    Sano striking out there isn't going to help my discussion with IndyTwinsFan.

    Batting Average with Runners on: 3rd Batting Average with runners in scoring position: 7th Batting Average with runners in scoring position with 2 outs: 5th Batting Average with the bases loaded: 28th (Perhaps this is where your gut feeling is)?

    I understand what you are saying. The Yankees are 25-7 against the Jays and Orioles. The Rays are 16-8 against the Jays and Orioles. The Twins are 22-9 against the White Sox, Tigers and Royals The Indians are 27-14 against the White Sox, Tigers and Royals. The Astros are 23-7 against the Rangers and Mariners The A's are 16-12 against the Rangers and Mariners The Braves are 9-8 against the Marlins The Dodgers are 18-8 against the Padres and Rockies. It would be nice... All teams wish what you wish.

    I posted a link for the actual stats in reply earlier. This time I'll do Runners in Scoring Position with two outs. http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/batting/split/1854

    The Twins started playing the Indians June 4th. Don't you think it would have been helpful if we got the Indians for 6 or 9 games in April and May? Timing matters... the ball bounces the wrong way sometimes and sometimes the right way. Were the Giants just hot during the hot streak or did they face a collection of teams that were cold. It's baseball. It's a moving target.

    Why is that different. Are you suggesting that familiarity breeds some sort of consistency?
  9. Riverbrian
    Because they were really bad for awhile but that doesn't mean that they didn't have good stretches of baseball where you were unfortunate to play them. You wouldn't have wanted to play the White Sox when they went 6-1 in May facing the Royals and Indians or when they went 5-1 in June against the Nats and Yankees. The Tigers had a nice run in April against Yankees and Indians. The Mets were nuts for awhile and have promptly cooled off. The Giants were dead... came back to life big time and are dead again. Teams were unfortunate to get the Mets when they were nuts and unfortunate to get the Giants when they came back to life. It's a moving target... The Orioles are capable of beating the Yankees on any night that Gleyber Torres isn't playing.
  10. Riverbrian
    Yeah but it is always a moving target. Below .500 teams are not always below .500 teams during the course of a season.
  11. Riverbrian
    Because Carole has ruined it with Shoes. I'm afraid to click on links now.
  12. Riverbrian
    POLANCO!!!
  13. Riverbrian
    The only thing that could be questioned was if catcher James McCann... Needed that Former Senator Larry Craig wide stance to field the ball. I say he didn't... Nor did Larry Craig.
  14. Riverbrian
    Well Yeah Doesn't everyone?

    MLB Rule 7.13 (2) Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score. If, in the judgment of the Umpire, the catcher without possession of the ball blocks the pathway of the runner, the Umpire shall call or signal the runner safe. Notwithstanding the above, it shall not be considered a violation of this Rule 7.13 if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in order to field a throw, and the Umpire determines that the catcher could not have fielded the ball without blocking the pathway of the runner and that contact with the runner was unavoidable.
  16. Riverbrian
    There is no purpose in the rule if you don't.

  18. Riverbrian
    Wouldn't that be the definition of Blocking the plate?
  19. Riverbrian
    That one is gone... along with the law of cause and effect and L.A. Law.
  20. Riverbrian
    Cool... He wasn't perfect on one of those pitches.
  21. Riverbrian
    I agree completely... He is average. His stats say so... The eye test says so. When you say he's not good it gives a different impression than average. The Astros depend on Aaron Sanchez and Brad Peacock with worse numbers. Gibson has better numbers than Tanaka, Happ, Paxton and Sabathia with the Yankees. I think the Twins should always search for better than average but the law of averages suggests that you will have average players on your roster and depend on them.
  22. Riverbrian
    Spend the rest of this game watching the catchers glove. And then watch where he catches the ball. Track it... See how often pitchers hit their target. Not just Gibson... Keep going with all pitchers. It's a myth that pitchers have the kind of pinpoint control you are demanding of Gibson.
  23. Riverbrian
    Maybe we are but clearly coming from different directions.
  24. Riverbrian
    Do you realize that there a handful of people reading this post that have probably watched over a thousand baseball games easy. And those handful of people all know for a fact that Bryce Harper does not send a 1st pitch fastball down the middle of the plate to the seats "every single time". Now Ryne Harper... Yes... He will punish every mistake pitch.
  25. Riverbrian
    You are right... He should know that but I'm willing to bet that he didn't try to do that and I'm also willing to bet that he has thrown a couple down the middle and gotten away with it.
