  1. I’m done with PJ Fleck Theres certainly no 7-8 win guarantee moving on from him but the game he plays is just so boring to watch.
  2. Martin has a .583 ops against righties, has never hit them well. Why is he starting
  3. He played full time for 25 games to kick off his career and 2025 and then has never gotten another legit opportunity. Jenkins has already played 12 games, ready to give up on him soon too? Metrics loved what Roden was doing this year with the Twins. He was on a WS runner up team filled with talent, then traded to a team with too many corner OFs. How is any of that his fault? Everything he does will translate to a good ball player. He’s had a .400 obp every year of his minor league career but he’s been on teams either stacked or too dumb to use his services..
  4. “Stretch run” happy to have him back against lefties for his OBP but that’s frankly all he’s useful for. Maybe he goes on a little run and builds a little trade value cause he has no place on the team next year if he can only play OF
  5. Roden has a .400 obp his last 2 minor league seasons and Twins didn’t give him a legit chance this year. If any team would do what you ask, it would be the Twins
  6. Making an assumption that often-injured players are suddenly healthy next year would be insane. And without that miracle happening I don’t see this team getting over the second half hump that they’ve struggled with the last couple years. If they start this next season with guys like Larnach, Gonzalez, Wallner, Roden over Rodriguez then that’s a massive failure for the organization. I’m a fan of Roden too, and I still believe Wallner can be a valuable hitter against righties, but Rodriguez has potential that 98% of prospects don’t.
  7. Even if I’m the GM, number 2 isn’t possible because the money won’t be there. option 4: The worst defensive corner OFs still in the org at AAA/MLB level battle Royce to see who can hold down first base the best.
  8. Mason Miller might be known for his fastball velo but his slider is his dominant pitch. He’s generated a 54.8% whiff rate Acton’s slider- 48.8% Jax’ sweepers best season- 46%
  9. You can base your opinion off of 11 major league innings all you want, but a deep dive shows that he is one of the most dominant relievers in the minor leagues. In the second half he limited opponents to a .421 ops on a .114/.235/.186 line. Even in the limited major league innings, his whiff rate is 98th percentile. He’s might be depth, but he’s high ceiling depth that teams with consistently elite bullpens crave and finesse the approach of every single year
  10. .131 opp BA and huge whiff numbers in AAA this year. Find a way to get in the zone more and he could be a big part of the pen next year
  11. Roden would have had better quality ABs than any of the rookies who played last night.
  12. Agree I love watching my guys strike out when there wasn’t a pitch in the zone
  13. Awful lol. About the worst AB I’ve ever seen. miss the most down the middle pitch all day, watch a strike that you should have challenged and then challenge a strike.
  14. You leave Larnach in and it’s either Larnach against a guy all over the place or Larnach and his .800 ops against a righty. That’s a win win situation. Yes I know that Larnach isn’t good against lefties, but let’s not act like Gonzalez was lighting the world on fire in AAA. He had a roughly league average OPS and instead we get Caratini lol
  15. I don’t agree one bit with removing Larnach for Gonzalez. Keep Larnach in and force Hinch to potentially stick with the guy who is all over the place.
  16. Hit a blistering 65.7 mph and an xBA of .210. He can’t keep getting away with this
  17. Congrats to all Angels fans. I smiled big time when I saw that news. Great news for the sport.
  18. Alex Jackson has a BABIP of .455 He’s not experienced a resurgence, he’s experienced extreme luck. He’s a .170-.200 BA guy with a 30-35% K rate
  19. Obviously so Ross can pinch run and be a defensive sub for their likely playoff run which is at a cool 5.4% 😎 right now
  20. Larnach still has team control so I think that would be pretty silly. As streaky as he is he’s a solid platoon bat easily able to have an .800 ops against righties. Twins have to love on but he has trade value there. They had the chance to move on twice earlier this year and didn’t take it, doing it now with 20 games left won’t make any difference. I’d love to be rid of Bell but you can’t do that do either vet. Twins aren’t a preferred FA destination regardless and would be even less so then. However, I absolutely disagree with rostering a DH only guy with a 107 ops+ on the worst defensive team in baseball. Everyone knew they’d be bad defensively and they still did it. They could very easily bring up the right guys to finish the season. They could have 3 of Roden, Sabato, Rodriguez, Wallner and ride out the rest of the season with the hot bats playing, but the experts chose Alex Jackson, Gabby Gonzalez and Ben Ross instead. None are currently plus hitters.
  21. I’d rank Roden, Rodriguez, Sabato (against lefties), Wallner, Mendez all ahead of Ross and Gonzalez for impact bat for a team struggling to score runs. Instead we’re stuck with Jackson, Ross, Gonzalez, Caratini as a bench. Reminder that the independent league’s league average OPS is about .780, so what Gonzalez and Ross are doing is about league average, vs the .715 or so OPS that is league average for MLB
  22. By adding Gonzalez and Ross, it’s like they’re building a bench for a playoff series, but they’re obviously four games back and still have Alex Jackson on the roster so I just can’t stop shaking my head at the overall roster build since the deadline
  23. I’d love to envision a more interesting bench as well. They have to explore trading some of these excess OFs for some major league help at other positions Take on some contracts that other small market clubs are looking to get out of and get a little more value in your trades.
  24. You disliked my post above, tell me why. I gave only real stats. So tell me how they’re wrong
