    My advice, take it or leave it - take some time off from watching this team. Your recent articles are bottom feeder compared to what you’re capable of. Edit: Just know I’m saying this out of respect. You know this. I’ve been reading your work for years and have met you in person. This is rubbish. Truly.
  2. Vanimal46
    Okay. This article was published today. Nick Nelson had the immense power of hindsight like I did and still wrote this rubbish.

    If you’re looking for a debate on WPA I’m not your guy. I’m pointing out that these big numbers happen in close games. You and SwainZag are free to look at previous game recaps to see these numbers during close losses and yell into the clouds.

    In 2022, we traded a reliever to Baltimore who turned into an all star the next season + 2 other prospects for a reliever we traded away in a “lateral move” 1 year later. We traded a good bat who’s contributing this season (2.1 bWAR/1.4 fWAR) to an NL wild card team and CES who’s knocking at the door for a pitcher who threw 42 innings in his 1.5 years of control. This is a scorching hawt taek.

    That big number happens a lot in close losses. Welcome aboard.
  6. Vanimal46
    Congrats Nick! You are the hawt taek artist.

    Today is the first time you’ve had a problem with the WPA calculation in its history? If so, breathe, and come back tomorrow.

    Lewis could not get the ball out of his glove and on the way to first base quicker than he did.
  9. Vanimal46
    Yes. That is called leverage in baseball. Duran pitched in very high leverage situations today.

    I’m just settling into the reality that the Twins are going to back into a division title because the other 4 teams gave up. It’s going to take a gem pitching performance from one of our starters to win a single playoff game this year.

    Checks out on FanGraphs

    Or a Kris Lindahl arms stretching out across the entirety of the jersey.

    I want a Joe Mauer/Kemps collaboration like the good old days.
  14. Vanimal46
    I like Hockenson a lot but not enough to pay market resetting money to. He still has to play this year out regardless. And, hate to say it but we can place the franchise tag on him which will be cheaper.
  15. Vanimal46
    Sigh… a weak, high chopper wins it.

    MAT come on dude.

    I’d much prefer acquiring just Lance on the cheap, but here is a crazy thought this close to the season… Kirk for Lance and their 1st either 2024 or 25. Trading Kirk always made sense after June 1st… This close to the season I doubt a blockbuster like that happens. But it would help achieve the goal of getting a top QB with 2 1st round picks.
  18. Vanimal46
    I see a lot of positives with the acquisition - if it happens. Now several insiders are talking about the Vikings and Lance. He is simply more gifted than Jaren Hall in every way. It’s an interesting test for KOC and staff to develop their own QB.
  19. Vanimal46
    The team acquiring Lance would only have to pick up $940k this year and $5.3 million next year. It’s an intriguing gamble to trade a day 3 pick for him. While true, he may be too raw to play in the NFL, I’m not ready to give up on a 23 year old.
  20. Vanimal46
    Rapoport is bringing back the old rumor of Lance to the Vikings. There’s been too much smoke for it not to happen.
  21. Vanimal46
    Also, Tony LaRussa is back as a consultant for the White Sox! No need to worry about them for the next 5 years.
  22. Vanimal46
    I was slightly concerned they would hire someone externally who would turn around the franchise. Instead, they’re promoting their Player Development person, who has been in the role for 7 years. And Dayton Moore looks like a guy who needs to call IT to open an excel file on his computer.
  23. Vanimal46
    Each pitcher has about 6 starts left for the regular season. I’d probably skip him in the rotation at least once in September to save him for a playoff start. Realistically if he’s around 160-170 innings that will be fantastic. If we go on a miracle WS run, then he can push it to the absolute limit of 180-185 innings.
  24. Vanimal46
    Sounds about right
  25. Vanimal46
    Out on the walk now with my dog so here comes the big inning(s).
