    Gameday is still frozen on 2 strikes to Peralta. I watched 8 innings of this game, but needed to get my daughter to sleep and was happy to rely on gameday to help me out. Guess not

    Whoever is entering the data for online play by play was drunk in the bottom of the 8th and pretty sure passed out when Peralta got 2 strikes on him.

    NEVER swing at the first pitch after Molina visits the mound. He's gotten like 7 outs on 5 mound visits in the 2.5 games
  4. Whammy
    And now a double play ball that was 2" foul

    6-0 twins. 2 hit complete game from Milone

    A question that I have forgotten to ask until now... How is it that it takes 2 days for a multi-multi million dollar company (Twins) to get their super prospect (Buxton) his personal equipment. He wore Plouffe's cleats and used Suzuki's bats. How is that possible?

    Depends on what Gonsalves and Hu do for the rest of the year after their promotion and hopefully upcoming promotion.

    No info on the Cardinals Twitter

    #VoteSTL ‏@Cardinals 5s5 seconds ago Today's game is set to resume at 1:45 p.m. Central Time, weather permitting.

    I'm thinking it has to be quick. I think this little cell popped up over them and surprised them, otherwise I can't see them starting the game with the thought that it might get delayed in the first inning. That's pretty unfair to the teams and pitchers. There is spotty rain behind it, but if they're getting this game in today, it has to be relatively soon. They know this.

    It's actually kind of painful to listen to. He's definitely not polished at being interviewed, but whom among us can say that we were, at 21.

    Here's the podcast: http://www.iheart.com/show/139-Paul-Allen-KFAN-FM-1003/?episode_id=27263096 Buxton segment starts at about 68:30

    I won't begrudge you that

    About 5 minutes ago I was about to post, "this feels like last year... Not as bad as the first week of the season, when we looked foolish on defense, but still bad" I stand corrected we are starting to look foolish on defense.

    You mean other than the never-ending ads that automatically start and have audio? Other than that, nope. I understand the need for ads, but I'd be curious to know how much they make annually from ads and if we could strike up a collection (like kickstarter) to eliminate the ads. So annoying.

    It's been frustrating to be completely inept of late, at the plate. So this KC series has sucked, but the Milwaukee series was almost more frustrating because we were giving up early leads, but then coming back later to tie the game, only to give the lead back up.

    Man, Perez can frame his a$$ off.

    Hosmer needs a freaking haircut
  19. Whammy
    I'm giving him a little benefit of the doubt based on a quality 2014
  20. Whammy
    sorry... Double post
  21. Whammy
    Regarding catcher... I either want an offense first catcher who isn't going to lose you games behind the plate, or just a defensive wizard back there who hits 9th and probably flirts with the Mendoza line. We are in this squishy below average, to downright bad, middle ground (with no real path out) that is pretty infuriating.
  22. Whammy
    Can Vargas catch? How's his pitch framing?
  23. Whammy
    342 is higher than average, but I'm not sure a regression to the mean will affect his numbers all that much since he doesn't, you know, put that many balls in play. Very close to half of his AB end up with the ball not in play.
  24. Whammy
    The 2014 thing was a coincidence... I subtracted off his HR from his hits, but forgot to from his AB.

    I agree it's not perfect. I was hoping for some better splits data in terms of what he does in certain counts. They've got data for ahead vs behind in counts, which doesn't really give me what I'm looking for (since 3 and 2 is "ahead" in the count) I don't think you want to take this data to Walker and be like "see, just take the ball the other way, get some slap singles, and you're a major league all star." You don't want to really reign him in, except for maybe when he gets to 2 strikes. At the end of the day he's a run producing machine. The saberheads will tell me that's a teammate dependent measurement, which I agree with to a point, but there must be some "IT" that he has since he leads every league he plays in in RBI. He's playing with an all star team right now, but that hasn't really been the case the last 3 years. He was moved up in the lineup recently from 7th to 4th/5th. It will be interesting to see how that changes his approach and numbers, now that he has the protection of the 5th/6th hitters behind him. He certainly has been mashing since the move up, but we are still definitely in "small sample size" territory at this point.
