    Nothing nothing 2nd inning. Twins seem to be mounting a maybe rally.

    I see in my crystal book a storybook ending to Torii Hunter's career. He bashes a 1.000 OPS in the last 3 weeks of the season. Bang, playoffs, boom, biff, bop.

    Speaking of White Sox (and Red Sox) ... why (I wonder) did none of the expansion teams - all hellbent for nostalgic ballparks, etc. - choose to name themselves the Green Sox (for example)? I have stayed up many a night worrying about this.

    Irreverence as well.

    Please, please change the title of this forum to - "allegedly, a week ago" - or even better, delete it.

    No Fryer, please. He can ... not ... hit. Hermann at least has the potential to hit.

    I read too much into your statement about Plouffe's worth, and I apologize. My response was merely meant to flesh out some statistics about his worth. I'll let others think of who he might be traded for. I personally have no clue.

    ESPN seems to confirm RJM96's fairly low opinion of Plouffe's value. He currently ranks 15th among MLB thirdbasemen in OPS (a highly-valued commodity among corner infielders) out of 22 players with enough plate appearances to qualify. In WAR he is ranked 16th. Defensively ESPN ranks his dWar as 16th in the league and his Range of Field at 4th best in the league. Fielding percentage 3rd best. (I have no idea how to evaluate the discrepancy between ranking 16th in dWAR but ranking 3rd and fourth in the other categories!) espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/position/3b/sort/OPS So, while it may appear that Plouffe has become an above-average defender, it is not clear that this is actually so. And his offensive numbers clearly are not the envy of GMs around the league. Perhaps his trade value will improve if packaged with one or two younger, more gifted players with high upsides. JUST SPECULATING FOR THE FUN OF IT, LAST I LOOKED.

    700+ posts clearly shows that we're interested in September baseball.

    I like how Jepson smiles after traumatic experiences. Good for him.
  12. ScrapTheNickname
    Let's see now.
  13. ScrapTheNickname
    I hope so.
  14. ScrapTheNickname
    Could be.

    The thing is, over the course of a game, about 25-50 pitches (I'm guessing) are called strikes that aren't strikes and vice versa. Unless they go to a computerized umpiring system everyone has 20-20 hindsight and it must be tough to be an ump.
  16. ScrapTheNickname
    He did make the play though.
  17. ScrapTheNickname
    KC announcers are blaming the ump for not calling the third strike. I'm starting to not like them. SANO - the man who is going to make himself famous!
  18. ScrapTheNickname
    I'm okay with that scenario.
  19. ScrapTheNickname
    KC fans seem like rookie fans. Can't blame them. All getting on board over the last couple of years. Everyone likes a winner. Nobody likes a loser.
  20. ScrapTheNickname
    Twins have holes here and there which make them a not great team and we know where the holes are but we can't do anything about the holes this year we hope next year the holes are stuffed full of better players.
  21. ScrapTheNickname
    I ... did ... that ... in ... high ... sch ... oo ... oool.

    That double play was http://www.strangetravel.com/images/content/122613.jpg HUGE

    I gave Matt Williams a ride in my cab one time. Nice guy. (Of course, wouldn't you know.)
  24. ScrapTheNickname
    3 for his last 35. I think that's an average below .300

    We can work on our plate discipline jokes for years to come if Rosario doesn't improve. Kind of like if Donald Trump is elected president.
