Yeah, you defiitely shouldn't use that word.

Well this is where the author's criticism of not taking into account who is up (and up after that) comes into play. Though Joe Mauer doesn't hit a lot of homeruns, I think most Twins fans would love...

Double bleh. A bleh in their faces.

Neither OBP or Batting Average take into consideration the number of bases the player earned. OBP just says how many times a person gets on base, with a triple counting the same as a single. Same...

This article would be helped by (A) breaking down how switch hitters did as righties and as lefties (B) taking OBP into consideration and (C) taking plate appearances into consideration. Chili Davis...

Agreed. Using statistics arbitrarily and without context is a favorite tactic of many fellow purveyors of this site who like to rant. Well done sir, well done.

Also, pitchers expect to keep...

Though this is all very interesting, perhaps you shouldn't quit your day job.

Hicks didn't suddenly change his batting habits when he went to the majors. He didn't change his swing or start...

Not to be a naysayer but if you leave a guy in AAA all year you still don't know who he is long-term until he faces major league pitching. You also can have a guy struggle in the majors the entire...

I don't think that this is what the original guy was saying but that stat doesn't endorse the fact that a player is hurt by moving back and forth between AAA and the majors. The player could've...

There's a clear logical fallacy to your point here. Having fewer strikeouts and walks does not mean that the Twins will have more home runs or even are any more likely to give up home runs. Those...

You realize that when you say "in pinstripes" everyone thinks you're referring to the Yankees right?

But that's the thing, it wouldn't be that game deciding it. What decided it was the hundreds of games played earlier. Just because it's the last game doesn't mean that that game decides it. No...

Since September 2010 the Twins have been the 2nd worst team in the AL. The Mariners are 112 and 167 for a .401 winning clip and the Twins are 117 and 159 for a .423 clip. You may call that...

This has been proven to be false. He burned himself while ironing but wasn't wearing the shirt.

Tough my cousin did do that. Amazing moment in family history.

I was Backpacking by myself in japan in 2008. If you haven't been to japan, it can be a very isolating place to be alone. No one talks to you in public, no one even overtly looks at other people....

Doesn't mean it hasn't been covered a million times by Twins bloggers on this site and elsewhere. Nothing new is there - we get it, you all disagree. Stop beating the dead horse.

He pinch hits for Valencia when matchups late in a game work that way - which they often will since many closers and setup guys are righties.
