    I've been sending Falvey 2 emails a day telling him to ignore you. "Dude's using snail mail, ferpetesakes. I mean, come on."

    Get back to work, before your boss reads this.

    I think a reasonable hope for Correa is something like last year. OPS in the low to mid .800s. Certainly valuable, especially at SS, but not something that should be your best hitter. Hopefully we get something similar from Lewis. That'd help. We don't have any really good hitters. Consistent .950 OPS guys.

    Concur. I'd say they are missing 2 middle of the order bats, not 1, but that's a nitpic. We better hope the starting pitching holds up.

    Actually, across MLB in 2023 here's the numbers with bases loaded: .259/.307/.430 https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/split.cgi?t=b&lg=MLB&year=2023

    I'd say Pagan is a bad example of them liking a guy despite our pitchforks.

    Games with 3 runs or less: Here's some comparisons, 2023 to date: TX 13 LAD 15 ClE 28 MN 21 CWS 26 I'm too lazy to go team by team at BBRef and I can't find the data already assembled. But at least on first glance, good offenses don't get shut down as often. Which makes intuitive sense to me.

    Not exactly an answer, but here's part of it...I found some of what I was looking for the other day: what's the magic number in MLB? It's 5. Score 5, and you win more than lose. Score 4, and you lose more than win. Obviously, scoring less than 4 gives you an even worse record. This data is 2023, but it holds up https://stathead.com/baseball/inning_summary.cgi?request=1

    Short version: need luck, because there's nothing very intriguing in the system.
  10. USAFChief
    I don't accept either of those statements as facts. I believe a MLB manager can find room for all three on most days.
  11. USAFChief
    The actual antidote to GIDPs is to hit the ball in the air. Two strikeouts still leave you scoreless.
  12. USAFChief
    It's hard to take you seriously when you make claims like this. One can be in favor of the Lopez trade while still understanding how much the Twins offense could use Arraez.
  13. USAFChief
    I guess I don't understand sending Lopez out for the 7th if you're going to pull him after 1 hitter. Either he was spent, in which case you start the inning with a reliever, or Lopez gets the opportunity to pitch to at least 3 hitters, which would be what you ostensibly sent him out to do. In any case, pretty dismal road trip, with seemingly every Twins weakness costing them.

    Also the subject of the greatest bar trivia question ever: What team scored more runs in the first inning of World Series game 1 than their opponent scored in the entire World Series?
  15. USAFChief
    Actually, now you're late ;)
  16. USAFChief
    I'm more or less "there is no try, there is only do or not do" kind of guy. Besides which, Falvey himself said last winter the pen wasn't a "priority." So I'm pretty comfortable with "ignore." Doesn't really matter the specifics, in any case. I think it was a mistake not to add, whatever the thought process or reasons.

    4:20?
  18. USAFChief
    Pfft. Whippersnappers.
  19. USAFChief
    Close. "Don't" " I don't believe ... what I just saw."
