    Odorizzi is on pace for a 3.6 bWAR and fWAR season. Why wouldn't you pay him $18 million for a 1 year commitment?
  2. Mr. Brooks
    Isn't development part of the process as well? I don't buy that they have zero to do with the improvements from Kepler,Polanco, Buxton, Sano and Arraez.
  3. Mr. Brooks
    Some people are saying that though. Posters have said, the Twins have played fine, the Indians are just red hot. The Twins have not played fine. The Twins just hosted Cleveland for 4 games at home. They had their chance to make a statement, and they blew it. Several posters here understand that it's taken both red hot play from Cleveland AND poor play from the Twins to lose the lead, but not everyone. If you won't take my word, I can go through and bump all the posts saying exactly what I just satirized in the post you quoted. Plenty are posting that the Twins don't share blame.
  4. Mr. Brooks
    No. But I don't believe I've ever been on board with that. If they want to QO him, fine. But no multi year commitment.
  5. Mr. Brooks
    Competitively, each team plays 81 at home and 81 on the road. There is no competitive advantage to playing more home early or late. Your other point is the main reason. Warmer weather owners aren't going to give away summer games for games when school is still in session.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    I mean the Twins are only a little bit below .500 since June 2nd. They obviously have no fault in this whatsoever. When you play almost .500 ball and that's still not good enough, you just have to tip your cap to the other team.
  7. Mr. Brooks
    Smoke and mirrors in what way? Which metrics are you using to downgrade them from first in MLB, by a huge margin, to awful? And these are full season stats, so the level of competition is balanced, just like every other team they are ranked against.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    Huh? Cleveland's bullpen has the best ERA in MLB. The gap between them and 2nd place, is wider than the gap between 2nd and 9th place.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    I think it was being discussed on the radio somewhere, and it was suggested that they just remove the ruptured tendon. Not that that makes it any less confusing.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    They aren't flying commercial. It's still much faster for them to fly. It's a 65 minute flight, including taxiing in and out (46 minutes in the air).
  11. Mr. Brooks
    Cruz is under team control for 2020, as is Cron.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    How is another 10 foot lead going to prevent him from being thrown out by 40 feet? He'd have just been out by 30 feet instead.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    This is two outings in a row where Berrios has sat 2-3 mph down on his fastball. If something is wrong with him, we're in big trouble.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    You don't think Baldelli was playing to win... when he brings in Rogers after he threw 31 pitches last night?
  15. Mr. Brooks
    This is how I feel. The players and management can give all the cliches they want, but this was a defining series, and everyone on both teams knew it. And we laid a total egg. If we have to play a 1 game wild card playoff, after having an 11.5 game lead in the division, it's going to feel like a total gut punch. I don't know what happened in April and May, but it sure feels like that team is gone and isn't coming back. I hope I'm wrong.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    Ok, those are all fair points. But also completely different goalposts than what I quoted and responded to.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    Which measurements? Twins rankings: Team ERA: 5th in AL, 9th in MLB Starters ERA: 4th AL, 8th in MLB Reliever ERA: 8th in AL, 15th in MLB.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    Looks like a doubleheader tomorrow, IMO.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    I'd say it's both. I don't think anyone can argue that the Twins have played their best baseball since early June. It wouldn't have mattered if Cleveland hadn't also been red hot, but both are contributing factors.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    The rankings are not updated in real time. These rankings are from early June.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    I think Pineda is the 2nd lock, before Odorizzi and Gibson.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    I'd be willing to bet a pretty substantial amount of money on those odds, if you're a betting man. In fact, I'll sweeten the deal, I won't even hold you to even money at making the postseason, I'll take 2:3 odds.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    He has 9 K's and 0 BB's in 7 innings. How on earth is that not deserving more chances?
  24. Mr. Brooks
    This is why I only visit Miss Cleo.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    I'd think they could get him pretty close to 120 if they sent him to play fall or winter ball somewhere.
