    and doing a spectacular job of it....

    You forgot 3rd lowest line drive rate in the A.L., the wRC+ of a whopping 83, and the roughly 33% K rate :-). But, bright side, he is tied for 59th in the majors for HR. SO basically, the kind of offensive juggernaut you want for a DH who can't field well when he does play 1B. Heck, he's only days away from being 30, so he's got plenty of time.

    yeah, I missed the whole discussion of that. my bad
  4. jimmer
    not only that, but he plays a lot.
  5. jimmer
    Taking over what?

    Kind of makes me wonder who some people are watching when they see Santana as a defensive replacement for someone. Let's figure, for a moment, that the OF will eventually be Buxton, Kepler and Rosario (at least until he shows he's not starter material, which I think he's already done, but whatever). Who would Santana defensively replace? Which starter is he a better defender than? And he's very, very likely not going to come in for defensive replacement for anyone in the IF. And, really, we can't pretend he's a good pinch runner either. It's not just about speed. It's about smarts too. We also know stealing bases is not his thing, right? I mean he's tied for the league lead in caught stealing even though he's only made 17 attempts.

    just providing info, not trying to change anyone's thoughts of plot holes or time travel machines :-)

    Excerpt from 'A Storm of Swords': 'A Song of Ice and Fire is told through the eyes of characters who are sometimes hundreds or even thousands of miles apart from one another. Some chapters cover a day, some only an hour, others might span a fortnight, a month, a half year. With such a structure, the narrative cannot be strictly sequential, sometimes important things are happening simultaneously, a thousand leagues apart'

    Our regular DH has the 3rd lowest line drive % in the AL.

    Other than fielding, I look to just compare AL teams to AL team and NL teams to NL teams. 13th in runs per game in the AL (and then Oakland is one run below us in actual overall runs scored), so that could switch very quickly. We're 12th in OBP and SLG, and 13th in OPS. 14th in wRC+. I'm not feeling any better about the offense or the 29th best defense in baseball.

    If he was Robert's son she wouldn't have said to Ned 'If Robert finds out he'll kill him, you know he will. You have to protect him. Promise Ned, Promise me.'

    Hmmm, my info says Grossman slash the last two weeks is: .167/.286/.215 (gives him a nice round number for his OPS: .500).

    We have no idea how much time passed between when Varys left Mereen, had his visit in Dorne, and returned. We can't assume each part of each show is happening on the same timeline. They could be days or weeks apart even though they are in the same episode.

    I'll miss Margery because she's hot. Her smirk makes me feel kind of funny ;-)

    I didn't think Arya killing Walder Frey was out of the blue. He would have been extremely high on her list and with girls always serving him it was set up for him to go down. I expected it and was waiting for it.

    I liked that episode more than last episode. For me, it's one of my favorite episodes ever. Great season ender. Is it next year yet?
  18. jimmer
    Don't know. Not much.
  19. jimmer
    Well, in the interview with Pohlad, he said the organization believed the team would be better this year than last and that there was no flaw in that logic. So yeah, your last sentence applies.
  20. jimmer
    If you follow the conversation, we were talking defense. Nothing to do with the offense.
  21. jimmer
    yeah, the high heels were horrible. :-)

    I have done three plays by the master. 'Taming of the Shrew', as Lucentio. 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' as Oberon, and the lead in 'The Scottish Play.'

    Nunez is going to get another contract from Ryan.

    Coming from a person who is normally in Mauer's corner, Mauer is starting to get on my nerves.
  25. jimmer
    Just like when a stage actor/actress always calls a certain play 'The Scottish Play'. You don't call it by it's real name or all sorts of bad things happen :-)
