    It's not exactly controversial to prefer hits over walks. Ideally, you get a hitter who does both. But walks without hits never lasts, won't happen against good pitching, not to mention a walk is worth less than even a single. I want to know a hitter's BA, in addition to his OBP and SLG.

    Tonight the "so hot right now" Minnesota Twins host the Kansas City Royals. Pop quiz (answer below): Is Kansas City in Missouri or Kansas? Former supplemental first round pick Kris Bubic gets his 3rd start of the season for KC. The 23 year old lefty features, according to former Twins analyst Bert Blyleven, "all four pitches." The Twins will counter with former Uber driver Randy Dobnak in his second start of 2021. The 26 year old Dobnak features a mustache. KC is the team immediately above the Twins in the ALC, so this weekend presents an opportunity to move into thi... um, get closer to third place. If some kind person, or one of the mods, could please post lineups when available, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm on my phone, and that's just too much work. Quiz answer: "Yes." Duh.

    Nice bully rant, but you haven't addressed the OP's assertion. You've simply responded to "he does X" with "No, he doesnt." And then followed with the classic "Rocco played the game" argument. And for the record,, there's at least some reasonable evidence for the OP's position. Clearly the organization, and to some degree Baldelli, have decided analytics drives decisions on removing starters. Taking BP and infield before games has been de-emphasized. Catchers go to one knee, even with runners on, because someone has decided pitch framing is more important than preventing runners from advancement. That's an assessment clearly based on analytics over what might be called fundamentals. They appear to me to have abandoned "no doubles" defense late in games they lead. These are just a few examples off the top of my head. I don't know what weight Baldelli places on "fundamentals" vs "analytics," but I think it's a fair question. At the least one that deserves a better answer than a beat down. For that matter, haven't we spent the past 4 years singing the praises of the organizations new found reliance on data and analytics?
