    do you mean the other 12? :-)

    Defense isnt the only factor that effects the difference between FIP and ERA
  4. jimmer
    Good thing we know better than to judge defense by errors. Kepler has 3 DRS. He is not a detriment Out there.
  5. jimmer
    One more problem: Horrific defense.

    There were like 3 whole threads created for the sole purpose of slamming 'negative posters'. Maybe that'd be a good place to do that instead of hijacking a thread where Nick wrote some things about this team to discuss?
  7. jimmer
    but he still managed to boost his OPS by 140 points while playing in the minors?
  8. jimmer
    Well, he did quote the great philosopher, Obi-Wan (lines written by the well known writer of dialogue, George Lucas, to prove a point :-) Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Nietzsche and Obi Wan Kenobe.

    Yeah, Hughes had one outlier season and TR jumped all over it. His fall back to reality in 2015 was predictable. In fact it was predicted. And the Sano decision was horrible from the on-set and it failed for all the reasons given before he ever stepped foot out there for a game.

    I'm curious why everyone is rushing to say Park's problem in the majors was his injury. Did he not have the same injury while posting an OPS in the .820s in the minors?
  11. jimmer
    not only that, but your articles are most often very much on the optimistic side as well. So once in awhile, your articles are less than optimistic and you get slammed for it? Some people on here don't want to face reality.
  12. jimmer
    Um, er, ummmmmmm.

    I like to approach topics and ideas from a realistic point of view. Like to face it head on. Let's me enjoy the good baseball times even more when they arrive.
  14. jimmer
    Well, one of the realities is this: In four of the last five full seasons the Twins have lost at least 92 games. After a season off from that futility (at least record-wise), we are now looking at a very real possibility of finishing with triple digits losses. Is there any way my attitude and mind set will change that?

    Park was a bad idea for multiple reasons. Logjam at the spots he plays, Sano is moved to RF in part because of him joining the team, and of course his main problem: tons of strikeouts. It was his problem in Korea, his problem in the majors, and his problem in AAA. He managed to produce in spite of them in AAA and Korea (in other words, inferior talent).but against the best competition (MLB), he couldn't. It was an injury stopping him in the majors but he managed an OPS 140 points higher in AAA? Bad, bad call. And the dominoes fell.

    i would have prefered to have been greatly and overwhelmingly wrong :-)
  17. jimmer
    cant like this post enough
  18. jimmer
    I've always thought she was awesome. NOW, even MORE awesome!

    yeah, Suzuki did a 'Great' job of framing that. cause that's his strength....

    I had Duffey (on the linked thread) and Gibson on this one but I also said we didn't really have the kind of talent on this team where playing poorly would be considered a bust. 'I'm not sure that this team has the quality of players where one could have such high expectations they would be considered busts if they perform poorly. Sano has high expectations. Some have high expectations for Buxton for this year. Maybe Gibson? Hear a lot of people talking about him taking the next step.' Additionally, I didn't have Rosario as a bust candidate because, well, I didn't expect much from him based on the his BABIP and the triple boosting his slg%.

    Wasn't Tim Horton the first person to hear a Who? :-)
  22. jimmer
    At this point, I think it's more of a cover your behind thing. Enough have bought into it and if you do something away from the norm, and a player gets hurt, you have a lot of splainin to do :-)

    Right now, I have one poster that I use this function for. I don't use it for people I often disagree with because I like hearing opposing views. Only the truly ridiculous get put on the list and overall, this site's regular posters are very good, so that list is but one poster. Having said that, I'm sure I'm on many people's ignore list :-)
  24. jimmer
    Defense and overall baseball fundamentals may need looking into as well. Having a team so poor in even basic fundamentals on top of having the 2nd worse defense in baseball makes for some rough baseball to watch.

    I get giddy every time I see a Game Thread started by Riverbrian :-)
