    nope, all your fault. Sinner :-)
  2. jimmer
    I like it!
  3. jimmer
    That would be quite something
  4. jimmer
    I'll just enjoy the wins when we get them
  5. jimmer
    I mis-read that :-)

    Been almost 2 years since we've seen this.

    It wasn't a missed hit and run, it was a caught stealing. Mauer isn't going to miss that sign.
  8. jimmer
    Well, we have this one in the bag.
  9. jimmer
    It's probably in the freezer.

    Dick says he doesn't know if that was a hit and run or not. He got thrown out there Richard. It wasn't a hit and run.
  11. jimmer
    When was the last time Mauer had a hit? Guess yesterday. I missed it.

    You know, on another thread, I thought I saw someone compare Nunez to Carlos Correa. I must have been seeing things.

    interesting read on that line drive. Took like an S route to the ball, but great effort and nice catch!

    I'm confused why this was addressed to me, I'm not advocating buying at the deadline. Almost everyone who is advocating roster changes are advocating selling (including me), and I think those people who want the team to be selling will be disappointed IF we were buyers, they'd also be disappointed because Ryan isn't exactly hard charging, go get guys when we need them for a push, kind of guy. 2007 was a good example of that.

    Me not taking into account fielding % and errors has nothing to do with selective ignoring. For one thing, we'll start with how subjective the whole 'what is and isn't an error' really is. A good example might be the play you are talking about. You think it was an error, scorer says no. How about the inside the park home run we had earlier this year where the ball bounced in and out of the outfielder's glove? Most might say that's an error, but it wasn't counted as such. And then lets ask what fielding % and errors tell us (even if the scorer decision was right every time). Does error and fielding % tell us how much range a player has? What about how good his routes to the ball are? How about how good his arm is? Or what about whether he hits the cutoff guy well or not? Ad so on and so on for OF. IF has some of the similar questions with a few added. So yeah, me not putting too much stock in error and fielding % to judge a person's defense isn't selective anything, it comes from plan old common sense. I have no issues believing Kiermaier (5 errors) and Pillar (2 errors) were probably the two best defensive CFs last year with Cain (10 errors) close behind. Those guys get to a ton of baseballs others only dream about getting to. P.S. And if one wants to take errors and fielding % as gospel to judge defense, then the Kepler play shouldn't be taken into account at all, since it wasn't an error.

    For consideration before voting: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/ben-revere-outfield-assist-alert/

    Which is good since we won't buy one or trade for one and seem to be incapable of developing one (apparently).

    Since some people still seem to be confused why the debate CAN be Santana or Arcia without it being a mess up of roster construction: Santana doesn't just play CF.He's plays corners too. And he's playing OF not IF. If Santana was gone instead of Arcia, all that would mean is that Buxton and Kepler would be 1-2 for CF with Arcia taking a corner spot when he played (or LH DH). So, instead of Buxton, Santana, Kepler and Grossman, it'd be Buxton, Arcia, Kepler and Grossman.Leaves two people who can play CF and 4 OF who can play corner (with Rosario eventually, who can also play all 3 spots) It's not that hard to figure out why people are asking why are we keeping Santana over Arcia. Especially since only one would be a good option for pinch hitting and that's not Santana.

    He's not anywhere near as good defensively as Punto was either.

    One day, Mauer is just going to go nuts on an umpire. I want to see him do it just once.
  21. jimmer
    For the love of God, let's never consider Yordano Ventura.
  22. jimmer
    Smalley saying Santana is very valuable. I threw up a little in my mouth.
  23. jimmer
    As far as I know, they ignored it completely., though I haven't watched every inning
  24. jimmer
    wow, these announcers just love them some Terry Ryan.
  25. jimmer
    as if.
