May 6, 201412 yr As of today: Santana no longer an MLB SS virgin. Note that this is more a case of topology than statistics. Binary numbers are still numbers. His have I/have I not zero will change to a one.
May 7, 201412 yr I was thinking more along the lines of Schroedinger's Cat. If the cat's alive to read the box scores in the morning paper, we find out whether Santana's a SS or not. If the cat's dead, there's just no knowing.
May 8, 201412 yr Danny Santana's average is four times higher than Florimon's: .444 vs .109** **-sample size
May 8, 201412 yr The Rockies are hitting 355/401/600 (OPS 1.001) at Coors Field this season Morneau, despite his hot start, is actually dragging the team down in this regard --only a .987 OPS at Coors! (Still a respectable .879 on the road so far, though -- which is basically his career mark pre-concussion...)
May 8, 201412 yr I might buy a lottery ticket based on all of this.....I think the Twins are actually part of an international spy ring, or aliens are controlling them to send us messages. What could the code base be that relies on the numbers 8, 3, 3, and 1?
May 15, 201412 yr LaVelle E. Neal III @LaVelleNeal 9m By the way, Twins now have 4,223 all-time wins, matching the Senators total from 1901-1960.
May 17, 201412 yr I don't really know how to interpret this one...there's a little bit of good but probably more bad in this anomaly. Only one A.L. batter hitting over .260 has a higher OBP than slugging percentage, and it's Joe Mauer.

May 18, 201412 yr On the morning of May 18th, Brian Dozier is tied for 3rd in the AL with 11 home runs. He's tied with David Ortiz and Jose Bautista, btw.
May 18, 201412 yr My fun fact: This is the latest in a season the Twins have been over .500 since....the last time they were over .500 later in the season. (DId I do it right?)
May 18, 201412 yr My fun fact: This is the latest in a season the Twins have been over .500 since....the last time they were over .500 later in the season. (DId I do it right?) Better than average.

Recent Mauer glove gaffes aside...

May 20, 201412 yr Hah, here's a good one. Aaron Hicks' OPS+ of 74 is higher than Denard Span at 71 and Ben Revere at 61.
May 20, 201412 yr On the Hicks vs Span vs Revere front, Hicks Bbref dWAR (-0.4) is sandwiched between Revere (-0.5) and Span (-0.3).
May 28, 201412 yr There are currently 9 Twins with 100 or more PAs. Joe Mauer has a higher OPS than 3of them: Hicks, Kubel, and the now departed Colabello.
June 10, 201412 yr Joe Mauer vs LHP:76 PA .211/.282/.211 30% K rate. Brutal. I believe you were looking for the "Not Fun with Numbers" thread and reached this one by mistake.
June 10, 201412 yr Per Berardino, the Twins have dodged more than $1 BILLION in arms this spring (Buehrle, Sonny Gray, James Shields, Verlander, Scherzer, Kershaw, Josh Beckett, John Lackey, Jon Lester, Iwakuma, Matt Cain, Tim Hudson, Yu Darvish, Kuroda, Sabathia, Lohse). How about 2014 salary? Even factoring in Gray’s near-minimum salary and counting Buehrle just once, the Twins have dodged $229.5 million worth of elite starting pitching, or an average of $14.34 million per starter. http://blogs.twincities.com/twins/2014/06/10/morning-twinsights-twins-have-dodged-more-than-1-billion-worth-of-opposing-starters/ The Twins are 0-5 when facing a starter w/a ERA in the top 10 in the league.
June 10, 201412 yr The Twins are 0-5 when facing a starter w/a ERA in the top 10 in the league. Well it's hard to face them when most of them are on your team. That's the case right?
June 10, 201412 yr Fun one about TD's favorite two debate topics:Hicks has passed Mauer in OBP (.338 to .336)What planet do we live on again?
June 10, 201412 yr Author I feel like I'm flogging the Joe Mauer dead horse a bit here, but seriously, is there a health issue that needs some DL time to sort out? Back? Concussion hangover? Mauer's last 100 PA: 19-94, 6/18 BB/K for a .202/.250/.277 slash line That's beyond unlucky to me.
June 22, 201412 yr Among Twins regulars, the best defender on the team, according to UZR, is Trevor Plouffe (+2.2).
June 23, 201412 yr The 2013 Twins won 66 games.The 2014 Twins are on pace to win 78 games.Therefore the 2015 Twins are on pace to win 90 games.

June 23, 201412 yr We can count on the 2022 Twins winning 174 games or thereabout. Hopefully the season hasn't been expanded to 1,000 games by then.
