    The original post explores WPA. The thing about WPA is that it kind of breaks down as a useful stat in some cases. For example, a relief pitcher could throw 5 scoreless innings in a blowout, but if his team is 10 runs down in the 4th inning his WPA will be minuscule. Or, a reliever could get the last out in the top of the ninth of a tie game and if his team walks off in the bottom of the inning his WPA will be huge. I think there needs to be a stat which compares WPA in each situation to the best or worst possible WPA.

    Which is what I expect to happen.

    Is that something that can happen? I am under the impression that if he's claimed he's gone and we get only the waiver fee in return.

    The Twins have 60 games remaining against teams other than Cleveland; Cleveland has 61 games remaining against teams other than the Twins. If the two teams wind up with the same number of wins in those games then Cleveland would have to win 10 of the remaining 12 games between the two teams in order to finish ahead of the Twins.

    A ball with less drag will travel farther and faster whether thrown or batted. It will break less.

    I think a big problem with having the DH rule different from one league to the other is that teams construct their rosters based on how they play most of their games. To make it more fair I think the visiting team in each interleague series should be allowed one totally unrestricted roster move. Any player in the organization can replace any player on the 25-man. No 10-day limit upon return to the minors. No option used. No requirement for the player to be on the 40-man.

    Goose Island started life as an independent brewery but was bought out a few years ago.

    It is great. There are also several places with a wide selection of cans as well as smaller taps around the stadium.

    I liked this except for one small but significant thing. Goose Island is OK and all that, but they are a subsidiary of Annheuser-Busch. There are many very tasty local beers and ales available at Target Field and I always try to patronize the local brewmasters.

    I just checked the replay...The ball was sneaking out of the catcher's mitt and Garver's bat hit the ball on the follow-through of his swing and knocked it away. I don't know of any rule that covers that odd occurrence.

    Out at second but Yikes!
  17. Nine of twelve
    A lot of people say don't make any out at third base.

    This was what we have been hoping Trevor May could be. He has the stuff to be dominant if he can control his control.

    The Buxton baserunning play is one of those where if you do it you damn well better be safe. I think he was assuming the throw would go to home. If you're going to be aggressive this type of thing will happen from time to time. I think Rocco will be discussing this matter with Buck if he hasn't already.

    The batter is not out if the catcher does not catch and hold the pitch in the air except if there is a runner on first with less than two outs. The batter then has to be tagged or be called out on a force play at first base. If there are two outs and runner(s) on base said runner(s) would also be in play to be forced out at the next base they are advancing to. I have seen the play a few times where the bases are loaded with two outs and strike three is not caught in the air by the catcher, who then picks up the ball and steps on home plate to force the runner advancing from third to home. Edit: the batter is out if he leaves the area around home plate even if he is not otherwise put out.

    Rangers may want to challenge the ruling that the run scored, if that is reviewable.

    How many games has Gallo played in CF? (See yesterday's thread.)
  23. Nine of twelve
    There's no reason to do it now. We can do it if/when the need arises.

    I appreciate and enjoy your frequent dinger updates. I don't want to take anything away from the Twins' home run prowess, however I strongly believe that the baseballs being used this season are significantly contributing to our team's record-setting pace. I think MLB would benefit from switching to baseballs with more air resistance. We would still be leading the majors in dingers but I think the game would be better with fewer of them.

    I agree. The entire selection process is a joke, which makes the ASG itself a joke.
