Twins really making Sale work for it today.

[hawkiconk]

Hawk also thought Gomez was the best outfield since Yaz.

well

he has been ''in the game for parts of 7 decades'' which he makes sure no one forgets

[Guest USAFChief]

Another reason why this entire situation is baffling. While I doubt the difference is huge, left field has to be more active than right. More hitters are right-handed. Hitters tend to pull the ball when they make good contact. Revere's arm strength isn't as much of an issue in left.

 

There are a half dozen reasons for Revere to play in left and no good reasons for him to play in right.

 

Twins Baseball™.

We checked this at BYTO, remember? RF gets more balls than LF, consistently. CF gets the most.

 

For the record, Revere doesn't catch that double by Rios, either.

[GCTF]

"Revere firing the ball"

 

makes me laugh.

[DPJ]

God damn Blackburn is just such a bad pitcher.

[Guest USAFChief]

Clearly, the sinker "isn't working."

Too strong. Obviously.

[rnw24]

clearly blackburn needs to go away...he sucks

[asmus_ndsu]

Maybe its just my way of thinking but being able to get "a groundball at will" is about as counterproductive as a sacrifice bunt (in most situations)

I remember discussing it but I missed any posts with data stating it one way or the other. Do you remember where someone found the info?

[DPJ]

I hate bunts with a passion, but I'd bunt with Doz here.

[DPJ]

.323/.375/562 BA against Blackburn...thank god he's locked up for next season.

[GCTF]

outstanding.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Sigh. This team makes me want to drink heavily.

There was never any data posted about more balls to RF over LF.

 

Chief (i think) just posted some bull**** about a players range and how it doesn't matter where they play.

I'm still waiting for that .890 OPS SS with a gold glove to emerge.

[Ultima Ratio]

All it takes is a hidden ball trick play to get our base runners out. This is the third baserunner of ours to get caught between bases this week. Horrible.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Right. Because that's exactly what I called Dozier.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Eddie Munster with the walk.

They are managed by the best in the game.

I wish BYTO was still open. I called Doz a middling prospect who's a utility player and you went ape ****.

And I replied that a guy who puts up an .890 OPS in the high minors is more than a middling prospect until he proves otherwise. That's it. That's all I ever argued.

 

On the other hand, I didn't even want him called up to Minnesota when the Twins did it. I thought he needed more time to sort out his early season woes.

I'm 99.9% sure you didn't say that at all.

 

You used .890 OPS about 15 times and gold glove about 4-5 times.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Revere had some oomph behind that swing.

 

Too bad it happened at Target Field.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I've never referred to anyone as "gold glove". I intentionally never use that phrase unless they've actually won the award and then I generally use it sarcastically.

Bring back BYTO cause you are lying your ass off right now.

pottymouth

I'm not going to argue this with you. People here have been posting with me for a dozen years now. They know I don't throw around useless phrases like "gold glove" because that award is a joke.

 

Anyway, I'm finished with this conversation. The BYTO archive will return when it returns and you can feel free to dreg up any posts you like at that point.
