If Rojas and/or Prielipp have an actual shot at being mlb starting pitching, you are correct. Rojas, agreed with you. Prielipp, he’s pitched 128 innings over 6 years, 82 of which last year. He only has so many bullets in the magazine, I’d rather he used them in the deer stand, and not at the gun range. -
Channeling my inner Chief there are no low leverage relievers

Funderburk grateful for support as wife balances expecting baby while battling cancer sending my well wishes and thoughts to the Funderburk family. I could not imagine going through cancer treatment while caring for a newborn and your husband is on the road 50% of the time.

Victim and victimizer are not mutually exclusive. People are people, we should hold our society to account for the things that do not uphold our societal norms. the fan was wrong for telling Duran to kill himself. Duran was wrong for the gay slur. both are true. i condemn both behaviors and expect both individuals and our society at large to be better than that!

I so desperately want to go to your place of work and throw hot pennies and insults at you.

He has 300 plate appearances of all star and 800 plate appearances of below replacement level. Sure there’s upside, but I get the uncertainty

The Twins IP by SP ranked 4th in 2023. I think Rocco’s SP usage had more to do with how good the rotation is vs how good the bullpen is. same with Shelton, that bullpen sucks, and the starters have been good. The more the starters pitch, the less the bullpen does. it would not shock me at all to see their IP by the rotation ranking drop as the season progresses, injuries will thin the ranks further.

This is essentially what 3M did with Imation and Solventum spinoffs but publicly traded instead of private, so different technical mechanisms.

Falvey would have ran up deficits of $50m per year every year and not paid any interest or principle. He would have been fired in 2018. There’s no way the Pohlads would have let it go like that. I bet they ran up that much in 2020 because they didn’t have gate and concession revenue. Most of that debt had to be from opening Target field prior to 2010, and in 2020 paying all of the employees and minor leaguers with only TV revenue for a very short season. In 2020 Falvey was not the business guy, that was St Peter, and I guarantee that the Pohlads signed off on it, maybe pushed it. In 2010 Falvey was not a part of the Twins. That debt isn’t revolving line of credit, it’s long term debt. however, Agreed, Tom absolutely had something to do with Falvey leaving.

I was not expecting to see anything I agree with. I am pleasantly surprised. i also think these very positive activities/outcomes are being weighed far too heavily. These are inexpensive and superficial gestures that don’t indicate an actual change in how the team is run. It’s the start of a change in how the fans are valued, but again, superficial, depth of commitment needs to be proven.

Evidence? edit: found the source Jim being a CPA really clarifies the root cause of the Pohlad Pocket Protector brigade, jeepers! also Tom was the executive chairman of Pohlad companies and former COO of a car dealership. This really explains the changes so far!

https://www.mlb.com/interactive/mlb-abs-system-explainer “Simplifying to two dimensions Think it’s hard to call a ball or strike just based on the height and width of the zone? Now throw in the third dimension – of where over the plate the zone should be called. While the rule book has long officially defined the zone as being a three-dimensional pentagon shape hovering over the plate, ABS testing in the Minor Leagues led to unsatisfying results when using the 3D zone. Therefore, the ABS zone you’ll see in the Majors is a line set at exactly the midpoint of the plate, 8.5 inches deep. This change eliminated some odd outcomes in testing and produced results more in line with the expectations of players and fans.”

The zone is two dimensional at the middle of the plate

The Jays think Scherzer has dimension?

Damn FX rates!

What? No Rick Astley?

Morris should be able to go 3-4 and then head over to St Paul

Joe Ryan says hi

The Twins have a high likelihood of Twinning on Shelton down the stretch as well. The depth is pretty thin in the infield and bullpen, and already being tested in the rotation.

@C-GangsterRaid the rotation indeed!

Give Austin Martin a Chance to be a Regular.

since the trade deadline 219 PAs, the .074 iso might actually help him because no one will be afraid of throwing him a meatball.
