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.- 34 replies

Yes I did! -
Yup, hitters not hitting is no way to win

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.

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.

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

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.

The Twins also paid the minor leaguers during Covid.

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.

The manager also gave him leash to go 7 innings 4 runs, 7ks, 1 bb. His best outing of his short season.

If either of them were remotely decent, they’d have been recalled weeks ago. The Twins have been fielding a triple-A lineup for weeks

Why is Wallner not on the Twins?

He openly ripped Baldelli in the clubhouse for using spreadsheets -
I wonder if they both wore the same uniform number a 27 man roster could be pulled off?

Absolutely agreed, the hundreds of thousands of people who’s homes were destroyed and the shocking failure of the flood insurance laws/process is a horrible tragedy. watching the Rays and As in minor league parks is pretty lol-worthy though

Nice stab Jonah

16-2 over the last 18

There’s 8 relievers on the staff. The way this team hits, it’s better to have a fireman who can warm up quick and wriggle a starter out of a jam and avoid giving up runs, than to worry about running out of relievers in an 8 man bullpen
