  1. Now Buxton is going to burn them.
  2. Morris makes me long to have Bert back. And that's saying something.
  3. I'd already give him more PAs than Dozier.
  4. Brainerd is an actual town in Minnesota, not a made up name. The TV show is awesome!
  5. still is having issues with good curves from left handed pitchers. The ones that end up at his shoe laces.
  6. I don't think it was really. He doesn't know how that wall plays and no way for him to know how high it would bounce.
  7. a lot of what happened in the movie Fargo was actually in Brainerd, if that's what you mean.
  8. Seems the time down in the minors helped Bux.
  9. He sure would have, IMO. Though the Nunez inside HR was an error, this one would have been legit.
  10. We'll definitely take it. Way to go Joe. That is the kind of pitch I'd like to see Joe pull for power.
  11. Jose Fernandez has struck out 44% of right handed batters he's faced. Major League average is 20%. So the Mets decided to load their lineup today with left handed hitters and switch hitters. He's struck out half the batters he's faced.
  12. Sano hasn't played 3B whenever Plouffe hasn't though. He's only played there 5 games this year. And having a guy play there a little bit, because he has some experience there, doesn't mean they think he could play there full time.
  13. Maybe the White Sox, they of the 6-17 record in the last 4 weeks or so, can trade for Howard so they can keep contending :-)
  14. The funny part is the part where the White Sox think they're actually contending. They made an April similar to our May last year. Doesn't make them contenders.
  15. Well, that was one reason. We also filled the spot in the lineup he's best suited, DH. Lest we forget, he was DH most of his time with the Twins last year, where he flourished. We also can't toss away the notion that the Twins didn't think he could play 3B at the MLB level (whether one agrees with that evaluation or not, it might have been a motivation). Though one wonders why they'd think he couldn't play a position he's played for awhile, while also believing he could play a position he had never played before and do so at the ML level with any kind of competency. Wasn't hard to see, well in advance and with no need of hindsight, to know how that would work out.
  16. FIP is the describer of what the pitcher actually did, what he had control over. The best way to see how the pitcher actually performed. Certainly better than taking into account the randomness of official scorer's decisions and team defense like ERA does.
  17. thanks. I must not get the channel.
  18. I fell asleep during that rain delay, woke up and they are showing fighting.
  19. what channel did they switch the game to?
