    With the peanuts
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    Good guess! You might come up short if he comes back out for the shutout
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, why I’m so frustrated w/ hitting and the FO. A bit more hitting will go a long way!

    The Moneyball maxim prioritizing OBP as a key metric does still hold water. SLG drives runs, but avoiding outs can bunch up runs. balls in play forces fielding to be more effective, but as we saw in Miranda’s last stint in Minneapolis, quality of contact matters too. interestingly, OBP is up .03 in our small sample size.

    So it’s Rocco’s fault when they’re bad, but it’s they players when they are good?
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    congrats to the FO for signing a mediocre player and achieving mediocrity!
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    All of us?

    You’re going to jynx it!

    To the OP, I agree that Rocco is a good modern leader, and he’s pulling every lever he can to squeeze more out of a terrible lineup. he also rolled with Popkins instead of hiring a better/more experienced hitting coach. He’s running out of levers to pull on squeezing more out. While the issue is the roster, it still might be time at the end of the season to move on from Rocco
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    We aren’t in the clubhouse. We don’t know what he says or how he approaches players in private.
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    there is a difference between process and results.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    Yuck, no If they got the bang for the buck that Tampa gets but still spend league median, great, but they won’t. Penny pinching sucks, and all the teams emulating Tampa suck too.
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    That was my assumption too. He’s worth more than league minimum, but less than the market rate contract he signed plus an a-ball flier?
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    I go to a couple games per month, listen to the radio for at least part of 60-70% of the games, probably 40-50% of the innings. my interest has been deteriorating as June progressed
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    What’s he worth in trade?

    https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/player-scroll?player_id=641927#plinko jis average release point is 5.8 ft to 6ft! And letting it go at the front of the mound! Yowza!
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, one of the aspects that I hope for most is a comprehensive and flexible package (streaming or what have you) that I can pay for watching the game at home, like I can in-person. Buy a game, buy a package, buy a season. It shouldn’t be a patchwork quilt!
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, compared to the Twins being the second most pinched team in baseball and all the different lineups…. All the whining about Rocco seems to me, to be misplaced. He’s pulling every lever he can to squeeze a little bit more out of a terrible hitting team. unreal how good Atlanta is by comparison.
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    Baltimore is a very good team, but even 3 runs would have been pretty sleepy.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    Best of luck to Royce, hopefully he recovers in the minimum and Miranda makes the most out of his opportunity
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    100% accurate, you’ll never see the Pohlads go all-in like San Diego did. This team will always be cost conscious. however if you don’t grow the top line, it’s very hard to grow the bottom line. winning drives top line sales. half measures to win the division but not go all in to win a World Series is the most likely outcome (as we’ve seen)
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    Yes, but hitting is a skill. This FO signed and traded for 3 replacement level or worse players in an offseason after they struggled to score runs, and traded away their best hitter (not the debate and I still would have done that trade). The FO acquires talent and sets the strategy. the talent on the hitting side is bad the strategy isn’t working Execution of the strategy by the coaches might not be working either, but it’s hard to tell because the talent is so bad and the strategy of dead pull hitters and replacement level utility infielders is so bad.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    When you watch the Twins, do you find yourself stomping on the imaginary drivers ed. brake? I think of traffic
