    Well, things aren't Fien anymore...

    My man Murphy!! I would have expected nothing less from Morris....

    Still catching up: Nice game by Berrios Good call in removing him who's listed as the emergency catcher? nice play by Mauer!

    I like the Just what I thought: someone out there had an in-depth analysis. To.
  7. HitInAPinch
    man, you're to fast a poster!
  8. HitInAPinch
    Well, there's probably an opening lol
  9. HitInAPinch
    Late to the Game Thread. What the heck did Murphy say????

    I definitely see the Twins winning over 70. I think those days are over. For awhile, anyhow. I believe the Twins are about to turn things around. The rotating of players isn't a big deal IMHO. If nothing else, there seems to be players ready to step up. That's a good thing.
  11. HitInAPinch
    well, all of the above or Buxton simply has no talent as a hitter.......

    Too keep with the desire of a "less is more" concept for viewing of pro sports, I'll keep this brief: I've hated instant replay in ANY sport from the very beginning.

    To be honest, I don't know if FanGraphs is still in the developmental stage. But I agree, something else is probably needed.

    Plouffe was doing a great job behind Mauer until he got hurt. Sano is starting to come around. So are Arcia and others. All Mauer needs to do is what he's doing right now...

    In reading your post, my 1st thought was: Post sober! Just kidding ....... No, Mauer will not be a catcher again. His choice. Murphy needs FAR more time behind the plate before passing too much judgement. If Suzuki is the past and Murphy the future, I don't see a question about it. A trade for Lucroy? You'd be expecting a HUGE discount from the Brewers in either trade scenario.

    I'm looking at Fan Graphs SD / MD ratings for the Twins. FanGraphs' prem is this: "While the Save rule is odd and complicated, Shutdowns and Meltdowns strip away these complications and answer a simple question: did a relief pitcher help or hinder his team’s chances of winning a game?" The Twins: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=0&type=3&season=2016&month=0&season1=2016&ind=0&team=8&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=15,d The formula: http://cdn.fangraphs.com/library/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/SD-MD-Flashcard-9-14-15-e1442282525119.png The scale: Rating SD MD Excellent 40 2 Great 35 4 Above Average 25 6 Average 20 8 Below Average 15 10 Poor 10 12 Awful 5 15

    In no way was I making any kind of an argument, one way or the other. It was a list of observances.
  18. HitInAPinch
    Well, I'm not that much of a believer in BABIP. The walks and XBH's: And? A hit is a it. A lack of walks is expected if a guy is making contact a lot. IF his current .373 average was based on a high level of XBH's I'd say THAT was unsustainable. Things happen. There is this thing called a "Career Year" and this could be Nunez's turn. Not exactly out of the question, considering the AB's he's gotten so far this year. Until proven otherwise, Molitor can't really afford to take Nunez out of the lineup. All that being said, I'm not so foolish to think his current BA [.373] is the new norm based on the fact it's .101 points higher than his current lifetime BA of .272. I'm liking the ride right now and have high hopes for the Twins future. Losses be damned

    I don't remember what game it was, something like 4-5 games ago, Dozier had 3 hits to right field. I was kinda hoping Bruno had a long talk with him.
  20. HitInAPinch
    Arcia is actually looking better this year. Getting into shape has a lot to do with that. I don't know if someone had a 'come to Jesus' meeting with him or not. If there was, it probably fell to Brunansky. Rosario is 2nd inline for the CTJ meeting. Who's been talking to Nunez this year? Bruno. Dozier had 3 hits to the opposite field 4-5 games ago. Murphy needs the reps, badly. Buxton needs a lot of reps at AAA. After his ending to today's game, Sano could use a little base-running pep talk

    "As nasty as a fart in a stiff wind"
  22. HitInAPinch
    If nothing else, this game finally got Alex Meyer some work. Can't imagine what he would have looked like in next week's start with out it.
  23. HitInAPinch
    I think many of us left shortly after Hugh's 1st inning. What a crappy start. Tomorrow [today] is another day. Hope springs eternal. Yeah, that's all I got.
  24. HitInAPinch
    nice AB for Mauer. fouls off a bunch of pitches, then almost takes Fulmer's head off
  25. HitInAPinch
    home plate ump has a variable strike zone tonight :-)
