  1. 41 ABs. and a third he hasn't put the ball in play. He's not this bad, or this unlucky probably (with his wheels). Plenty of time to turn things around and win a batting title.
  2. .285 in the AL in 2015. Last year was .298 (AL). Why?
  3. Kluber might not be a CYA winner in 3 yaers but he'll age well I think, provided he stays healthy. All of his secondary offerings are amazing. Harvey's too. Fernandez is going to need to throw hard to be effective (and he should for a few more years, probably).
  4. The idea of an "ace" comes up every so often so before you go 15 rounds realize that everyone defines the term differently. If you asked 10 people you'd get 10 different answers as to who are the "aces" in baseball. Limiting walks is a big component of success and Hughes has been elite or near elite for many years. I do wish Hughes had a better swing and miss offering though.
  5. Man, I would say yes but only by defining "ace" as one of the top 30 starters in baseball. But he's not in the same league as Kluber or Salazar IMO.
  6. Yeah I noticed that too. Kinda funny that Hunter keeps missing cutoff men. On the other hand I think he put up probably the 3 best PAs against Salazar all day. Back to Arcia, I like his bat enough that I'd play him in the OF everyday, certainly against righties. But I don't share the optimism about his defensive abilities or lack thereof. He looks like he has two left feet to me.
  7. Arcia isn't fat but he wasn't blessed with the athleticism that say, a 24 year old Torii Hunter had. You can see it every time he hits the deck and bungles a shoestring opportunity like he did today (again), for example.
  8. Royals got the Ultate Outfield today. The Twins have... Keep the ball on the ground Gibsie!
  9. 7 games in, 6 games back. Of two teams. When's the time for action? How about today. Get a freaking win. Against a division rival, while fans still give a damn.
  10. So instead of booing him for being a liar, boo him for being an idiot.
  11. It was really on stark display yesterday. Not to pick on Ozzie but right after he derffed that catch in short left, Gordon had a similar opportunity on the first batter of the next half inning. Caught. And shortly after Hunter missed the fly ball in right field, Rios got a similar opportunity. Caught. And that's not even counting Dozier who seemed too concerned about scoring style points for some reason, or Santana who looked glitchy on just about every play. Robinson, Suzuki and Plouffe were the only ones that didn't goof at least one opportunity. (Unless I'm forgetting one)
  12. Fly ball to short left, Arcia slides and bounces off his glove in fair territory. Fly ball to deel left center, tough but catchable, Arcia misses. Fly ball to deep right, tough but catchable, Hunter doesn't catch then misses the cutoff man. Triple. Dribbler up the middle, Morales (or maybe Perez) running Dozier plays when he should have let Santana get it. Single. Double play ball hit to Dozier, backhand flips from about 45 feet, comes up short, forces Santana off the bag to catch, rushes his relay to 1B. One hopper Mauer can't handle. No out recorded, runners on 1b and 2b. I feel like I'm missing a dropped popup...
  13. In a nutshell Royals defense >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Twins defense.
  14. We all knew the Twins defense was going to be bad but this is pretty embarassing.
  15. Well said http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/PLQMZY/dirties.gif
  16. Whatever. Twins win!!! 1-3 baby!!!!1
  17. Eaton's a douche
  18. This is great. I don't even care that both teams are 0-3. Against the Whities, stealing insurance runs late, I'm loving this right now.
  19. Nice Torii... Good spot to steal.
  20. For whatever reason Molly wanted him to pitch yesterday in the 9-1 blowout or whatever it was. Ditto Fien.
  21. Just realized, what if those two paired up for a Fox Saturday game. It... would.. be... ****ing **** **** **** **** **** **** amazing.
  22. Wait is that supposed to be Hawk or Bert?
  23. YESSSSSSSSS MERCY!!!!1!1!!!!1
