  1. Trout hit two home runs tonight. His wRC+ is up to 156. For what it's worth, he also leads the Majors in runs scored.
  2. yeah, I now see he was talking abour Rainier. Iorg got some hype from some local writers but was never that highly regarded in serious projections. Most of the hype was about his defense.
  3. Tyler Collins and Cale Iorg are you comps for McGonigle? You're just messing with us now.
  4. He also has an OBP of .400 and an OPS+ of 128. Lots of red on statcast too. He's not what he used to be, but it's not terrible. When I read that post, I assumed he had a serious injury.
  5. 1976 needs to be in there too.
  6. He managed to mock and insult Christians on both Easter and Orthodox Easter.
  7. Tanana's career was fascinating. He was a young fireballer early in his career, lost it and then re-made himself into a crafty lefty. He wasn't the only one to do that, but I don't think too many pitchers had quite the contrast in his career that he did. It would be like Skubal losing it and then becoming Kenny Rogers.
  8. That's the truest statement you can make about baseball.
  9. 12th in hitter WAR. 9th in pitcher WAR.
  10. Yes, I was wrong. It was not Smith. Smith was fired at around the same time. I think Pujols may have been an interim move until Dombrowski had more time to make a decision.
  11. The Hungary election result is huge. Everything the conservatives have been doing in the US was modeled after Hungary. It gives me hope that this right-wing authoritarian movement in the US can be not only defeated but crushed.
  12. I though Garner was a decent manager who didn't have much talent to work with, probably the best manager of that entire sorry Tigers era between Anderson and Leyland. It was a real sharp move by Smith replacing him with Pujols. The other thing I remember about him was that he name was misspelled almost as much as Raburn. RIP Phil Gardner
  13. I've said that all along. I wasn't saying they were bad. I was saying that they were not doing well to start the season and that was the biggest reason they were losing. Or maybe the swept because they added Perez. Not sure.
  14. Have you not leaned anything from Adduci?
  15. Just like Obama!
  16. That wouldn't be fascinating. It would be depressing.
  17. I think it's pretty much a give that those guys will not be extended.
  18. Average defensive shortstop is very good! Nobody said he couldn't play short, but when I see "might end up at another position", it seems like they usually do get moved off the position.
  19. I am not sure those guys will stop making too many outs, but I am confident that all three with start hitting for more power.
  20. Correct.
  21. I just can't imagine he has the time or desire to even bother with it other than reading it and smirking about it. I think that he selected a person who is loyal to him and can write controversial stuff that sounds like it could be him. Regardless of whether or not it's actually him though, he has to own whatever is said in those posts.
  22. I wear a watch because I am very time conscious and I find it useful. I get why you wouldn't want to wear one. I would never wear any jewely. I think it would be really annoying to wear anything like that and it is has no useful purpose for me personally.
  23. When has lying not been the political tool of the day? I strongly agree that men get away with lying much more easily. When they do it, it is considered crafty and slick. When a woman does it, she is a bad person.
  24. I didn't personally say he couldn't stay at short. I was repeating what I have seen from scouting reports regarding "questions about his defense". I think it is his range that is in question more than his arm though. In my very amateur view, He is not Mark Belanger, but I have not seen any glaring weaknesses in his game which should force him to move off the position right now.
  25. I have never heard anyone say he was a bad fielder, just that his skills might be more suited to 2b oe 3b long-term rather than shortstop.
