    Correct, Moran put two runners on, Pagan gave up the three run homer. Pagan allowed two inherited runners to score. Those are as much his runs as Moran’s. FWIW, Moran needs to go too, but it’s not realistic to expect a bullpen full of Durans.

    Walk the bases loaded, surefire way to get out of a jam against the Twins
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    Joey Gallo bunt pop-out in foul territory to first…? Ugh
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    Cmon Donnie Barrels!

    I never said Julien was the answer, only that Kepler is a problem. the Twins absolutely MUST get more hitting from the outfield, and Kepler (and Taylor) are the two most prominent holes in the lineup out there. Neither one of them should be starting regularly
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    in Ed
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    At 100 plate appearances by wRC+ Kepler Ranks 36th in the MLB. That means 5 teams have given 100 plate appearances to two Right Fielders that hit better than Max Kepler. by OPS he ranks 34 Batting average he ranks 46 Even after a monstrous couple weeks, Max Kepler isn’t an MLB starting Right Fielder, and I think that’s a problem.

    I’m with you. Toby is probably heir apparent edit to add: I think he’s a great candidate
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’m with you on doubt Rocco is fired. They’d have to miss the post season, and even then, maybe third place in the division. I have no idea if Cruz can be a good manager or hitting coach. This is probably not the right time for the Twins to find out… unless Falvey or Levine get canned and they gut/rebuild. a scorched-earth rebuild might drive me away from the team. Yuck

    His -0.26 WPA indicates what happens when he’s forced into leverage. my vote is no, he has not atoned. his role needs to be for relievers with 5-6 years of control in front of them, not a 5 year veteran. It’s a terrible investment where you put the cost of using those key development innings and the best case scenario is you get crap innings and then extend him at full market price. nothing against Emilio Pagan, and I hope he gets his money, but it shouldn’t be, because the MN Twins are the poster children for the sunk cost fallacy
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Yes
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    I love a good super utility guy as much as the next, and think he’s earned his spot over G-Cinco, but let’s not over-sell his fielding. He’s average in 6 positions. That has value, but he’s not an “elite fielder”
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    That’s a Fallacy!
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, if they do trade off Gray, there’s no shot in the post season. The pitching is built for the season, not the post season.
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’m with Chief, not worried about Gray’s comments. I’m listening on trade offers for Gray, but only accepting an absolutely silly overpay. He’s worth a ton to the Twins and I want to watch good baseball, not continuous rebuilds. the QO is a win-win for the Twins

  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    To the OP, I agree that it’s easy to game plan against a one dimensional opponent. Lineup construction matters.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    https://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~bvollmay/baseball/runs1.html Disagreed, the linked article does a good explanation of old school stat correlation to run creation
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    And takes Pagan’s spot in the pen
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    But then why measure barrels and hard hit rate? Pitching and hitting stats normalize at different rates, but there isn’t a FIH, just a FIP.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    I caught the Twins at Wrigley pre-renovation and it was just kinda old, but the charm of the rooftop bleachers was cool and the neighborhood around it is awesome! I caught a Brewers game there post-reno. The scoreboard was jarring
