Inspector_666 posted:My team may be in 3rd in our division, but the AL central should all be ashamed of themselves. I'm perfectly happy with the Twins being 10th in run differential (and both the teams directly ahead of them have played more games) and am looking forward to nature healing as they play one of the easiest second half schedules in the league.

MrMojok posted:What’s bad about the “Tungsten-arm” tweet is that Trout will never in a full season hit within 300 points of .580 Mike trout has hit within 300 points of .580 in literally every year of his career outside the first one where he didn't even play enough to not count as a rookie the next season.

rickiep00h posted:You mean you don't like winning a 8-1 blowout and a 1-0 game of squandered chances, and then losing 2-1 with our actual closer blowing the save? I'm gonna be honest, I don't really care how we do it if we win a series. It's losing a series outscoring the other team 10-3 that would drive me insane.

Captain Log posted:Also, why are the Polar Bear and J-Rod paired in the first round of the Derby? Those are two of the guys who would probably put on the biggest show throughout the competition. Seeding is based on current HR totals at the time the field is set iirc Also the game is in the middle of the season to try and drive casual fan interest for the second half of the season I would assume.

bawfuls posted:We’re like 8 years into this HRD format and they still haven’t figured out that regular season home run totals are not a good way to seed guys for this I get them not wanting to be accused of media bias in the "seeding" so it's certainly the most fair way to do it if you're insistent on doing a full 8 man bracket but your idea from earlier is still better.

Paracaidas posted:bUt aRRaEz I mean Arraez is still better this year and would be a needed upgrade to the twins offense but he'd also be replacing guys who have been our best hitters this year (Julien, Solano, Kiriloff) because of position overlap whereas Lopez is replacing....I dunno, whoever our fifth starter would be without him. Varland maybe? Either way it's a much bigger gap.

Redeye Flight posted:The hitting on this team is PATHETIC and it has absolutely no right to be. The pitching has kept us afloat for months waiting for the bats to wake up and they have refused to hit well for more than one game at a time. Now it's finally falling down and the bats still are dead. Even if it's just shuffling around deck chairs they need to tell their hitting coach not to come back after the all-star break

https://twitter.com/AaronGleeman/status/1679506950952812544 eugh At least Gallo is only on a one year deal but I keep feeling this dread that they're going to pick up Kepler's option because Falvey seems infatuated by the guy for some reason. Meanwhile, Matt Wallner this year had a short stint in the majors, completely mashed, then got sent back down because  and has continued to mash in AAA

mcmagic posted:^^^ do this for the Yankees now and it will make the Twins look great. it's unfair for the yankees because half their payroll is a guy who hasn't played for two months and might not play for the rest of the year the real answer though is 6.1 bWAR (e: for the four highest paid players, which is half the yankees payroll) IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Jul 13, 2023 |

mcmagic posted:Well you can't really do the same thing with the Yankees because Rodon hasn't pitched and Cole has been good. I'm talking about their 6 highest paid hitters which gets you to 5.5WAR so far which includes Judge's 2.8 through 49 games. Without him it's 3 WAR total from 5 players making ~100 million this year. that's fair, I should have done it that way. Although the article does mention pace so that Yankees number is really almost ten compared to the six from the Twins players. Also ~100 million is less than 40% of the Yankees payroll instead of over half like with the Twins

soggybagel posted:Crushed! https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1681016101549817857 unrelated: the Twins need to put Buxton on the IL with a made up injury or something because the dude cannot hit at all right now and people who can are being forced to sit because he's taking up the DH slot.
