    I’d kill for mediocre right now

    You knock it off too
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    Knock this crap off
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    Go Twins!

    What did this FO do last offseason? Why would that change at the trade deadline?
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    he has a contract through 2027 at 31m per year. If he tears his Achilles on September 25, whoever holds that contract is paying all of it, because he isn’t opting out at that point. just because it’s a safe assumption that he opts out, isn’t a guarantee he opts out.

    I would take Alex Bregman, but how do you agree with the Sox on him? He’s 31, under contract through 2027 at $31m per year and will absolutely opt out after 2025 or 2026. Also no frickin way do the Pohlads sign off on adding $78m over 2.5 years to the payroll.

    Thank God the FO doesn’t listen to me when I advocated to sell high on The Sheriff
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    Go Twins!
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    Time to start a new win streak
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    73% clean sheets as a bullpen team looking at runs per relief appearance, because I don’t have the time to look at the game logs SFG .36 TBR .405 MN .407 KC .412 I like the clean sheet metric. It paints a more vivid picture. On average 59.3% of their bullpen appearances result in zero runs scored, but with the sample size so small, average doesn’t mean a lot.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    Correct, and yet I have zero faith that The Sheriff’s arm will remain intact through the month of June.
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    TBD is my favorite opposing pitcher, bring on the AAA call up or bullpen game, in game 2 of a series.
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    And the As still aren’t selling out the ballpark every night.
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    The problem is Alcalá has neither command nor control of any of his pitches. He needed to reduce his arsenal to focus on pitching fewer pitches rather than “throw and pray”
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    Correct, also why they need to find and develop depth. When one of the big three goes down, is not the time to find out if Alcala can close games.
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    Name This Player - Ron Davis
    Yes I did!
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    Yup, hitters not hitting is no way to win
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    Indeed it was! The OP points out that $4k is significant money to minor leaguers, not a lot to billionaires. I wonder if there’s other things happening in the background. Yes, the Pohlads have a long history of miserly penny-pinching, but they’ve also done the right thing when it matters.
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    Typically laid-off workers get paid for unused PTO and a severance. This does not, and should not stop the business decision to change skill sets or right-size.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    No need to guess https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-bullpen-usage/ Topa hadn’t pitched in a week. Absolutely perplexed that Topa wasn’t trusted with a lead over Alcala
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, Alcala should not be used in Leverage. He has no idea where his pitches are going. in 2024 only Jax made 70 appearances (72). Sands made 62, Duran 58. 70 isn’t some huge milestone, but the OP has a point that 70+ appearances should not be counted on.
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    The Twins also paid the minor leaguers during Covid.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    We can quibble about 12th bring above average. I’d call it average. Still, your point remains accurate. 2023 the Twins ranked 4th in innings pitched by starting pitchers. Baldelli tries to avoid mid-inning calls to the bullpen because inherited runners score at a high rate, but he does give his starters leash. The quick-hook stereotype is not a Baldelli thing, it’s a league-wide thing.
