  1. It'll be interesting to see what the voters do if Miggy doesn't get the triple crown this year, but has superior numbers to last year. With Trout putting up similar numbers to last year, will Miggy still win it?
  2. Sierra almost looked like he lobbed that ball, and it was a bullet.
  3. I think Dickey is now 6th in innings pitched, and could be 3rd or 4th after tonight. He IS going reasonably deep.
  4. Well, Kawasaki and Goins at least appear to be capable of putting up positive WAR just on their defense alone, which is a big improvement over what we've seen with Izzy and Boni most of the year.
  5. I don't mind if we address pitching and catcher. Between him, Kawasaki, and Izzy someone is bound to take it and run (or at least not suck)
  6. Hmmm, so THAT's what it's like to actually have someone who can turn the dp. I kind of doubt Goins will keep the bat going, but I love him in the field.
  7. Doesn't help our tanking, but that was an absolutely outstanding at bat by Kawasaki
  8. Buehrle may very well finish the season with a mid to upper 3's era and xfip.
  9. You should include in your reminder posts who has submitted them and who you're missing them from.
  10. Well, maybe equal to what he did in the first half of his career.
  11. EE is one of only 4 qualified players this year with more walks than strikouts. The others are Scutaro, Aoki, and Callaspo, none of which are power guys.
  12. Put his head on Gose's body and we'd probably have Rickey Henderson with a little better d.
  13. Loving Bautista taking a page out of Pedro's book on having fun with fans.
  14. I seriously doubt anyone did. Most people probably picked Lind
  15. If things break our way, we could be in line for the 5th pick after tonight.
  16. The Brewers are winning, we might gain another spot tonight!
  17. Oliver may very well have requested to stay here (I'm assuming unless it was back to Texas). As for Davis, if we don't plan to re-sign him again then I agree it's stupid not to move him, especially with all the injuries teams have right now (although perhaps he was claimed by a team trying to block someone else and offered nothing).
  18. Even worse, to do it right you have know the trajectory of the ball and the placement of the fielder before it was hit (and this is information we won't get until the introduction of fieldfx).
  19. I don't consider an apology delivered via a 3rd party to be legit. At least it's a start though.
  20. Is it due to ball movement? If so, it could be both!
  21. Stats like xFIP aren't really designed to suggest how well the pitcher has pitched for a particular team, stadium, or league. They're designed to attempt to place all pitchers on a level playing field (by only taking into account data that the pitcher has somewhat direct control over) and evaluate how well each would have performed relative to each other if they faced the exact same batters, in the exact same parks and leagues, and with the same defense behind them. We can't use xFIP to tell us what Dickey's numbers SHOULD look like this year pitching for us. To do so is a misapplication of the statistic. You would have to take something like xFIP as a base and scale it based on the ratios for the teams he's faced along with park factors and team defense factors or something.
  22. Which probably means we'll blow them out (if the game gets played)
