    And another entry in the Things Never Ever Said Before On The Internet Until It Was Said Here On Twins Daily file!

    Well Dick. We had our chance. No telling what happens if you break the tie in the 7th or 8th. But Suzuki needed to get a hit in the 9th for a certain win, and didn't.

    All things considered, I was having more fun outside than when I came back to the game. I was staining the deck. / go ahead, try to find something funny about that.

    He could answer your question, but wouldn't understand what he told you.

    Well Dick, nice route to the ball by Santana. Maybe he's a CF after all.
  7. ashbury
    Well Dick, welcome back to the Bigs, Lester.

    Brian will have to explain his 94 to me because I didn't get it, but mine meant exactly what you thought it meant.

    Fifty dollars, same as in town. / oops, punchline database is out of sync

    They killed Kenny, the bastards. Luckily we have a plurality of them.
  11. ashbury
    No, 66.

    Carnac: "Well Dick." Ed: Go on. You have some game analysis for us tonight? Carnac: Well Dick. The all-seeing eye has penetrated the envelope and informed me of the contents. Ed: Oh, we're doing that? OK. Hey. Yo. Carnac: May the fleas of Dick Trickle infest your race car. Ed:That sounds worse than it really was. Carnac: Hopefully the contents of the envelope will be similarly benign. Ed: We can hope. Open it, please. Carnac: "What do you call a detective who specializes in water investigation?"

    You frequently find Runs/Game numbers for teams and leagues, but I don't remember ever seeing the next step taken and publish the standard deviation of runs scored by teams. With 20 runs against the Twins the other day, I would think sigma for the Twins would be a bit high, indicating an offense you can't rely on as much as the mean would suggest.

    Maybe we should voluntarily separate into "Well Dick" and "Well Hawk" camps, and leave the actual analysis in the former camp per RB's proposal. I went back and changed mine.
  15. ashbury
    Well Hawk, I got nuthin tonight. Again.

    I suspect that this is in line with the research that shows that few pitchers can control the Batting Average on Balls In Play (in the long run most come close to the league average around .300), whereas some batters seem to be able to routinely achieve higher BABIP than other batters. Even though every run scored is a run given up, the jobs of batting and pitching are not precisely mirrors of each other.
  17. ashbury
    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    They don't have makeup games for the post season.

    Mute the TV and use the Twins Daily Game Thread to get the expert analysis.
  20. ashbury
    It's a close choice, but I'm rooting for the Twins to win tonight.

    Really nice insight, and something that incoming commissioner Manfred and MLBPA executive director Clark should discuss over dinner and a bottle of good wine sometime.
  22. ashbury
    I imagine he hears that a lot.

    Naming $15M as the highest possible strikes me as low, particularly on a 4-year deal. $16, $17? You never know what some pitching-hungry high-revenue GM might decide.

    I don't care much one way or the other whether assessing Aaron Hicks in September is meaningful. I care more about giving him additional experience with major league competition - even with Sept callups it's more representative than AAA. Another month of experience can hardly be a bad thing, can it? What else is he to do with his September, play videogames in his mancave? / disclaimer - I know nothing about the gentleman's home situation or his recreational preferences, it's just a metaphor

    I don't know what y-... oh, get your mind out of the gutter.
