    If the team wants to keep him stretched out as a starter, he needs to go to St. Paul to work on things and get his confidence back. Otherwise send him to the BP. Either way, SWP should be next man up.
  2. mnfireman
    Well, his stats are right in line with the guy they traded (Polanco)....
  3. mnfireman
    Ober since his first start implosion: 3 GS, 17 IP, 2 ER, 16/3 K/BB, 1.06 ERA, Opp. BA .140. Not sustainable, but success he can build off.

    Missed strike 3 call gives Tigers 2 runs, frustrating to say the least.
  5. mnfireman
    Which is why I double-check the ball/strike calls on Baseball Savant.
  6. mnfireman
    Nope, it was a terrible throw, short of HP and up the 3B line. And by rule, Vazquez HAS to give the runner a lane.
  7. mnfireman
    Larnach!!

    Anyone still think Julien is an "average" MLB 2B??
  9. mnfireman
    True and I wish him continued success, but we have seen Berrios dominate like this over 4 or 5 starts in the past, only to string together 4 or 5 absolutely horrible starts. He will probably end up around his career averages of 14-10 W/L, 4.08 ERA.

    How about 6-0....

    Time for Varland to take an extended vacation in St. Paul.
  12. mnfireman
    That was all him, however...
  13. mnfireman
    He's mostly played CF, just needs to remember who's standing to his left.
  14. mnfireman
    Not totally his fault, if Julien makes that easy play Varland gives up nothing...
  15. mnfireman
    Same as what Santana is going to give the team tonight...
  16. mnfireman
    Martin and Margot, who'd a thunk....
  17. mnfireman
    Tommy John started 31 games, threw 207 innings with an ERA of 3.09 the year after his surgery (which is now named after him), that should be the bar for success...
  18. mnfireman
    The runner failed to advance on a "deep enough" fly ball...
  19. mnfireman
    Not a fan of his, but for $3 MM..... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/04/white-sox-to-re-sign-mike-clevinger.html

    Might be why SWR is pitching on the same schedule as Paddack.
  21. mnfireman
    Duran is a heckuva a talent, but each of the last 2 springs he has looked bigger than he did at the end of the previous season, at least to me. Maybe a team mandated strength and conditioning program is in order....

    So, everybody comes on here complaining that the pitching pipeline of the pitching guru's (Falvey & Levine) isn't delivering, but, now that it is supposed to be relied on (and is delivering), everybody comes on here, complaining that the pitching guru's (Falvey & Levine) didn't bring in a veteran from outside the pitching pipeline to help the team. WOW!! Can't have it both ways. Trust the process. The team didn't cheap out, the young talent on the team and on the way isn't going to be cheap...

    "What are your expectations for the back end of the rotation? How many innings will Paddack and DeSclafani pitch for the Twins in 2024?" I don't think DeSclafini throws a pitch in 2024, unfortunately. As for Paddack, Tommy John threw 209 innings in his first season back from the surgery named after him...😉

    System failure. Not all batters are the same, but the team seems to be coaching them that way....launch angle = HRs. Some guys are more adept at hard hit line drives, with some of those becoming HRs, instead of the highlight reel, tape measure shots. Maybe coach to the players strengths, or trade them for guys that fit the system.

    So, in 1972 Steve Carlton put up a 12.5 WAR season, the second best post-1927 WAR season, for the 59-97 Phillies and Gaylord Perry put up 11 WAR for the 72-84 Guardians. By this logic, the A's (WS Champions) Joe Rudi (6.1 WAR), Catfish Hunter (5.9 WAR) and two players at 5.6 WAR, were each worth close to or more than either of those 2. It wasn't their fault they put up GREAT seasons for also-ran teams. That is why I don't place much value on those type of metrics, especially when the metrics have to be quantified.
