    I have zero issue with saying the worst FO in MLB is Dave Stewart and Co.

    Lat year,Rosario had an unsustainable amount of triples that inflated his slg% which inflated his OPS. he got on base less than 29% of the time. Not sure that showed us he could really be a good offensive corner OF in the majors. Getting on base so seldomly. along with all his mental mistakes in the field, is hard to swallow.

    defense is very bad, rotation is the worst in AL and offense is horrible.not only is it not happening this season, its going to be a few years at earliest.

    I'm genuinely interested in knowing if there are still people around who believe this is a well constructed 40 man roster. We need a new GM to lead us out of this mess.

    For the ERA stat fans: Our pitching staff is dead last in the AL for ERA, and #14 really isn't close. #14 sits at 4.62, we are at 5.17. Our cracker staff rotation that had so many ML quality pitchers that we couldn't put May in the rotation has an ERA of 5.55. Our relief staff that barely got help in the offseason has an ERA of 4.58. Are there still people who believe this is a well constructed 40 man roster? Oh, and GO TWINS!

    I drove the autobahn every day to and from work at a speed of 130-140 mph. No speed limit on that stretch.

    suuuuure.

    Or a reason not to watch.

    that's what our corner OFs do. certainly we've seen enough of that in RF (and to a lesser extent LF) this season to know that.

    It's ironic that the best team in the AL is playing the worst team in the AL this weekend while the best team in the NL is playing the worst team in the NL this weekend.

    Obviously, if I had the money, I'd wouldn't work, but since that isn't the case, other than about 4 years of my adult life, I had fun at work. Still do. If I had a job watching baseball, that would be a dream job that I would never tire of.

    Did that happen when he got hit?

    I think that rotation gets destroyed myself. Definitely wouldn't be happy with that. That's a rotation one settles on because that's what we do. It's going to be a few years before we have a rotation to be happy about. We just don't develop pitchers well.

    Phillies CF and LF have HORRIBLE arms. Sad that MLB outfielders have such noddles. I am reminded of Revere's throw home from short left center that 6 hopped to the plate trying to get speedster AJ Pierzinski who scored from 2B standing up (and laughing).

    Um, but, but, he was told he had a shot at the rotation. Remember? Why do you think he should have prepared for a relief role? Maybe he bought into the tall tale that he had a real shot at the rotation (like others did). Maybe he thought it wasn't possible the Twins would double down on the mistake of moving him to the pen to begin with.

    I'm guessing they will keep Nunez for next year, he'll go back to being what he's always been, and any trade value he may have built up will be gone.

    Hafner hanging out with Erstad and Rick Helling.

    I really need to remember to put smiley faces up after ever joke I make...

    Shannon Stewart?
  20. jimmer
    ok
  21. jimmer
    probably be a good idea to read why. it's why I posted the article.

    http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/how-los-angeles-angels-hooked-rookie-phenom-mike-trout-in-mlb-draft-051212 Well, Trout was highly regarded by a few teams...

    I'm sorry. I find it hilarious that Wright is being pulled.

    In 2016, one of the big reasons why Howard won MVP over Pujols was because he had 149 RBI and Pujols had 137. Howard hit .256/.426/.518 with RISP. Pujols hit .397/.535/..802 with RISP. So who performed better with RISP? The guy with more RBI or the guy with 12 less RBI? Could it be that the 53 more PA with RISP helped Howard get more RBI? Andruw jones almost won MVP when he led the league in RBI with a whopping 128. He batted .207/.335/.386 with RISP. Look at those numbers, but he led the league in RBI. Maybe having 230 PA with RISP helped. Boston leads the majors in OBP. They lead in OBP by a lot in the AL. Their players have way more opportunities for RBI due to having runners on a bunch. It's not that RBI is worthless, just as a standalone stat with no other info it doesn't really tell us whether or not the guy really does well with RISP or not. But Terry Ryan loves the RBI stat, so it must mean a lot.

    what is the fascination with playing Park over Mauer at 1B? Why do you purposely hurt your defense like that.
