    I'm reminded today of my good friend Jose, who I play a lot of golf with. I asked him one day if I could have his sand wedge and he gave me a ham and cheese.

    Cause he sat yesterday against a RHP. Duh.

    Continuing Snepp's excellent nickname game, might I suggest: Phil "Exit Velocity" Hughes.
  6. USAFChief
    that's debatable.

    I wonder if that's what it really means. Statcast is new, "exit velocity" is new, and I'm not sure we really understand what it all means yet. In Mauer's case, I wonder if it's more a lack of really softly hit balls. He rarely hits the ball real hard, but also gets a portion of the barrel on the ball a high percentage of the time, so he doesn't have many really softly hit balls to drag the average down. Few infield popups, few slow rollers. Lots of medium soft humpback liners to left, lots of fairly sharp 2 and 3 hoppers to 2nd. In bowling terms, he's the guy who averages 190 by almost always bowling somewhere between 180-200. He's not the guy who averages 190 by bowling 100, 190, 280. In any case, he's an argument that " average exit velocity" shouldn't be looked at in isolation as an indication of effectiveness. At a minimum launch angle plays a part, and I think eventually they'll be considering spin rate at well. In Mauer's case, the high average exit velocity has added up to .230/.295/.310. Woof. edit: or what taildragger said.

    "I said you got my number? He said yeah, I got it when you walked in the door." Still one of the best lines ever.

    Getting off to a 1-0 lead is so overrated.
  10. USAFChief
    everyone in Minnesota goes to South Dakota?
  11. USAFChief
    winnah. I had that cue'd up for like 15 minutes. I'd make some smart$$$$ remark about Tonkin, but tonight was just too much fun. Great job everyone. Top notch game thread.
  12. USAFChief
    I ain't gettin nowhere's near him with a knife in his hands, I can tell you that.
  13. USAFChief
    Only those that want to save big money.
  14. USAFChief
    what course do you usually play?
  15. USAFChief
    winner.
  16. USAFChief
    Yeah. Of course, Joey Bats waits until after he hits a HR to throw his, but yeah.
  17. USAFChief
    A Mauer HR and a Santana double in the same game. W. T. F?
  18. USAFChief
    Is this true? North? GCTF? Can we get some independent confirmation here?
  19. USAFChief
    haters gonna hate.
  20. USAFChief
    Mauer really tagged that'n too. Over the flower pots and completely into the first row.
  21. USAFChief
    Wowza.
  22. USAFChief
    No. It's EXACTLY like RB is full of it.
  23. USAFChief
    I went out and played hold em at one of the local casinos last Friday night and I went 0-162 on pots entered. Good times.
  24. USAFChief
    hopefully the poor guy didn't break a hip.
  25. USAFChief
    Yes, so far. Now if it all goes in the crapper we'll blame you, of course.
