    https://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~bvollmay/baseball/runs1.html Ks have almost no correlation to runs scored. R-squared is statistical fit of the trend line. 0 is no correlation. 1 is perfect correlation. Of course the trend line is negative, but the R-squared is -.078. This in compared to OPS the R squared is positive .9 so if we look at the Twins Ks leading the league, it doesn’t tell us much about how well they score runs relative to the league. the Twins are 24th in the league in Runs scores they of course lead the league in K rate But they’re 22nd in OPS why? Because they’re 16th in walks and 20th in slugging. So yes, they’re 24th in the league in scoring runs. The sneaky thing is they’re second in preventing runs they don’t need to be the best hitting team in the league to go on a tear. Incremental run improvement can absolutely improve this team’s outlook.

    I don’t expect Gray to retire either. He still has a ton of fire. However, Gray strikes me as a guy who would pitch for free.

    And you call yourself a Twins fan?! how did you pass the quiz in order to get your TD login credentials?

    what does “urgency” look like to make a decision for JP? Will JP give a sell order (or buy order) to Falvey by the trade deadline? Has he already? What might need to happen between July 14 and July 24 that might change the course of direction? Is July 24 the deadline?

    NYT moderates their comments, just like Twins Daily does. Not sure if the Strib does, but my guess is, no
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    This is where I’m at too. I’ll believe the urgency when I see it in action. In order to change there actually has to be, you know… change

    inside Twins has the interview https://podcasts.google.com?feed=aHR0cDovL21sYi5tbGIuY29tL2ZlZWQvcG9kY2FzdC9taW5fcG9kY2FzdF9yc3MueG1s&episode=MzI0ZWUwMjYtMmE1NS0xMWVkLWE1ZTAtNDMzYTZjOTk4N2My

    I was on this train for a very long time. Then I read Rocco’s Rant again, and I realized part of his exasperation is, he has no idea what to do. if your manager and hitting coach are at a loss, it’s time to change. Agreed, there likely won’t be enough improvement to magically turn the season around, but a different hitting coach will bring a different perspective that isn’t loss and failure.
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    Not exactly inspirational candidates to be the head hitting coach
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    Does strike shortened count? regardless, winning the AL West was no huge feat. Rangers “won” it with 52-62 record.

    How did the rebuild work for Pittsburgh, Detroit, KC? Rebuilds in baseball take longer than 3 years. Drafted players usually take 5-6 years to reach the MLB Why would you want Falvine to make any trades if you want them fired this off-season? Aren’t they incompetent?
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    Hindsight being 20/20…. Really bad look to not take infield before a red-assed beat down. What a shameful display.
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Just say “no” to rebuilds! but it is time to change the GM and Manager, at least Levine, and Rocco need to go. They clearly don’t have an answer for the frustratingly awful hitting.

    When I read the title I thought “Oh my God! Did Morny die?” Also, 2008 was 6 years into the Gardenhire era. Morneau didn’t make his debut until 2 years after Kelly retired. As to the thrust of the article, agreed, Morneau’s quiet demeanor is in stark contrast to the 4 All Star appearances, AL MVP, and HR Derby champ.

    A couple , five, runs would be nice now

    The trend I see is all of them were named TD Top Prospects. Maybe it’s the curse of Twins Daily?

    Watching Farmer, Castro, Gallo bat can’t be any worse.
