Jeffers is just that dude

Earned run or error?

Margot, just like we all believed!

Of the 104 qualified pitchers since 2021 there are: 27 Aces (26%) 17 #2s (17.3%) 12 #3s (11.5%) 15 #4s (14.4%) 18 #5s (17.3%) 17 replacement level (16.3%) If we lower the IP threshold to 200 there are 157 eligible starters and it breaks down to 20.4% Aces, 12.7% #2s, 9.6% #3s, 12.1% #4s, 23.6% #5s, 23.6% replacement

Emma's been a little slow to return from his right hand contusion, which seems reasonable. Soto is still 18 until August, with how hard he throws I'd imagine it was always going to be a lengthier development and adjustment to the length of the pro season.

Jose Berrios has a 4.00 ERA since 2021. Jose Urquidy has a 3.96. Those are #4 starters too?

Seriously with the pinch hitting???
CCHOF5yearstoolate commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM
Even if you only have access to fielding percentage, once again a horrible defensive metric, .982 isn't anywhere close to "sieve" territory. -
The Twins have spent a majority of their recent high draft picks on hitters, and it's hard to argue with those results given the young talent on the team and that which has been traded away to bolster the pitching. Folks who are concerned with a pipeline strictly being "homegrown" might point to teams like Seattle or Cleveland having 3 or 4 starters that were drafted by the team. But what is the state of those team's homegrown bats? I count 2 young homegrown hitters from the pool of both teams - Julio Rodriguez and Steven Kwan. It's just a tradeoff. The Twins have put most of their draft capital into hitting, and they've done very well developing those players. They've also developed a type - late round pitchers who lack velocity and they think they can get more out of them. We'll see how it goes going forward, but there is a lot to like in the system from later round pitchers, which maximizes the talent you can acquire in the draft if you go for hitting first and pitching late.

Joe Ryan was a question mark if he'd even stick in a major league rotation when they traded for him. 14th in the Rays organization and below multiple pitchers who have not sniffed the majors. Yes, he was in AAA, but the Twins should definitely get credit for developing him into a #2/3 and helping him to find what were previously elusive secondaries to complement the funky fastball.
-
2 outta 3 ain't bad
-
Yeah, I think it's a nice mix up if used sparingly. Once he starts throwing it 20% of the time I think they look for it because it's his easiest pitch to hit.
-
Saw Martin's attempt last night, Haniger figured he'd try tonight! dang, almost the first to make this joke...
-
I don't hate it conceptually, but it's clearly been teed off on lately and I really don't get why he's throwing so many same-handed changeups.
-
Jax has to scrap that changeup
-
Anyway, Thielbar faced 2 to end the 6th so he could have been removed after Rojas.
-
Yes, but if you haven't faced 3 and get brought back in to start a new inning you have to face 3 total. from MLB
-
No idea why they've had Jax start throwing changeups.
-
gotta face 3, so if you only face 1 to end an inning and you get brought back out you have to face 2 more
-
MLB certainly grades the umps, purportedly they use those grades to determine postseason crews but I'm skeptical. And the 'college kids on twitter' (lol) use the same data MLB does - from statcast.
-
Julien can't buy a hit even when he makes good contact
-
That sliding backhand play is about the only real weakness left in his game. He should have let Carlos field the other ball.
-
Right, Miranda paused on his 3-0 walk because he thought the ump was going to call a very similar strike, but thankfully he didn't this time.
-
cycle watch?
-
Miranda just assumed he was going to do it again, too!
-
This is quite the stretch.
