    Can definitely smell SOMEthing.....

    Did Vargas just high five Cabrera when Cabrera went around first?
  3. jimmer
    So much for Santiago pitching well.
  4. jimmer
    yes sir.
  5. jimmer
    lack of effort.
  6. jimmer
    He's pitching fine. Team isn't hitting or fielding.
  7. jimmer
    Defense matters....
  8. jimmer
    How did Buxton, with that cannon, not throw out Cabrera? Bad throw.
  9. jimmer
    our IF have issues with basic fundamentals.
  10. 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 :-)
  18. jimmer
    Unfortunately, it's the Twins that are on :-)

    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.

    Even crazier is that he just turned 25 last month and should already have four.
  21. jimmer
    He will, deservedly, be on some ballots, since they vote for 10 players. He should be on most (if not all) ballots, but less deserving players will find their way on there. Big Papi will likely be on every ballot.

    Yes, the narrative was a big thing. I mentioned narratives as a factor in voting earlier. This year we have the narratives of Altuve and Donaldson. Altuve: Little Man doing big things. We have the Donaldson narrative of how he could win back to back MVPs and he's doing even better this year.
  23. jimmer
    yup. I'm thinking there is no way he gets it.
  24. jimmer
    And Dawson got it because of HR. There were quite a few players who deserved it way more than he did. Don't know what the voters were thinking, really. If their idea was, 'We want to prove standings don't matter in our voting' why not pick Gwynn or the guy I would have picked, Dale Murphy.
