    SI has a front page story breaking down the Yankee/Astros ALCS series so .... not everyone is as pumped for Twins/Yankees as you.
  2. gunnarthor
    I'm sure the Giants knew about it and didn't write it down anywhere.

    The last few in the pen probably don't matter. If we need Graterol to pitch, we're already in trouble. I think Gibby in the pen makes sense. The lineup looks right to me.
  4. gunnarthor
    Of course he shouldn't.
  5. gunnarthor
    This was a really fun day.
  6. gunnarthor
    I hope we resign him. We'll need some starters to stick around.

    I'm sure anyone in their right mind would rather have the resources that the Red Sox have over the Twins. But I also think the Red Sox will aim a bit higher than Falvey or Levine.

    Bummer, hadn't even realized we signed him.

    Watching the video of the Kiriloff HR and the video shows Astudillo rounding the bases and I'm thinking, "woah, Kiriloff has really let himself go."

    Every sport has unwritten rules and in every sport they boil down to 'respect your opponent and 'respect the game.'

    Man, I would hate having someone that intense teaching kids. The opposing coach did the right thing.
  12. gunnarthor
    I love the unwritten rules. More fights. More brawls. Make the game more fun. Here's the baseball codes write up on the matter by Jason Turbow. Great book for baseball fans. https://thebaseballcodes.com/2019/08/16/twin-hacks-3-0-gets-teammate-plunked-reminds-us-that-people-still-pay-attention-to-this-kind-of-thing/

    Gaver has played first base 40 times in the minors and 9 times in the majors. The Twins don't seem inclined to use him there. And, before his injury, Cron was having a heck of a season - .271/.329/.503 - in more PA than Garver has had this season. He's a good player.
  14. gunnarthor
    It's been 19 games and less than 80 at-bats due to thumb injuries. I'd give him more reps and assume he'll get back into the groove that he had in the first half. Fans are too quick to give up guys during struggles - Sano, Buxton, Polanco, Kepler etc. Cron's our best first base option right now on a team that should be playing in October.

    Kiriloff and Larnich are hitting fairly well at AA - Kiriloff isn't waking enough (6.5%) while Larnich is striking out too much (30%) but both look like they'll be pretty solid ML bats. And Lewis is walking more than Kiriloff and striking out less than Larnich. All three are pretty solid in AA right now. Great to see that.

    Very good. Nice links as well
  17. gunnarthor
    Yep, I mean, I'm not planning on selling any of our holdings and we'll ride this out since we won't need the money for 20 years. But, ouch. We hold in several big areas - big banks and oil/gas - which are getting crushed lately. Hoarding cash for now and hopefully we can buy into the market later at a nice sale price.
  18. gunnarthor
    Fangraphs guys are still pretty high on him.
  19. gunnarthor
    Perez, Thorpe, Smeltzer. It doesn't really matter. They are all bad choices for a playoff team. One might get hot for a bit but ... The FO should really be held accountable for not getting a starter at the deadline.
  20. gunnarthor
    ugh. This series is not going as I expected/hoped. Going to the lake tomorrow so won't have to watch the next two. Jeepers.
  21. gunnarthor
    No, I mean have you compared Gibby to other pitchers besides ours? I get that he hasn't pitched well but at the same time, fangraphs has only 13 pitchers in the AL ahead of him in WAR. He'd lead the Yankees in WAR, for instance. Domingo German has a 5.40 era against playoff hopefuls, I believe. Tanaka is 5.28 or so. The point being, I'm not convinced SSS of random teams is all that helpful.
  22. gunnarthor
    Is that good? Did you compare other starters to those same teams to show where Gibby stands?
  23. gunnarthor
    I really hate these type of comparisons. If you're going to discount his best 26 innings, shouldn't you also discount his worst innings?
  24. gunnarthor
    This team really needs Buxton back. He just makes the team better by a lot. Pitching is going to kill us in the playoffs but we'll make the playoffs.
  25. gunnarthor
    Surprising to see the big WAR differences for Gibson on b-r and fangraphs. Honestly not sure which I favor.
