QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:44 PM) The thing is though, he's made 1 out in his three at bats and yet the one he did is all that people will talk about. I know his hits weren't hit hard, but a hit is a hit. For whatever reason, certain guys seem to draw a disproportionate amount of ire around here. His 1 out was a double play with 2 on and no outs.

Viciedo really does have a cannon.

Betemit and Podsednik. Fantastic.

Floyd only has 1 K through 4.1 IP.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) If I was to consider anyone on this site to be a baseball doctor, it would probably be you. So which is it doc? something or nothing? Probably nothing he's done this before, the only thing different about this streak is the triple and the HR were doubles in the past, his good ABs are still coming between awful Abs. Of course, I was skeptical at the beginning of Quentin's current hot streak and now I'm fairly certain he's back so who knows?

I hate you, Mark Kotsay.

With his 2 hits tonight Gordon Beckham has raised his OPS to .559 and passed Pedro Feliz for 173rd place (2nd to last) in OPS this season. Next up #172 Juan Pierre at .592.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) Twins I think I'd prefer to bury the Twins. Being 2 out of first place but a half game up on the Twins on Friday morning would be nice.

Gordon over his last 5 games (15 PA): .357/.333/.857/1.190. Could mean something, could mean nothing I don't know, I'm not a doctor.

Outstanding.

Gordon was thinking 2 out of the box. Awesome.

Oh yeah, good s*** Gordon.

Hopefully this will change with Ozzie getting in his ear.

Christ. This s*** is just retarded.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 07:56 PM) this is why i like the camera angle the twins use - you can see this for yourself and you can also see the positioning of the ump. But you can't see the catcher's fingers, I can not live with that. It's also just not intimate enough for my taste, feels like I have s***ty seats.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 07:55 PM) They were both kinda close, according to GameDay.

I sense a pattern, how about you?

Because if there's one guy you NEED to scout it's Adam Dunn.

Billy Butler is pretty awful in the field.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) Hawk just called Viciedo The Tank. I thought it was a ST.com thing? Yay! Ozzie gave him that nick name. He started with the "Cuban Pimp" then moved to the "Tank".

Savor it Dayan, you won't be getting many more opportunities.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 07:28 PM) I still don't necessarily believe that. As for us, we've been caught an awful lot recently. We were probably closer to 75% about 10 games ago or so... We were at 70% coming into June.

I should clarify: those are the top 5 teams in SB with their SB% next to them. There's a bit of a drop off from #5 to #6 so I went no further but of the high volume SB teams in the game we are the least efficient and it's annoying as hell.

Our team SB% this season is 67%, that's not so good. Here are your SB leaders: TBR 91 - 77% NYM 74 - 81% CHW 71 - 67% SEA 70 - 80% SDP 67 - 72% Have I mentioned lately just how much I hate our base running philosophy?
