    He was winding up on that throw like he wanted to throw it high and far out of the stadium — you probably thought the same thing.

    Shoulda blown it!

    If an ump makes a bad call, Smeltzer can take that whistle he’s wearing around his neck and blow on it, stopping play.

    Where’s the contact play when you need it edit: nm

    Double, triple, and even homer your efforts; I hope so — for everyone’s sake!

    I appreciate the first hand accounts from @RochesterDave and @ashbury - thanks! Nice commentary as usual, Matt. Indeed, Gordon was a nice trade piece back in the the 2016-2019 years. Gordon was also not the first middle infielder to be called up in early 2021 (Blankenhorn who threw that ball away in Oakland and at least one other name we have all forgotten already) were called to the big leagues ahead of Gordon. But this is 2022 and Gordon can continue to be a nice player off the bench or to spot start for this team.

    Load Management, that's how!

    I remember last summer saying that I wanted to see Calvin Faucher promoted to MLB, give some unheralded guys like Faucher a look for 2022, since the bullpen was so bad last year and I figured they would move on from a bunch of guys. As it turns out, Tampa Bay got Faucher in the Cruz deal and now he is on the 26-man roster tonight for the Rays! Not saying this guy is going to light the world on fire, but still, nice to know I wasn't completely insane at the time.

    My read is that Royce Lewis showed enough in his short stint with the Twins to put to rest any doubts about his status as a top ten prospect. I would think Lewis would fetch the best available pitcher and teams might even be calling the Twins already.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That’s where my mind went as well! My list would be: 1) Lewis, 2) Arraez, 3) Polanco, 4) Correa, 5) Larnach

    If I were an Angles fan, I’d be upset about this recent stretch of baseball! This must be very Maddoning for them!

    Thanks! I saw all the years in other tables so I forgot to check for the expand/collapse symbol in that one.

    Also, thanks for sticking around in the thread for follow up! i did a quick check of Duffey’s profile page on baseball savant, and pitch tracking - spin rate data only goes back to 2021. Am I missing something, or is that what you are seeing? Last year that data went back further. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/tyler-duffey-608648

    I’m not taking a side on this, and don’t know how Buxton reaggravated his knee, but according to the article it’s a lingering issue from last season? As mentioned by @Rosterman and @Chachi — Buxton’s performance incentives — my understanding is that they don’t kick in until next season. With this new load management program, if this is how it’s going to be going forward, I have to wonder if Buxton will have trouble reaching even the lowest bonus step of 502 PA even when he’s healthy for a full season, which puts serious MVP considerations (his other pay incentive) pretty much out of reach, which means… I have no idea what any of this means. We need him on the field, for sure.

    It seems a little contradictory given that Woods-Richarson’s stats are not too bad, but as part of any future deal he would be an over-traded prospect at that point. (Drafted by Mets, traded to Jays, traded to Twins, traded to next team.) So unless there is a team or scout out there still in love with him from his amateur days, I would think his status as being traded multiple times would raise questions on a negotiation call.

    Berrios will be fine. Another way to frame it is I think Toronto still does that trade 10 times out of 10, with the talent they have the next few years, and their window. Exactly the kind of trade the Twins would benefit from, in my opinion. It’s just too bad for Toronto that the Yankees are off to such a a torrid start this season.

    My thinking is that these moves improve our chances this weekend!
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If you recall, the season has been backed up a week, so if you could be more lenient about how late in November..

    Duran came in the 6th to face the top of the Detroit order. For those scoring at home, that means the top of the Detroit order would have also come up in the 9th (or 8th). So while there’s an argument to be made for using Duran while the game is close, there’s also the argument for saving Duran again for the higher leverage innings at the end. A one-run lead in the 8th is higher leverage than a one-run lead in the sixth. But anyway. Let’s all throw our support behind Chai Chai Gonzo-LAY (WKRP reference) getting the start tomorrow in Toronto. go Twins!
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Drama free! just the way it should be
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Be interesting to see what happens with Duran as the season goes along ... after two years of not a lot of work, I am assuming he has an innings limit or a maximum he can go this season, hmmm, ... win today and a discussion for another day ?
