    4 runs on 4 hits, 4 walks, 16 Ks, and they'll likely win this game. I just have to shake my head at the way this team is winning some of these games. I'll take 'em for sure, but yeah....
  2. KirbyDome89
    We need it tonight, this game might not end otherwise...

    Boston was probably thinking the same thing last inning. This is offensive ineptitude at its finest. I was going to say the first team to 2 wins earlier, and I guess that's still kinda true with the famed Manfred man coming into play shortly.
  4. KirbyDome89
    Take a breath.

    Twins: 13 Ks Boston: 2-12 with RISP This is a tough one to enjoy even for the most hardcore fans...
  6. KirbyDome89
    Literally the only way Kepler was going to reach base.
  7. KirbyDome89
    Ok.
  8. KirbyDome89
    Eh, I don't think it's too different than people whining about the "cheating Yankees," while celebrating Correa around here.
  9. KirbyDome89
    The numbers for Buxton and Taylor are pretty extreme (SSS yada yada) but Gordon at 7% balances that out a bit. Gallo, Larnach, Vazquez, Kepler, and Solano are in a "normal," range. Correa likely moves down a tick. Miranda could see a bit of a jump; ditto for Jeffers. I'm not counting Wallner, Julien, or Castro because they're not (or shouldn't in Castro's case) getting regular ABs. I guess we'll see how Farmer's ABs are distributed, but it's kind of discouraging when you look at these guys individually and realize the K numbers aren't all that inflated by the SSS.
  10. KirbyDome89
    I think an importance difference is that I'm not resigning this offense to the cellar. Yes, we're probably all much happier that (most of) the depth in question actually belongs on a major league roster this year.
  11. KirbyDome89
    Overall, yes, and I've said as much elsewhere, but if you're going to make definitive statements about "nailing," roster construction this group probably shouldn't be near last offensively. Just my 2 cents. Ok, but if it must be done, I'd point out that 4 of the 7 players you listed are guys being lauded.
  12. KirbyDome89
    The Twins have a bottom 5 offense. Is right now really the best time to be touting positional flexibility?
  13. KirbyDome89
    Monday: Sox commit 3 official errors, boot a rundown which ends up with Tim Anderson on the IL for 2 weeks, and they still manage to win the game. Tuesday: Sox literally throw the game away in extra innings when they can't field a bunt. Wednesday: Sheets falls down on a routine fly ball resulting in a Jeffers "triple." Jeffers scores two batters later when Vaughn bobbles a ground ball and can't make a throw home. Willi Castro and his .000 slugging% "break the game open," with a double to put the Twins up 2-0. I guess that's baseball for ya, but yeesh, not much about the way this team is winning feels remotely sustainable. There was endless complaining about bad luck last year, this must be the overcorrection.
  14. KirbyDome89
    I'm also pretty sure there was an article last May that seriously pondered whether Jeffers was one of the best catchers in the league. Apparently he's very polarizing....
  15. KirbyDome89
    You can't make this stuff up. Unbelievable.
  16. KirbyDome89
    How is that scored a hit for Benintendi?
  17. KirbyDome89
    The Sox....lol.... The Twins best offense is hitting the ball to whoever is standing at 3B for Chicago.
  18. KirbyDome89
    Pressly also had 3x more career innings at that point, so even if the Twins were waiting on fulfilled potential there was a solid floor, but we're talking about where this stands today no? Right now it's nowhere near a win-win. Like I said above, the odds that Alcala becomes Pressly, or anything close, are slim. If we sit down in 3 years and tally up WAR ok, but that's not the same kind of value.
  19. KirbyDome89
    Yeah I'm not sure how applicable WAR is in this case. Idk if we need to think too hard on this one. Houston got 2.5 years of an elite, high leverage arm. Acala is 28 and we're still talking about "potential."
  20. KirbyDome89
    It couldn't be further from a win-win at the moment.
  21. KirbyDome89
    Can Alcala reach Pressly's value over the last 5 years before he hits FA? That's a near impossibility. Can he, at any point, hit the peak that Pressly has? That's unlikely. It was a questionable move at the time, and it has aged poorly.
  22. KirbyDome89
    If you're going to say that Ryan has addressed his woes against better teams, maybe don't stake that case on a game in which he posted an ERA eerily similar to the aforementioned "struggle," portion of last season. I'll take 6 innings over 4 though. Parsing single events is a sword that cuts both ways. It's also not a road worth traveling.
  23. KirbyDome89
    No Corra, Gallo, or Kepler. Buxton was scheduled off. Who was going to hit 4th in this lineup and change the outcome today? Should Farmer have gone 0-4 in front of Gordon instead of behind him? Spots 4-9 mustered 1 hit and 2 BBs in 9 innings. They were 0-5 with RISP and only one of those ABs were Gordon's. Yeah, the dude is struggling, but you're talking about shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic here.
  24. KirbyDome89
    The Sox tried their best to give it away.
  25. KirbyDome89
    Yeah, he's healthy enough to DH regularly, run the bases, and come off the bench to pinch hit, but he can't play even one inning in CF right now and we're giving up the DH in a one run game?
