    Easy player to like, Paulie. Good player, too.

    If he's been in the system a long time, and done well, there must be evidence of that on the Twins pitching staff, right? Pitchers he helped mold that went on to help the Twins succeed? Who are those guys? I must admit I'm perplexed by the resistance to change things in an effort to get better results.

    I'm a bit confused. Doesn't DIPS theory hold pitchers cannot influence the quality of contact on balls in play? If so, how can Pittsburgh's pitching staff be getting consistently "weaker than average" contact?
  12. USAFChief
    I don't think you'll see much complaining about not drafting pitchers they didnt have a shot at. I think the issue is repeatedly targeting lower ceiling, but higher floor "strike throwers" with limited velocity in draft after draft. Targeting "pitch to contact" types when they did venture into the FA market. "Aces" don't only come from the top 3 picks in a draft. The Twins themselves have said they've been trying to add velocity to the system over the past couple drafts...a sort of backhanded admission they've neglected to do so in the past.

    ...for the rest of us. BA dum tshhh

    Sorry to see his season end think way...but happy for the improvements he solidified this year. Hope to see even better next year.

    At some point, he will no longer be the Twins manager, whether that point is next week or next decade. The disruption will occur, so IMO it's not a big factor.

    I wonder if we ever battled at one of those foosball tables...not to brag but I was once one of the better players in the state. Used to drive down to the cities once a month or so and play the tables there. Late 70's?
  17. USAFChief
    Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood your earlier post to mean shuffle the coaching staff again but leave Gardy. My bad.
  18. USAFChief
    Bring it home, game threaders, end the home season with a win. I have a date with my granddaughter at the zoo. I'm out.
  19. USAFChief
    the stagnating traffic and activity on sites like ours, Not to derail an excellent thread but...you guys are planning on hardballing the mods over salary in contract negotiations this winter, aintcha?
  20. USAFChief
    I blame Halsey.
  21. USAFChief
    Nuno has thrown 79 pitches through 3 innings. #notpitchingtocontact
  22. USAFChief
    It works better this way, particularly if you imagine Bert saying it.
  23. USAFChief
    To point out the obvious...it took you three sentences to make your point.
  24. USAFChief
    Man...the losses look like they've been hard on Kirk Gibson.
  25. USAFChief
    What if they gave a game thread and nobody came?
