    Let me see if I correctly understand "modern" analytical thinking. Pitch count and number of times through the order are the major factors in deciding whether or not to pull a starter? And times through the order outranks pitch count? Ober had a pitch count of 73 after six innings, so that isn't a major concern. That leaves the number of times facing a batter as the primary reason for replacing him. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! Ober had already faced the top of the Royals' order AND the heart of the Royals' order three times. Are the bottom three hitters that formidable that Ober can't face them? Udder nonsense (as any dairy farmer will tell you - pun intended).

    What in the world is "overextended" about averaging three inninds per game? And being injured isn't overusing. It's bad luck.

    Here are Canterino's stats for his minor league career. 2019 7 games. 25 IP. AVG 3.6 IP/G 2021 6 games. 23 IP. AVG 3.8 IP/G 2022 13 games. 37 IP. AVG 2.8 IP/G Looks like the Twins handled Canterino very similarily to Raya & Prielipp.

    I'm afraid that a closed door meeting might be too much effort for this team to expend. Personally, I would prefer to see Martin, Rodriguez, Keaschell, Kiersey, and Eeles playing for the Twins. At least there would be some enthusiasm and hustle displayed. It would be fun to watch players stealing bases, running out ground balls, and encouraging one another instead of leaning over the dugout railing discussing tax shelters.

    Commercials were the highlight of the game.

    Bold Prediction: The Pohlad's sell the Twins before the All-Star game. The bigger surprise: The Pohlad's sell the team to me for 100% of my savings account and take the loss as a tax write-off to counteract the massive income gains they receive from the new administration economic policies. The last surprise: I don't have a savings account. Suckers!!!!

    Not me for sure!!! Of course, I live in Maine.

    Six right handed hitters in the starting lineup against a tough right handed pitcher? What happened to matchups? Maybe defense is being considered as a strategy?

    I agree. Horseshit is not good. Even as a garden fertilizer, it has to composted or else it will burn your plants.

    As someone who sits on a couch a lot, it is very easy to get injured trying to run, even if it's just to the refrigerator.

    That's was my belief too until I tore my meniscus running out a ground ball.

    What sort of potions are some players out of. Are they legal or are they on the list of banned performance enhancing drugs?

    I'm getting the feeling that in college you were probably a mediocre 1B on defense and therefore can easily proclaim that 1B being a defensive position is utterly ridiculous. I wonder what MLB players would say about that.

    I got excited when I read the headline. But the "latest Twins ownership update" is that nothing is new except for a worsening of the US economic situation which (in my humble opinion) makes a possible sale of the Twins the least of my concerns.

    If Julien and Miranda are both defensive liabilities at 1st base, why are they on the team?
  16. terrydactyls
    How can Wallner have a "consistently premium contact rate" and still have a 35% strikeout rate and be prone to extended slumps? Seems contradictory to me.
  17. terrydactyls
    What is this thing called "defense" that people are mentioning?
  18. terrydactyls
    I meant any word on his health.
  19. terrydactyls
    Any word on Connor Prielipp?

    To me, the most interesting line in the article is: "Check out my thoughts from earlier in the week..". There is nothing in this article that hasn't already been covered (ad nauseum). 1. Who is going to play second? 2. Who will win the last starting pitcher slot? 3. Who wins the last two relief pitcher spots? Wash, Rinse, Repeat

    I pretty much agree with you EXCEPT...... I would have to take a long look at a trade of Paddock for a prospect if that prospect was an MLB-ready catcher. Someone similar to Kyle Teal, Samuel Basallo, or Dalton Rushing. Then I would probably make a move.

    I think the top priority for the Twins is to find a new candidate to buy the team. The new owners can decide the direction the Twins will head.

    ABSO-DAMN-LUTELY!!

    If Jeffers and Vasquez stay healthy (even if they have poor offensive years), Cartaya and Camargo will never be given an opportunity to impress the front office.
