    You highly mention Ryan (no shocker) and Falvey and don't mention Smith at all.

    You have the concussion, the shifts and the expanded strike zone. For me, it's obvious the concussion was the main issue. But baseball is a game of inches and the shifts and expanded called strike zone have been a contributing factor.

    Like I said, the #2 spot is where he belongs most of the time (which means, for me, when we have our regular lineup fully healthy and on the field). In the last month (28 days) he has played in 25 games, started 23, and is batting .402/.440/.539. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do next year with Molitor smartly continuing to make him take days off (to stay healthy). 125-130 starts is about right.

    This year, Mauer has batted 2nd more than any other spot in the lineup (sporting an OPS of .823). When batting 3rd, he has an OPS of .806. He certainly has no business batting cleanup. I think batting 2nd is where he should bat most of the time (which he has), though he is batting .321/.448/.425 with RISP.

    That and the fact that the strike zone the umpires have been calling steadily expanded in the last 6,7 years. For free swingers, it's no biggy. For players with exact eyes, having the called strike zone expand yearly after it being mostly the same your whole adult life can be a problem.

    The best thing about Hawkins is him hacking on Bremer. Other than that, he's pretty boring on TV announcing games (In real life, I'm sure he's very interesting). I'd like Morneau in the booth on a regular basis. When he did a couple innings, that was the best we've had in years.

    Can't let Cain continue his PA after strike three.

    Going into today. Royals had a -13 DRS. Twins were +19. And even if we look at UZR, Royals are NOT the best defensive team in AL as Bremer says. Royals are 4th in the AL in UZR, and tied for 9th in DRS, But, you know, fielding percentage.

    Bremer has been especially ridiculous today.
  10. jimmer
    wow.
  11. jimmer
    those conversations were going here earlier this year when people were saying that Santana deserved to start the AS game :-)
  12. jimmer
    There we go Escobar!
  13. jimmer
    he gave it to the man with the baby. That wasnt the main guy who interfered
  14. jimmer
    Now steal 2nd and 3rd.
  15. jimmer
    As predicted, Cleveland is running away with the division, but the Twins are playing very well and might very well take the #1 WC
  16. jimmer
    yup
  17. jimmer
    And the TF fans stop Mauer from making an out
  18. jimmer
    add the gold glove caliber fielding..
  19. jimmer
    Polanco!!!!
  20. jimmer
    Loving this kid!!!!!
  21. jimmer
    Buxton!!!!!!!!
  22. jimmer
    Um, yes, he's had plenty of hit since June. At least 27 of them :-) In fact his July slash was .250/.375/.325 (or a better stat line than June).
  23. jimmer
    I'm just glad the Twins FO didn't get Verlander.
  24. jimmer
    Mauer has a good 4-5 years left.
  25. jimmer
    In the 2000s, Morneau and Span were my favorite players more than Mauer or Nathan, but why pick just two. All four please :-)
