Only four innings to slog through. Piece a cake.

 

Yup, they're gonna clean up. I think soap is involved... So don't complain too much if the cake is a lye.

I agree about being interested to see the correlation, but I wouldn't think that 4 hits has a high correlation to winning.

Suppose you spot the other team 10 total bases from one slot in the lineup. You take your chances with their other 8 hitters, and with the 9 of your own. Do you expect a high winning percentage?

It just occurred to me to look up Torii Hunter's current UZR for 2015. 

 

I just had this flashback to his 2014 -18.3 UZR heated discussion in the off season. 

 

It's currently 2.1 

 

Can we just adopt UZR as the best stat ever right now. 

 

That sounds like a qualitative assessment.

 

How should quantify it?

[DaveW]

This offense is sexy

[USAFChief]

 

That sounds like a qualitative assessment.

 

How should quantify it?

That Whooshing sound is a Portal reference flying over many many heads....

Polonco dumps one... Just past the middle finger

Pat Tabler. And I remember that night.

Jamie Quirk, right?

 

I'd click "like" on the original comment except I was one of many listening/watching that game. Heartbreaking.

Things I didn't expect to see in my lifetime:  intentionally walking Aaron Hicks to pitch to Mauer.

In fairness, no one expected the Chief's lifetime to reach the 21st century.

You're asking the wrong person.  Check with Mrs Jerr.

Good for Joe.
