We survived!

 

please do us the honor, and create tomorrow's game day thread. I bestow upon you, under article 69 of the soxtalk administrative constitution, the right to do so.

If you were a Twins fan, what would you be saying about Quentin?

 

he hits more HR, has a higher OPS, players a tougher position, more runs... the reality is, they are both having outstanding seasons.

and driving in a run. with two outs. I hate the guy but he's nails.

 

Saw this in Stark's most recent column, surprisingly showing that Morneau's second in baseball for having runners on base that he fails to knock in:

 

Stat of the week

 

Here's our latest brainstorm for illustrating how RBIs are overrated -- a new stat concoction we're calling Runs NOT Batted In (RNBI).

 

To compute it, you start with number of runners on base when a hitter bats, subtract the number of those runners knocked in and compute how many of those runners each hitter didn't drive in.

 

The leaderboard, through Aug. 26 (data from baseballprospectus.com):

HITTER RUNNERS DRIVEN IN RNBI

Garrett Atkins 434 64 370

Justin Morneau 439 82 357

Troy Glaus 415 63 352

David Wright 423 75 348

Jeff Francoeur 393 49 344

There is no question. But when someone talks JM deserving the MVP more than Quentin, I am interested to know why.

Drugs.

 

They're probably the same people who thought Morneau deserves the MVP in 2006, even though he was the third most valuable player on his own team.
