    Is there a category of good strikeout looking with the bases loaded and two outs?
  2. USAFChief
    Dangitall.
  3. USAFChief
    Nope. Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.
  4. USAFChief
    Let's go Matt!!
  5. USAFChief
    Because I'm never wrong.

    Box score now shows Gray with 2 RBI.
  7. USAFChief
    Lewis! On a breaking ball no less.
  8. USAFChief
    I blame me.
  9. USAFChief
    Abel looking pretty pitcher-ish.
  10. USAFChief
    Baserunning still a mystery to this team.
  11. USAFChief
    Gonna wager they change that. For some reason Larnach had stopped at 3rd.
  12. USAFChief
    Gonna guess 3 RBI.
  13. USAFChief
    There's your 4, Bailey. Make it work
  14. USAFChief
    Baserunning still a work in progress but at least it cleared tbe bases. I blame Rocco.
  15. USAFChief
    Lewis ...
  16. USAFChief
    Chief Jr paid me with a silver one.
  17. USAFChief
    Cant go 0-162 without a 0-1 start.
  18. USAFChief
    No.

    Chief Master Sergeant is as high as it goes. Except, you have to salute a wet-behind-the-ears second lieutenant.

    Would one run have proved usefull?
  21. USAFChief
    The bullpen is an issue, with almost zero chance of being an asset? I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you!

    Run expectancy charts are basically useless. It's like planning a trip based on the combined average miles per gallon of every vehicle in the US, including trucks and EV's. Doesn't tell you **** about when your car will run out of gas.

    It was pretty clear by the middle innings this was going to be a low scoring game. One run becomes pretty important at that point. I generally don't like sacrificing, but there are times and places for it. Given the situation, the pitcher, and our lineup, I'd have sac bunted the 3rd time. For sure.

    One of the primary issues with a run expectancy chart is it takes nothing into account. Or everything, depending on how you look at it. Thousands of 1st and 2nd, no out situations combined into one number doesn't tell you much. It ignores every iota of context. Who's running, pitching, hitting, playing defense. The score, the inning, the weather. A ground ball machine on the mound with Ryan Jeffers at the plate? The run expectancy is not 1.55. Nor is it 1.55 with the middle of the Yankee lineup due up against, say, Justin Topa. The end result is, a run expectancy chart sounds informative but Isn't a useful tool to inform strategy.

    Image courtesy of © Mitch Stringer-Imagn Images Yet another season of Twins baseball is underway; the season may have started with a whimper, but there are 161 more to play. There are always lively conversations in the forums, and every week we'll highlight three of the best. We don't know what to expect from the new head of Twins baseball operations, Jeremy Zoll. While he worked and was promoted under former president of baseball operations Derek Falvey, he also spent years in other organizations, including the Dodgers under Andrew Friedman. What flavor will he bring to the Twins? OG Nick Nelson gets it started with his excellent season preview. Agree? Disagree? What say you? Not feeling the optimism this spring? Perhaps you missed a few things? What else do you look forward to? Speak up! There's been considerable change atop Twins leadership this winter. What effect might that have in the case of GM Jeremy Zoll? Twins fans weigh in... View full article
