wow yeah I am trying to construct a lineup of left handed hitters, and they need to get Brooks Lee active for the Twins tonight immediately. The extra switch hitter will be useful in this series given Detroit has the two good lefties in the pen. -
Reese Olson is just ok, not great. Load up the lineup with your lefties and let em rip. Predicting a score like 12-6 tonight.

I feel like they did that recently, I vaguely remember some dustup about who got to start on opening day and it wasn't the acknowledged Ace of the staff (Berrios? Gray? Don't remember) because they wanted to arrange the starters optimally. And that generated some discussion. But now it's back to 1-2-3-4-5, right. I feel like it's easier to juggle guys around the rotation than not, somebody skips a day, add in a bullpen day, and shazam you have a new pitching order. MIght even be wise to look at favorable matchups on the schedule ahead. Just be sure to get buy-in from the pitchers and let them know!

Name Yer Twin, Episode 11
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
ok Jose Monkey, can you tell me why there is a fancy banner hanging in the background, and people wearing t shirts? That's why I picked Dozier, thinking it might be around the All-Star game in 2014. I ccannot place those banners at any time during the Rooker years! -
Name Yer Twin, Episode 11

You are good at this so I hesitate to go against you, but I picked Brian Dozier. -
As most of us are from the Midwest, “tied for 2nd” probably strikes the right balance

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.
