  1. I don't doubt Falvey and Levine's credentials, they seem sharp and they've seen what it takes and been involved at successful organizations. My issue is this: if every team uses analytics, what is the advantage of being a team that uses analytics? How does it move you beyond league-average? There has to be something else that puts you over the top. Either a massive surge in talent or a massive improvement in "intangibles".
  2. The fact that for a period of time Buxton and Sano were the #1 and #3 prospects in all of baseball, and that now #1 just can't hit Big League pitching and #3 just can't figure out how to be a pro is about the most maddening and unbelievable turn of events in what has been a long and mostly frustrating career as a Twins fan.
  3. The Twins are next-to-last in baseball with a team ERA of 5.26. The pitching has been a disaster, much as it has been since 2010, which was the last season where the Twins had an ERA better than the league average. Until we see real improvement throughout the starting rotation and bullpen, we will continue to suck.
  4. A four-game trip to Yankee Stadium after a sweep in Tampa. Not what the doctor ordered. Seriously, the snow outs earlier this month kind of derailed some of the early season promise.
  5. In 2004, John Kruk was adamant that Curt Schilling should win the AL Cy Young because he won 21 games to Santana's 20. "It's all about winning." I was quite pleased to see him let down.
  6. I don't understand why it's so hard to get these guys out. They're not all superstars or something.
  7. Sure, but can't we at least be able to attack Santana? He was a real letdown tonight.
  8. gift-wrapped 3-0 lead and completely up in flames...
  9. Castro botched the low strike. His mitt dropped into the dirt with it. That was a K with a good frame.
  10. Why can't the White Sox just roll over and die like the irrelevant and forgotten team that they are.
  11. I hope to someday see a complete list of the pitchers that have come through the organization since since our last division title, purely for the comedy of briefly recalling the catastrophes, flameouts, and crushed hopes and dreams.
  12. It's not like Jake will have a bunch of really tough decisions to make about his brother. You think Joe will get pissed if he has to sit vs. a lefty every so often? Still, I think Doug M is my favorite candidate.
  13. Wow, Dozier. Team leader? That was epic loafing. Looked like Manny Ramirez.
  14. Rosario is at peak value right now. Granite will have a solid outfield spot soon, and it's not going to come at the expense of either Buxton or Kepler. They are going to have to package Rosario and probably somebody else in exchange for pitching.
  15. Do we have anybody in the bullpen who can reliably strike guys out?
  16. Why do I feel like Twins are still underdogs to win this game?
  17. But our whole outfield can't hit, it seems.
  18. It's just really nice having Bux in center field. Like super nice.
