    Maybe Baldi is trying to get fired?!?! I have such a morbid curiosity (ok unhealthy perseveration about his decision to DH Beckham....
  2. D.C Twins
    You way beat me to it. I would be fascinated to see the algorithm that spit out Beckham as the DH on Rocco's spreadsheet. (And what went through his head.!!!!... "well seems kinda crazy using simple logic, but the spreadsheet doooes say it, so apparently that 0.091 batting average and OBP could be juuuust what the doctor ordered for this offence!" There is a little saying that researchers use about statistical analysis/analytics that Rocco may need to be made aware of: Garbage in... Garbage out.

    I believe you meant LPTBD (Losing Pitcher To Be Determined) vs. Justin Verlander or... SL (Sacrificial Lamb) vs. Justin Verlander

    Teams eventually take on the personality of their leader. Baldi is an analytic apologist with little to minimal natural leadership skills. And yes, when an entire team underperforms for long periods of time.... OF COURSE it is on leadership. If you don't believe that, then there is no purpose for a manager at all. I said this last year multiple times and will say it again. When Baldi is eventually fired (and he will, unfortunately probably not after this year but likely next), he will not get another managerial job in the MLB because he is simply not great managerial material. No team is waiting with bated breath for him to be fired so that they can swoop him up. He will be a great bench coach or front office asset for many years though!

    Lee is easily the best person to follow in the entire organization and likely will remain so until Buck's knee heals (Miranda may beg to disagree)

    I don't know how good or bad Sisk would be in the MLB but he really cannot be worse than Pagan at this point and we would get valuable information for next year. The only purpose Pagan staying on the team right now is to protect the ego of the front office that traded for him and an injured arm. ... And to be clear, the injured arm has a higher WAR than Pagan at '0.' ?

    I called for him to be up and in the MLB bullpen and I'm glad he got the call. With a wipe out pitch, you can be valuable in relief. He has one and some other pitches. The other pitches aren't good enough for long outings

    I know I might be in the minority on this site, but I thought Gardy was a very good manager. We are currently missing some of the intangible spark that he provided. I wonder if his son could eventually be a good hybrid of an analytics based manager with more natural leadership and communication talent.

    If this ends up being thoracic outlet syndrome? ? And yes, shoulder problems are definitely more concerning than elbow problems.... so if the FO missed something serious and more long term that is egregious.
  10. D.C Twins
    Yaaaaaawn....

    "Can the lifeless Twins regroup and re-energize?" Who is responsible for creatively and charismatically providing expert leadership to guide a team out of its collective funk...ummm.... let me check my spreadsheet and I'll get back to you! *repeated from previous post*
  12. D.C Twins
    Yes...ummm who is responsible for creatively and charismatically turning that around through expert leadership...... ummm.... let me check my spreadsheet and I'll get back to you!

    Kepler is 0-27 since returning from the IL. Whether injury (most likely due to his toe) or ineptitude, he needs to sit for a bit. This alone is nowhere near the extent of our problems (Baldi... not that you care, but your overall use of the pitching staff hurts my soul), but certainly a worthy place to start
  14. D.C Twins
    I continue to watch the Sabato AA 'experiment' in awe, sprinkled with morbid curiosity... It would be fascinating to hear from the FO what they saw in his A ball performance that screamed "this guy needs a bigger challenge!"
  15. D.C Twins
    Sabato's promotion to AA is confusing at best.... Sisk not getting a chance in our MLB bullpen is frustrating at best....
  16. D.C Twins
    Wish him the best of luck but won't miss him even a little... Another team can enjoy yearly articles that 'he is in the best shape of his life' and that he has learned to stop chasing the outside slider
  17. D.C Twins
    Attempting to list any worse options would even better reflect his 'value' Duffy maybe and....
  18. D.C Twins
    As I've said in previous posts, his career is in jeopardy. The wrist is a complex and delicate anatomic area which is obviously under repeated stress with MLB swings. The hard part of this will be for the surgeons to estimate the accurate amount of shortening needed to optimize (an educated guess no matter how talented they are and there is no way to gauge success until well after the surgery is done). I wish him the absolute best, but am very worried for his future
  19. D.C Twins
    This wrist is a complex and delicate joint. As mentioned in a string early this year or last, his wrist is definitely a threat to his entire career. Scar tissue sporadically breaking up and causing acute inflammation and pain would be the best explanation because that should become less frequent and severe over time. Fingers crossed but worried
  20. D.C Twins
    I didn't miss him when he was on IL this year and won't miss him next year.... But opposing pitchers certainly did and will!
  21. D.C Twins
    Sands up and into the MLB bullpen please!
  22. D.C Twins
    Is it possible that Sano is trying to be DFA'ed so he can join another team? Or is he just that lost at the plate and guessing like he is playing a game of rock/paper/scissors? Either way.... no mas por favor!
  23. D.C Twins
    More on topic, I think your proposal is reasonable Nick and wouldn't have heartburn if the Twins end up doing something similar. It would improve the team a bit without mortgaging the future when we will (hopefully) be better prepared for the post season with another year of development for our promising young core
  24. D.C Twins
    Quite honestly, outside of trading players that will be lost anyway in the 40 man crunch, stand pat and continue to assess our internal assets the rest of the year (time to start seeing who can help in the bullpen... especially Sands) This team has too many holes to fill at one deadline to be relevant this post season even if they do make it (which is still very much debatable) And it is going to be a seller's market with the additional playoff spots keeping more teams with the mirage of contention Progress is being made this year. If it continues, there will be a more reasonable number of holes to fill at the 2023 deadline. If not... we were headed toward a complete rebuild anyway. I know this is not what any of us want to hear (me included) and there is no guarantee of progress next year, but it IS the most rational decision.

    I just saw a few hubcaps roll past.... that didn't come from our car did it?!
