    Release the Correa-ken!!!!! If there is going to be a sustained surge, he'll need to lead it. Ironically a hot September will greatly increase his chances of opting out, but we'll take it anyway if possible! The line up (and order) from today's game needs to be repeated many times over the next month. Days off should no longer be scheduled during the stretch run

    They let Varland pitch past the 5th inning AND more than 80 pitches?!?! I just hope that doesn't get the AAA manager fired!
  3. D.C Twins
    He has also neither managed the entire pitching staff particularly well, nor had sensical lineups at times (Arraez batting 5th and Beckham at DH are just a few of my favorites from just the last couple games). But, the main reason that it is time to move on is that he doesn't have the natural leadership qualities required to be a great manager. He doesn't appear to change or adapt his approach to best suit the needs of the team at any given time. He also doesn't adjust well on the fly. Again, he seems to be a quality person by all accounts and I think he will be a fantastic bench coach or front office person in the future with his methodical analytic approach. But, he's just not a great manager. He'll find a better role and thrive. There will be no shame in that game!

    "....our guys absolutely do things exactly the way I would want to see it done." This just speaks for itself.... I just wanted everyone to appreciate it a second time (Spoiler alert, you may see it again from time to time over the next month)
  5. D.C Twins
    Arraez batting fifth..... the run of Beckham, Kepler, and Leon striking fear into the opposing pitchers with Cave and Sanchez lurking to strike as pinch hitters..... Well, it looks like we've almost reached terminal velocity and the parachute hasn't opened yet!!!!

    "I really didn't like the lack of communication on a really unusual play." (Because it most it was most certainly NOT on my spreadsheet... and I Iet the umpire know that in no uncertain terms ?)

    'cause we're FREE.... FREE Faaaaalllllin'

    Maybe Baldi is trying to get fired?!?! I have such a morbid curiosity (ok unhealthy perseveration about his decision to DH Beckham....
  9. 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
  11. D.C Twins
    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)
  13. D.C Twins
    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.' ?
  14. D.C Twins
    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.
  16. D.C Twins
    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.
  17. 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*
  19. 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
  21. 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!"
  22. 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....
  23. 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
  24. D.C Twins
    Attempting to list any worse options would even better reflect his 'value' Duffy maybe and....
  25. 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
