Very nice analysis. Is there a video for the Buxton play mentioned in these sentences? It sounds like there should be a video embedded or linked but I don't see one.

Wow! Cuzzi needs to be suspended by MLB for that. Time for the robot strike zone. That is ridiculous!

One thing that stands out to me in the list of Twins Union Reps above is the lack of diversity. On a team where there are players from many different countries every single union rep for the Twins on that list going back more than a decade is a white guy... maybe it's time for a Latino or African American player to be the Twins Union Rep.

Recently MLB Audio has started included ads for paid subscribers. This is really annoying because every time you select an audio feed you must listed to a 30 second ad. If your internet connection is weak & the app stops audio due to low bandwidth you must listen to another ad to resume playback. If you switch feeds within the same game you must listen to an ad. If you switch games you must listen to an ad. It’s really annoying. I tried to submit feedback through their feedback page, but it has a very restrictive 360 character limit so you can’t write much. Is anyone else bothered by this? Does anyone have any alternative ideas of how to provide feedback to MLB?

Que padre saber que los Twins se encargan de la educación de los peloteros jóvenes. Es muy importante para su vida después del béisbol, especialmente como muy pocos llegarán a tener una carrera exitosa en las grandes ligas.

I've also seen Simmons make some really poor defensive plays so it's interesting to see his OAA being so high. I hope Garver & Arraez will be back soon! These stats show how much they're missed in the lineup. Thanks for writing such a cool article with the statcast metrics!

DEF & UZR don't have individual player metrics? It would be nice to see which players are contributing to those numbers & which have negative #s. Also, the introductory paragraph talked about Polanco but then the article included no stats for Polanco...

Time to stop buying tickets to Target Field then. Make the Twins feel the pain in their financials. Maybe then Pohlads will get a clue & fire Baldelli, Falvey, and Levine.

It’s such a shame. Time for the Pohlad family to clean house starting with Baldelli, Levine, and Falvey.

This season is a tragedy. Total system failure.

I was at the game last night & when Rogers came back out for the 9th instead of Colomé or Alcala I said to my friends that the Twins would lose. And once Rogers let the Rangers tie the game & Wadell was the only reliever warming in the pen I said that Baldelli didn't care about winning the game. It's time for Baldelli to be fired. The Twins have the worst manager in all of baseball.

With Dobnak coming in now this game is lost. He won’t be able to keep the Red Sox off the board.

I agree. The Twins are terrible in game situations under Baldelli.

BOB?

Once again Rocco leaves his starter in there too long
