    Yes he has, and many streaks where its maybe 2 swinging strikes in that many pitches. If you want to make a correlation to an injury in CO, and blame the Twins for not noticing the injury in CO, you should use the date that points back to the day he said he was hurt, rather than cherry pick a 4 game sample size that doesn't fit the narrative.
  2. alarp33
    Dyson's Swinging strike %; Season - 9% Since start of CO series (unclear if he was hurt 1st appearance, or 2nd appearance) - 12% After CO series until trade - 9% Again, please show me how the stats the author used are relevant in the least

    He said he noticed it during the Colorado series, which was not included in that cherry picked 4 game sample

    This is such an absurd leap on a small sample size I almost have to respect it. I can't tell if you actually believe that is evidence or not or if its a troll. He pitched 4 innings, gave up 2 hits (one was an infield hit) and his velocity was in line with what it was all season. Nice cherry pick of the dates too, seeing as he said he got hurt around All Star break, but you failed to go that far back since he got 9 swinging strikes in the 3 innings between then and your arbitrary date
  5. alarp33
    He also has the Yankees, Red Sox and Phillies on his no trade list. I don't think it's safe to assume he only put the Twins on there because he didn't think they are a contender
  6. alarp33
    Reverse splits in a small sample sizes are not particularly meaningful. Voit and Torres for example have better numbers vs Righties than lefties this year, but both in their careers follow expected splits (hit lefties better). LeMahieu, Judge, Hicks, etc. all hit lefties better. A right handed pitcher like Romo who in his career has been death to righties is the correct move vs that lineup
  7. alarp33
    Yes. He is still a good pitcher. You’re disappointed because he’s not a Giles type, but he’s better than what they currently have in the pen

    It was certainly a smart play by the runner, that is what they are taught. Personally I think the umpire very much bailed him out when he didn't need to though. The runner turned way too far towards the outfield, and reached his arm out to make contact with Schoop. You have 3 feet to establish your new baseline, and I think he went further out than that

    The Phillies gave the Marlins a major league catcher in that trade as well. It's reasonable to assume along with Lewis or Kiriloff, that Garver would've needed to be included in that trade.
  10. alarp33
    Considering Castro has also had a better offensive season than Realmuto, no it really doesn't. When the Twins give Garver a break to keep him fresh they are getting more offense than Realmuto is providing the Phillies
  11. alarp33
    It probably makes him unattractive to the Twins as well, unless the Royals are eating at least $5+ million of that contract. Just because the Twins have money to spend next year, I'm not sure it would be wise to tie up that much of the payroll in still a pretty unproven reliever. Even if the Royals pick up a decent chunk of that 2020 salary, I can't imagine the cost in prospects would be that significant.
  12. alarp33
    Garver has an OPS+ 80 points higher than Realmuto, and an OPS .300 points higher. The Twins would be worse off, I feel pretty confident saying that.
  13. alarp33
    So now the team is in a better spot had they traded for a Catcher who isn't playing as well as the one they currently have and not signed Cruz? Sorry I brought up the Realmuto name, I thought by now people would be ok admitting its a good thing the Twins avoided that
  14. alarp33
    Can't tell if this is a troll? Teams only play 1 catcher each game.
  15. alarp33
    Did you see the section I quoted? It said 1 playoff game since 2010. Things bottomed out, because of poor drafting and development. I don't know if you specifically wrote Lewis or not, I do remember you went into this same attitude of prospects are meaningless, trade them all for Realmuto. Well that turned out pretty well, since the Twins already had a cheap option who's better than Realmuto on their roster..
  16. alarp33
    This is pretty much solely due to the fact that the Twins had a bottom farm system for years, which oddly you seem to be arguing for doing again. I know you were big on trading Lewis + for Realmuto, good thing the GM has a level of patience and is looking at broader picture
  17. alarp33
    A few posts up you said the Twins should've traded for "Sergio Romo, Caleb Smith, Mychal Givens, Andrew Cashner, Seth Luog, Lirano" and now you are saying the Twins don't need someone closer to May they need more Rogers?
  18. alarp33
    It requires 2 teams to make a trade. There are many teams still deciding whether to sell or not, and teams like the Blue Jays (Giles) are going to ask for a fortune today, but prices will likely calm down nearer July 31
  19. alarp33
    No. Is the best relief pitcher in baseball who you want to trade for? You haven't thrown out a single name or proposed trade. You are simply saying trade them all for whatever you can
  20. alarp33
    Should any prospect be 100% off limits? No But GM's don't have jobs if they take your attitude of "I'll trade anyone possible, I don't care if its for a rental or not". Your arguments aren't rooted in reality. There's a value to these pieces and trades should be made with that in mind.
  21. alarp33
    They did, which is what makes your argument all the more confusing. You seem to be advocating for trading all top prospects, when the list you provided shows teams that made smaller, but high impact deals
  22. alarp33
    I'm aware. None of them were the level of prospect Kiriloff or Lewis are
  23. alarp33
    Outside of the Chapman trade, none of those trades cost "Lewis, Kiriloff" level prospects
  24. alarp33
    I'm not really making an argument either way on Buxton, more so pointing out the flaw of saying Cruz signing for less than $7 million per WAR means something for Buxton. Because of Buxton's unique skill set, but also extensive injury history, it will probably be hard to agree on a real long term deal. Maybe the Twins can offer something to buy out just 1 year of FA that makes sense for both parties
  25. alarp33
    Contracts are not signed to pay a player for their previous season contributions, they are signed to pay a player their expected value going forward. Nelson Cruz is 39 years old, his market is not the same as a 26 year olds when signing a FA deal
