    yeah, as soon as he does it for 6 straight years... Since the break, Trout has a 168 wRC+ in 250 PAs, Buxton is at 154 with 182 PA. I love Buxton, but I refuse to put the pressure of living up to Trout's ability on Buxton. Trout could very well end up a top 5 position player ever when its all said and done.

    and then add the GG caliber defense he has provided.

    Of qualified SPs in baseball, Lester gets 6.07 runs of support per start. Gibson gets 6.15. 11-10 with an ERA over 5.00 (and a FIP close to 5 as well) His numbers look practically identical to last year. About as close to a mirror image as possible. Same amount of innings, same ERA, little higher FIP, practically the same K/9, BB/9 and WHIP. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=10123&position=P#standard Whiff of success? There's a whiff alright :-)

    Lets not forget they waited till the last minute to even make an offer to the the veteran Hunter. Hunter had mentioned he had tried to get something worked out before the season even happened. Nothing but crickets. They made an offer in August they knew he wouldnt take, especially after seeing what Gary Matthews Jr had just gotten. I imagine they knew some fans would turn on Hunter for leaving instead of the team for lowballing. And it worked.

    Twins arent scoring. And its Molitors fault ;-)

    Doug M was a low level manager. The POBO or GM doesn't need to be the one who fires him. Nothing cowardly about letting Stiel do it. It's who should have done it.

    yeah, we don't know if it's fair or not since there are different styles of leadership. I imagine Joe is more of a lead by example kind who doesn't crave or need attention on him all the time. Not every leader needs to lead by running his mouth off and getting in fights with teammates.

    The very telling statement from Lackey was him whining about being denied a win. The team won, but the me first Lackey complains about being denied a win himself. He cost himself a win by acting like a petulent child.

    Even though I am a big fan of Doug M (still have a jersey with his name on it), I agree with all of this.
  10. jimmer
    Yes, the umpire made a ball call, obviously, but the catcher was crossed up and he caught it with a downward motion making it look low. In any case, you HAVE to toss Lackey and Contreras out when they act like little children. Lackey has deserved to be tossed out so many times and hasn't that I was glad to see it this time.

    Great post!

    He's done pretty darn well against lefties, much better than against righties.
  13. jimmer
    I am a huge Parise fan. My favorite Wild player.
  14. jimmer
    me 2. he's the best defensive 1B I've seen in the AL this year.
  15. jimmer
    Better than Hrbek for sure, he's about even with Doug M. Doug M was a beast defender.

    and this isn't the first time the narrative has been written about how Gibson has changed and has now figured it all out.
  17. jimmer
    And Colorado, and the Dodgers And they have a winning record against all of them

    Plus it's Kluber.
  19. jimmer
    Kluber is a beast and one of the elite. If we ever get one, I hope Mollie gives him the same rope. In the meantime...
  20. jimmer
    8th in AL BA, 4th in AL OBP, .318 BA and .881 OPS w/RISP and GG defense.
  21. jimmer
    2 out RBIs for Mauer.

    There's a lot of traditional old school theories on how much playoff experience plays into a team's chances, how going into the playoffs 'hot' or 'cold 'plays into a team's chances, how a players' playoff history plays into how well he will do, and so on. And since we've been told that all our lives, it's got to be true. All of it scientifically proven ;-)

    We could also use FIP, though that wouldn't make it half his seasons, just 5 out of 12 :-) In any event, I always thought Radke was a top 30 pitcher in his time who wasn't considered one cause of the whole win/loss stat. Easily my 2nd favorite Twins starting pitcher of all time.

    fWAR

    We are getting a wild card.
