  1. So you're not heading down a morbid genocidal rabbit hole with that joke?
  2. http://images.t-nation.com/forum_images/2/d/2d46a_ORIG-Sisko_groan.gif
  3. Is it just me or do the Twins have above average difficulty giving signs with a runner on 2nd?
  4. The "Milwaukee effect" Ie. Rapid draining of cheap beer in Wisconsin creates a negative pressure zone thus "sucking" the air from Minnesota?
  5. Now Ryan Lafebvre is quoting Major League. "He hit it too high." I love this broadcast.
  6. Haha I know he's not quite Bill James as far as baseball minds go but his enthusiasm is contagious IMO.
  7. The best thing about playing the Royals is I can get my fix of this dope (I mean this lovingly) http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/144/144-287Bk.jpg
  8. Thrylos you're posting in the wrong thread my friend. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/21917-fun-with-numbers-2016-edition/?do=findComment&comment=457551
  9. Far and away my biggest concern about the Twins is right field. They simply cannot go on with Sano out there. They have to solve that problem. Possibly Park needs to spend time in AAA until they can DL someone, swing a trade, etc. A distant second is Eddie Rosario's... problem... identifying pitches? Or just, identifying strikes? Or cognitive roadblock with taking pitches? I don't know what's going on there but he needs to get his head right because there is no reason at all to throw him a strike right now.
  10. Unfortunately, the data disagrees with you. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=5&season=2016&month=0&season1=2016&ind=0&team=8&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 Sano is not chasing at all. He's missing on pitches in the zone. In the upper third especially. He'll adjust. Buxton swings at a quarter of pitches outside the zone. (Oh God, Rosario...)
  11. I believe Nunez is the better hitter than Suzuki. But its well-documented that coming off the bench cold to pinch hit penalizes a batter, and Nunez (in a small sample) seems particularly prone to it. Fans always overlook this effect.
  12. If there is a righthander on the mound, and 2 outs, and you need a HR (not contact), and Arcia sits while Suzuki bats, I'll be right there with you pitchfork in hand. But this looks to me like complaining for complaining's sake.
  13. People, its going to be a long season if we question every time Molitor doesn't PH for his catcher with Ed freaking Nunez. Its a small sample, but Nunez is 6/32 with no HRs as a PH for his career, and 6 punchouts. I'll take regular old .680 Zuke over that guy 10/10.
  14. Sano's comments: After fouling off the first one, though, Sano completely missed the next two — letter-high and tempting. “I tried to be too aggressive for the pitch. I need to have patience at that moment so I can put it in play,” Sano said. The last one was “a little high. A little lower, and I can hit it out.” http://www.startribune.com/gibson-walks-four-in-twins-loss-to-orioles/374841491/
