As most of us are from the Midwest, “tied for 2nd” probably strikes the right balance- 44 replies

Yes, this is data, good data. Now I wonder about factors like Time of Year, since the Dodgers weren’t really “looking for a bright spot” at that point but they hadn’t locked up the division, either. thank you. When you say, “all teams do this”— believe me, I get that. I guess I’m still thinking up to how to put players in the best position to succeed and build a winning team. It’s an academic exercise at this point. The Twins are who they are at this point. They thought Josh Donaldson and Lance Lynn were good bets, though those guys weren’t a great fit despite their projections. On it goes.

And this isn’t data. Thanks for the reply though. The Twins operate like this: a relief pitcher on the bubble throws a nice outing like Dobnak, and gets sent down. A batter faces a platoon situation in the middle innings, they are pulled from the game. Someone gets the winning hit the night before? “Hit the pine today, Jack.” It would be interesting to see the data, if good teams like the Dodgers or Cleveland do things the same way the Twins do.
-
The very first thing I said was that, to me, it’s not about Dobnak. Will you show us data on how the other 29 teams decide on non-injury bullpen demotions to the minors?
-
it’s not so much about Dobnak, but about how the Twins treat their players. Dobnak does a great job and gets handshakes from the bullpen guys, next thing you know Dobnak’s on a different flight back to AAA. Message for the back end bullpen guys = do a good job, get demoted, Everyone else should be rested. Dobnak could easily have been allowed to recharge for a couple of days like any other guy, be available for Wednesday for sure. and there is the small chance maybe he even found his grip this year and can roll some good innings consistently and makes spot starts. (not likely given his history but not impossible). The MLB doesn’t need a rule; the Twins need a plan. I would be interested to see how often the well run teams do this kind of stuff, as compared to the other cookie cutter teams like the Twins.

It’s just crazy.
-
The Twins should be 4-0 right now. If they didn't have to play the games, everything would be fine.
-
So I think this is a MLB.com glitch, but if this at-bat really happened, it’s some real Frank Drebin Naked Gun stuff
-
I have no opinion on whether Ober should have pitched sick today, or been bumped back a few days. Cleveland scratched Tanner Bibee from their opener, and Bibee came back 3 days later today to pitch 5.2 scoreless innings. But then you also hear about those stories of guys who pitch great while sick (or hung over). So who knows,
-
I am thinking it is not fun for these guys to come to the clubhouse. They are already dragging. It showed in the final few innings I saw of the opener, and in some of Rocco’s comments about spring training, This regime has always seen its players as statistical profiles assigned a uniform number, and it finally caught up to them late last summer. Simulation models do not run collapses like that last season, but human beings do.

Is Correa smoking line drives and getting unlucky, or is his bat slow or something else wrong. -

Name Yer Twin, Episode 5

The leg drive, and also the lighting looks to be “well after dark” = the bullpen hours Just to be different, Jared Burton. My concern with that pick is that the seats were usually empty by the time Burton came in to pitch, in those years.
