    Agreed, they should be looking to add. Im not quite as down on the rotation, likely average, middling, and Maeda coming back from injury has a huge array of possibilities, one of which was Cy Young award candidate in the shortened 20 season to what we saw last year shortened by injuries. Gray is a solid to 20 starting pitcher, Mahle is a solid top 30, and Ryan and Ober are above average 4th/5th starters. they likely lack a top end number 1 starter, have solid to good middle rotation and better than average back. It’s a rotation we’ve become accustomed to, designed to win in the regular season. Average… the wide range of possibilities and risk for injury with Maeda, Ober, Gray and the farm…. I’d love to see an additional front of the rotation starter, but I’ve said that for years….

    Stu, you turn your article in early this week. Absolutely hilarious!

    Most of the players were in middle school or elementary 15 years ago. We’d be watching 9 year old Jose Miranda and 12 year old Carlos Correa. i wouldn’t mind having hair again though…
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    Interesting time share thus far at C with Leon starting 4/6 games since the deadline (skipping the 2nd)
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, though I found myself defending his numbers and reading more into them than there really was. I was conflicted about Sano as a Twin because he had shown the tantalizing promise and been accused of harassment that I can’t forgive him for. at least now I don’t have to feel conflicted anymore.

    I’m no doctor, but this seems similar to what AK is going through, complete with pictures at the bottom. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29409430/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28391754/
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    If the Twins were to offer a minor league deal, would Sano accept it? Hard to guess at that, I would lean no.
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’d be pretty upset too, but it’s rather out of character for Rocco to get that heated. I wonder how that plays in the clubhouse and office?

    Rough indeed, I wish AK a speedy recovery. This surgery is a big deal, and I’m sure AK has a challenging recovery in front of him. however it isn’t as radical as it sounds. I had a similar surgery done to my dog in 2008. He had a walking cast for 6 weeks and it solved his wrist and elbow displasia. Dogs have two upper arm bones along with two lower, so when one bone grows longer than the other in the forearm it cause issues in both the wrist and the elbow. With my dog they cut a section of the bone out and pinned it back together, then reinforced with a plate and screws.

    How about today’s game? Was Sands’ 3 innings of shut out relief without value?
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    Maybe just Archer 4 innings Sands 5?
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    It’s still funny. Truth and hilarity are not mutually exclusive
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Get Money!!!! Get PAID!!!!
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Why is Leon’s bunt a Sac? He reached base… isn’t that a hit?
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    What do historians call the 30 some years between? DC?
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    I was encouraged by Duffey’s Late June to late July… then the wheels fell off again. good luck Tyler. I’m sure he’ll get picked up off waivers.
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    nope, I screwed up
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    Exactly! go Twins! mow ‘em down Gray!
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    In terms of rate stats he’s top 5 hitter as short stop. In counting stats (WAR) he’s middle of the pack because he’s missed a few games. He’s on pace for a 4 WAR season and 123 wRC+, That is pretty darn good!
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    Coming into the season the FO had not prioritized the bullpen even knowing the starting pitching staff was going to be closely managed innings, they still traded Rogers for Paddack (another closely managed short start pitcher). Making the bullpen thinner yet. yes the bullpen looks nice for a couple years, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need to improve further.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    It makes all the sense in the world for Correa to opt out after the WS, but that article doesn’t sound like Correa has one foot out the door.
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    The lobbying for the FO to not trade Miranda under what sounds to be some enticing offers. Really good read by Do https://www.mlb.com/news/carlos-correa-did-not-want-jose-miranda-traded

    AK isn’t a machine that can be taken down for PMs and just “fixed”. He’s a human being. Medical science has advanced in ways that I don’t understand, but humanity’s understanding of the human body isn’t exhaustive. 40% of doctors and surgeons get sued for medical malpractice at some point in their careers. when my team develops capital projects for New Product Introduction, the machines are typically not built “bullet proof” as much as we build them with redundancy. Fixing a machine when it goes down takes critical time, so asset functionality are qualified in duplicity. Even machines that can be “fixed” need to have a plan B.

    This is where I’m at too. also, he’s pitched 85 innings in 22, he pitched 92 (plus the Olympics) last year and nothing in 2020. Sure, he trained in 2020 and 2021, but it’s going to take him a year or more to rebuild the stamina to get back to 120+ innings. his workload is being managed, and sophomore slump and all… I’m not worried that he’s had a rough couple months.
