    Twins owners have shot themselves in the foot. The value of their asset could be 50% higher than it is had they actually built on the 87-92 success. Instead, within a decade, they were asking the other owners to contract the team. Can't encourage anyone to spend a single dollar that goes to those terrible billionaire losers.

    Yeah. The tinkering should be left in the first 2/3 of the season. Figure out what is needed to be added (or sell off parts) and the really lock in. Unfortunately, Rocco doesn't really like to be conventional.

    Maybe they just like saying his name. Ronny is a pretty cool name if we're being honest.

    Truly incredible that Tonkin could still help the Twins lose games after they successfully rid themselves of him so long ago this season. Props to the Front Office on that one. Very creative story telling if we're being honest.

    I saw the graphic but that was wrong. He's struck out 12 in 18. Still indicative of a pitcher lacking the STUFF to be a late inning reliever but not as bad as it looked.

    Not be very good, you'd find that it's quite easy that way.

    The xwoba on his fastball on the year is only 0.502. Uh. I'm being told that's bad?
  8. NYCTK
    Think that'd cost about 800K. Aint happening.
  9. NYCTK
    That's not true. He performed well in AAA. And hasn't aged out of prospect territory yet. But man, outside of a two week stretch or so, he really has sucked.

    They're the division winners and vibing. I wish the Twins could bat flip and smirk 😔
  11. NYCTK
    Should we even expect Lee to be Major League ready next year?
  12. NYCTK
    Incredible. Only time in history someone's wanted to see New Jersey.

    Just flipped from the Mets game and, man, the Twins booth really isn't great. When Plouffe is in there it's fun, but otherwise they're so dry and boring.

    I hope Margot is a good person. Because he sure ain't a good baseball player anymore.
  15. NYCTK
    If only Margot had some of that.
  16. NYCTK
    Not a chance. There's a greater chance they trade Pablo than there is they sign ANOTHER $20 Million arm.

    This is a good rule. It limits the manipulation a team can do with their roster. If you don't have depth, making up for it by just having a constant merry-go-round for your bullpen to get fresh arms in there is a strategy, but with limitations.

    The man whose fastball has a 0.504 xwoba? The man with a 50+% hard hit rate? That Ronny Henriquez? Is that man, like, really good now? No.

    Kyle Farmer's option was always a good pickup as insurance against Julien and Lewis. The criticism levied towards him just because he had a minimal contract on a terribly constructed roster was never fair to him and was actually an indictment of ownership and the front office. Can he sustain it? Of course not. He didn't suddenly become an mvp caliber hitter at the tail of his career. But happy to see a good player have a good stretch and have people get off his back for something that wasn't ever his fault.

    Honestly, this feels like the new Moneyball angle. Some injuries are completely freaky and random, but a lot of injuries are not. The Twins injuries fall more in the latter category. Brock, Paddack, Buxton, Lewis, and the guy that had two contracts ripped up due to health concerns getting injured seems entirely unsympathetic at an organizational level. I am absolutely sympathic towards the players and their individual plight, but no one is actually surprised. But to your point, some teams hyperfocus on velocity and RPM in pitchers doesn't seem to be all that beneficial towards the players. But if you're an organization, do you care? If every pitcher is just an asset, it makes sense to treat them like a VC. What does it matter to them if 9 nothing pitchers have severe injury if one can become an ace? The Dodgers are on that list towards the top and I've heard folks saying basically exactly this about them specifically.

    Have you seen the rest of the bullpen?
  22. NYCTK
    No Twin has drove in 70 since 2021. This...is bad.
  23. NYCTK
    With Zebby it's most definitely a bad thing. He's very clearly not ready for the bigs quite yet. Not that anyone starting the season in A should be expected to be.
  24. NYCTK
    He's been pretty unlucky. His fip is sub 4. His babip at home is above 400. Meaning I expect him to go 7.2 with like 2 hits tonight.
  25. NYCTK
    He's probably tired, poor guy. Can't expect a professional athlete to finish strong in Roccos clubhouse.
