I get it. But for these folks to try and play the Moneyball card at this point? Nah. The A's and Rays have been collectively shit on for years, caught in the middle of an owner vs. municipality pissing match. You got a new stadium.

I guess I respect the candor, but the timing is terrible. You don't say that to your fans on the eve of Spring Training.

Maybe someone pressed him about it, and he just decided to answer honestly. I didn't see the full conversation. If that's the case, at least the reporter asked.

Re: Twins Rotation… What now?
Rotation per Fangraphs. Feek/others is this correct?
Lopez
Ryan
Ober
Paddack
Varland
Bullpen arms to start the season on IL:
Duran
Thielbar
Topa
Winder
Weiss
The bullpen looks promising to help this weak staff if they get healthy.

Yes. And the only realistic options on the 40 man right now for rotation depth are Woods Richardson and Brent Headrick. If two starters go down, the team is cooked.

Apparently signing Montgomery makes too much sense. The negligence on this is mind boggling.

Or even just a guy like Clevinger at this point.ForCaleb wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 10:28 amApparently signing Montgomery makes too much sense. The negligence on this is mind boggling.
I assume there's a move for a Kuechel-type on a minor league deal coming after the seasin starts.

Bauer. The dude is exonerated. Sign him for cheap at this point. He can't be worse than Ober for Odin's Sake.

Re: Twins Rotation… What now?
ober has been fine outside of the royals game. a team that he struggled against last year too. louie actually looked pretty good to me in his start against the O's. made a couple of bad pitches on two strike counts and julien's error cost him a couple of runs as well. but he pitched ahead in the count for the most part all night. much different than his previous start. paddack was bad. that's a very good hitting team though. a lot of pitchers are going to have their problems facing that lineup. if they can stay healthy they should be okay.
bringing in okert in the seventh instead of leaving pablo in was terrible managing. rocco got exactly what he deserved for that move. then jax finished it off in that game. thielbar ruined ober's start too.
they say a good manager can get you two extra wins during the year. maybe three--and vice versa. with the way rocco handles this pitching staff i have a hard time believing that.

the next start should be with the big club.
