Cory and Dan are talking a lot about Sano's strikeouts. I hope that's not going to become a thing. We know he's going to strike out a lot. He's always struck out a lot. There's no point in fussing about it.
AaHRon HRicks
Its been a few days since Sano hit a home run.
I bet he hits one tonight.
Here in time for a Sano PA.
Boo.
Wow. Did Dazz just advocate "running Sano out there" despite the Ks because Power?
Yes he did. I was glad to hear it, given the comments he and Cory made earlier.
crax.
E-Dan Gladden. LOL
pffft. singles hitter.
why is the dude in Gameday white when Sano bats?
because all dudes in gameday are white....
Really? That seems very odd.
yeah, right?
Bremer : "Lets see is the Twins ask Escobar to bunt"
Escobar promptly scalds a liner to the OF for a RBI single.
Molitor learns faster than Bremer.
TWINS BASEBALL!!!!
It's been a while since we had a Dazzle Special!
that's a lot of Twins Baseball ®
I missed the time the Royals signed Joba Chamberlain.
In between that and the Tigers, the Blue Jays signed him for a few weeks.
Extend hiim!!!
most dangerous hitter, batting 9th.
Now Hicks is a "good switch hitter", Dazz?
checks. 625 OPS vs RH pitchers, 970 OPS vs LH pitchers this year.
TWINS BASEBALL!!!
EDTWINS BASEBALL!!
Hard to doink a ball into the Royals outfield
Helps that Alex Gordon isn't in left.
If the FSN graphic is exhaustive, Hunter has the fifth most outfield starts in the AL. He's at 2188 and the leader, Al Kaline, is at 2375.
The only players ahead of him are in the Hall of Fame.
are you sure about that? On the b-r list of career games played in the OF, he's 26th (2,234). There are six non-HOFers ahead of him in OF games played (Barry Bonds at 2,874; Steve Finley at 2,487; Luis Gonzalez, 2,441; Vada Pinson, 2,403; Ken Griffey Sr., 2,382; and Willie Davis, 2,323).
Finley had 2,300 career starts in the OF. He's not making the HOF any time soon. LuGo had 2,367 starts in the OF, Pinson 2,335, Griffey Sr, 2,348, and Davis 2,218. Torii (2,187 starts) can catch Davis, but he ain't likely to catch the rest of those guys.
I guess you were referring to the AL-only guys, since all of those played all or most of their careers in the NL?
kind of weird to see Kaline as the AL leader in that category, given that Ty Cobb played over 2,900 career games, nearly all in the OF. But there's apparently no data on whether he "started" any games during 1905-1913, during which he played over 1,100 games in the OF. He's listed as having "started" only 1,787 career games in the OF. But the true number is probably more like 2,800.
I questioned those numbers, too. Hunter's had a fine career, and he's played in a lot of games, but I find it hard to believe that he's fifth in career games started in the outfield.
Or Tris Speaker. He has 2698 games played but is also missing which of the 747 games he started 1907 through 1913. The box scores for the early years are slowly being filled in so Kaline may not be long for the top spot.
Heck, in Games Player he is in lofty territory
91. George Davis 2372
92. Al Oliver 2368
93. Nellie Fox 2367
94. Willie Stargell 2360
95. Sammy Sosa 2354
96. Jose Cruz 2353 97. Torii Hunter 2350
With 25 games left and if Hunter plays a majority of them, he could end the season in the low 90s.
Twins baseball?
WTFDYROER?
Is he okay?
71 wins! 25 games left so they only need to go 10-15 to reach .500.
They would have to go 1-24 to reach 90 losses.
So much more depressing than Sean's lte.
they've only had one month roughly as bad as 10-15 (June, 11-17).
