    How is this team now on pace to finish above .500
  2. jimmer
    Nunez is tied for 33rd in WAR for AL position players because defense counts too. How many position players originally make an All Star team (before all the injuries start knocking them out)? A player can be having a good season and still not be more worthy of an All Star spot than players who are more deserving that don't make it. Examples: Longoria. Tied for 10th in WAR, not on the All Star team.. Kyle Seager. 14th in WAR, not on All Star team. Kipnis (tied for 15th), Kinsler (tied for 15th), Correa (17th). Pedroia (18th). None on the All Star team. And if it's just about offense, Kinsler, Seager and Longoria (along with some other IFs not on the All Star team ) ahead of Nunez in wRC+.

    Mine do. We have family game nights. Current favorite: Catan.

    They need the new park to be able to be competitive :-)

    I watched the game yesterday

    I wish I could say the same. This kind of futility is just a bit too much. I expect young guys to struggle, sure, but he just strikes out way too much, and most of his PA he seems to have no chance at. No plan, nothing. This guy is supposed to be a super-stud according to everyone (Top 2 prospect 3 years in a row. Another year in top 20), but there's nothing on offense. He's doing worse this year than last.

    I took into account that Cain was hurt but also that his wRC+ is under 100. I am a big fan of Cain though.

    S: Perez 1B: Cabrera 2B: Altuve 3B: Donaldson SS: Lindor OF: Trout, Betts, Bradley Jr. DH: Ortiz

    I completely tore my ACL in my knee this year. I opted for rehab and to build up my hammy and quad just to avoid having to have the surgery that comes with so much pain and such a long re-hab. So yeah, I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly.
  10. jimmer
    Hughes old self wasn't 2014. It was an outlier. For Hughes, I hope the surgery goes well. I hope he's able to pitch again if that's what he wants to do.

    Wonder what our team OBP would be without his .367, considering he's second on the team? Our team is already 14th out of 15 (only 1 point above the As) with a team OBP 58 points lower than Mauer's. The Twins on the active 25 man roster with a higher wRC+ than Mauer: Grossman (give him a week or two). Nunez Dozier Unless we're taking into account his salary, he's probably not the guy you bench or release. Still a disappointing season for him, though, no doubt.
  12. jimmer
    He's a fine example of a truly valuable utility IF who doesn't disappoint if he has to play more than a utility guy would normally be called to do. A guy like that has value.
  13. jimmer
    Hmmm, my info says Grossman slash the last two weeks is: .167/.286/.215 (gives him a nice round number for his OPS: .500).
  14. jimmer
    Don't know. Not much.
  15. jimmer
    Well, in the interview with Pohlad, he said the organization believed the team would be better this year than last and that there was no flaw in that logic. So yeah, your last sentence applies.
  16. jimmer
    Nunez is going to get another contract from Ryan.
  17. jimmer
    For the love of God, let's never consider Yordano Ventura.
  18. jimmer
    I misread that the first time :-)

    Yeah, the announcers also said Milone failed to cover and you can't do that. They aren't the smartest group, for sure, but I watched it a few times and I wouldn't have charged an error either. And the official scorer also didn't give it an error. Ball was a rocket, surprised Mauer got glove on it. If a shortstop stops a ball that is rocketed t him, it rolls a wee bit, and and still has time to pick it up and throw a guy out and the 1B is picking his underwear out of his crack, that's not the shortstop's fault. Edit: Official scorer changed the decision and charged an error.
  20. jimmer
    Mauer's was not an error. The problem is, Milone didn't cover.
  21. jimmer
    we only have two, right?
  22. jimmer
    PFP!
  23. jimmer
    That's SOP.
  24. jimmer
    lots of fluff commentary today. It's thick.
  25. jimmer
    well, Roy says there's no doubt Kepler and Buxton are going to be good major league hitters. We can all rest easy now.
