    This. He isn’t an analytics dream. All he does is get guys out. Will it continue I don’t know but until then maybe some of the Twins other starters should take notice especially Berrios.
  2. Linus
    Buxton Cruz Maeda and Dobnak can share it. I actually more confidence in in Buxton and Dobnak to sustain this which is surprising
  3. Linus
    Never thought we would have had two bullpen games at this point Clevinger and Plesac must be real D bags
  4. Linus
    Berrios has never had good command so I don’t see throwing harder as the problem. However hard he throws he has to hit his targets better that is when he will be an ace. The stuff is there.
  5. Linus
    I’m with you Doc. Dobnak was rolling and likely would have given them another inning with only a dozen more pitches
  6. Linus
    Yes it is. He has the stuff and sufficient velocity. He lacks the ability to consistently locate. He ends up with 25 pitch innings way too often
  7. Linus
    Command of his pitches is a far bigger problem than velocity. The focus on velocity in modern analytics is overblown. Berrios is the perfect example
  8. Linus
    I’m impressed with his defense this year. He’s made several good plays at several different positions
  9. Linus
    I think his lack of command and ability to change speeds are bigger reasons for his struggles.
  10. Linus
    If Alcala gains some control he could be as good as Pressly. That may be a big if.
  11. Linus
    It’s the latest data analytics theory. It’s called pitch to contact. It’s going to be big!
  12. Linus
    Thorpe looked like Gibby out there. Afraid his stuff isn’t good enough
  13. Linus
    Good question- nothing other than a comfort thing.
  14. Linus
    I’m not worried about his bat. He has a great swing and decent eye. I’m more worried about his throwing. The knee on the ground thing with runners on is not going to work. He is not nearly quick enough to throw anybody out
  15. Linus
    Buxtons swing has gotten long again. His hands are so high for someone who struggles with pitch recognition. He needs to prioritize contact and worry about power later
  16. Linus
    Dobnak is quoted after the game as saying he pitches to contact. That grinding sound you here is the gnashing of teeth on these boards.
  17. Linus
    Berrios has as good of stuff as Bieber. The difference is command and it is huge
  18. Linus
    Smeltzer was dominant for his first inning and some. He got lit up but could have been out of there with some help from Polanco. A four hopper that makes it by Donaldson and Jorge was not good
  19. Linus
    Nice article Seth. Most excited about Duran. Not as familiar with Chalmers and don’t like Alcala s lack of control. Hopefully that improves with development
  20. Linus
    Bailey looks like the clock might have struck midnight. I sure hope isn’t Perez version 2
  21. Linus
    I tell ya even as a kid I got no respect. We had a dog that we called Egypt because he left a pyramid in every room. No respect at all
  22. Linus
    I give credit to the front office. If you can’t get an ace then build depth. They have done a great job of that. I feel that the Twins can withstand injuries or poor performance pretty easily. It will hurt in a playoff series but their rotation should get us there
  23. Linus
    This what I don’t want as it weakens the outfield all the way around. I wanted a Maybin type player that would leave Max in right and Eddie in left
  24. Linus
    You want Marwin playing center field? Not me. He is pretty much only subsistence level in the outfield at this point
  25. Linus
    I have not understood why the twins haven’t acquired a right handed hitting backup outfielder over the last several years. It’s been a need for a while....
