  1. Seth, are they still doing the half season standings for a playoff spot? Is it possible that Miranda is staying to finish out that 'half season' Otherwise, I have no idea why he has not been promoted. This has been consistent and sustained excellence.
  2. Well....let's have more fun with math to get the complete picture... His AVERAGE exit velocity with strikeouts was (96.5+0+0+0)/4 = 24.125 mph* There, I knew that modern statistics could still explain a crappy performance! *does not include 5th AB; If anyone an find it, feel free to recalculate; the average will still be bad
  3. Honest question... how was shoemakers WPA not - infinity.... What is the worst a WPA could be... wouldn't that 'effort' have to be it?!
  4. I would consider any and all trades.... gut this team like a dead fish
  5. Duran... I know it is way more pressure that you deserve, but please understand that you represent at least 80% of the meager hope remaining in this organization....so starts like this are a bit of a gut punch ☹️
  6. I hate to break it to everyone, but Lewis has a looooooong way to go before proving he is a MLB type batter. Please refresh your memory with his A+ K/BB ratio. AFL SSS does not erase this season long disaster. He has MUCH more left to prove (even before coming back from a season long injury!). I don't like it, but it's true. Penciling him into the Twins future is hopeful at this point.... at best
  7. Not adverse to playing Rooker at MLB level the rest of the way too (though I strongly suspect he is in the "feel good about losing something not worth keeping" category but would like to be proven wrong!)
  8. Gordon....Gordon...GORDON! For the Love of Lombardozzi play him (almost) every day at MLB level. We need to know what we have so as not to lose something good, or feel good about losing something not worth keeping. PLEASE FO......figure it out!
  9. Well, he is completely un-tradable. What team in contention in their right mind would be thinking.... "We really need someone who can give away precious ABs in the post season....where can we find him and how many of our prospects can we give away for him!"
  10. And whatever will we do tomorrow without Colo-me-no-longer-needed-on-this-team available to pitch?!
  11. To repeat a my post from the game thread with an extra sprinkle Rocco using Sano to "Pinch Strike Out" was absolutely priceless on soooo many levels What an absolute clown car this team is. Speaking of.... Sano should be required to have circus music for his walk up song until his K rate drops below 35% or his batting average goes above 0.200! And the "strike out" coach should have to sit on a small stool next to the ball boy/girl down the foul ball line for the whole game until...um...there is any sign that....uh....he is successfully...er... coaching hitting. Done and..... Done
  12. There is San-NO way Sano should receive any 'award' or 'mention' for hitting at any point of this year.
  13. How did this list not just include Sano five times in a row?
  14. For those who have seen him pitch and/or know his stuff... Is Moran considered a real prospect?.... Seems to be building a decent body of work at AA and not too old at 24 Would appreciate it if someone could drop some knowledge on me
  15. We need Pineda to stay hot and Cruz and Simmons to ramp it up so we can maximize return at the trade deadline. Pray that Berrios does not get injured so we can maximize return at trade deadline. (Tears rolling down cheeks) Pray that Buxton gets back healthy and showcases to maximize return at trade deadline Pray that Sano.... Just kidding...giggles...no contending team would put him on their 40 man for free much less give up anything for him (can you imagine giving up that many AB for free in the playoffs when each bat is magnified?!) Giggles!
  16. ....or just let him fill up the Gatorade cups in the dug out and make sure the bats are in the right slot
  17. Who am I kidding... I can't be positive with the organization. Sano struck out in one AB with 0/7 pitches in the strike zone. They literally dared him to walk and he couldn't do it. Check out the heat map for his hit zone on ESPN next time during the game... He doesn't have a hole in his swing as much as only one hole where he can actually hit the ball I could care less if he has 5 walk off HR in a year....still not even close to making up for gross negligence and borderline incompetence at the plate. I could care less if he goes somewhere else and develops into something. It ain't happening here and it is excruciating to watch. And if you think that a hole that big in the line up doesn't hurt team morale and momentum, you are crazy
  18. I'm going to try to inject some positive... My top things to be excited about the Twins the rest of the year 1. Buxton (WHEN he plays).... just a joy... Flashes of Athletic Brilliance reminds me a bit of Bo Jackson (look him up on you tube for any kids out there... maybe the best pure athlete ever before his catastrophic hip injury) 2. Duran: Good Lord does he look the part. Me has a really good feeling about him (of course I had a 'good feeling' about Kepler being our #3 hitter for 7-10 years with all star selections sprinkled in, so what the hell do I know) 3. Miranda: Looks like legit progression and not just a hot spell 4. Larnach: OBP of .380! Professional AB suggest sustained success and progression. 5. Kirilloff: only drops to #5 because I am very worried long term about his wrist. Wrists are delicate and complicated to heal/take care of/fix surgically long term.
  19. We proved that we can beat probably the worst team in baseball.... it's better than the alternative but not really something to get excited about
  20. I have zero problems moving on from Sano..... make that less than zero. He is not compatible with a consistently performing lineup or sustained winning. Good luck to him... elsewhere
  21. Mr. Sano, I so very much enjoyed our reunion last night. Love, The Golden Sombrero
  22. Is it possible that Colome is a sleeper agent sent by Chicago to implode our team? Can we really rule this out? I'm not sure??
