    Fun with numbers: per BWAR, Royce Lewis is the 10th most valuable Twins player in 2024. He has 2 plate appearances.
  2. USAFChief
    That's an ERA of 1, amiright?
  3. USAFChief
    *A few hundred

    I guess in Jeffers' case there's some merit to giving a catcher a full day off now and again. Catching is tough duty. And it was and remains pretty clear Santana wasn't signed to be a part time 1st baseman. He was being counted on as the every day guy from the time ink went to paper on the contract. I'd assume he gets another month, month and half of full time duty before any changes to that.

    Martin hasn't impressed much in the outfield, has he? That's a terrible play to cost a run. He was never catching that, got too close to the wall, cost the team a run.

    Santana is routinely getting beat by fastballs. That's the end for any ball player. It's not "can't hit the curve." It's "can't catch up to average fastballs." Sometimes it happens at the little league level, sometimes high school. Or college. Or the minors. And sometimes it happens because age is undefeated. I don't think this is just a slow start. Santana looks completely cooked to me.

    Oh, so close. "Pun contest was Ober yesterday" was the answer we were looking for.
  8. USAFChief
    Yeah, I'd say that's the general consensus. But personally I don't think SWR is any kind of answer, and Paddack isn't any better than Varland. The FO left this team woefully short of starting pitching this season.
  9. USAFChief
    They seem to be having a contest over who can have the worst AB.
  10. USAFChief
    uffda. Yet another failure to drive in runs.
  11. USAFChief
    I don't think Falvey is dictating in-game managerial decisions, but certainly he hired Rocco with an idea of how he preferred his manager to operate. However, Rocco is under no obligation to make the same thoughless decisions day after day.
  12. USAFChief
    No worse than counting on Paddack.
  13. USAFChief
    Twins finished April last year 17-12 with a plus 26 run differential.
  14. USAFChief
    I'm gonna say something controversial (hahahahahaha) here: Rocco is a pretty godawful manager. Spreadsheet told him 2 hours before game time yesterday when to remove Ober. Today the spreadsheet didn't tell him to watch Varland pitch to the first 3 batters of the game and get him out before he tanks the entire game.
  15. USAFChief
    I don't think that's actually true. And it won't be true if the Twins take 7 of 7 from the Sox. MLB isn't graded on a curve.
  16. USAFChief
    How to say I have no idea where the pitch is going without saying I have no idea where the pitch is going: Walk Javier Baez.
  17. USAFChief
    um...wut?
  18. USAFChief
    winnah.
  19. USAFChief
    Camargo fits right in.
  20. USAFChief
    *Plate Appearance. .... hahahahahahahaha I kill me
  21. USAFChief
    Rocco Baldelli iis the manager. It's 100 percent his decision. 100 percent his choice. 100 percent his fault. It's not Baldelli's fault Santana and Margot were the big offseason additions. It's 100 percent his decision to remove his better hitters, take his starter out needlessly, refuse to move runners, and any other in game decision.
  22. USAFChief
    Maybe don't walk the leadoff hitter and then wild pitch him to second, Funderburk.
  23. USAFChief
    Those decisions are made before the game ever starts. Rigid, thoughtless adherence to someone's spreadsheet. It's so ridiculously anti-intellectual it's laughable.
  24. USAFChief
    That'd be a start, anyway.
  25. USAFChief
    I have never trusted Funderburk and never will. Awful command.
