    They're winning with half of their offensive starters on the injured list, Correa and Miranda struggling and Buxton limited to full-time DH. Vazquez has nearly earned his salary for the year and we're halfway through April. That was one of the best free agent signings by any team this offseason. The Farmer trade has also paid off very well so far.

    Sounds like every Brad Radke start.

    The bullpen has been very good too. Pete Maki should get a lot of credit for having his staff ready to contribute on game 1.
  4. DJL44
    Unfortunately it seems to be at the cost of playing less than 50% of the game (no defense) when he does play.
  5. DJL44
    He's rehabbing the injury on the off day. That's the best explanation for the rigid schedule.
  6. DJL44
    Is not paying your bills part of the analytic revolution?
  7. DJL44
    Looks like they need to explain "small sample size" in the next broadcast.

    The optimism here about Randy Dobnak is so bewildering.
  9. DJL44
    Dobnak is still lousy. Why hasn't Woods Richardson pitched yet this season?

    Except it isn't just subscriber money, it's also some of the best advertising rates in television.

    I am going to guess the Twins get a payment at 11:59pm on April 13.

    I have relatives just like him. I still wonder if he's a fictional character, a pastiche of interactions with north metro dullards or an actual person Stu has to deal with. Love how Stu added the self-own for Mr. Hanson with the Ted Williams reference.

    If the electronic strike zone allowed it you would see it 150 pitches a game

    The guy you want on the roster instead of Castro is Kyle Garlick. Wallner is not a good player to start against Luzardo.
  15. DJL44
    The catchers have to love the pitch clock. That's a lot less wear and tear.
  16. DJL44
    It is sad to see one of the best defenders in baseball only able to contribute as a DH.
  17. DJL44
    I don't think Wallner or Celestino would have caught that HR either. It was gone pretty far.
  18. DJL44
    The Twins replaced Steer with Donovan Solano at very little cost. Getting an above average starting pitcher for below average position players (especially when they are blocked) is a good trade.

    I didn't say every challenge took 15 minutes but when they do it is awful. The play that really irritates me is when the player leaves the bag on a slide by a fraction of a millimeter (which is only apparent because we can slow the frames down and analyze them for minutes) and they call the runner out. That runner has been safe since baseball began on that slide but now thanks to replay players have to change the way the game is played. They take two minutes to look frame by frame and actually get it wrong. Wrong, because a baserunner HAS to break contact with the bag in order to slide on top of it. Unintended consequences. I think it would improve replay if they could only review the play at the speed it happened - no slow motion allowed. If it isn't obviously wrong at game speed, c'est la vie.

    Which team has the advantage when officials are only 98% accurate rather than 100% accurate? I am okay with automating calls but I want people to realize there are unintended consequences and it isn't as simple as flipping a switch. And I find wasting 15 minutes to debate whether a tag happened 1/16th of a second earlier than it was perceived in realtime excruciating.
  21. DJL44
    You can't just reprogram the strike zone. You have to change the rule book. Umpires are calling the rule book strike zone the best they can. Instant replay was brought in to eliminate errors but it sucks aesthetically. If they bring in the automated strike zone no umpire thereafter should ever make the Hall of Fame. There won't be any notable difference between a good umpire and a bad one. Doug Harvey can be the last one.
  22. DJL44
    True. Bally's might not be broadcasting Twins games at all as soon as the Yankees series.
  23. DJL44
    Well, a year later neither of Steer or Encarnacion-Strand looks like a stud. If Mahle is gone next year he'll have turned down an extension and probably a qualifying offer which would net the Twins a compensatory draft pick.
  24. DJL44
    The Twins really should have the AAA team come over to Target Field and practice occasionally. Most days it's just sitting empty.
  25. DJL44
    Alex Kirilloff and Austin Martin will probably end up in St. Paul some time this season.
