    Oh man! Bring on the bullpen

    EDDIE! Eddie! Eddie!

    Woooooooo! Way to lead off BD!

    blake beat me to it, but in all seriousness, a dose of kids cold meds and an Ipad with cartoons has done that job.
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    Ipad loaded with cartoons and little dab of booze in their sippy cups

    Call me obtuse, but it took me awhile to figure out you were talking about Rochester, Minnesota and not the home of our beloved Red Wings Rochester, NY

    and the surprising part is generally Gee has gone out for 2-3 innings at a time in relief. He's been great in the Andrew Miller role, not Andrew Miller great, just plain ol' great, but I'll take it.

    rest easy my friend. according to my handy Twins schedule, start on Thursday is 11:10 AM, not 11:10 PM. You won't get any work done on Thursday afternoon instead of not getting any work done on Friday morning

    hes a good fielder at 3rd, ok at SS and 2nd and .750 OPS hitter. .750 OPS starts at SS if you're a defensive whiz. It don't start at 2nd or 3rd. He's no defensive whiz either. I maintain hes a valuable utility fielder, but no cornerstone. LNP was no core player either. Check out the similarity score on bbref. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/e/escobed01.shtml Number 1 is ...
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    I like EE a lot, but hes a utility player. Important and good utility player, but utility none the less. Tough to put him in the "Core".
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    i like your plan but i'd add at least one reliever, maybe 2 thatd pretty much a high end setup man as well.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    Pythag run differential according to bbref puts them at 55 wins, which more or less fills the gap. It must be the manager and all that veteranness
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    indeed, 68 run differential on defense is huge. 4.45 runs per game scored in 2016. 4.63 runs per game in 2017. that's only 28 runs on 162 games, 3 wins.
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Defense is big, but 68 runs differential on defense is what, 7 wins Pythag? Where did the other 10 wins come from?
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    10 starting pitchers for how this club was prepared last year is really tough, however 10 starting pitchers in a season is no "monumental task". https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.mlb.com/163495284-mlb-teams-need-starting-pitching-depth.amp.html In 2015 on average, a ball club trotted out 10.9 starters. From 2012 to 2015 40 teams made the post season. Those 40 teams has on average 39 starts per season by pitchers not in the opening day rotation. The Twins aren't breaking new ground. They're getting better quality pitching from the reserves than seasons past, but it's not alarming at all. By the way, the one team in 2015 that used 16 starters; the Dodgers, who were playoff contenders and have built their strength largely on a strong farm club (and huge cash).

    Hi John - Happy anniversary. Great podcast as always. It might have been easier to follow if the podcast had been edited together in the order it was recorded with the disclaimer at the beginning, sorry we might repeat ourselves on the radio portion. Otherwise, one of my favorite discussions of yours while on the air. I do enjoy a lively debate, sometimes the radio aspect can serve to tone down what would become more spirited debate were there a couple of beers consumed first.
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    thats still a low bar
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    Kevin Jepsen and Ricky Nolasco were very moderately priced signings. Low risk, low investment, low reward, low fan morale, low win total. lets try a new approach I mean sign a couple of high end guys who have he track record to lock down the back of the bullpen. Rely on Shaggy et al. for the front of the bullen and if they take off and take over the back of the bullpen, they are that much better off and that much deeper.

    YOU TURNED THE PAGE! Stop turning PAGES!
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    i did forget!
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    to be fair, during the 6 game winning streak, only Erv went 6 innings. 5 of 6 were 5 inning starts or fewer. That's a ton of over exposure. The bullpen was due for a dud. Here's hoping it's only one.
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Great stuff as always Tom. Exciting to see Enns coming up.
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    great to see the improvement out of Rosario, seems like Polanco is starting to come around (albeit a very small sample). Can we replicate with Buxton too?
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    bold prediction as neither Mauer nor Dozier are under contract in 2019...
