    If Perez's role in the playoffs is to be a lefty specialist, it's pretty odd that he hasn't been used that way once this season, no? Obviously you cannot start him in one of these playoff games, is he worth putting on the roster to face one guy a night in a role he's never had? Berrios Odorizzi Dobnak Smeltzer Rogers May Duffey Littel Romo Graterol Stashak As bad as Gibson has been, I think I'd trust him to get you 2-3 innings in game 3 or 4 at Target Field over Perez

    He is not signed through 2021. He is controllable through 2021

    Don't forget, Trout has also provided that wRC+ in 31 more games played...

    Gibson's ERA since June 16th is higher than Martin Perez's.
  5. alarp33
    You said he was pretty good, not mediocre. That's not a bad stretch, thats half his season.
  6. alarp33
    June 19 - August 19 Gibson has a 5.23 ERA. "still a pretty good pitcher". Ok
  7. alarp33
    I am as in to the underlying stats and metrics as anyone, there is tons of value in that stuff. But it's August of a pennant race and Gibson is not getting the job done, repeatedly. I don't care that his underlying performance was promising, I care that his team got him a 2 run lead and he couldn't protect it.. which has become a common occurrence from him

    I mean I was throwing out a pretty simple comparison, not really trying to argue the merits of qualifying innings. I don't know how relevant comparing him to guys who have started 1 game is either. Lower it to 70 innings? 36th of 56. He hasn't been very good, feel free to pick away at the loose numbers I used to show the Twins should expect more from him
  9. alarp33
    At what point does last year become the outlier for Gibson? He had a career low BABIP and career high LOB%. Theres 28 AL pitchers with enough innings pitched to qualify, he's 20th in ERA this season
  10. alarp33
    I could be mistaken, but does it matter Sano has not physically reached the catcher or the plate yet? His pathway was blocked even though he is yet to be there.

    Kyle Gibson and Jose Berrios in August; 7 Starts, Twins record 2-5 38.2 Innings 36 runs 30 earned runs Big time performances down the stretch from the 2 guys who are supposed to be your best starters.
  12. alarp33
    I assume this is a bit? Can't be real
  13. alarp33
    LOL. Literally last year this wasn't true
  14. alarp33
    It still doesnt make sense. It was the 2-4 spots in the Milwaukee lineup coming up, you use Romo, Dyson, Duffey. Is there a person here who didn't see that hanging curve ball to Grandal coming? Somehow the Manager didn't.
  15. alarp33
    Excellent use of the bullpen? Did we watch the same game? He used his 5th or 6th best bullpen option in the 7th inning vs the heart of the Milwaukee order, who promptly gave up 4 runs and the lead.
  16. alarp33
    Thats not what I'm telling you
  17. alarp33
    No, Gibson has not been good vs good teams. Did you really think 39 runs in 53 innings may have been good? Berrios vs playoff hopefuls; 10 starts, 62.2 innings, 24 earned runs. 3.45 ERA Odorrizzi vs playoff hopefuls; 13 starts, 65.1 innings, 32 earned runs, 4.41 ERA Pineda vs playoff hopefuls; 9 starts, 47.2 innings, 22 earned runs, 4.15 ERA
  18. alarp33
    Those were not his 26 best innings And the theme many have picked up on with Gibson this year is when the team needs a big start from him he craps the bed. See both starts vs Cleveland since All Star break
  19. alarp33
    Vs Playoff teams (or playoff hopefuls); NYM, NYY, TBR, BOS, OAK, CLE; 10 starts, 53 innings, 39 runs, 31 earned runs. 5.07 ERA with a whopping 8 unearned runs. 4 of the 10 games didn't get out of the 5th inning.
  20. alarp33
    1.73 ERA in 26 innings vs CWS and Baltimore, if the Twins face one of those teams in the playoffs Gibson will be ready to go. 4.88 ERA vs everyone else.
  21. alarp33
    Again, he threw 42 pitches over 4 appearances where his velo was fine, and his performance was dominant. There was nothing to see there, but the insinuation in the article I had an issue with was that this was some glaring issue. "He's broken, he was starting to break before he got here" "One of the clearest indicators something is wrong" "stop missing bats in such a stark fashion". This wasn't a large handful of 20+ pitch outings where he struggled to put guys away or get guys out. Nothing of the sorts. He threw extremely efficient innings 4 straight outings.
  22. alarp33
    Probably a good point and I was too harsh. I don't like the insinuation the front office didn't do their jobs, when using cherry picked examples. If someone in the front office deserves being called out I'm all for it, but the evidence here is flimsy at very best
  23. alarp33
    Baseball reference Game logs. Mid May he had 3 straight appearances with 0 swinging strikes, and on each side of those 3 games had a game with 12 pitches and 1 swinging strike. 55 pitches in Mid June with 2 swinging strikes. Again, this really wasn't that huge of anomaly. He wasn't struggling through appearances. He threw 42 effective pitches across 4 outings
  24. alarp33
    The suggestion in the article is that the Twins failed to do their job by not noticing this issue. You are suggesting (like the author) that they should have noticed even though no stats seem to back up that claim? Again, throwing 10.5 pitches per inning, plenty of strikes, with normal velo it not evidence of an issue getting worse the Twins could have realistically known about
  25. alarp33
    You blamed Falvey and Levine for not knowing he was hurt by using those 4 appearances, 42 pitches, where his velocity was fine, he got through 4 innings with giving up 2 hits (1 infield) and no runs. You said he stopped missing bats in "such stark fashion" a "clear indicator something was wrong". He didnt struggle getting batters out, didn't struggle missing bats (he averaged under 11 pitches per inning appearance) yet used that as evidence the Twins didn't do their jobs... while also ignoring his previous appearance included 4 swinging strikes (apparently after said injury)
