    Lol yes I was referring to my point as a pointless quibble, but if you want to be offended by that and infer that I was only referring to you or whatever it was that got you worked up, go for it. I don't care what the officials in NY think, they made a mistake and most would agree and side with the refs on the field who were put in an awkward position by those officials.

    You are right I guess that it didn't beat him easy, but the rest of what you say doesn't make sense. "unless he is in possession of the ball or making a “legitimate attempt” to receive a throw" Just looking at this passage you quoted it clearly wouldn't matter if the play was close or not, in possession or making an attempt means the ball is there or arriving. All that said this is just a pointless quibble.

    He did double clutch it but that was irrelevant. The throw beat him easy anyway.

    Mr Miranda is fun to watch.

    Man that was a damn exciting baseball game! The drama! My paisano Mr Baldelli is not prone to histrionics, to the consternation of many, but by golly he showed his deep knowledge of the game today as well as how strong his ability is to not over react by the contrast of his actions today. I have never enjoyed dirt being kicked on home plate more!

    Probably a condition that wouldn't have appeared if he was wasn't the son of a hitting coach who has swung a bat millions of times.

    Well he is singing a different tune now and that's ok with me. If he can make it as a starter all the better.

    What I remember was in spring training Duran said he was really enjoying the bullpen. He said as a starter he was always sore and he felt great with the reliever workload (paraphrasing).

    Earlier in the year I didn't see Correa coming back next year, but it is now looking like a possibility. The guy has proven to be clutch, however and he could really catch fire the rest of the way. Depth is good and with Royce needing time to get back and the pitching depth available on paper for next year, it could be good.

    I'm just going off what Gleeman said on his podcast. He said he looked pretty shook up and called his wife. I can understand him accepting an assignment to St Paul, the team is winning and needs pitching, he might get another chance yet.

    I agree that Sanchez looked pretty good and could eat some innings for this team. He is not on the active roster however as he was DFAed after his start. He was not happy about it but did clear wavers and is now at St Paul.

    We get this line of thinking all the time, but I know if it were me and the choices were going under the knife or trying rest and rehab first, I would choose the latter every time.

    The Twins need to move up this list, where they are is not tenable. I will add, however, that I think the Twins were among the league leaders in innings per start in '19 & '20. This says to me it's more about the horses (Archer is the glaring example) than Baldelli. That would fall on those that aquire the talent.

    Another thing I notice is there is a lot of payroll in the top ten.

    I think the Twins are definitely impacted by the tenure of the player. I didn't see them just DFAing Sano and I doubt they'll do that with Duffey. I'm trying to think of any tenured veteran they've done that to and coming up empty (I may be totally off-base here). They will just stash Duffey in low leverage situations till the end of the year and say goodbye after the season. Duffey can eat some innings and not hurt the team.

    This is just too damn bad for Alex. He had wrist issues in the minors. Growing up the son of a hitting coach the guy has swing the bat millions of times. Hopefully this isn't a cronic issue wreaking his career. With the money involved here, because sadly in the US healthcare is gonna cost ya, I'm sure he'll get multiple opinions. I had a bad high ankle sprain once and it mostly healed in a few months. It did not feel right for a year. Here's hoping he can get right by next year. Blame game? I'll pass.

    Cleveland's vaunted pitching pipeline the Twins are trying to emulate was largely constructed through trades.

    Ho hum I guess that exciting deadline run is over back to the worry beads
  20. wabene
    Oh yeah the Twins catchers who can't hit, Harper, Pierzinski, Mauer, Garver...... Help please I'm sure there are more

    This speaks to what a well designed ballpark TF is and on a small footprint at that.

    Another vote for AJ on the mic. This is the 3rd game I've watched that he's done. He has a little edge to him I like. I've always liked LaTroy and now Perkins coming on has been good. Those games where we had both LaTroy and Perk were the best yet. More of that please and Lessneau.

    This is a really great idea. I'm sure the Twins analytics department has gobbled it up already like the Twins Daily Bullpen Usage Chart ©

    Who is this mysterious Mr Data?
  25. wabene
    They will have Maeda and half a year of Paddack and Lewis, so there is that. I thought Paddack looked promising when healthy.
