    No Buxton, Solano & Castro in the lineup against a righty... and, again, Pagan.
  2. NotAboutWinning
    This semed like a throw-away from the start. Line-up was middling, and then bring Pagan into a 1 run game!

    Another RP with "stuff".... ughhhhhh

    I think pitch count had a lot to do with the short outings. Our pitchers, in general, seemed to start nibbling around the edges of the zone when they've gotten a batter to 0-2, rather than attacking. This results in a lot of 3-2 counts and a lot of foul balls. 80ish pitches going into the 5th inning isn't going to get you very far. Lopez in particular seems to stay much more aggressive on 0-2, resulting in a lot lower pitch count. I hope the rest of the staff follows suit.

    Interesting note… Assume for a moment the data is good. Without Correa’s salary, the Twins would have made a small profit last year. How much revenue did his presence generate?

    Totally admire his emotional intelligence! Play the long game and take the time a full recovery requires, even when he is feeling ready.

    He looked pretty competent in the WBC!

    The way the injuries are starting to pile up, I may need a bit of Bacardi for my Kool-aid 🙄

    Ober's stock might be rising. Maeda is having another rough outing against an Atlanta lineup of mostly starters 😕 Doesn't look to have anything on his fastball.

    Well said Adam! Pour me a double!!

    I'm a bit confused by those who say they can't watch the Twins. A subscription to MLB.tv is about $20/month for the season. I can watch literally any MLB game (and MiLB this year) on PC, tablet, phone, cast to a TV or on a smart TV app. The Twins games are available 2 hours after they finish (or in real time if you want to mess with a VPN). I think it is a decent deal. Will be even better if the blackouts go away once Diamond is completely defunct.

    I am liking the pitch clock in the spring training games I've watched. Watching the WBC games with the old pace makes them seem to plod on forever... and I could live without ever having to watch another hitter adjust his batting gloves again!

    Somewhat petty, but ultimately satisfying.... JK!

    I am somewhat confused by all the talk of slotting our young players with promising hit skills into the DH role. If you're going to employ a dedicated DH, it should be a spot for experienced ML hitters whose defensive side is in decline. There is something wrong with our farm system if it continues to develop so many young players who can hit but have no defensive skill.

    Nice quote from Solano that several teams were interested and he chose the Twins on reputation. Hopefully that reputation continues to grow with higher level FAs as well!
  16. NotAboutWinning
    Great to see these guys “hungry” to develop! Bodes very well for the quality of the starting rotation!

    I'm hoping he becomes a legendary baseball story of a pitcher turning a devastating injury into a devastating pitch no one has seen before!

    When talking about a negative outlier, the phrasing should be reversion to the mean.
  19. NotAboutWinning
    Is anyone talking about how the rule changes will affect the early season? I think younger teams would have the advantage initially since more of their players are familiar with the pitch clock. If you watched Varland or SWR work last year, their faster pace was apparent and very much part of their pitching style. The effect will diminish over time but I think it will a factor in April.

    Perhaps this will allow him to have a long, productive career in professional baseball! The current philosophy of encouraging young pitchers to be flamethrowers is craziness and creating an endless line of pitchers sidelined by shoulder and elbow issues.

    There is a difference between being consumers of a product and shareholders of a company. Shareholders are exposed operational information.. We are consumers. Consumers receive product information via press releases and advertising. While we may be extremely emotionally invested, we are not actual investors... Putting on fireproof hat now.

    Yikes!!!
  23. NotAboutWinning
    Hmmm... someone should mention that to the Mets.
  24. NotAboutWinning
    And putting their own careers in jeopardy!
  25. NotAboutWinning
    There doesn't seem to have been a lot of mention of the affect Covid has had on players. They may be back playing after a couple of weeks, but many seem to take months to return to form. I think it had something to do with CC4's slow first half last year as well.
