    Trout crushed Donaldson in wRC+ (172 to 154), 0.2 higher WAR, higher wOBA, OBP & SLG. Trout was a better hitter (by quite a bit) and overall player (by a slim margin) than Donaldson this year. He loses out on 2 stats which are highly dependant on his team and his hitting environment (note Trout and Donaldson hit .352 and .353 with RISP this year - so Donaldson doesn't get more RBI's by being "clutch"). That said - I think Donaldson will win because voters are swayed by things like counting stats and team success.....that is unless the voters decide Trout can't finish 2nd in the MVP voting for a 3rd time (which is stupid, but some are suggesting it).

    I don't understand why people keep talking about HFA and not about the advantage of facing the WC team that can't throw it's best pitcher twice in the series. It's not about HFA - which we may have throughout the playoffs if the WC team takes down the Royals anyway...

    +1 - are you making a trip out of it? Spending 4-5 days touring some cities? I love City trips. Either way - I love the effort and support!

    ah - I get it...nah just a good friend.

    Huh?

    Just got offered a ticket to either next Thursday's or Friday's game. Prego wife has to go to Mt. Sinai Friday morning and has to leave early to get there. Do I: A) go Thursday, stay over night and go to appointment with her...in which case we'd have to get mother in law to sleep over Thursday and take kids to school in the AM...and I'd miss 1.5 days of work (need to work weekend to make it up) go Friday so I can take kids to school Friday AM (avoiding the MIL) and only miss 0.5 days of work. Option A is a lot more effort although wife may appreciate me coming to the appointmeant...is it worth it to see the first playoff game in 22 years? Or is Game 2 going to be just as good with the Stroshow on the bump???

    Curious why they'd put E5 at 1st and DH Cola.

    Did anyone hear Barker and Jeff Blair trying to rate Sanchez's 4 pitches today? It was gold Jerry, gold. Their individual rankings didn't even include the same pitches - and neither had his 4 pitches correct. Jeff went with sinker, cutter, curveball and fastball Barker went with sinker, cutter, slider and breaking ball

    The difference is nobody here is suggesting he play the starters for "fantasy" reasons...

    This isn't really true. There are plenty of everyday people who mail it in on a daily basis and still get paid. His poor performance this year will cost him money next year (just like it should in most professions). The key is to join a union....the majority of them mail it in and get raised despite their poor performance!

    How much does Hutch hate life right now? Opening day starter for the best team in the AL - and there's a 0% chance he's ever on the playoff roster. That's gotta suck man. If the Jays win the WS - does Hutch "feel" like a champion?
  12. Brownie19
    Because that happened once? I think the last time something like this happened was in like 1983. It would be a gross overreaction to change the format based on this year.
  13. Brownie19
    Exactly. Another factor is the ALDS is only a 5 game series. An inferior team is more likely to get lucky and win in a 5 game series than they are in a 7 game series. I'll take the WC team without their ace until Game 3 in the ALDS everyday of the week.
  14. Brownie19
    Technically, this is true. However, the big factor you're missing is 1st in the AL plays the winner of the wild card, instead of playing Texas. I think that's a HUGE difference.
  15. Brownie19
    That's pretty awesome man. Get that baby in a frame!
  16. Brownie19
    +1 - how on earth don't people see the reason they need to push for 1st in the AL East?
  17. Brownie19
    He looks like a Sergio Romo clone to me. Romo's slider only averages 78 MPH - which is about what this guys throwing that frisbee at...
  18. Brownie19
    127 km/h!

    Keep in mind that at the beginning of his tenure, AA had a limited budget to work with, which may explain why he elected to take on players with character flaws - as there was perceived value there. There's obviously also a chance he undervalued strong leadership and team chemistry and has adjusted accordingly. There is no answer to this people; however, IMO, talent wins and winning creates good chemistry.

    I love me some Stephen Brunt. Best guy on TV/Radio in a landslide.
  21. Brownie19
    TIME - why isn't Jeff Blair on the list??????
  22. Brownie19
    The view from TV is better than any seat in the house if you want to "watch" the game. It's all about the atmosphere when you go to the game and I can guarantee you won't be disappointed for Game 1 of the ALDS. Don't overthink this one man...
  23. Brownie19
    I don't mind giving Donaldson essentially 2 days off in a row. We need him to bring the rain the playoffs with fresh legs.
  24. Brownie19
    Dude - Buehrle was the BOSS in June/July...you're 1 for 2 there my friend.
  25. Brownie19
    He'll likely be non-tendered now. A good reminder that bullpen pitchers are volatile.
