    At what point does last year become the outlier for Gibson? He had a career low BABIP and career high LOB%. Theres 28 AL pitchers with enough innings pitched to qualify, he's 20th in ERA this season
  2. alarp33
    I could be mistaken, but does it matter Sano has not physically reached the catcher or the plate yet? His pathway was blocked even though he is yet to be there.

    Kyle Gibson and Jose Berrios in August; 7 Starts, Twins record 2-5 38.2 Innings 36 runs 30 earned runs Big time performances down the stretch from the 2 guys who are supposed to be your best starters.

    I assume this is a bit? Can't be real
  5. alarp33
    LOL. Literally last year this wasn't true
  6. alarp33
    It still doesnt make sense. It was the 2-4 spots in the Milwaukee lineup coming up, you use Romo, Dyson, Duffey. Is there a person here who didn't see that hanging curve ball to Grandal coming? Somehow the Manager didn't.
  7. alarp33
    Excellent use of the bullpen? Did we watch the same game? He used his 5th or 6th best bullpen option in the 7th inning vs the heart of the Milwaukee order, who promptly gave up 4 runs and the lead.
  8. alarp33
    Thats not what I'm telling you
  9. alarp33
    No, Gibson has not been good vs good teams. Did you really think 39 runs in 53 innings may have been good? Berrios vs playoff hopefuls; 10 starts, 62.2 innings, 24 earned runs. 3.45 ERA Odorrizzi vs playoff hopefuls; 13 starts, 65.1 innings, 32 earned runs, 4.41 ERA Pineda vs playoff hopefuls; 9 starts, 47.2 innings, 22 earned runs, 4.15 ERA
  10. alarp33
    Those were not his 26 best innings And the theme many have picked up on with Gibson this year is when the team needs a big start from him he craps the bed. See both starts vs Cleveland since All Star break
  11. alarp33
    Vs Playoff teams (or playoff hopefuls); NYM, NYY, TBR, BOS, OAK, CLE; 10 starts, 53 innings, 39 runs, 31 earned runs. 5.07 ERA with a whopping 8 unearned runs. 4 of the 10 games didn't get out of the 5th inning.
  12. alarp33
    1.73 ERA in 26 innings vs CWS and Baltimore, if the Twins face one of those teams in the playoffs Gibson will be ready to go. 4.88 ERA vs everyone else.
  13. alarp33
    Was there truly ever any doubt that this is the Gibson we'd see tonight? Talk about a guy who folds under any sort of pressure. Pathetic
  14. alarp33
    Again, he threw 42 pitches over 4 appearances where his velo was fine, and his performance was dominant. There was nothing to see there, but the insinuation in the article I had an issue with was that this was some glaring issue. "He's broken, he was starting to break before he got here" "One of the clearest indicators something is wrong" "stop missing bats in such a stark fashion". This wasn't a large handful of 20+ pitch outings where he struggled to put guys away or get guys out. Nothing of the sorts. He threw extremely efficient innings 4 straight outings.
  15. alarp33
    Probably a good point and I was too harsh. I don't like the insinuation the front office didn't do their jobs, when using cherry picked examples. If someone in the front office deserves being called out I'm all for it, but the evidence here is flimsy at very best
  16. alarp33
    Baseball reference Game logs. Mid May he had 3 straight appearances with 0 swinging strikes, and on each side of those 3 games had a game with 12 pitches and 1 swinging strike. 55 pitches in Mid June with 2 swinging strikes. Again, this really wasn't that huge of anomaly. He wasn't struggling through appearances. He threw 42 effective pitches across 4 outings
  17. alarp33
    The suggestion in the article is that the Twins failed to do their job by not noticing this issue. You are suggesting (like the author) that they should have noticed even though no stats seem to back up that claim? Again, throwing 10.5 pitches per inning, plenty of strikes, with normal velo it not evidence of an issue getting worse the Twins could have realistically known about
  18. alarp33
    You blamed Falvey and Levine for not knowing he was hurt by using those 4 appearances, 42 pitches, where his velocity was fine, he got through 4 innings with giving up 2 hits (1 infield) and no runs. You said he stopped missing bats in "such stark fashion" a "clear indicator something was wrong". He didnt struggle getting batters out, didn't struggle missing bats (he averaged under 11 pitches per inning appearance) yet used that as evidence the Twins didn't do their jobs... while also ignoring his previous appearance included 4 swinging strikes (apparently after said injury)
  19. alarp33
    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.
  20. alarp33
    No.
  21. 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
  22. alarp33
    He said he noticed it during the Colorado series, which was not included in that cherry picked 4 game sample
  23. alarp33
    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
  24. alarp33
    Last year Betts had a higher WAR than Trout. This year Trout is on pace to lead the AL in WAR by around 3 full points
  25. alarp33
    Sure, but he did miss 20 games and his WAR is lower, meaning he has been less valuable. Not a slight at Cruz at all, he's been phenomenal. But so has Kepler without missing time And agree with poster above me, Trout might not even need to stay healthy much longer to wrap up his 3rd MVP
