    I'll wait until these guys actually succeed with some kind of consistency before I label it a success.

    Baseball is different from football and basketball. It's mostly just a bunch of individual battles. Pitcher against batter, batter against pitcher, defender with the ball, etc. Yeah, some teamwork is involved out there, but not to the degree of football and basketball. A guy like Jordan could make the other 4 on the court look better, but one guy on a 25 man roster isn't going to make other players better on the team. The best position player in baseball can't make his pitchers pitch well or other players hit or field well and a great pitcher can't make his team hit better. It really is a tired narrative in baseball.

    Unfortunately, that offense we are so proud of are the same guys playing the 2nd worst defense in the majors. The interim GM said he wants May to compete for a spot in the rotation next year. Kind of like he supposedly did this spring training. And Gibson....oh boy...

    Did Vargas just high five Cabrera when Cabrera went around first?
  7. jimmer
    So much for Santiago pitching well.

    Well, good thing for the White Sox they got to play us so much this year or they could be looking at 90 or more losses by the end of the season (though not likely). Shields turned out to be horrible (with his FIP being even worse than his 5.84 ERA going into today where he gave up 6 more earned runs) and the White Sox will end up in 4th place. One winning month, April.

    yes sir.
  10. jimmer
    lack of effort.
  11. jimmer
    He's pitching fine. Team isn't hitting or fielding.
  12. jimmer
    Defense matters....
  13. jimmer
    How did Buxton, with that cannon, not throw out Cabrera? Bad throw.
  14. jimmer
    our IF have issues with basic fundamentals.
  15. jimmer
    nice throw!

    Come on now, Mauer lead the league in BA/OBP/SLG% and when he did that, he was the first player to do that in 30 years. He also had a league leading wRC+ of 170. And he did it as a catcher.

    Just have some Absinthe and get it over with.

    I still can't drink Whiskey. Been 31 years.

    I see what you did there.....sinner...:-)

    My first 'real' regular drink. Then I went to screwdriver, then rum and coke.

    Santiago has done well lately.

    Everyone knows, it's Long Islands that are the best :-)
  23. jimmer
    Unfortunately, it's the Twins that are on :-)
  24. jimmer
    or just over the top sarcastic.

    Most stats have flaws either by how they are made or the conclusions drawn from them. It's about finding the best stats available. But since you brought it up, in one of the two years Cabrera won MVP over Trout, Trout actually had the better wRC+ as well. So, excluding defense altogether (and without taking into account positions at all), Trout was still better.
