    To clarify, it will come down to one of the "Committees," which is made up mostly of former players. I'm wondering if that's to his advantage or disadvantage.
  2. IndianaTwin
    He and I have a lot in common in having four areas to improve before being able to contribute. For me it's 1) fastball; 2) curve ball; 3) changeup; and 4) slider. Oh, and my defense could use some help.
  3. IndianaTwin
    I can agree, but it also was the most likely way to slam the door and assure that only one guy was needed for the middle of the order. To pick on Topa, since he threw the fewest pitches yesterday, if he starts the ninth and gives up a run or two and you still have to go to the closer, that really hurts.
  4. IndianaTwin
    Have the ones from February, January… August already had an opportunity?
  5. IndianaTwin
    But the crows are being eaten by those longing to trade Paddack.
  6. IndianaTwin
    Who else do you need?
  7. IndianaTwin
    Further adding to the kiss of death, he's even on pace to becoming the franchise's first member of the 30/30 club.
  8. IndianaTwin
    Makes sense on France.
  9. IndianaTwin
    Thanks. I forgot about Correa's reduction. There's also Castro's $6.4M and France's $1M, right? So that's essentially $43M coming off.
  10. IndianaTwin
    Did you include Dobnak's $3M? I think the number is actually over $37M. Right now the Arb increases are Ober, Ryan, Duran, Jax, Stewart, Sands, Jeffers, Lewis and Larnach. Others who are Arb-eligible are Tonkin, Alcala, Lovelady, Clemens, Bride and Miranda.
  11. IndianaTwin
    After a rocky start, Lopez getting through six was huge, particularly with needing an extra inning from the bullpen.
  12. IndianaTwin
    Start each word with a capital letter and I think that would work well as his new nickname.
  13. IndianaTwin
    Or at least tie it.
  14. IndianaTwin
    You expected English?
  15. IndianaTwin
    Darrell Evans did spend a fair amount of his career playing for the Giants.

    Realistically, the Orioles wouldn't be interested in Paddack. They are likely out of it, so why would they want only a partial year of a back-of-the-rotation pitcher? Paddack is only of interest to a team that says, "We're a smidge short on the pitching side and could use one more arm to nudge us over the top." Injuries happen. I think there's too great of a likelihood that if the Twins trade Paddack now, come July they'll be saying, "We're a smidge short on the pitching side and could use one more arm to nudge us over the top."

    Plus, if you take out Paddack's clunker like you did Ober's, his ERA is down to 3.41.

    Also, Basallo has been hurt and hasn't caught yet this year.

    Here's the wins: April 23: Entered in the top of the seventh with bases loaded and one out, ahead 2. Sac fly scores 1. Allows triple and sac fly in the eighth to tie the score. Nats score in bottom of the eighth. April 25: Entered in top of the ninth, down 1. Goes 1-2-3 and Nats score twice in the bottom of the ninth. April 29: Entered in top of ninth, two outs, runners on second and third, down one. Gets the out. Nats score twice in bottom of the ninth. May 4: Enters in bottom of the sixth, tied. Gets all six batters in two innings, Nats score three in top of the seventh. May 6: Enters in top of the seventh, ahead 1, one out and runners on first and second. Single, single, groundout, single with runner thrown out at home. Nats now down 8-6, but score four in the bottom of the seventh to go up two. He does go 1-2-3 in the top of the eighth. So the 1st and 5th were when he blew the lead and then vultured a win. In the other three, he did his job and vultured. Looks like it's been feast or famine. In the "bad outings can ruin a reliever's ERA" department, he's given up 10 of his 14 earned runs in three games, including Wednesday, when he got the dreaded "Pitched to three batters in sixth" line in the box score. In his other 14 appearances, he's thrown 15.1 innings, with 9 hits, 3 walks (0.786 WHIP) and 4 earned runs. (2.35 ERA).

    It's basically a way of identifying who had some of the big plays. It also doesn't include defense (I think). In Lee's case, two of his three stikeouts came with no one on and the other was in the first inning, so they didn't create much of a negative to counteract his double lifting the Twins from a 58.9 percent chance of winning to 93.9 percent. France got his by having two RBIs that moved the needle somewhat and Jax by being the lockdown guy in the 8th with the game tied. The reason he got more than Duran was that he pitched when it was tied. He got more than Topa because Topa pitched the seventh. I wouldn't say it means "nothing," but I consider it just an enjoyable little tidbit that quickly identifies who came through (or didn't) in some clutch situations.
  21. IndianaTwin
    Yes.
  22. IndianaTwin
    So Brooks LEE gets the game-winning hit on the day we are introduced to Pope LEO. Coincidence? I think not. I think I'm going to like this guy.
  23. IndianaTwin
    St. Louis has the day off.
  24. IndianaTwin
    I’ll go ahead and answer my own question. Bader appears to be available both offensively and defensively.
  25. IndianaTwin
    Molitor wasn’t great when he filled in, but Perkins was a wonderful change of pace.
