  1. In a very special Shopping with the Enemy, you too can cheat with the best of them first we have the weapon of choice for this series’ enemy Unfortunately the matching drum stick isn’t available for Astros fans (I wonder why) but you can make due with this billiard cue you can also get creative sending in game text messages with this fashionable branded case
  2. I think it’s time to mash the accelerator on my Celestino fandom
  3. Awesome analysis! Really great work
  4. Relief pitching has generally been good. Agreed that they could use another high leverage arm, but that is also a talent that can be found internally. I think it’ll be Archer because… Im worried the rotation will run out of gas in August. Minor leaguers don’t usually provide that late season boost because they play shorter seasons and Archer isn’t really stretching out. I’d look to see if they could swing a trade. A bench bat/DH seems like a need, but Arraez also could be that if Lewis and Miranda stick.
  5. To @Trov’s point, just like actual theft, base stealing deterrence is way more effective at mitigating runs than actually catching steals. It’s not a great measurement at any sample size.
  6. Very good point, and makes a more clear impact of the depth discussion. If the Twins still had Rogers, they’d have more depth in the bullpen. However that depth wouldn’t come at the expense of innings for Pagan and Duffey (yet) which is where most of the bullpen blow-ups have happened thus far. Relief pitchers are so volatile, there does need to be a level of fungibility. Especially for a team that can’t afford to eat very many $10m contracts
  7. Agreed the Twins have 3 blown saves in 7 save opportunities (as of 5/5) the Padres have 4 blown saves in 15 opportunities. That would be 1.2 more wins on the young season. where I think it might help is increasing the depth of the Twins bullpen. They might have another save opportunity or two added on, with a couple extra holds. https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/mlb/most-blown-saves-mlb-2022-sgc/
  8. It takes a village to raise a baseball team. In my own job, I’ve received undergraduate training, graduate training, mentorship using official job program, unofficial mentorship, official training at work, and on the job training from more senior leaders in my organization. And I share my own insights with my colleagues. in short, we never stop learning and the sources of education are diverse and complex. I think this topic relates really well to the chemistry topic. Strong team chemistry can also help strengthen the official and unofficial coaching. Having clear communication and strong relationships can only help the finer points of education and training be shared more effectively.
  9. To give Dazzle some grace if the home plate view looks reasonable but the outfield view appears impossible play, Dazzle saw it real time from right behind the plate
  10. Looks like the clock struck midnight for Bundy
  11. Great example RpR. Soft tissue injuries can flare up, sometimes they need surgery, others not, and people grind through them. We’ve all lived with pain that affects life for some duration. It doesn’t all get reported. I mean the daily column in the Strib would be two full pages of nagging injuries if every little thing was reported, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an impact to player performance.
