    Well, there's a "strikeout problem" and then there's "you're striking out in 60% of your plate appearances and not even leading the team in the stat, how's that even possible?"
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    IMA GONNA BAN U ALL
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I know. Just throwing it back at ya.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Alright, where's that damned ban button?
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Sure, it's been ugly... But most rational people thought that was a possibility going into the season. It was unlikely the guy was going to immediately thrive against vastly superior competition. He may need some time in Rochester.

    Okay, drop the Park talk. It's boring and annoying. The guy worked a good PA and then fouled out. It happens. At least it wasn't a damned strike out.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Hey, they backed into a run! Twins Baseball!
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    So over half this thread is ready to kick Park out the door based on less than 25 PAs. Step off the ledge, people.

    I'm a bit surprised Eddie didn't swing there. The pitch was below the top of his helmet.

    AN EXTRA BASE HIT WITH A MAN ON BASE AM I DREAMING
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Why am I even subjecting myself to this? Is there something wrong with me?
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Holy moly.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    I *hate* the use of the AB stat.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    And of course Buxton hit that right at a fielder.

    You'll get no arguments from me. In 2014 while watching the Royals, I thought... "Damn, this feels a lot like watching the 2000s Twins. I miss that kind of baseball and I think it can succeed." Well, it succeeded. While I think a team can be built on power bats and strikeouts and succeed, give me a contact-happy team with moderate power and good defense any day of the week. It's just my opinion but I think that team is less prone to slumps like the one we're seeing now (where the Twins basically played their opponent straight-up four games in a row but lost every game because if you swing and miss a lot, chances are you'll have streaks where you swing and miss a lot while runners stand on base).

    While I agree RF defense matters and you'd embarrass yourself, you are not Miguel Sano. He's a big man but he's an athletic big man.* *this is not a defense of putting Sano in RF, I'm simply withholding outrage until he gets more experience** **the entire way this was handled was insane... If Sano was going to be an outfielder, it should have started in Fall League play*** ***no more points, just wanted to use three asterisks

    Hey Seth, this has been a common problem for Stewart since he was drafted. Do you blame his velocity issues entirely on bad mechanics or do you think Stewart's diabetes plays a role? Is it possible he simply gets worn out during some starts and can't really "bring it"? Though, obviously, that doesn't explain the inning-by-inning velocity problem... At least not to my satisfaction.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Damn, Dozier. Nice PA.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    One of the most beautiful plays in baseball is the LOOGY five pitch walk.

    I lived in Long Beach for a long time and had to listen to that ape during every Angels broadcast. My dislike of Hudler knows no bounds.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    *scatches head* Um... Yes? No. That defies logic.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep, the very same Eduardo Nunez with a .648 OPS against LHP last season and a career .686 mark against southpaws. I may have pinch-hit for Suzuki in that situation but I certainly can't get too worked up that Molitor didn't sub him out for an equally mediocre bat against southpaws. And you could argue that with a guy on second, Suzuki was more likely to get on base and continue the inning than Nunez. His career OBP against lefties is .025 higher than Nunez.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    True, the implication was that Buxton has enough bat speed and strength to take care of the rest. He hasn't really shown it against MLB pitching but his MiLB XBH numbers were so good that it's hard to imagine he won't come around in time if his plate approach is solid. And given his pitch recognition problems last season, I applaud a pitch-happy approach, even if he takes the occasional meatball down the middle of the plate.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Buxton taking pitches is far more important to me than whether the wood of the bat hits ball. Take a lot of pitches, be a selective hitter, and he will be a successful MLB player.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Only because the other guys were injured for an entire season or something close to it. When healthy, both Buxton and Sano posted numbers far exceeding anything ABW has done in MiLB. I do not understand the fascination with ABW. Some people act as if he's a Golden God when his best OPS came in A ball and didn't even crack .850 (.844). And his MiLB OBP of .311 is "ick" territory. Buxton has a career MiLB OPS of .872 and Sano is at .937.
