after they have gotten to this point? If AK is doing all his pregame work completely fine then shouldn't his shoulder be O.K. to play in a game? Was it his throwing shoulder and maybe he doesn't know if he can throw at full strength yet..?
-
Has a ring to it. Wish I could say the ring was nice.
-
Lol, such an anticlimatic ending started by none other than, CC.
-
There needs to be a name for someone who cleans up after the mop up guy (aka the janitor)..... Hmmm. the janitor's maid? Can that be Cole Sands nickname for now?
-
I disagree! I love Dick!.... cough cough, I love Dick... Bremer, yeah Dick Bremer.
-
Twins will keep Balazovic in the same role for the rest of the year and will probably have him pitch in the post-season in high leverage situation because they BELIEVE.
-
Never seems to be.
-
Pretty much sums it up.
-
I think the short boys thing is hilarious, but it seems super random. Like what's the point? Just for laughs?
-
Mike Sixel, out of curiosity, what don't you like about the human ump/robo combo?
-
That has been a strike all night.
-
Fool me once... what's the saying for fool me 8 times?
-
Donnie is out of his element.
-
Idk if he, or Buxton, chases that curveball outside the zone for the thrike more. Either way, not great that both our "superstars" have that same issue.
-
Well since the ump had a questionable call on that second strike, I think it is a fair time to bring up my idea regarding umps and robo umps. I still like the human element of umpires (disclaimer: I am 35 yo so I am not Old Man Coffee) but also like the idea of strikes and balls being calls a little more consistently. So here my idea: Umpires wear an ear piece, much like pitchers do, and someone behind the scenes (probably in NY) is watching the game that has access to technology of a perfect strike zone. If a ball is 6 inches off the plate like Sonny Gray's second to last strike, the operator tells the ump in his ear piece that said ball was 6 inches off the plate, and then the ump will theoretically tighten it up, and be more consistent with an accurate strike zone throughout the game.

I get your point about fan pressure and the Twins FO not making any moves. The Yankees were merciless on Hicks and they got rid of him, so I'm not sure what you're point is there. My overall point is Twins fans are so complacent and don't seem to hold CC accountable for his poor product on the field.
-
Yeah, and ticket sales are affected by fan attitudes. Better attitude towards the team = more ticket sales.
-
My main point is these fan bases hold their management accountable. I don't have specific examples, but I think both you and I can imagine how a disgruntled fanbase can influence management's decisions.
-
Fair enough. But I don't have stats for a "everyone" designation. I think it's apparent in the baseball industry that the markets I mentioned don't put up with BS, and the Twins market rolls over and just complains, no matter what happens. My point is if the fanbase held ownership more accountable, maybe things could be different. The fans are a primary source of revenue, and with that comes influence, but it doesn't seem like the Twins community wants to pull that lever.
