    how about the fact we've actually lost 12 straight regular season games?
  2. jimmer
    For me, there's way more areas of concern to conclude the front office has failed :-)
  3. jimmer
    It's a good thing I didn't imply that :-)

    No, I meant, did Torii's leadership only manifest itself in May of last year? Obviously he isn't on the team now, but that's not what I meant when I asked the question. As far as Dozier not being a leader because of his BA, Hunter was batting .154 after 8 games last year. Was he not a leader then? Was Hunter a leader in August of last year when he batted .130 for the month or when he batted .180 for the month of July. His April was ever so slightly above .200, maybe that's good enough, from a position that is offense focused like RF, to be a leader? What does one's BA need to be to be a leader?
  5. jimmer
    I don't imagine it would be much if any difference. Even with Torii's leadership, we started off horribly last year too. We had one great month which was attributed to Hunter and this bad start makes it easy to continue the narrative that it was all about Hunter. What about the rest of the year? Did his leadership vanish? How much did his horrible second half contribute to missing the playoffs?

    And there are a million examples of young players who got demoted after their less than stellar first taste of baseball and never came back and/or never became any kind of player to remember. There's only one Trout (who's start gets compared to Buxton), there's only one Randy Johnson (compared to Meyer) and so on.
  7. jimmer
    yeah, forget the booing. Only way to send a message is stop going to the games. That hurts the pocketbook.
  8. jimmer
    I don't know what's wrong with May so far.
  9. jimmer
    yeah it was a ridiculous decision, IMO
  10. jimmer
    same thing in this case.
  11. jimmer
    Why do I find it so unprofessional to see people on the TVv giving news with both of their hands firmly planted in their pockets. Looks so sloppy.
  12. jimmer
    no reason to be disappointed in THAT 'bunt'. It was a fly ball that went almost as far as when he swings all out.
  13. jimmer
    Bremer trying to rationalize that ridiculous decision to bunt.
  14. jimmer
    WHY are we bunting and WHY can't he bunt? Suzuki stinks.
  15. jimmer
    Have the lineups been announced yet?
  16. jimmer
    perhaps for people who have played outfield before and aren't 270 lb.

    Escobar was batting .444 going into today and he now has a .348 BA. Nunez has started one game and had a .000 BA going into today. Escobar is doing fine. Nunez will probably get the next three starts because of this one game.

    If Jepsen has to be our closer, we might as well truly give up on the season.

    Problem is, defense ties in with pitching, which is considered huge. A quality defense makes a bad rotation look a whole lot better or a bad defense can make a good rotation look worse than it is. Pitching has a symbiotic relationship with defense.
  20. jimmer
    Oh my goodness, seriously? Doesn't matter? This is the major leagues, not little league, softball, etc. Defense matters everywhere. Even in high school, the idea of your worst fielder playing RF is tossed out the window. Your best OF arms played RF, it wasn't where the worst player played. In the majors, LF or 1B has been where people have been 'hidden'. There's guys like Manny, Hanley, Delmon, Willingham, etc for LF and a huge line of people for 1B there's no point in even naming them. But again, this is the major leagues. A bad RF can burn/cost a team big time. Certainly doesn't hurt you any less than a bad LF or 1B. Might not matter as much as a poor catcher (which we have) or poor MIs, but the idea that RF is where you hide your worst players at higher levels of baseball is false.
  21. jimmer
    no worries, 20 or so wins in May again will cure all ;-)
  22. jimmer
    like I said earlier, 'worse plate discipline on the team facing the best reliever in baseball over the last three years.'
  23. jimmer
    this is getting old quickly. I know, it's only 4 games. How many games until it matters, again?
  24. jimmer
    worse plate discipline on the team facing the best reliever in baseball over the last three years.

    son of a gun!
