Sorry FSN productions guys, but DSPAN and McCutcheon are not quite equals as centerfielders.
Let me guess, compared their batting averages? That's about the only thing where they're similar.
Aren't they both CFers? Doesn't that make them equals?
actually, I'm not sure where DPWY was going with this one.

9.8 rWAR for Span versus 13.4 rWAR for McCutchen over those four years. They have similar batting averages and McCutchen has a slight edge in OBP, but McCutchen also has considerably more power.
"Equal as centerfielders?" I didn't hear it, so did they mean defensively?
Plouffe!!!
2 F-Bombs.
We have two game logs going on?
Sounds like some time zone confusion perhaps.
Yes indeed. What is the Twins on the East coast. WHOOPS!
there wasnt one up when the game started, so I posted one....so I dunno.
That's good hustle, dw.
doing the little things, that's the wgom way.
if I could bunt, I could play for the Twins!
Wattsy wins!
Sanctimonious Dick and Bert who like to tear down Bonds at every opportunity are giggling about Peralta's pine tar incident and Bert basically admits to having doctored balls.
Naw, that's just a dude stealin detergent from Walmart. Saw that clip.
It occurs to me that I was in attendance for Liriano's only win so far this season.
Liriano is cruising. Don't let anyone know, because it might cause him to asplode
Between the throws to first and the foul balls, this is one long AB
Willingham doesnt push the ball to right center field very often.
If he does, it tends to be with two strikes and/or RISP.
Somehow my plane (rather, the plane on which I paid a hefty sum to ride) is giving me free temporary internet access. I'm a little uncomfortable with this, but intend to make good use.
Just hope Matt Damon doesn't institute "Sky Law" on you.
funny, I just saw that episode right before the Twins game.
When Liz dates Wesley Snipes (Michael Sheen), then Carol Burnett (Matt Damon) is one of my favorite arcs of all of "30 Rock".
"So are you a doorman?"
"Yeah, I'm a doorman...TO THE SKY!"
I have always liked 30 Rock, but catching it in syndication, has turned that like to love. I just love the balls to the wall joke machine they built and its awesome that the show can get big time actors like Damon, Sheen, Julianne Moore, etc to step right in and commit to the madness.
Good grief, Morneau has no luck against lefties. It seems like he's been crushing the ball a lot against them with no luck. Two line drives to McCutcheon today.
that was a crazy rundown
wiggled out of that jam.
Butera hit?
*looks at sky for evidence of End Times*
Sal is in attendance, so he tries harder. Or Hughes lets him to impress Pops.
A wicked storm did just roll through Northern Iowa.
double play would be pretty sweet right now.
Time for a double-play, right???
One inning too long for F-ski?
I'm thinking Liriano's pitch limit should be 90.
SPANNNNN!!!!
I hope he is not hurt.
DSpan saves an already sketchy situation.
Aw, crap. That's my cue to go home.
I got home just in time for that Spangasm.
My MLB.tv picture is terrible though. My. God.
Jason Grilli is still around. huh.
My thought exactly
Not an account of any literal, potential or virtual such ball game, but it seems like we/they/some escaped a potentially dangerous inning there, but don't quote me on that.
Heh. Nice callback.

I saw this post before I saw the dinger. You've ruined my life!
maybe I called it :p
I don't believe it. I can never forgive you for this.
Awww...who am I kidding? I can't stay mad at you.
How often is it that you see somebody make a great play in the field and they're due up 9th the next inning?
Hammered!
YES!
Spiral-cut!!!!!!!
BOOM!
Morneau finally figures out he needs to weakly hit the ball to get a hit.
that pitch Willingham jacked was right in his wheelhouse.
It was a pretty sexy home run. I'll give him that.
Agent Smith wheeler-dealer.
Capps could have done that.
Any time you move your hand up the bat and then put the bat over the plate, that should be a strike.

this game is kinda cruising along.
Frankie is cruising so far tonight.
Just a bit slow on the trigger.

World champs, baby!
3-egg scramble. Nice job Perkins.
I called that win.
Where's my Jamey Carroll home run?
Greek -> Turbo now.
What a great game. Still on track for 122-40!
