    On the other hand, she used analytics to correctly deduce Rocco Baldelli had been hired, before it was announced. Might not be a bad hire.

    Winner.
  3. USAFChief
    Now you have.

    Concur. I'll give him every chance. But by mid-April if he hasn't got the ALC wrapped up, let the dogs loose.
  5. USAFChief
    Not relevant. You wander around the streets every night.

    With little to base it on, I like the hire. Young, seems forward thinking and smart, and not just another formula-following internal hire. Now get to the business of giving the man a roster that gives him a fighting chance to do his job.

    It’s a bit of a circular argument to claim interest in the team waned AFTER the trades as evidence FOR the trades, no?
  8. USAFChief
    None of the players acquired by the Twins had played a game above low A ball. It’s more like trading in your leased car for three lotto tickets.

    Not if he runs really well. ... Or, come to think of it, throws really slow.

    "Situ-endencies."

    Good thing we've had management with the long term thinking to get us 6 postseason games won since 1991.
  13. USAFChief
    Perhaps some of us aren't convinced selling off players at the deadline, particularly in a season that wasn't over yet, doesn't speak well for the "long-term viability of the team." For most free agents, the money is going to end up in a certain ballpark. There will be similar offers. I think it's pretty naive to think players don't look at how a team operates when deciding who to sign with. And I think it's naive to think players in general don't look at the Twins and wonder if their heart is really in it. Or if "long term viability" is more important than winning.

    They got Justin Nothrrguy, and Evan Les, both RH relievers. Nothrrguy could be in Chattanooga by 2021, and Twins scouts are hopeful Les can zoom through the minors “as quickly as a Nick Burdi.”
  15. USAFChief
    quit stealing my material!
  16. USAFChief
    Hader is a reliever. 3 IP is already pushing it. You cant send him out there for a fourth inning. Counsel managed just fine. They fell behind and couldn't muster offense.
  17. USAFChief
    I believe today's game is the second time in this series the Dodgers have had over 100 HRs on the bench to start the game. Astounding.
  18. USAFChief
    Endorsed by Chief.
  19. USAFChief
    But the play rhymes with Gritty, so it works.
  20. USAFChief
    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Hoping for an epic LA choke job.

    RandBall's Stu weighs in with a few additional candidates: https://www.twinkietown.com/2018/10/19/17997164/what-we-know-about-these-dark-horse-twins-managerial-candidates

    Re-imagine it as two offenses putting up zeros for the final two innings, and the surprise will be gone quicker than a Buxton AB.
  23. USAFChief
    Data is available. "THE" data is open to interpretation. Some of us are pretty skeptical of publicly available defensive stats.
  24. USAFChief
    I read somewhere* this strategy** was first used in the 1924 World Series, where a manager used a RH starter for the first two hitters of the game, then brought in a LHer to face the LH hitting #3 hitter. That guy pitched into the 6th. * No, I did NOT read this in real time in the following day's newspaper. ** Proving once again, little is really new in baseball these days.

    It's ok, they were only cheating to prevent others from cheating. https://sports.yahoo.com/far-many-questions-remain-mlb-giving-astros-free-pass-dugout-surveillance-052243047.html
