That sounds suspiciously like math to me -
Analytics has hurt the Twins
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Twins87's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I think the trends of modern baseball emphasizing strikeouts by pitchers and three true outcomes by hitters has hurt the fans of baseball. teams with better analytical modeling make decisions more frequently on average, that result in winnning more games, but those same decisions make the sport less watchable by the fans. When winning the game doesn’t translate to winning the fans. it’s why I like the Manfred rules. They have thus far encouraged decisions and outcomes that make the game more fun to watch. it’s not the tool that’s causing the decision and the outcome. It’s the people in charge. it’s not the bat’s fault that Joey Gallo strikes out 50% of the time. It’s Joey Gallo’s fault. -

Good perspective we see the exact same situation very differently. you: “they’re a good bullpen only 2 relievers short” me: “this bullpen sucks 3/8 of the pen are mop up long men” Ha! -

Can you point to the analytics that causes the decision you disagree with? What’s the proof that it’s analytics promoting the decision and not Rocco seeing a soothsayer or Maki getting his palm read? Every decision anyone has ever made involves collection of information, dissemination and decision making. Why does the tool matter? Personally, I think the record is because the bullpen sucks, and Buck and Correa have vastly underperformed.- 87 replies

Winder is first chair mop, Jordy Blaze is second chair mop, that makes Sands third chair mop. Hmmm, no problem there

Another very good Gray start wasted by crap hitting and a worse bullpen

Good night Gracie

Found him!

Super-frustrated!

How would one color you “perplexed”? Is that kinda orange with chartreuse polka-dots?
-
I’m frustrated too
-
Wow!

While I’m not a fan of the Win stat as a measurement of pitcher effectiveness (tonight a great example of why), I’d really like to see the hitters score a couple this inning to set up Sonny for a W.

Jason Delay really throws me following on gamecast. Delay on deck, delay on second… I keep wondering what’s causing the Delay?

What about a Donnie?

Agreed, and the Pohlads might tighten the purse strings a bit. One never knows…

Souhan: Snooty Twins Fans Should Chill a Bit
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
He’s a contrarian. Just you wait, they win the World Series, fans on top of the world, and Souhan will be his usually grouchy self. -
A big salami

Let’s see him play first on his rehab assignment
