    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.
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    A big salami
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    Let’s see him play first on his rehab assignment

    The two sites measure WAR differently. Think Metric system vs Imperial. I’m me tall, whether you measure me at 5’10” or 178 cm. Agreed, we can’t compare bWAR to fWAR, however this does give us an idea of the differences in how teams measure players value/performance differently.
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    The odds of having Lopez, Gray, Ryan, Maeda and Ober all healthy going into October seems low to me. I haven’t seen a clear time table on Ryan, he’s probably back in time, but unclear.

    Who is going to come in and take over leverage setup duty from Pagan and Jax between now and the post season? Stewart doesn’t have an ETA. Thielbar and? Balazovic? Sands? Winder? Floro? Currently minor leaguer? What choice will Rocco have, if not Pagan? In the post season, every inning is leverage. There needs to be several leverage setup men to get to Duran.

    I always thought Murray was behind the goofy pig roaming around and haircuts, and the weird contests. But Veeck referred to his own son as “Night Train”! That is wonderful, and insightful, of who Veeck really is as the voice of the ownership group.
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    Well said! I’m not ready to trust Pagan, but I recognize that he’s stepped up lately. Jax? Nope
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    I have cursed Pagan all season, but he has had several very successful leverage appearances in a row now.

    a little too on-the-nose, Chief
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    Golden Arches, agreed BK fries are nasty
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    Indeed I did turn it off, I was pissed off! But I did check the game recap. If accurate he hasn’t pitched since Wednesday
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Jax hasn’t pitched in a week… but why not Balazovic with a huge lead?
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    I think Dobnak is just the right amount of “looked”
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    Concur!
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    The Twins lead the league in innings pitched by starters. The issue isn’t Baldelli pulling starters too soon.
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    How’s Polanco at digging short hoppers at First?
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    Concur with the editors note
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    There’s no way he makes a post season roster, so he gets at most 10 starts. The only way he does is if there are two more injuries in the rotation, and if that happens…
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    This is where I’m at too. Sonny and Pablo are both looking like they’re nursing some owies that might flare up into something worse, and Ober has already pitched the most innings in a season. The strength of the team in the first half is stretched right now, DK can help keep some depth. also agreed w/ @chpettit19 WHIP of 2 is unsustainable, but he can help cobble things together for a while.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    Don’t apologize for a long OP. Great post!
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Welcome to TD! I am not, and never have been a major league pitcher. Comparing my gas to Dallas Kuechel’s isnt fair. Just like it wouldn’t be fair to compare his spreadsheets to mine. I’d kick his ass in a quant competition! expectations are, and should be, higher for MLB players.
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    Laureano 83 wRC+, Luplow 81 wRC+. Maybe not enough better to be worth the transaction cost.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    He has 121 Ks, if he plays all 50 of the remaining, he’ll whiff 1.39x50=69 more times which would be 190 times on the season. Not his personal record, but more than Sano’s 178 in 2016. He has played in 80% of the team’s games, if that trend continues, he might come up a few Ks short.
