    What does a canibal do after dumping his girlfriend?

    Not that the Twins need help or anything, but I'd be OK with Brantly being out for a while.

    Not that three runs isn't enough for Santana or anything, but I'd be OK with the Twins tacking on a few.

    Clank off Mauer's glove. 3-1 through 4.5. CBU.

    in play, run(s)!

    Not sure how many will get this, but You cannot have a Booker T and the MGs reference without the requisite Blues Brothers pic: http://bluesbrothersofficialsite.com/images/F64266425.jpg

    We make up for the difference in volumn.

    Next time, buy me an airplane ticket, a game ticket, hotel, and money for the beers, and I'll buy.

    I call shenanigans.

    I'll stop derailing threads about the use of WAR when others stop using it.

    His point is valid, if poorly worded. Getting on base is good, but not all OBP is created equally. Getting on base via a hit is more valuable than getting on base via a walk. Getting an extra base hit is more valuable than getting a single. These are not controversial ideas.

    Essentially the same except for 2011. The problem with writing everything off to concussion is the same as implying he's lazy...a lack of evidence. Your argument relies solely on coincidence. In fact, the available evidence (cleared to play by physicians, statements that he's symptom free, few days off this year) should indicate at least an open attitude towards the possibility that's not the issue.

    For the record Hunter: .712 OPS Mauer: .709 OPS I don't want Hunter back, but lets not pretend he has been a huge problem for the 2015 team.

    My crackpot theory: after the strip and TD return that got KS its only score, Kill decided the only way they lose is if the offense turns it over. So he punted trying to score, counting on the defense to pitch a shutout the rest of the way and win 10-7. Which worked, I guess, against Kent State, but doesn't say much good about what he thinks of his offense. And will be a tough way to win in the B1G.

    I don't think "hack job" is a fair assesment. BTW, of course we're talking about performance. And I don't really know what Mauer's performance issues can be attributed to. But i dont dismiss ideas out of hand simply because they're unflattering.

    It aint over till it's over. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

    One method of trying to win elections: get more citizens who agree with you to vote Another method: prevent citizens who disagree with you from voting Those are both methods of winning elections, but that is their only similarity.

    With apologies to 'Weezie, looks liked we're movin' on down.
  20. USAFChief
    Perhaps you should check Hrbek's stats at the same age Mauer is now. You might need another old fashioned. Then check Hrbek at 34, and compare THAT to Mauer now. You might need a double.

    //copied from another source// Play Selection by Down Against Kent St 1st Down: 23 runs, 3 passes (1 pass was play action) 2nd Down: 14 runs, 11 passes 3rd Down: 4 runs, 16 passes (1 run was a QB sneak on 3rd and 1 and the other 3 runs came on the last 3 3rd downs of the game when they were nursing the lead) My own add: zero screen passes. Zero jet sweeps. Zero misdirection plays or reverses. If there was a read option, I missed it. Leidner was bad, again, but the play calling might be worse. O line play looks bad, but it's tough to tell when every opponent knows what play is coming before you do.

    Are you also opposed to legalized alcohol? If not, you might want to consider the similarities between prohibition--a colossal failure that succeeded only in making honest people criminals, actual criminals rich, and many innocents dead or injured--and current marijuana laws. Marijuana use is no more damaging to society than alcohol, and the only logical response is to treat them similarly. Yet here we are, in 2015 for Pete's sake, still having this discussion. It's ridiculous, and I'm tired of seeing my tax dollars wasted on it, if nothing else. And I don't even use marijuana.

    Moderator note: in addition to Glunn's timely reminder to stay away from personal insults, I'm going to ask posters to please refrain from thread jacking by attacking the author rather than the substance. Discuss the points made, or don't post. It's unproductive to continually attack people instead of ideas, and leads to potentially interesting threads getting sidetracked into squabbles. That goes whether the author is from another site or publication, one of our owners or contributors, or just Joe Random Poster. Thank you.
