    Twins union rep

    hybridbear commented on ashbury's blog entry in Left Coast Bias

    One thing that stands out to me in the list of Twins Union Reps above is the lack of diversity. On a team where there are players from many different countries every single union rep for the Twins on that list going back more than a decade is a white guy... maybe it's time for a Latino or African American player to be the Twins Union Rep.

    Que padre saber que los Twins se encargan de la educación de los peloteros jóvenes. Es muy importante para su vida después del béisbol, especialmente como muy pocos llegarán a tener una carrera exitosa en las grandes ligas.

    I've also seen Simmons make some really poor defensive plays so it's interesting to see his OAA being so high. I hope Garver & Arraez will be back soon! These stats show how much they're missed in the lineup. Thanks for writing such a cool article with the statcast metrics!

    DEF & UZR don't have individual player metrics? It would be nice to see which players are contributing to those numbers & which have negative #s. Also, the introductory paragraph talked about Polanco but then the article included no stats for Polanco...

    Time to stop buying tickets to Target Field then. Make the Twins feel the pain in their financials. Maybe then Pohlads will get a clue & fire Baldelli, Falvey, and Levine.

    It’s such a shame. Time for the Pohlad family to clean house starting with Baldelli, Levine, and Falvey.

    This season is a tragedy. Total system failure.

    I was at the game last night & when Rogers came back out for the 9th instead of Colomé or Alcala I said to my friends that the Twins would lose. And once Rogers let the Rangers tie the game & Wadell was the only reliever warming in the pen I said that Baldelli didn't care about winning the game. It's time for Baldelli to be fired. The Twins have the worst manager in all of baseball.

    I like the idea of Buxton 8, Simmons 9, Arraez 1. It would be nice to get Buxton more at-bats than being 8th in the order, but I like the idea of starting the season this way. Please no more Kepler or Garver lead off.

    Incredible article! Thanks for explaining the process & potential hangups!

    I like the idea of Nelson being around more as a coach than a hitter. His steep decline at the end of the 60 game season is a troubling sign. And I’d rather see the youngsters get the majority of the at-bats in 2021. It’d be nice to see him offered a lower salary for 2021 and if he leaves then he leaves. It depends on what the Twins FO believes is his ability for 2021, if their metrics indicate a decline then it’s time to not be sentimental but to make a solid business decision.

    Time to send Rogers down to the alternative site until he figures out how to pitch again. Does he have options left?

    I agree completely with the previous comments. It's not helpful to have a writer skip over the most important half inning of the game in terms of understanding the outcome. I had gone to sleep before Rogers blew it & came to read what happened. But instead I had to rely on the MLB GameDay summary of the plays & the few videos available there to understand what happened. I completely disagree with Baldelli's decision to bring Maeda back out for the 9th, no hitter or not. Watch Maeda end up on the IL now after throwing so many pitches. I don't get Baldelli, he seems to be so progressive but then every once in awhile he makes these dumb "old school" decisions of ignoring pitch counts like this. Also, what on earth is wrong with Rogers? Time to move on from him as closer & let Romo or Duffey get the saves. Rogers is not the best reliever this year at all. I'd say he's worse than May as well this year. Time for the pitching coach to figure out what's wrong with him.

    Any stats on how often 2 teams have played to the same score in 3 consecutive games? Seems fairly unusual.
  15. hybridbear
    Yeah, he should move up & Sano should hit 9th.
  16. hybridbear
    Don't use any of them 2 days in a row! A good article last year on TD showed that it doesn't work for any of them.
  17. hybridbear
    Badelli's bullpen management is horrible!! Look at the chart above, the two bullpen pitchers who struggled, May & Rogers, were pitching in back-to-back games. There was an excellent article here on TD last season about the ineffectiveness of Twins relievers when pitching on back-to-back days. The fact that Baldelli can't figure that out is ridiculous! I also didn't like the decision to pull Stashak so quickly & then leave Wisler in so long.
  18. hybridbear
    Time to move Buxton up in the batting order & bat Sano & Garver 8th & 9th!

    Disfruté de leer tu historia. Espero que lo promocionen a la página principal. Voy a tener que investigar cómo activar notificaciones para tus artículos en español.

    Do both Cave & Astudillo have options left? If so then they could be shuttled back & forth based on matchups & needs throughout the season.
  21. hybridbear
    Trade Rosario & prospects for a starting pitcher?
  22. hybridbear
    Are there ever contracts where the team is protected in the case of player misconduct like Pineda with his banned substance suspension? It would make sense for the Twins to bring him back on maybe a 2-year contract with protection for the team if he gets himself suspended again.
  23. hybridbear
    We can dream, but I don’t think Cole would come to MN without a significant overpayment.
  24. hybridbear
    Why is he being considered with those metrics?
  25. hybridbear
    Do we have any ideas what their contracts are like with the Twins & what the penalties would be if they break the contract?
