    David DeJesus is another one of those nondescript guys who seems to glide through a career, making his next paycheck solely on what he does against the Twins.

    Put your arms through the sleave holes, then give it a try.

    Cut him some slack, he's a rook. He'll learn.
  4. USAFChief
    Left field insurance?

    I hear lead pipes fetch a pretty penny in Michigan.

    I was watching MLB Network tonight and they cut live to the Houston Toronto game. Runner on first, Encarnacion at the plate, Houston in a full shift with the second baseman just to the left of the bag, maybe 15 feet from it. Reynolds says something about "they shouldn't be shifting here because the second baseman can't make the turn on a DP ball." Some scoffing and disagreement, Reynolds sticks to his guns. And wouldn't you know it...ground ball to short. Altuve literally takes 4 steps, gets an easy flip from the SS, and doubles up Encarnacion by three steps. It was some of the greatest live TV ever...as Reynolds sticks to his guns and doubles down on stupid, only now he changed to "it's too dangerous to take the throw while moving toward first base." I guess he never watched the SS's he played with all those years.

    As to Safeco, to me it felt like a giant airplane hanger, like other roofed stadiums I've been to. I was disappointed. YMMV, of course.

    2-4, vsTwins, natch.

    Looked to me like Gant was pushing poor Hrbek off first.

    I'm at 19 ballparks, will knock Fenwway off the list in June. My top 3: 1. Camden Yards. 2. AT&T 3. Target Field Honorable mention: Coors Field, the Big A Least favorite: Metrodome, Wrigley, Safeco, Chase Field, whatever they call that thing in Oakland Although to be fair, least favorite is something of a misnomer. I'd go back to all of them.

    so if I understand correctly, don't use small sample sizes because they are innacurate. But if we add up a whole bunch of innacurate data sets, we get an accurate one. I'm still skeptical. And by the way, people are doing exactly that in this tbread.

    shouldn't you be telling that to thosE citing 2015 DRS? I'm OK with NEVER citing them, if those are the rules.

    I used to have visions of Mauer being something like Miguel Cabrera. Sigh...
  14. USAFChief
    what's his 2015 UZR? Or am I not doing it properly?
  15. USAFChief
    kinda like different defensive metrics then.
  16. USAFChief
    huh??!?
  17. USAFChief
    actually, he hasn't looked bad at all.
  18. USAFChief
    Plouffe was a good enough infielder to stay at SS through the minors. It's really not all that surprising that he turn into a competent third baseman.
  19. USAFChief
    Nice work, the both of ya's!
  20. USAFChief
    To say the least, 'twas an improbable story, Of the 40-year old outfielder Torii. Who's mentorin' ways, Had seen better days, But who's return helped restore temp'rary glory.
  21. USAFChief
    I'd rather he has a 3.86 ERA from here on out. If he's 3-1, I don't much care what his ERA was. You make the postseason on actual wins and losses, not what should have happened.
  22. USAFChief
    Is that still EDT, though?
  23. USAFChief
    Probably funny, but I'm not smart enough to know. Can't like.
  24. USAFChief
    Winnah!
  25. USAFChief
    Funny, until you forgot to take out the last "e". Can't like.
