Luis Arraez: #1 in league in batting average (.400) #1 in league in on-base % (.449) #29 in league in slugging % (.491) #8 in league in OPS (.939) #5 in league in WAR (3.0) ZERO defensive errors Least amount of strikeouts for any player that has played more than 35 games. <<< that's a crazy stat, because he's played in nearly 60. In other words, no player between 36 and 59 games has less strikeouts at the plate. Translation -- he's the toughest out in baseball..............BY FAR! The Twins need a new analytics guy. Can you imagine having nine guys like Arraez in your lineup? The starting pitcher would never get out of the third inning.

Holy offensive explosion!!!

TJSweens -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (6/10/2023 6:04:10 PM)
Correa with a grand slam and Kepler with a 3 run shot (a month's worth of production for him. Larnach hit one out too (must have been a fastball).

Why did we trade Spencer Steer?

quote: ORIGINAL: Steve Lentz Holy offensive explosion!!! Imagine how man runs they could have scored had they not struck out 17 times. To put things into perspective, Arraez has struck out 11 times the entire season. You know how bad the approach has to be to strike out 17 times?

Brad H -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (6/11/2023 7:47:39 AM)
Don't look now, but the Miami Marlins are seven games above .500 and in second place in the NL East. Last season they won just 69 games. Good hitting is infectious. They are now #7 in the league in batting average. Last season they were #28.

Anybody who watches can tell that Arráez has been pretty good and the Twins have been pretty bad. But what's even more depressing is that Arraez produced the equivalent of the entire Twins lineup June 3-9. In that week, Arraez hit .600/.615/.760. Those numbers are enough to outproduce most lineups but it completely dwarfs the Twins, who hit .172/.227/.286 over the same time frame. Even more staggering is that Arraez had more power and run production than the Twins' entire lineup. Arráez didn't hit a home run last week – and has just one home run this season – but he posted a .160 ISO average, which only takes extra-base hits when compiling an average.

Steve Lentz -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (6/11/2023 11:09:10 AM)
By comparison, the Twins posted a .115 ISO average June 3-9. Of course, the biggest difference is the strikeouts. The Twins struck out in 29.3% of their at-bats from June 3-9 while Arraez didn't record a single strikeout in 25 at-bats. Even in the Twins' victory on Saturday, they fanned 17 times before an eighth-inning rally helped them beat the Blue Jays. Want more? Arráez was a more effective run producer with nine RBIs over this sample size, the same number of runs the Twins scored June 3-9. Talk about a brutal seven games for Minnesota. All of these are impressive in isolation, but when listed side-by-side, it shows just how great Arráez has been and how putrid the Twins' bats have been.

The good news is we've beaten Toronto 2 in a row and looking for a sweep today?

Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (6/11/2023 1:03:48 PM)
That's some awesome research Steve. Didn't know you were into ISO and all that.

Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (6/11/2023 1:04:46 PM)
Honestly don't know what fawning over Arraez does for SOME of you. He's gone. The Twins suck at hitting. Arraez can't help them.

Lewis is 7 for his last 7!

Gotta love the extension for Pagan. He sucked last season. He continues to suck this season. Falvine wanted consistency from the pen and they got it in Pagan.

MDK -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (6/11/2023 4:26:06 PM)
Twins had a chance to sweep. Gausman, a very good pitcher, didn't have his good stuff. Time and time again Pagan blows games that are winnable. He snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

MDK -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (6/11/2023 5:03:46 PM)
Pagan = Falvine = morons. Wait, Pagan wasn't a moron. He signed a sweet contract having done zip nada the previous season.

Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (6/11/2023 6:19:53 PM)
Effing Rocco and killing the bullpen 3 guys weren't available today. SMH And he goes to the least dependable. Its a real sickness.
