    With the exception of McNeil, 1,2 and 4 are pretty much the same order as they've been all season. Have you watched many Mets games this season? I'm guessing not. Go look at a random box score from any game earlier this season and you will see the Mets lineup is pretty much the same. Nimmo is gonna be hitting leadoff, Lindor will be 2nd and Alonso is cleanup. They don't randomly throw Alonso leadoff, bat Escobar 2nd, Marte third and Lindor cleanup. Debating this further is is pointless. You say my data doesn't fit the narrative and I am saying the same about yours. So I'm done. Have a wonderful afternoon.

    The Twins are making Trout look like the Trout of old.
  3. rwilfong86
    The data shows Mets 1-4 are practically always the same and it has been that way almost all season.

    The Yankees aren't inconsistent with their lineup the way the Twins are. They typically have the same guys at the top of the order and bottom of the order and play the same guys in the same defensive positions. Look at their box scores for the last week for example. Their lineup for 5 of their past 7 games is as follows: 1- Judge, rf 2- Rizzo, 1b 3- Torres, 2b 4- Donaldson, 3b 5- Stanton DH The other 2 games put Stanton batting 2nd.

    Hopefully 2023 the majority can stay healthy.

    Dick Bremer mentioned a KC series he did the same thing and didn't seem to learn from it.
  7. rwilfong86
    I would prefer Cave in center personally, he has more experience there.
  8. rwilfong86
    If the Yankees didn't get such a huge lead in their division before their team got the injury bug they could very well be in the same spot the Twins are, that and the fact that Judge is single handed pulling them to the finish line.
  9. rwilfong86
    I think you're right that no one expected them to be a contender, but the hot start to the season was a mirage that led many to believe the team was better than what they are. I remember after they went on their first hot stretch several media outlets picked them to run away with the Central.

    They're an exception, because even with their injuries, their best player has played pretty much every game. They've built the lineup around Judge. The Twins best player, Buxton, has been playing injured or on the IL pretty much the whole season. Even with injuries, it isn't impossible for the Twins to keep a consistent regular lineup with who they have rather than mixing and matching or Rocco pulling names out of a hat.

    Same play so it's blunder 1a and 1b ?
  12. rwilfong86
    First blunder of the game is twofold, Celestino throwing to home when he needs to hit the cutoff man and Bundy not backing up the play. Little league level mistakes.
  13. rwilfong86
    I wouldn't be surprised if 2023 brings 100 losses
  14. rwilfong86
    If they can finish .500 after this abysmal month I think it will be a small victory.
  15. rwilfong86
    Not really. When you know who you have, you can see who fits where. I can see some variation with players who are new, but everyone currently on the roster has been around for a bit now.
  16. rwilfong86
    The Twins aren’t getting 60 home runs and 100+ RBI and don’t have a player that can single handed carry the team like the Yankees have. But you also noticed I didn’t include the Yankees in my post because they’ve been decimated by injuries as well. You want to put guys at the top of the lineup who can get on base, which is why Arraez should be the primary lead off guy with guys who have power following. You don’t want a guy with a .250 OBP at the top of the order. I can agree the injuries make things more difficult but it isn’t a valid excuse for the inconsistency in the lineups we are seeing.
  17. rwilfong86
    The one thing you see on the teams in contention right now is the opposite of what you see on the Twins. Do you think the Guardians or Mets or Dodgers use 7 different lineups in 7 days?
  18. rwilfong86
    Multiple times during the radio and TV broadcasts this season the commentators mentioned how hard it is for the players to get into any rhythm when they don't know where (or if) they will be playing in the field and where they will be batting. So much of baseball is about getting into a routine and consistency is a key component of that. And this is coming from players in the Hall of Fame so I think it is certainly reliable.
  19. rwilfong86
    He looks like he may be their DH of the future. It would stink since he is so elite as a defender but if the goal is to have his bat in the lineup that may be their only real option.
  20. rwilfong86
    Timely hitting and horrendous defense by the Angels = Twins win.
  21. rwilfong86
    And the Angels defense committing multiple errors helped a lot. The issue with the batting order isn't that it was awful, it's that there is no consistency day to day on the lineup. You never know who is playing and where.
  22. rwilfong86
    Wallner needs to learn how to swing his bat. He looks awful tonight.
  23. rwilfong86
    The Angels defense tonight?
  24. rwilfong86
    Little breathing room now
  25. rwilfong86
    He's a guy who just loves to play the game
