    Ability to shut down the current iteration of the Twins "offense" is hardly a good indication of a pitcher's overall effectiveness.
  2. Cap'n Piranha
    I disagree. We clearly need to tank and tear this down. Law continuing to pitch like this will be very helpful in the pursuit of losing.
  3. Cap'n Piranha
    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
  4. Cap'n Piranha
    Oh he'll be fine. I'm sure he has the most sophisticated shift chart ever conceived.

    At this rate of injury, Rocco's gonna have to dust off the cleats and hop in the game.
  6. Cap'n Piranha
    Game Over.
  7. Cap'n Piranha
    20 pitches, no outs. That's fine, we don't have a DH on Thursday or anything.
  8. Cap'n Piranha
    This one seems like it would be familiar to each and every member of the Twins bullpen.
  9. Cap'n Piranha
    I wouldn't move Arraez, Kiriloff, or Larnach (unless the return is obscene). Other than that? Absolutely. I have no interest in half measures. Either win 90+ or lose 90+--doing anything else is completely unacceptable.

    Not waste our best relief pitcher who stinks in back-to-backs in road games where the Twins are losing. When you only have one guy you can truly count on in your bullpen, you only use him when using him guarantees you a win (assuming he gives up no runs).

    RE: bringing in Rogers not; what another dumb move by Rocco. If the Twins manage to tie this up/take a lead, who exactly does he plan on bringing in to shut the door?
  12. Cap'n Piranha
    You jinxed it!
  13. Cap'n Piranha
    Like a man, fast as he can?
  14. Cap'n Piranha
    Man, Garlick is freakin' Mike Leach against righties.
  15. Cap'n Piranha
    A run after the 6th inning!?!?!
  16. Cap'n Piranha
    I'm no fan of Rocco, and I would like to see him gone for someone with some more fire, but I would honestly be very surprised if Rocco is not the manager in 2022. The only scenario I can see someone else as the skipper is if Falvey and Levine are both gone; otherwise, I think it's much more likely they hire a bench coach with previous manager experience to be Rocco's right hand.
  17. Cap'n Piranha
    To be fair to Robles, the expected runs for runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out is 1.352, so it's not like allowing one runner to score is an awful outcome.
  18. Cap'n Piranha
    All batted balls have positive exit velo, because they are moving away from the bat. The direction in which the ball exits the point of contact with the bat is irrelevant.
  19. Cap'n Piranha
    No. As I understand it, launch angle starts at 0 degrees where a batted ball travels straight forward at the same height as the bat. A pop up directly up would therefore have a launch angle of 90 degrees, a ball that somehow travelled through the bat despite being hit would be 180 degrees, and a ball straight down from the bat would be 270 degrees.

    Jiminy Christmas. How do you not even attempt to swing there?
  21. Cap'n Piranha
    This is the Lynn I always hated. Still in the fifth, 110 pitches, and closing on 2 hours since the game started.
  22. Cap'n Piranha
    Garver needs to take one for the team, and let that pitch hit him.
  23. Cap'n Piranha
    Not for at least another 6 years of service time.
  24. Cap'n Piranha
    I like your first base idea, that's pretty cool. I want to make homeruns less valuable because I think a big part of why pitchers are so dominant is because too many guys are selling out for homeruns. Decrease the worth of homeruns, and correspondingly, singles, doubles, and triples are more valuable. With more men on base, and still less reason for homers, you'll see more running, more hits and runs, etc. When guys are looking more to put the ball in play, they will be less likely to swing from the heels, and will make more contact.

    Bremer claims the Twins got a pitcher named Luis Ruiz from the Yankees in exchange for Lynn. He then corrects himself, saying it was Luis Rojo. Which of course, is also wrong. It's Luis Rijo.
