Hand is a legit closer lmao

Hand? The guy with 68 saves in his 9 year career? Career 3.66 E.R.A? Save success rate of under 80%? Lmfao, get the fuck out of here.

What statistical categories are you looking at?

Name one.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Prior to tonights games

vs Lefties
Hand:.105/.227/.105
Rogers:.375/.444/.375

vs Righties
Hand: .185/.241/.296
Rogers: .246/.310/.400

Overall

Hand: 1.29 ERA/.86 WHIP/12.9 SO/1.88 FIP
Rogers: 2.05 ERA/1.4 WHIP/ 11.5 SO/ 2.98 FIP

It isn't even close

He wasn't a reliever or closer for half those years you dolt.

Since becoming a full time late inning reliever(whether closing or set up) he has a 2.51 era in 3 seasons plus 2 months this year. All while pitching anywhere from 72-89 innings.

I suggest you start following baseball, this process will be much easier.

Hand is under contract through next year at less than 7M per with a team option for 21, sign me up!

Also, he's fucking from Minnesota!

Now we just got to hope that PickleRicks relatives are in the Indians front office and willing to part ways with Hand for a bag of peanuts.

Rogers numbers have been skewed greatly from the past few outings. And Hand is still living off being new to the AL. Baseball reference dot com is a great site to see any and all stats and comparisons as well as situational break downs. They are very similar over their careers, Rogers just has a lower era.

Shit, i'll buy the Pepsi...

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Was he on a pitch count?

Probably.

Nonsense, Hand's numbers are still a little better if you take away his starts. Don't get me wrong I love Taylor Rogers but to say you don't want Hand on the team has me wondering if you are really a Twins fan.

I just said that was prior to tonights outing. So Rogers are going to get worse.

Rogers isn't bad. He's a very quality reliever. He's a true set up guy tho. Hand is a legit all star pitcher that can do so at that level in many roles.

The fact you say you wouldn't want him for anything but love Rogers is nuts. We could use both, Hand is better.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Haha ok. Didn't he get lit up last night? If you want to be champs, you need to beat the good teams in the tough games.

It was his first blown hold or save since last june!

The majority of that pitching in the NL with the freaking padres. His whole 48 inning pitching in the AL ober the course of two years is one huge ass sample size huh? Gtfoh

Why does the Padres have anything to do with how well he pitched?

Are you drinking?

And i sad past few outings.

But since it happened in the past 24 hours its still in their gerbil brains so lets panic.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Btw... Hand pitched considerably better last year once he went to the Indians.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

We have a top 10 staff in most categories... stop with the "sky is falling." Buyer beware!
