    I fear you're correct. The luck is wearing off.

    Another bases loaded at bat that came up empty.

    My previous post mentioned a shutout going into the 7th inning.

    I was being facetious, I'm guessing Rocco learned his lesson. Having a 4 run lead early definitely takes pressure off late inning guys.
  7. rwilfong86
    If Ober has a shutout going into the 7th on 80 pitches do you think Rocco pulls him? ?
  8. rwilfong86
    I was thinking the same thing. And another bases loaded at bat that came up empty. Not sure what Arraez was looking for there.

    Working counts, do you mean last night when they swung at the first pitch 5 consecutive at bats after a 5 pitch walk? That sure was a great example. The Twins 6 batters saw a total of 10 pitches. Great job of running up the pitch count wasn't it? Analytics is neutral, but it's what a team does with the data that determines success or failure. And the overemphasis on letting the "computer" determine what happens is gonna lead to failure if they don't adapt to be more situational rather than "by the book". Rocco has made some pretty horrible management decisions based on the data and last night was a golden example of that.

    The Twins are in first place because they've had a stretch of great starting pitching, timely hitting, a few lucky bounces, and the White Sox have been trash. I'm not sure what analytics has to do with any of those things. I would guess probably at least half of their losses can be blamed on analytics and Rocco's inability to use his brain but I'm not sure any rational person could give credit to analytics for their success. They're winning in spite of analytics, not because of it.

    Head scratching pulling 3 hitters who had a hit (including the 2 who drove in their 2 runs) and replacing them with 3 guys who ended up with nothing, He has no baseball instincts. I think most of us who have played MLB the Show could manage a team better then him.
  12. rwilfong86
    Unfortunately yes, and the team will continue to suffer because of it.
  13. rwilfong86
    A manager with a brain will look at those stats and agree with your assessment which is accurate.
  14. rwilfong86
    Especially after you smoked a ball for an RBI earlier in the game. Reminds me of last season when the team pretty much quit mid-season.
  15. rwilfong86
    Pinch hitting for 3 guys who had a hit and both rbis is a head scratcher. When they had Gordon pinch hitting for Jeffers, Jeffers looked completely disgusted.
  16. rwilfong86
    Thanks for crunching the numbers!
  17. rwilfong86
    Apparently they do since it's in the box score. But I agree, someone needs a hit with runners on.
  18. rwilfong86
    They do and have for quite awhile. See the column on the right side which is the individual LOB, there is team LOB which is below.
  19. rwilfong86
    If MLB keeps stats of teams with bases loaded and less than 2 outs but get 0 runs the Twins have to be tops in that category. It's crazy how 2 consecutive games they were in that spot with the game on the line and couldn't get a single run.
  20. rwilfong86
    Hire her as a pitching consultant!
  21. rwilfong86
    They'll wait until their season has fallen apart and then make some moves too late. Now would be the time to make some calls and try to get a deal done, before their schedule gets much more difficult at the end of next week.

    He needs to stay up, either as a starter or long reliever who can spot start as needed.
  24. rwilfong86
    At least his mediocrity is consistent?
  25. rwilfong86
    If the Twins gave up selling their collective soul to analytics and actually used their brains they would win far more games. Even the game Sunday they came back and won was in spite of analytics, not because of it.
