    Plus it's Kluber.
  2. jimmer
    Kluber is a beast and one of the elite. If we ever get one, I hope Mollie gives him the same rope. In the meantime...

    8th in AL BA, 4th in AL OBP, .318 BA and .881 OPS w/RISP and GG defense.

    2 out RBIs for Mauer.

    There's a lot of traditional old school theories on how much playoff experience plays into a team's chances, how going into the playoffs 'hot' or 'cold 'plays into a team's chances, how a players' playoff history plays into how well he will do, and so on. And since we've been told that all our lives, it's got to be true. All of it scientifically proven ;-)

    We could also use FIP, though that wouldn't make it half his seasons, just 5 out of 12 :-) In any event, I always thought Radke was a top 30 pitcher in his time who wasn't considered one cause of the whole win/loss stat. Easily my 2nd favorite Twins starting pitcher of all time.

    fWAR
  8. jimmer
    We are getting a wild card.
  9. jimmer
    Radke was a top 30 SP in at least half of his seasons.

    Problem is, ERA doesn't measure only pitching. Defense is a vital influence on ERA. Scorers decisions are a vital influence on ERA. Heck, some parks are more helpful to ERAs and hurtful to others' ERA. And if a pitcher gives up 8 runs after an error is made cause out #3 not to occur, all of that is unearned, even though that pitcher (and the defense) certainly gave up all those runs.
  11. jimmer
    and if you don't care about ERA...
  12. jimmer
    All of this. I'd go so far as to say the same thing even if they barely miss getting the 2nd wild card.

    It's like fielders are being held to high school fielding standards nowadays. Think about this. Ozzie Smith is the best fielding shortstop of all time (no offense to Omar V), and yet he had 5 seasons in his career where he had 20 or more errors. In fact, in his first 6 seasons, he averaged about 20 errors a season. Last year only two shortstops had more than 18 errors.
  14. jimmer
    Well, yeah, that's why i said except Ozzie Smith :-) Though, in fairness, in Ozzie's day, a .262/.337/.370 was passable for a shortstop. Especially when he could play D like he did.

    Mauer is now 6th in AL BA and 3rd in AL OBP while playing GG defense. W/RISP: .321 BA and an 880 OPS.
  16. jimmer
    I wish I got why that isn't an error. Ball went in and out of his glove. But there are a lot of scoring decisions (in regards to what is an isn't an error) that baffle me. Back in the 80s and before, I believe that's scored an error.
  17. jimmer
    That's why my favorite players have always been the well rounded ones (well, except Ozzie Smith:-)).

    Since Aug 1st, Polanco and Mauer are 1, 2 in AL BA. Mauer is now 6th in AL BA and 3rd in AL OBP while playing GG defense.
  19. jimmer
    In 2009 he was an above average defender and he led the AL in BA, OBP and SLG%. When he did that, it was the first time that had happened in the AL since George Brett in 1980. Pretty sure he is still the only catcher to ever do it. He also led the AL in OPS+ and he led in wRC+ by 18 points. A pretty phenomenal year.

    The washed up slacker gets on base for the 4th time today.
  21. jimmer
    I think it's a lot harder to come in to pitch with runners on than it does to come into the game in the 9th inning with a 2 or 3 run lead.
  22. jimmer
    Imagine how slow Moustakas would be if he was 34 and had spent 10 professional seasons crouching behind the plate...
  23. jimmer
    Nifty

    This team has done surprisingly well this season. While he sometimes drives me crazy, I got to give Molitor a lot of credit for the team performing above expectations. Hopefully he gets an extension. He's turned into a fine manager.
