@RyanHanaWWP This team doesn’t have the top end talent to out-talent good teams but doesn’t have any grit to drag good teams out to the deep end and win ugly. Just in utter purgatory
@RyanSpiek@tlschwerz He’s obviously one cog in the wheel and Pittsburgh has systemic rot. But, asking him to be a force multiplier with an outgunned Minnesota Roster feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy
@RyanSpiek@tlschwerz I don’t question he’s a smart guy. Everyone in the bigs has advanced baseball acumen. I question the same things that were documented during his time in Pittsburgh. Ineffective communicator and young players plateaued or regressed frequently.
The Twins can say they want to play better defense, but this is the reality.
Martin doesn't round the ball, he doesn't make a hard throw, and he throws it in to the wrong base giving up another 90 feet.
@RyanSpiek@tlschwerz I agree. But the hiring of the manager, the assembly of the roster. It all creates the culture for this product to exist. Why wouldn’t this be the end result?
@HoernerMVP@Hardpard Wow, very elaborate. Please tell me what pitch best represents how a game can describe his changeup. I don’t believe the coding in the game could allow his changeup to exist. It might have been before your time but when he broke out into the league his changeup was different.
Apparently 368 homers and 1200 hits with minimal postseason success is first ballot hall of fame stuff..
Now Jey Uso is on my screen
This Netflix Broadcast is so fucked
Professional sports are a visible example of a merit-based system, but through the Rooney Rule, the NFL requires its teams to use race-based hiring practices.
We are putting Commissioner Roger Goodell on notice: the Rooney Rule violates Florida law, and it must stop.
PCA played good baseball for about 80 games last year and then fell off the face of the Earth.
The Cubs just extended him long term. Looks like a Kristian Campbell situation to me.
@penguinscopper@bglaeser8 I’m a tool for providing the proof? I actually can’t imaging being you IRL. Wipe the drool off your phone, and close down the internet for the night.
Do not like the CF platoon.
That means that Chourio is LF which means Bauers AB are severely limited. (Vaughn is not playing only vs LHP).
Mitchell has done nothing to deserve full time AB vs RHP. Bauers has.
@penguinscopper@bglaeser8 I’m not butt hurt, more so amazed by your extreme inability to do simple research before being an absolute simpleton on the internet.
All major league plate appearances
‘22 - 68PAs = 134 OPS+
‘23 - 73PAs = 105 OPS+
‘24 - 224 PAs = 124 OPS+
@onlinesportsguy@bglaeser8 You get butt hurt over a simple question? That's unfortunate for you. Sure let's start with telling me the last season where he had over 300 plate appearances? Thanks for your time.
