  1. win probability added is the best stat for that......how much did he add or detract from the likelihood a team wins.
  2. I agree with this. We aren't perfect. We should strive to be so......
  3. Throwing a baseball at someone because your feelings are hurt isn't brave. Or mature. Or require balls. Or giving a darn. It's sad. If the twins didn't want the sox to play anymore, the twins should have walked off the field and forfeited.
  4. It's not sportsmanship. It's a silly unwritten rule. If he shouldn't try, the twins should walk off and forfeit. Otherwise, he should try.
  5. You realize the best teams are worried about launch angle and exit velocity, right? That this is what Ted Williams preached, with different words?
  6. That's stupid. Swing. These guys get paid based on stats they put up.
  7. He's one of the starters. I'm not sure I understand. Now, if you are asking why they signed two bad starters, that's a good question for a team supposed to compete....
  8. Pitching gurus... Where are you? I was promised pitching gurus....
  9. I don't understand why anyone wants a number 5 starter, and to be happy those expectations are met. I'd want to aim higher. I'm hopeful they move him to the bullpen soon, and give one of the minor league players an extended run.
  10. This is what I want....get experience for some players for 2022......
  11. I also expect no heat from the media.......the media is in bed with sports.
  12. This isn't a popular belief, but there isn't always an answer or reason why things happen.....other than the bullpen, this could not have been predicted at all. Sometimes bad stuff just happens.
  13. Which RP and SP do you think he wants more than he has? Including the majors and minors? Or hitters? I mean, the minors are barren other than Thorpe and Jeffers at this point for immediate help.....
  14. I didn't say too long....I said it didn't work...which is how people here seem to judge decisions......and, none of it was personal. You attacked my position, not me. Which is great on a forum. He'd just walked two guys.....people here would be blasting him if he'd left him and it didn't work.....really, there is no good option there given this bullpen. If they had even an average 'pen, making the move there is an easy choice. Frankly, I feel bad for Rocco.....there just aren't good options, and it isn't like he gets to hire these guys, he gets who he gets.
  15. Robles outperformed the odds there......the problem was the starter was finally left in like you all have been BLASTING the manager for not doing.......I'll sit here and wait for everyone to talk about how wrong they were about that.....
  16. When I'm at the bottom of a thread and hit next or back, it sends me to the bottom of the new page. Seems like it should be the top. Using my phone
  17. Isn't that true of every club?
  18. Offense is DOWN across the league. The Twins are median in runs scored.....not that you can peanut butter them this early in the season, but over time it should even out. Not that median is good, btw.....
  19. If you have to create a new theme....ugh. I'd move that down your list for sure if it is that much work. Anyway, like the nice clean look and font. Great work.
  20. I couldn't disagree more about sprinting on a routine ground ball.
  21. Big fan of the ability to set it so that clicking on the thread name takes me to the first post I haven't read, instead of the thread beginning! Hoping for dark mode....
  22. I have no interest in Rooker....he won't even come close to Sano's production, and not Kepler's either (esp. if you factor in defense). Lanarch? He should be up in a month, give or take. It's not like he's 19 years old.....
  23. To be clear, you think you'd have to package Sano and Kepler to get 1 good RP? Also, you might want to look at power and walks, and not just BA.....because every team does when assessing players' value.
