  1. Cmon Jose! Walk, single, just don’t make an out
  2. From a fan watch-ability standpoint I agree, from a winning strategy standpoint, disagree. Even a mediocre but fresh reliever is better than a good but tired starter
  3. 80 pitches, does Smeltzer come back for the 8th?
  4. Sonny Gray is the only starter of the 8 for the Twins that pitched more than 110 innings last year. If the rotation innings aren’t managed both the bullpen and the rotation will be blown out in August. Meanwhile, the average start length has been steadily declining (I believe 5.0 innings last year) and the value of a strong bullpen has never been higher. agreed on risk for the bullpen, but not so much because of the short starts, as much as the reduction of multi-inning relief appearances and too few high leverage relievers. There’s too many one inning guys you can’t trust in high leverage situations
  5. Batting average is a component of the “on base” portion of On-base Plus Slugging no? while I’m with you that batting average isn’t the be-all end-all, a high contact rate, high rate of base runners brand of baseball is more fun to watch. agreed with the OP, it’s great to see Arraez have his day and he’s loads of fun to watch.
  6. when you watch it on youtube and they don't play the commercials (and aren't going to the restroom/concessions in breaks at the park) it really highlights how slow the game gets with commercial breaks.
  7. After review, it’s the Kettle river that divides Duluth and Superior, it flows into the St Croix river that goes south to make the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota until it flows into the Mississippi at Prescott, Wi. Superior, Wi is east (southeast really) of Duluth (right hand side of the map). yeah it’s a really big stretch and a bad geography pun im sorry
  8. I think this is a good question, but like others, I think they need more Correas not fewer.
  9. Yeah they’re for real. I’m not confident they’ll stay on track for 98 wins, but they can absolutely win the division.
  10. Agreed, but in that same breath, a team that gets hot at the end of the season can go on a streak. SSS cuts both ways. The point of small sample size caveat is to avoid drawing a conclusion, not prepare yourself for heartbreak
  11. You can if you have enough multiple multi inning relievers it’s possible, but this team doesn’t have enough quality relievers.
  12. Sure, he could have gone back out, but he wasn’t getting two outs, maybe not one. I’d rather have a reliever come on to a clean inning than have to warm up in a hurry or dry hump him
  13. I love your optimism. You must be a Twins Fan
