    Can you point me to that science? As for getting outs, I'm not sure what you think is happening, but teams have always gotten 27 outs. The object is to prevent runs. And current pitching ain't preventing runs at any kind of rate better than history. Here's MLB ERA going back: 2023: 4.10 2013: 3.86 2003: 4.39 1993: 4.18 1983: 3.86 1973: 3.74 1964: 3.46 If anything, ERA is gradually going up, not down. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors/pitch.shtml

    Quick question: how are you related to Morris? Dad? Brother?

    Focusing on Nolan Ryan as some sort of workload unicorn is my pet peeve. Starting pitchers routinely threw 200 plus innings/year for decades. 250+ if they stayed healthy. And lots of them DID stay healthy. At least as many as do now, and I'd argue more than now. And it's not like they were less effective. Hell, MLB had to lower the mound in 1969 to get more offense into the game. Baseball needs to start moving back to having pitchers pitch. The current model isn't doing a single solitary thing leading to better health. All they're doing is intentionally getting less and less from their pitchers.

    It was a JOKE, Van. Relax.

    Have the Twins pitched out in Rocco's tenure?

    And why were both Buxton and Lewis out AGAIN??

    He has as long as needed to warm up, right? If Winder can't be used in a relief role, even when he has unlimited warm up time, why is he in the pen? How long did he warm up for his eventual appearance? I mean, it's a bad situation, I agree. But inserting a short reliever just seems an odd choice.

    I don't think the Twins management cares much about stolen bases, on either side of the ball, so I'd imagine they won't.

    Correa won't be back this weekend.

    I've got tickets for both halves of Friday's doubleheader. Feels like a sweep is needed.

    She had plenty of dead time to fill.

    Just a little reminder of who we have in Thielbar.

    Rocco. ..

    We don't even bother with the token throw anymore.
  19. USAFChief
    Well, ****. The bad news just keeps coming.
  20. USAFChief
    Lost in all lineup. is another crap day from the lineup. Maybe play the best hitters?
  21. USAFChief
    For everyone, always? Or just some, sometimes? Like, a 6 on a 1-10 scale? See what I did there?
  22. USAFChief
    Varland. Dobnak's not in the minors.
  23. USAFChief
    Anyone else notice, when the Cubs centerfielder throws, he takes a little Crow-Armstrong hop?
  24. USAFChief
    Winner
