    You said he has improved, his last 4 weeks have been worse than his 1st 4 weeks. I don't understand this argument in the least, are you trolling me? Is your argument simply that he had a nice final week of April or something? I don't see how providing the actual most recent data is in any way confusing. There's nothing arbitrary about that, its a fact his performance has gotten worse, not better. His OPS on April 27th was .664, today it is .624. It is going down, not up
  2. alarp33
    His OPS in May is .586. His numbers are worse in the 2nd month of the season than they are the 1st month. In what world has he turned it around. He had a .642 OPS in April

    You are literally including the only real solid game of the season Grossman has had, and your numbers are still wrong. Grossman April 26-May 29: .276/.366/.390 (.756 ops) Grossman April 27 - May 29: .247/.348/,315 (..663 ops) In the month of May his OPS is .586. I don't know in what world that's an acceptable OPS for an every day player who can't play defense

    2 years ago at the end of May his slash line was; .202/.294/.329. Who were you arguing with?

    Sanchez released to make room on 40-man

    Castro plays 2nd
  7. alarp33
    The batter shouldn't get the benefit of the doubt. Until there are robot umps a pitch like that is never ever going to be called.
  8. alarp33
    Literally the rest of the game? I mean if he pitches a good clean inning he can give the Twins another inning or two? Honestly what are you watching
  9. alarp33
    The zone has been fine The pitch to Gregorious is NEVER going to be called. Santana missed his location by a foot
  10. alarp33
    He threw 23 pitches in the 2nd inning and gave up a run!! In what possible world is that "1 bad pitch"
  11. alarp33
    Hes thrown 65 pitches in 2 innings and you counted 1 bad one? Going to a 3 ball count on every batter is ok if they don't hit a home run?
  12. alarp33
    *And to make sure Berrios doesn't have the pressure of pitching in a tie game?
  13. alarp33
    I counted about 35 bad pitches
  14. alarp33
    Give me a break Molitor, Santana has NOTHING. How in the world do you leave him out there
  15. alarp33
    Derek Falvey was hired 2 days after the World Series concluded. What do you mean acting gm?
  16. alarp33
    I mean his SB / CS numbers are literally THE reason to shutter the strategy. Like it is a huge negative to attempt to steal with those types of numbers. That's not really debatable. He was a horrible base stealer in the minors as well, fwiw
  17. alarp33
    The amount of people on this site who overreacted last year to how a 22 year old began his career shocked me at the time, and continues to shock me today. I think its the Mike Trout / Bryce Harper affect. They are the rare exceptions, not the rules
  18. alarp33
    If that was the case my bad, I thought it was someone trying to blame the trade on Rogers giving up a run last night
  19. alarp33
    Rogers has pitched 6 and 2/3 innings since Kintzler was traded, and given up 2 ER. 2.70 ERA, well below his season ERA Let's stop with the blatantly false hyperbole. It's very easy to look these numbers up
  20. alarp33
    Huh??? The Twins have only lost 8 games in August. 3-0 Berrios 4-1 Mejia 4-1 Gibson 12-11 *blown save 8-1 Colon 9-3 Gibson 7-6 Melville 4-3 *blown in 8th - Kintzler would not have pitched in 8th, likely would not have pitched 9th either as Molitor would've held him for Save Opp Losing pitcher listed next to each game. You'll notice the Starting Pitcher lost 6 of the 8.
  21. alarp33
    He's 9th in WAR out of 11 AL 2nd baseman this year. Your 2014-2017 sample size uses all counting stats, in which he's one of only 4 players to play 500 games (he's at 569). You don't extend someone because of past performance, you extend based on the future, and he'll be entering his age 32 season when his contract is up
  22. alarp33
    This is a very odd way to evaluate a trade, but I'll just state the obvious. Matt Capps was not a free agent 2 months after the Twins acquired him. They traded for 2 months + 1 year
  23. alarp33
    So the baseline for making any trade should be "will the guy we acquire be the next Mejia?" I can't tell if that is serious or not, but if you are genuinely curious if these guys can be the next Mejia, yes Littell should reach the majors at a younger age than Mejia did, and has at least a significantly better MILB track record than Mejia
  24. alarp33
    Who said "play for 2019"? I'm confused how losing Brandon Kintzler in a trade today effects the status of competing in 2018, considering he is a UFA this off season anyways
  25. alarp33
    They saved around $1 million by trading Kintzler. They spent $4 million on Garcia alone to improve the prospects they received in return. What in the world are you talking about
