  1. Garver went from being MLB's worst defensive catcher and hitting for little power last season to an absolute monster at the plate and now about-average defensively... what an absolute stud. I love this guy!
  2. Thorpe just gave my Strat-O-Matic team a 1-2-3 5th inning, and now here comes the rookie in the actual game in the same inning. Let's go Thorpedo!
  3. Strat-O-Matic update: Yankees are up 8-4, Voit hit a 3 run HR and Judge had a 2 RBI double. It is only the 4th inning and I'm onto the bullpen already!
  4. Sabathia looks cooked, I'm shocked they've let him go this long. Hopefully we can trash their bullpen as well so they will be tired for the rest of the series.
  5. My strat-o-matic simulation of this game is currently tied at 3-3... after a single inning. It looks like this game is going to be a bloodbath in the simulation and in real life.
  6. 5-10 years ago fans would accuse a guy like him of juicing, now it's just launch angle and juiced balls.
  7. I'll take that from Eddie, we need more productive outs. Now... let's see a big Sano hit!
  8. And many of us used to talk about how Target Field was a pitcher-friendly field its first few years... much harder to hit a ball out in RF than in Yankee Stadium.
  9. Well well... that might be the first triple play I've ever seen. Take that, Yanks!
  10. The only guy I'm not afraid of in that lineup is Mike Tauchman... though to be fair, there aren't any truly easy outs in the Twins lineup, maybe outside of Schoop. It's one heck of a lineup even with their promising rookie, Clint Frazier at AAA, who's got a great .840 OPS in the majors. Also, I'm going to be doing another Strat-O-Matic game alongside this one. I wonder how many runs I'm going to see cross the plate...
  11. I believe my source was Skor North, here is the tidbit: I might have read into that too much, I assumed he would miss more time, but going back the article appears to just be talking about Sunday. So there's a decent chance I'm wrong here.
  12. I was hearing that Buxton was going to need more time. I would guess he’s activated in August, but I am just recklessly speculating.
  13. Here’s hoping Cron can recover from the thumb ailment. Has anyone else found it odd how healthy our pitching staff has been compared to the hitters?
  14. I would make the Giles and Martin trades, but not the Smith one. I don't like trading Rooker away for 2 months of a reliever, especially with him being so close to the big leagues. I am fine trading Javier away since he's a guy who may need to be a 40 man add and won't be a factor for a few years.
  15. He averaged 90.9 MPH as a starter for the Twins. There was really no way to see this coming. I think he was around 97 MPH last year with the A's.
  16. Littell pitched 11 straight scoreless innings before giving up those two HRs tonight...
  17. I worded my statement to also be understood as "they won't be winning game in October because they won't be there". I am still confident we will be able to beat the Indians for the division - we have tons of games left against them and the rest of the crappy AL Central. It's just... I'm expecting a quick exit in October barring a major resurgence in August/September.
  18. Another 0 for 6 game for RISP, hitters are only good for solo HRs. Bullpen blows two different leads. This team just doesn't look good. We certainly won't be winning any games in October playing like this. (Ironically, Schoop, the guy who's been ragged on for choking in clutch situations, did exactly what he needed to tonight - a big sac fly and a double against the A's best pitcher. But of course the team finds away to squander his efforts!)
  19. That was one heck of an AB from Kepler. Let's get that lead now!
  20. Perhaps they only wanted to have him face 3 hitters? Maybe they didn't want him to face Olsen and Canha?
  21. I was in the middle of explaining to my dad that Littell was doing really well as a reliever and he gave up the two run homer... that put a bit of a dent in my argument. A pretty huge dent.
  22. That's 5 innings of no-hit baseball from Brett Anderson since the 1st inning... not good, boys. We gotta find a spot to pinch hit Rosario to get us a boost!
  23. Boy, the Twins have been grounding into double plays left and right the past few weeks. It's getting real annoying!
  24. I would have Jose go 110+ pitches if needed. I think he can handle it, and he's the type of guy that can go past the 100 pitch barrier and not be too concerned. Also, Brett Anderson is at just 58 pitches so far!
  25. Boy, these A's hitters are sure good at fouling off pitches. Seems like all of them are taking professional ABs.
