Major League Standings

Batting Average:

1) Luis Arraez .335

Hits:

1) Luis Arraez, 87

On-Base %:

16) Luis Arraez, .372

OPS:

48) Luis Arraez .776

Arraez has struck out just 16 times in 260 at-bats. Julien struck out 66 times in 169 at-bats before being sent down to the minors. Anybody thinking that was what was best for the team needs a head examination.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Pablo Lopez is 5-6 with a 5.45 ERA. He's given up the second most home runs in the league (13).

We don't need some Sabermetrics guy running the organization. All we need is a guy that understands baseball with a pair of good eyes.

I do miss Arraez. We do seem to be in the minority though.

Modern baseball has something against Arraez. Traded by 2 teams and really not giving the Padres a boost(wins) even with the good batting average.

I'm guessing if he was batting 2nd in Yankees or Dodgers lineup, we would be hearing more about him.

Pablo will come around. He might be tipping pitches.

Would we be better with Louis Varland starting and Arraez??

We traded Arraez because we have Miranda, Lewis and Lee and we can't draft and develop pitchers.

Bingo!!! Give that man a cigar. The Twins suck at scouting, drafting and developing pitchers. They wouldn't pay Berrios what he was worth and traded him away. They had nobody to front the rotation and nothing in the pipeline. They dealt from a position of depth and got Lopez, who effectively fronted the rotation and won them 2 playoff games.

It's not a matter of the rest of us not missing Arraez. We just accept the concept that you have to give up something to get something.

Same reason Margot and Farmer are on the roster; Falvey, Levine and Rocco are all morons.

And luck out against a terrible pitcher in extras.

Fire Popkins
At this point how in the world does he have a job? RISP at bats are horrible. Other situational at bats just as bad.

Margo is 3-30 in 37 plate appearance "as a sub"; hitting 262 as a starter
I heard stats that are even more mind boggling
In Rocco's idiotic sub/ph moves, Margot has been a PH over 20 plate appearance
He has THREE WALKS
That's it

One of those insanity definitions. Unbelievable.

Buxton is abysmal. Best thing he did Sunday at the plate was get hit in the big inning.

Others are floundering as well..

And the ol' analytics idiots ignored Farmer having 8 hits against Keller Friday; Start Castro and others flopped too.

Is there a plan when these guys go up? Sure doesn't look like it.
Lay down and whimper when the Yankees clean up, then let it carry over. Good grief.

Really need to clean house Top to bottom.
Who do they coach up?
Where is the pitching pipeline that Cleveland has that Falvey was allegedly one of the key parts (doubtful; as noted earlier they can't scout or coach up pitching)

None of this happens as usual. The cash flows, the sheep nod and do their MN Nice dumb stuff. ANd the Pohlads laugh all the way to the bank.

Didn't have a TV deal cuz they were too CHEAP and wait for MLB to do the footwork and make a streaming service happen. Arizona ran circles around these idiots and got to the WS.

So annoying as a fan who gives little care about the extras, which you apparently need in the smartphone society that doesn't know the rules or players.

Just Effing Win

ANd they can't.

Don't forget that Brad H doesn't care about the playoffs, doesn't watch the Twins, and needs something to troll about on the Twins thread to boot.

Once again, overdependence on analytics.

I don't hate analytics but if you overuse them you do stupid things, Like pulling a pitcher that is cruising too soon. and putting in Thielbar to blow it all for you.

Royce Lewis’ 22 HR are 2 more than any other player in Twins/Senators history in his first 80 career games. today is his 79th

Only player with more HR in his first 80 games with the franchise, at any point in a career: Nelson Cruz, 26


Funny. It feels like he has more than 22 HRs, and that he's played in fewer than 79 games...

What the hell does that even mean?

I was there with Twinsfan.

Let me tell you. we were cruising with a 7 point lead, then he puts Theilbar in. Suddenly a game that seemed very well in hand was far too close for comfort.

spewing some bullshit is all I can figure.

What Thielbar needs to figure out now is that he's old and it's time to hang em up.

For the love of baseball Falvine....it's time to cut your losses with this guy.

It means Rocco will continue to put Thielbar out there with the same results with the hope the results are different. I think there's a word for that. Insanity

It was a fun game. I almost want to thank Rocco for making it even more exciting coming out of the rain delay.

Trekkie was admonished by the guy in front of us for talking too much. That was too funny! The guy left when it started raining. I wouldn't even call him a real fan.
