Please elaborate. I’m not sure I get what you mean. -
Still need to call a good game, and actually catch a ball thrown at you at 100 mph. i still do directionally agree that receiving the pitch to improve the odds of the umpire calling a strike won’t be a thing anymore and defensive specialists won’t be a thing anymore. They already are pretty rare.

I disagree with the juvenile characterization of Lewis. Understanding of things a person can control and things they cannot shows maturity to me. i read those quotes as frustration in the situation, of which I can’t blame him. I’m frustrated in the situation too

As a season package holder, I do not wait until day-of to purchase tickets. As far as I understand it, something like half of MLB tickets are sold before the season starts. Yes, star-power sells tickets, but winning sells more tickets (unless you’re the Rays). The article was a systematic development approach to get more out of marginal minor-league pitchers. Clearly no team would construct an entire pitching staff out of 3 inning pitchers, it would waste potential of some, and stretch capability of others. on the other hand, every team has a Simeon Woods-Richardson or two in their rotation. Wouldn’t it be great if every 5th time through the rotation wasn’t effectively a bullpen game? Or if it were a bullpen game, you had a scheduled game upcoming you were confident of only using two pitchers, and not an automatic loss?

Good observation. I wish Keirsey well, but I hope you are wrong and Buck is fine. It’s been great watching him finally healthy
-
He’s clearly off somehow, but that doesn’t take away from my fan appreciation for him being a good dude. Signing autographs, always a smile and positive disposition. It’s great to see, and sad we don’t see more of it. Sometimes it feels like the fans get forgotten in all this stuff. not Royce, he knows the fans are why he has a job. It’s refreshing

The 56 wRC+ with horrible fielding is a big loss?

I’d kill for mediocre right now

You knock it off too

Knock this crap off

If the Red Sox sell, who do you want?

What did this FO do last offseason? Why would that change at the trade deadline? -
If the Red Sox sell, who do you want?
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
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

Time to start a new win streak

Clean Sheets in the Bullpen
Richie the Rally Goat replied to jorgenswest's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
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. -
Correct, and yet I have zero faith that The Sheriff’s arm will remain intact through the month of June.
-
TBD is my favorite opposing pitcher, bring on the AAA call up or bullpen game, in game 2 of a series.

Target Field Attendance 2025
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Vanimal46's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
And the As still aren’t selling out the ballpark every night. -
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”
