    True enough, and agree with that. But also the statistical piece is that 3- 9th inning outs with a 1-run lead is more valuable than 3-6th inning outs with a 1-run lead. Over 162 games, the noise balances out a bit. But in a 5 or 7 game playoff series, there is less, or no, room for error. I couldnt find much statistical comparatives, but this came close, an analysis of 2020 season blown saves using WPA...doesnt address specifically 9th inning one-run blown saves, but still interesting. Exec summary quote: In a short season, a bullpen that can close out games — irrespective of score or runs allowed — is key, and that is demonstrated there. http://www.coverthosebases.com/blog/the-impact-of-the-bullpen-in-60-games

    Twins union rep

    Game7-91 commented on ashbury's blog entry in Left Coast Bias

    Do not know who was prior union rep. I cant see this FO or Pohlad's making decisions like that. Speaking of new CBA, has anyone seen complete copy? Summaries I've seen offer some intriguing tidbits tucked into the nether regions of the doc, but cannot find a complete copy anywhere. Anybody else?

    Yes , but Buehler has a record, getting busted taking a non-permissive day off at Wrigley. Never should have caught that foul. Somebody like that a couple of low A suspects should get it done.

    Not sure how Ober's development is served moving to BP if that is what will happen. He earned a shot to further establish himself in mid-rotation. I would not be slotting Paddack ahead of Ober. Paddack now joins Bundy and Archer in line, and hopefully none of those three prove detrimental to developing the Winders/Balz's et al.

    Interesting, hoping they can squeeze some juice from the fruit. Or convert Padduck, Paddock, Paddeck, Paddlick, Paddoch,...whats his name.....to BP.....whatever, it matters little, this pitching staff is built for entertainment and not in a good way. A Correa/Rogers package in July would have been interesting. Cie la vie.

    Agree with others this is great article. Jeffers is a hope- for guy, and I believe he will settle in. I look for his defense to continue to improve, if he can reach 250 and 20hr's that would be a succesful season. Someone mentioned Baneulos in AAA, absolutely agree we will see him this season. I have hopes Jeffers-Banuelos stabilize the position for next 3-4 yrs.

    Agree with this. Add Sanchez too as another poster noted. Defensive questions are bigger than offense for Larnach- the dropoff last year after the foot injury was so dramatic. Kiriloff and Larnach...1b and OF...K and L boys. I see them as two related pieces. I believe in these two for their offense, Kiriloff can be a very good 1b, Larnach is the defensive ?. So yeah , agreed that FO needs to figure out what to do with Sano, would rather we move on from him and create room for these guys. Easier said than done though.

    If I had to guess, I'd say that Celestino will start the year in AAA - and if Buxton goes on the IL (yes, I specifically chose the word 'if' instead of 'when'; hope springs eternal), Celestino will be called up. Celestino could be the call up for anyone in the OF, really. To give Buxton a day off here and there, I think Gordon will be the fill in. Again, just my guess based on everything that's been said in these forums and articles. While Celestino didn't have a stellar time up in the majors last year, he was really up prematurely, imo, having no time in AAA. Toward the last half of the season in AAA, he seemed to really be picking up steam. Agreed. The CF backup is a question mark, but I would like to see Gordon have a chance when needed. Looking forward to Celestino's progress, if he can increase onbase he could help thus summer as 4th OF and backup to Buck. If not give Gordon a chance.

    Steven Wright joke: I wrote a song, but I can't read music so I don't know what it is. I was in my car listening to the radio when a song came on, I said "Hey, wait a minute, I think I wrote that."

    So true. It's gonna hurt to nab Montas, or Castillo....not sleeping on Reds still making a move if return is good. It'll start with Lewis or Martin plus 2 more for either of those two. But if Twins are swinging for the fences gotta swing hard.

    Very creative. I would love to see these types if deals standardized, high AAV's, generous opt-outs, would create roster churn every year but great fun for fans, and allows for Twins et. al. to sign a Big Boy once in awhile. Sure, Boras wants his full cut next year, so what. This was a perfect storm and Twins did not fail to take advantage. Good on ownership to accept the (limited) risk but big $$, and FO to make it work. It's a Twins type of deal that actually makes sense. Just stunned Boras and Correa worked it out with Twins.......what's next, world peace? Always hope?

    Pineda to Tigers....... Oh well.......

    The apparent shift in what Story is willing or wanting to do is interesting. If true, it would seem that such consideration is given for somebody like SF org, not for the Twins, but who knows. Maybe we have a line on trading Polanco....which the way things are going, would not surprise me. Who knows? I am not willing to say the Twins are out of the running for Story,yet, or out of a trade for one of the A's SP's, but we do have to face reality. When it comes having to compete for better quality FA's, or trades, the Twins are not going to win most, any(?)of those.

    Can't argue with that. I would add that if I was Mr Story, I would be concerned about anticipating Game 7 of the World Series at Target Field in November. Trying to track those groundballs in 10" of snow is a real trick, but maybe the elite glove guys just look it as a bucket-list challenge, like a climber ascending Kilimanjaro solo.
