    Good throw would have had him

    Lyles was begging the twins to take the lead and they were quite reluctant
  3. Aggies7
    MAT swings at ball 4 lol

    How can mlb seriously talk about expansion when there are teams like the royals in the league? Right now, the A’s are on pace for the third worst winning percentage EVER. The royals are 5th and the white Sox are 14th. Going all the way back to the 1800’s

    Poor grienke. Appears to be toast

    Someone mentioned earlier that the twins rarely go on long winning streaks (like 6+ games). The days off are a big reason why. Rocco won’t ever say it but his lineups and pitching usage basically indicate his tendency towards throw away games. Heck, we won 3 in a row…giving a couple guys the day off will bode well down the road. More than a winning streak in April. I think that’s the logic lol

    I think we can all agree that Maeda should no longer be a starter.

    Why would I be concerned about bullpen usage in 2023 when we have less innings pitching from the bullpen this year than we did all of last April, with 4 more games in 2023? You’re digging yourself a hole. Comparing last year to this year is wild and you keep doing it. The games played number is not the same, the pitchers are mostly not the same. There’s no comparison. Our bullpen is less taxed because our starters are being allowed to go longer. So when you have a blow up game like today, you can go the bullpen and try to keep the game within reach. Or you can sit there and get behind by 10 runs until you act. I like the former, personally.

    Season didn’t start until April 8 last year. The games are not remotely equal so any comparison would be foolhardy
  10. Aggies7
    Ah, shifting the argument I see. you realize that the twins played a total of 21 games all of last April, right? We’ve already played 25, with 4 more to go.
  11. Aggies7
    This is just not true lol

    Gray didn’t pitch into the 6th inning until May 18 3/4 Ober starts in April were 5 or less innings. One was 6 2/4 bundy starts in April were 5 innings, the other two were 6 All 4 of archer’s April starts were 5 or less innings. 2/3 paddack April starts were 5 or less innings. The other was 6. Joe Ryan had one start in April of 4 innings, 2 were 6 and one was 7. not exactly 6-7 innings a start every night

    Your first paragraph is just flat out untrue. There were people very early on saying that bullpen was going to be gassed if they were asked to get 12 outs a night. I know because I was one of them. I think if today’s game happened on the same date last year, with a similarly rested bullpen, nobody would have complained about a one off early hook. It was clear he didn’t have it. In his first 3 innings, 8 of the balls put in play had an EV of over 95. Even that third inning when he apparently cruised, he had a couple.
  14. Aggies7
    We’re just bantering that’s all lol. I thought that was the purpose of a message board.
  15. Aggies7
    The gigantic difference you’re ignoring is that the bullpen was quite literally ravaged on an almost nightly basis last year. 12 outs a game practically the entire year. And it wasn’t just bundy and archer getting early hooks. And it wasn’t just when they were doing poorly. You know that. The bullpen was as rested as possible and he allowed our weakest starter, whose “hard hit %” is wayyy up, to get rocked and put the game out of reach. If you want to say he shouldn’t have been pulled after 2, ok fine. But yeah he was left in until the game was put out of reasonable reach.
  16. Aggies7
    Apples and hand grenades. But go on.
  17. Aggies7
    Aren’t you the big analytics guy? Choosing to ignore the decrease in velocity from a guy who was just injured recently and coming off a bigger injury is interesting
  18. Aggies7
    How great would it be to overcome a ten run deficit
  19. Aggies7
    Yeah def. Maeda has been great, this was just an unexpected blip
  20. Aggies7
    He was lucky to get out of the first inning unscathed after those 3 bullets he gave up. Then then second inning. With his numbers down and a rested bullpen, I’m surprised he wasn’t removed before even the third inning. Rocco played with fire and got burned
  21. Aggies7
    Gladden gets too much hate on the radio (IMO) but he absolutely butchers Higashioka’s name. Every time
  22. Aggies7
    Maeda should have been yanked after the second inning. Weird how rocco picks and chooses when to listen to “the numbers”
  23. Aggies7
    Of course we couldn’t just lose normally, we had to get blown out. Wet blanket a bit
  24. Aggies7
    Especially with a rested bullpen. But he does seem to enjoy leaving guys in when they’re horrible so idk
  25. Aggies7
    80poo down the middle ain’t gonna fly. Not sure what Rocco’s thought process is here
