Richie the Rally Goat replied to Vanimal46's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I like this plan. While it’s technically “selling” it’s not exactly punting 2023 for 2024. Thielbar would be missed pretty badly, but churning some AAA pitchers through the pen could develop quality relievers pretty quickly. Polanco hasn’t been available, and the rest is addition by subtraction. also agree with 60-day-ing Buck. It’s not just a streaky slump. He’s clearly hurt. -

Also on the seafood menu Seasalt at Minnehaha park, hike the falls, enjoy the outdoors

I do not recommend eating rally goat, far more effective alive…. then again, maybe it’s time to change my moniker given the current state of the team

The Jucy Lucy debate still persists. I suggest you decide for yourself at the two self-proclaimed inventors Matt’s Bar and the 5-8 Club. Also one of my favorites Pizzeria Lola.

I’m a believer in the run creation stats, but I’m with you. I’m frustrated with this team’s inability to avoid outs.

Can you have 9 batters hit 9th?

Do Ober's Innings Matter?
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
How long is the list of pitchers who were good enough to be in the bigs, but aren’t workhorses? -
Do Ober's Innings Matter?
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Sonny Gray also isn’t a workhorse anymore and Louie Varland pitched the most innings he’s ever pitched last year at 130. i’d rather have a 6 man rotation for a 6 weeks or so to give the rotation breather than artificial short starts -
I was with you on time to give up on Lopez… then I was think “bridge too far”… however, he’s been awful for a month and doesn’t exactly have a long track record of success. you might be right, it might be time to cut bait on Lopez, but they need to DFA Pagan first.

only if you have two hands

Good question!

Whenever I see Boyd, I think “boy was I wrong, good thing I’m not the Twins GM!”
-
Yes

That and the unproven guy had better have options and if he proves to not be better, be replaced by another guy
-
Exactly! How do you know you don’t have an internal option until you try?

I’ve been waiting to use this

Do you believe in these Twins?
Richie the Rally Goat replied to cHawk's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
MAT and Larnach are both good outfielders, I wouldn’t have any issue with them and Wallner in order, Wallner up, DFA Solano, Gallo up, DFA Kepler (or vice verse), Buxton return, there’ll be an injury somewhere else, or a difficult demotion of Wallner or Larnach -

Garlick for Buck is a no-brainer Polanco is a tougher decision, but he’s been so bitten by the injury bug this season, I wonder how much he’ll contribute this year. Maeda’s been starting on his rehab assignment, so alas, he won’t be relieving immediately -

Agreed, they’ll win a terrible central. I think they DFA Pagan, bring up Maeda for a bullpen role, and DFA Kepler to bring up Wallner. I don’t think they will make a deadline trade, but Correa turns it around, and the youth movement, Julien, Wallner, Larnach, Kiriloff, Lewis lead the way -
Did he? Ryan’s career w% was 47% and went to the post season 4 times in 18 years. Falvine’s career w% is 52% and went to the post season 3 of 6 years. I don’t love Rocco, I don’t hate him either. If he were to get fired he’d be replaced by another Rocco by a different name. While I am very frustrated with this team, Baldelli and Falvine have been very successful relative to the Twins post mid-90s collapse. They do deserve a bit of leash, at least through the season.
