  1. The way the offense is approaching plate appearances, zero runs allowed will be no different than 14 runs allowed.
  2. Odorizzi has struck out four guys in less than four innings. I’m not sure what you expect from the guy.
  3. Except he’s mostly doing his job while the fielders re-enact the Benny Hill intro around him. Odorizzi is limiting hard contact and missing bats. As a pitcher, that’s almost all he can do.
  4. I’ve also been in and out but haven’t seen anything that would qualify as hard hit.
  5. Yep. I wonder if the people criticizing Jake have bothered to look at the three ring circus happening around him.
  6. At this point, Odorizzi has to be asking why he even bothered to wake up this morning.
  7. Is that what happened? Polanco missed the effing bag? I was outside with a contractor in the top of the first and wondered how the hell a fielder's choice resulted in no outs. Crikey, Jorge, pull it together.
  8. Going into today, Cruz' OPS against the White Sox is 1.897. LOL
  9. Showing Cruz' stats like that and not including his OPS is a travesty. His OPS has to be close to 2.000 against the Sox.
  10. It depends how you view the question: contextual to the player's time or pure athleticism. Contextual to his time? Ruth, and it's not close. Best overall athlete? Trout, and it's not close. There is no wrong answer, only how you view the question.
  11. We're all impressed with Pineda, right? His ERA since the AS break is 3.07. Very good. But that's just five starts. Odorizzi has posted a 1.96 ERA over his past four starts since that Yankee implosion. I'm not knocking Pineda, thank god he's been good lately, but people are also bashing Odorizzi at the same time. I still want Odorizzi starting a game more than I want any other Twins starter not named Berrios (and he's on thin ice right now).
  12. While I appreciate the very well thought out and intelligent post, your point basically boils down to: Nelson Cruz has a lower wRC+ than Mike Trout, except Trout also plays one of the most important positions on the diamond very well.
  13. Oh, so I have to do this *again*. BEHOLD MY POWER
  14. Oy. Mauer was close to the leader in WAR that season and probably got a bump because he's a catcher and catchers aren't supposed to do what he did that season. Joe was within a single win of being the league leader, while also catching most of his games (pretty hard to complain about a catcher worth eight wins taking the MVP award). Meanwhile, Trout is on his merry way to a 10 win season (again) and we're talking about Cruz maybe crossing four wins. Totally the same argument. I do not understand why people refuse to accept that Mike Trout should win every MVP award until he stops being Mike Trout at the plate and on the field. He's literally the best baseball player that has ever stepped onto a diamond. Appreciate greatness when you see it, folks. It doesn't come along that often.
  15. Um, no. https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=10155&position=OF
  16. I haven't listened to a White Sox broadcast in about five years because I found Hawk so insufferable and just plain mean and awful.
  17. Yep, I remember hearing that kind of thing from Hawk all the time when I used to rotate through announcers on a regular basis (because I lived out of state and have had the MLB package most years since its introduction around 2001-2). He was an absolutely awful announcer, one of the worst I've ever heard (in competition with Rex Hudler).
  18. I didn't get to hear Herb often because I lived out of state but remember him fondly. And honestly, Bremer is in the same vein, just not as good. Hawk was something else entirely.
  19. Not even close. Hawk would disparage the other team constantly and only say positive things about the home team. Can you honestly say the same about Dick? And I'm not some big Bremer fan, but he's just kind of an old-school announcer who is neither great nor terrible.
  20. Holy ****, Sano. Ease up there a bit, buddy.
  21. I have to admit that I'm really enjoying watching the Twins put the Sox in their place. It's only one game, but it's fun as hell to watch.
