    All that proves is the Cleveland Guardians are a lot better at baseball than Pittsburgh's AAA team.

    Or he could throw one pitch and suffer a career ending injury (if he hasn't already).
  3. DJL44
    Pitchers get injured often and you only get a 40-man roster to start the season. Most organizations are scrambling to find warm bodies to fill the 14th spot on the pitching staff at the end of the season.

    All sorts of benefits to the players to get experience in playoff games. All sorts of opportunities for them to shine on a big stage. Playoff baseball is fun. Why do you hate fun?

    It would be nuts if Kansas City collapsed faster than the Twins.

    Other posters have called him the clutch god MVP of the team. You don't pinch hit for the clutch god MVP of the team.

    Duran threw 30 the previous day. They can't use him for multiple innings every game.
  8. DJL44
    Blewett vs Tonkin is rearranging deck chairs while the Titanic sinks.
  9. DJL44
    Sam Deduno had great stuff.
  10. DJL44
    I don't see any upside sending Eeles to the AFL to beat up on A-ball pitching again. Fall instructs, yes.
  11. DJL44
    Henriquez has pitched a lot better than Varland this season.
  12. DJL44
    If they're moving players it isn't quite as drastic. They move outfielders around the outfield, corner infielders between 1B and 3B and up the middle infielders between 2B, SS and 3B. Those positions require a lot of the same fundamentals. It is hard to be good at both SS and CF (for example) because there is only so much time in the day to practice each position and you're competing against players who only play SS or only play CF.

    Buxton's cortisone shot and Correa's plasma rich platelet injection fit that description.
  14. DJL44
    I think we already have selected for elite hand-eye-coordination and reaction time among hitters. Visual-motor response time isn't going to get any faster.
  15. DJL44
    They already have that guy - Willi Castro. Jurickson Profar also fits the profile.
  16. DJL44
    When computing WARP lost to injuries they should subtract Buxton from the Twins estimate. He's played MORE games than expected this season.
  17. DJL44
    Boston is out of the race but they could still be a spoiler
  18. DJL44
    Jovani Moran should be back again.
  19. DJL44
    Players don't do that anymore because the worst players are better now than they were 40 years ago. That means the dropoff in performance is nearly zero when comparing an injured starter to a healthy AAA backup. If you're comparing to 30 years ago, those players were able to recover faster and stay on the field more because most of them were taking PEDs.
  20. DJL44
    Eeles will get a shot if he keeps up this level of performance. It may take a while since 2B and LF are the only positions he can play and he's competing with Austin Martin for playing time at those spots.
  21. DJL44
    Agreed. Great job by Matthews shutting down one of the best teams in baseball.
  22. DJL44
    Santander. That guy is Anthony Santander.
  23. DJL44
    Apparently you didn't notice that meant he was getting worse every season. Santana is starting from an OPS of .760 this season. Drop 50 points off that and he's not worth starting. Drop 100 points off that and he should probably be cut from the roster. The Twins have received Santana's best season in 5 years. Do you think they can do that twice in a row? It's a lot more likely he gives them a season like he had in 2021.
  24. DJL44
    Are you talking about the same Alex Kirilloff who can't get healthy enough to play baseball? He's behind Severino on the depth chart.
  25. DJL44
    So you think he should be the closer? He hasn't earned that.
