    I agree. I understand why people are hesitant to trust Paddack at this point but... wow his stuff looks crazy. Upped fastball velo, the big curveball, and the wiffleball changeup. I mean, he cant be worse than winder or floro

    In the case of run creation the home run is 4 runs, and the double 2-3, and so on. But yes they all lead to a win. You are right that it isn't situational like WPA or another stat like that. But its far better at predicting future success than something like WPA. We're getting to the point where "impact" or "impactful" is going to need to have a mutually agreed upon definition or we will be talking in circles. If it means 'that which leads to more wins' I could say WRC+ and wOBA are highly related to winningness, more than stats like Batting Average People don't like these stats "cuz spreadsheets" they like them because their highly related to current and future success.

    No, he has a 102 WRC+ as a 1B, which is well below the average for 1B. But he has been average (across all players) at creating runs

    I chose my language carefully. If you're having trouble understanding the argument I invite you to reread the article

    We dont "know" that, you just feel that way

    We are judging baseball players by their ability to create runs

    Why do people want Giolito so bad? he's been doo doo recently
  8. LonelyseatinMOA
    They fixed Aroldis Chapman..... somehow

    I'll be honest, when I saw the all of the clamoring for Funderburk on Twins Daily I was reminded of another big lefty in AAA st paul and I thought to myself "look at these fools, this time last year everyone wanted Evan Sisk to be called up. And now look at him, stuck at AAA for KC with a 7 ERA". Maybe I was wrong...... maybe not. But regardless, congrats to Kody Funderburk and a "job well done" for a great debut relief appearance.

    single season defensive metrics are hilariously unreliable and "gold glove considerations" should mean next to nothing to us in our evaluations of player defense

    anyone feeling a Correa 10 day might be in order? let Royce man SS for a while and see if some rest helps the plantar faciitis
  12. LonelyseatinMOA
    Nice piece Cody. Just a heads up, it cannot be read in dark mode
  13. LonelyseatinMOA
    Probably Matthews, Lewis, then Culpepper in that order. But how likely is it that any make it? tough to say at this point. Matthews and Lewis are near the top of the minor league leaderboard when it comes to K%-BB% which is very promising

    They may want Garlick for Saturday game against CLE LHP Logan Allen
  15. LonelyseatinMOA
    I am very confident in him and his few bad outings don't worry me
  16. LonelyseatinMOA
    just a note: it is not possible to read this article in dark mode. Nice article though

    Balazovic is cooked then?

    What lead to pulling him was a couple of factors 1). He hasn't thrown that many pitches in a while (WBC messed with spring training starts) 2). He wasn't locating his fastball very well, He had a couple of walks and a HBP. 6 of the final 12 batters he faced got on base. 3). They didn't want him to face two lefties in a row to finish his outing and they put Thielbar in to face them. This isn't to say he wasn't dealing, his new sweeping slider looked great and the changeup was awesome as usual. He just didn't have his fastball and was approaching what is probably a soft limit on the number of pitches. I expect when it warms up (was 60 in KC yesterday) he'll regain that command and be a great pitcher for the twins this year.

    Buxton, Polanco, Kirilloff, and Gordon (if you can believe it) were all taking Live at bats off of Maeda today according to Do-Hyoung Park. Its not like these guys aren't getting at bats, they are getting more at the fort myers complex than they would at a spring training game (2 or 3 in 2.5 hours).
  20. LonelyseatinMOA
    Another lost season for him would be a gut punch. He's fortunate to have many people around him who've gone through windy roads to their MLB career (Rocco, Royce)
  21. LonelyseatinMOA
    I think you're confusing the author of this piece with the Twins organization
  22. LonelyseatinMOA
    Trout was 25th, so there are some diamonds too
  23. LonelyseatinMOA
    As a starter Winder, like Jax, also has a fastball that gets crushed. Last year hitters slugged .713 713! He should move to the pen, focus on throwing sliders and add velocity to the fastball to make it less terrible
  24. LonelyseatinMOA
    They should turn him into Richard Bleier 2.0
  25. LonelyseatinMOA
    I think Farmer and Gordon can coexist on the roster. Farmer becomes a platoon with Kepler and we put Farmer in the infield and slide someone else into the corner OF. Just make Farmer be what Garlick was last year
