    May 2014 since deGrom has given up three homers at home.

    Per radio guys again, A-Stud has highest career batting average ever among players with at least 38 games and 107 at bats. Take that, Ty Cobb.

    Per radio guys, Buxton sixth in MLB in exit velocity. From the bat, I assume. Probably first in exit velocity from first base.

    In most churches I’ve been to, getting a front-row pew hasn’t been hard. Unless I’m late and that’s all that’s left.
  5. IndianaTwin
    Small sample size, but I think the Twins rotation is closer to Cleveland's (particularly if Cleveland has an injury) than Cleveland's offense is to the Twins. I like our chances.
  6. IndianaTwin
    And whoever has Pineda in your fantasy league is whining to whoever has Perez about not getting this win.

    See previous note on La Tortuga — not even Chuck Norris or the Dos Equis guy can do that!
  8. IndianaTwin
    La Tortuga — so awesome he scores on his own sac fly.
  9. IndianaTwin
    Extend Pineda!

    Being around .500 as a new manager may not be too bad if one considers that fired managers often have teams that were below .500. While it’s not controlling for a single variable, it would be interesting to know the number of games has fared better or worse than the previous manager.
  11. IndianaTwin
    If we can limit the bullpen to 15 pitches per game, it should be a pretty good season!
  12. IndianaTwin
    Is it too late to say, “I am”?
  13. IndianaTwin
    91. On pace for 87 and then get MadBum at the deadline and go on a roll. Besides, I like to use the numbers '87 and '91 any chance I get when talking about the Twins.

    And let’s not forget that if Der Schlagger cracks 23 homers, he’ll become the career leader among those born in Germany.
  15. IndianaTwin
    So Pineda will have more time since the surgery than Lynn, Harvey, and Lackey, the three guys who threw 200+. That seems like a good sign. On the other hand, he will have less time than the three who threw less than 120. That seems like a bad sign. I prefer the good sign.

    It will also be interesting going forward. Given the general skittishness of the market and the worry about the ability of a TJ survivor breaking down again, if he has a good year, I could see him having a tough time getting the long deal he probably will be seeking. Of course it only takes one team willing to take a chance. But at any rate, if he does indeed come back strong, I’d be inclined to reach out to him mid year about his willingness to extend a year.
  17. IndianaTwin
    Great article. I could look up the answer, but you probably already have the data. What month did each of these guys have their TJ surgery? One never hopes for an injury, but I’ve also wondered if the knee injury could be a blessing in disguise. He was able to rehab back to a point of near readiness and then forced to take a break, which allowed for what amounts to an extended offseason before resuming a normal preparation for this season.
  18. IndianaTwin
    Yeah, I was just using Rendon because he was the only infielder on the list of the top eight or so potential free agents. My point was more about the advantage of having half the season to know what your need REALLY is (and whether one person can make a difference), rather than having to make an educated guess.
  19. IndianaTwin
    Thanks -- either didn't know that or forgot it. Both of which happen frequently. But the point about not losing a pick with a rental still stands.
  20. IndianaTwin
    If they are that close to last year's payroll, I don't see him or Kimbrel happening. What I could still see is using $12 million to get a half-season of guys with $24 million in contracts if they are in the running in June/July. I understanding people saying, "Why not get a whole season's worth of a guy, rather than just a few months of a rental," but a real advantage of rentals is that it gives you the opportunity to see what the present need is. What if Pineda and Perez do pan out, but Sano doesn't come back and Marwin or Polanco blows out a knee and they are three games out on July 4? At that point, having budget to rent Anthony Rendon is probably more helpful than the extra starts of slight upgrade from Perez to Keuchel. Plus, with a rental, they actually PICK UP a draft pick with a QO next winter rather than losing one this year.

    Yaz would have played through it.
  22. IndianaTwin
    One can only hope this is the end of the story... (Which is still my favorite scene of the entire movie.)
  23. IndianaTwin
    Chief, there's a Mr. Ham on line 5 for you.
  24. IndianaTwin
    If all he does is get us a few days with unis as awesome as the one pictured, his contract will have been a success.
  25. IndianaTwin
    I'm with you throughout --.I've stated this elsewhere, but I think the M.O. for the front office is to make a fairly high volume of moves, hoping to nudge the needle more times than not. I would have liked them to get at least one more legit arm for the bullpen (my preference was Robertson). Particularly when it comes to starters, I hope the message to other GMs in doing their due diligence has been, "We're not sure of who we are. We think we can be pretty good, and if see that's the case, we're going to be in the market for a rental by May or early June rather than waiting until July. I'm looking at you, MadBum.
