    Not sure I like this trade

    Missed almost all of this game but nice to see a really good homestand!

    My take is that this pitching staff is pitching out of their minds. If the staff finishes the season with a 117 ERA+, we're a lock for the playoffs. I think Bundy and Ryan are real pitchers and Bundy's success isn't a surprise to me - I called it! But Paddack is the only pitcher who is pitching like I expected. So, eventually, we're going to see some starters knocked out pretty early, the pen start to get taxed, AAA arms get rotated into the pen. And how they make those adjustments will probably define the pitching this year.

    Fun game.
  5. gunnarthor
    Yeah, and all of those things (and how hard he hits the ball) are reasons why his babip is traditionally much higher than average.

    Just looking at a few of the players but Termarr Johnson is really interesting. Usually you don't see 17 year old, 5'10" second baseman at the top of draft boards. But his hit tool sounds amazing.

    Dumb question, but what are our picks this year? Do we have any supplemental picks?

    He doesn't have a 40% k-rate. He has a 30% k-rate. He's not even in the top 20 in k-rate. And one good play hasn't evened out the bad luck but, by the end of the season, it should.

    This post is about right. It's been bad luck. His at-bats have generally been fine. If his babip was normal, his line would look a lot more like Kepler's line. Sano has a good approach, doesn't chase much, and barrels up the ball really well. It's been 50 at bats.

    He's one of the 15 best players in baseball. It'd be great for him and Buxton (and a few others) to be the next core. I can't imagine it happening but it'd be great.
  11. gunnarthor
    I think if Hamilton is there, that would be the pick.
  12. gunnarthor
    He completely changes this team. I think we're 1-4 w/o him in the lineup and 7-4 with him. If he stays healthy, he's the best player in baseball, I think.
  13. gunnarthor
    whew
  14. gunnarthor
    I assume they don't want Buxton playing tonight because of the wet conditions. I'm ok with that.
  15. gunnarthor
    Hello everyone. Sorry I'm late. Seems like Ryan is doing ok?
  16. gunnarthor
    That's usually a bit better than your normal PTBNL.
  17. gunnarthor
    I've complained about that before as well. That was one thing Gardy always advocated for - even when he rested Mauer, he would put Redman in the same spot. (As did Leyland when Redmon was playing for Rodriguez). He said that players need consistency, even when they are struggling. It's interesting to see how much batting orders change. If you look at 2006 - 6 players got 90+ starts in the same batting order spot. Last year, the Twins had one. And almost every spot was pretty fluid. No consistent middle of the order.

    I think this team is slightly better constructed then last year's team, so it should be slightly better. And everyone is at or under 50 PA, so we have a huge sample size issue. But if you construct a high slg, low obp team, you'll get dry spells. I thought adding Kiriloff and Correa full time would improve that. I didn't have high hopes for Kepler, he's underperformed his stats for years now. And, obviously, Buxton's injury isn't good (1-4 without him in the lineup). There's no obvious fix, the players will have to play their way out of these slumps. I expect most will. It's also worth remembering that the AL is pretty blah this year. As bad as the Twins are, we're only 3GB of the best record in the AL. So we haven't been knocked out of the playoffs yet.

    The offense will get better - if healthy. And I wish they'd push Martin to AAA at this point. Team is getting a bit thin. I don't like the staff but it is what it is. Best case scenario is the offense blows up and carries the team for a long stretch. Not sure if we will get back to .500 this season but I'm still hoping. It's really early and if they can win a few series, things will look better.

    I enjoyed Murderville. I have to say, I'm slowly watching Mythic Quest with my son and the episode that showed CW's origin - that he took credit for Isaac Asimov's work - was the best show I've seen in a long, long time. I didn't expect an episode that serious and emotional from them. On a stupid note, there is a show called "Beforiegners" on HBO Max. The premise is beyond stupid but they play it straight. It's also in Norwegian. But it might be worth a look.
  21. gunnarthor
    Agreed, 1000x.
  22. gunnarthor
    This is a pretty ugly team right now. I was afraid of the pitching staff and our refusal/inability to get starters who can throw 200 innings is going to really expose this pen. Arraez at first, Gordon hitting fifth ... I thought our offense had some depth but early injuries are really testing it. I don't think we're this bad (102 loss pace right now, SSS) but we might have less room for error than I thought.
  23. gunnarthor
    Man, the anti-Sano **** on TD is getting a bit toxic. Let's dial it back a bit, ok?
  24. gunnarthor
    He's fine. I liked Torii and Morneau better, but he's fine. Bremer is starting to become a problem for me.
  25. gunnarthor
    Nice play by both Sano and Bundy there.
