    If you want to remember what entertaining baseball looks like… go to a Saints game. You are more likely to see a dozen runs than a dozen strikeouts!

    Well put! That is messed up!

    And if Lewis doesn't come around and toe the company line, he may find himself on the outbound side of a trade... to a much more successful team. Our loss will be his gain!

    Maybe I don't understand the concept of low leverage. Down 2-1 in the 7th is the definition of high leverage... Unless you've already deemed the game unwinnable!!!

    I'm not buying it. He is an excellent low leverage RP. But there is no such thing as a low leverage RP. That's like having a hitter who only hits home runs with no one on base. Who would ever.... Oh, never mind 🫤

    Excellent article Nick! Thank you for shining a big ole spotlight on the elephant in the room!

    And apparently he has a bright future as a hitting coach... Take what the pitcher gives you rather than striking out waiting for a mistake!

    Sadly, I don't see how the Twins will return from this road trip still leading the division. They have Atlanta/Baltimore while Cleveland has KC/Cubs.

    Strikeouts have the disadvantage of not putting any stress on the defense. This especially relevant against weaker teams. Miscommunication on a pop fly or a weird bounce on a weak grounder can result in getting on base. I would be more ok with the strike outs if our batters could make the adjustment to simply advance runners when needed. I think that would improve our bases loaded production immensely!

    How often does a team strike out 17 times and score 9 runs? Felt like we stepped into an alternate reality in the 8th 🤣

    Laughing... crying... so many tears! Truly one of your best Stu!! 🤣😭😂

    Great article Cody! Spot on! An entire lineup (some returning players, some new) does not forget how to make contact all at once. They are being led down a bad path. In an interview during spring training Falvey alluded to a new, "super" analytic system that no other teams have. That would be my prime suspect!

    This situation does not make any sense. These are Major League Baseball players. Some better offensively than others. But as a group, they should be at least league average. Something is getting in their way. They are not the Oakland A’s, who are group of mostly AAA & washed up players. They are not a rebuilding team composed of young, inexperienced players. They are highly skilled, experienced and competitive athletes. Something is getting in their way. It is not 1 or 2 players. It is across the lineup. Something is getting in their way. Is it Baldelli or Popkins or “the process” or the FO?

    Warren Buffet has made a lot of $$$ being a value investor. I think it is a very valid way to approach building a pitch in staff as well!
  15. NotAboutWinning
    Lou, your repertoire of dry-walling puns is impressive!!

    A question for those with much more baseball knowledge than myself regarding bullpen management... Has the AAA merry-go-round approach become the norm? How many teams these days set a bullpen roster and stay with it, barring injuries?
  17. NotAboutWinning
    I agree. A phenomenal pitching staff is what is keeping the Twins in 1st place at this point. I miss Arraez. But, honestly, his on-base skills would be wasted when there isn’t anyone hitting behind him.
  18. NotAboutWinning
    Wishing Miranda a quick turn-around and hoping this is the thing that breaks the spell!

    In this age of analytics, is there a stat that indicates "Baseball IQ"? Basically, an understanding of the game at a fundamental level and the ability & discipline to play good fundamental baseball. For instance, what will most likely score runs with bases loaded and 0 outs (hint, it is not a grand-slam).
  20. NotAboutWinning
    Tom, I totally agree about the nature of the game. My question is whether the increased speed and movement of pitches is now beyond what a human umpire can accurately perceive on a consistent basis?
  21. NotAboutWinning
    How so many negative comments can come out of one of truly most balanced and beautiful Twins wins is beyond me, I will choose to bask in it, and in a season series win over the Yankees. Whatever happens tomorrow or in October, this one was sweet!
  22. NotAboutWinning
    I feel good about the pitching matchups, and the Twins are due to come out of their funk. Twins go 2-1 (no analytics were used in the formulation of this opinion) 😂🤣😂
  23. NotAboutWinning
    We are still looking at base stealing as it has been done for the last 100 years... thinking it is just something for young, fast players. Look at what the Yankees did. They have already adapted to the new rules/bases with a double-jump technique that doesn't require as much speed, but relies more on timing. Just sayin.
  24. NotAboutWinning
    If Pagan can get himself right, that would be some very sweet icing on an already impressive bullpen cake 🎂
  25. NotAboutWinning
    Very interesting to note which teams are at the top of the injury leader board… Yankees 11, Twins 9. And which team seems to be weathering the storm better. Go Twins!!
