When do the Twins get a guy like Bryant, Correia, or Kang or others that come up or over and just dominate (and stay that way for more than 1/2 a year)? Why does that NEVER happen here, when it clearly happens in other organizations?
I was more keeping myself from commenting on sitting the German......what is he up for here, exactly? Is this how you develop your best hitting prospect? stuff like that......
there is a pretty cool article on Fangraphs, where a hitter describes what he was thinking in his 4 ABs......it is also pretty revealing about the difference between pitchers a team knows well, and ones it does not. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/darin-ruf-on-four-plate-appearances-vs-cincinnati/
Well, we still need to get 1-2* cars from here to OR.......but it isn't the same as a truck. *Well, my son and his girl friend are going to drive out this May also....we just don't know if they are driving her car, or one of our cars.....
I understand why someone would do it, I don't agree it is optimal to take out your best hitter, to make a very unlikely scenario come true. YMMV, of course.
but, weren't we told that sequencing is bunk, and that was not how the Twins won 83 games last year, that that was their true talent? I'm so confused, Brock.
Except clutch, for a team, isn't generally consistent year to year. They were SUPER clutch last May.....but I do think something like clutch exists....
