Who is starting the other game? I assume this is a split squad -
I agree that they should change the criteria to make guys like that ineligible...but the precedent has already been set with Ichiro. Hideo Nomo

Im not saying Trout isn't deserving but I find the WAR gap very questionable, usually a SABR fan will be the first to scream that a one year defensive value should be questioned but Im not hearing that very much this year with regard to defense. Im not saying it is wrong just that I have not noticed anyone questioning it in the way they do with every other sample size issue. I find it much more questionable that Angel Stadium is now Petco Park, that is having a significant effect on Trout's WAR and I dont really like park factors to begin with. From 2009 back forever Angel Stadium was a neutral park more or less, but now its the best pitcher's park in the AL besides Seattle?

How is it a joke that a guy OPSing 1.000 with Comerica Park as a home field might win the AL MVP? The biggest reasons that Trout is so far ahead in WAR over Cabrera are both a little questionable. 1 is defense, and a single season of defense should not be completely trusted. 2 is the OPS+ numbers. Cabrera has 38 point lead in OPS (1.001 vs .963) but a 4 point deficit in OPS+ (166 vs 170). What is going on there? Apparently Angel Stadium is now a pitchers paradise, it has the same park factor as San Diego (92)??? Just 4 year ago it was a neutral park and had been forever. And Trout is hitting better at home vs the road, so those numbers are getting an even bigger boost. If not for these 2 factors the WAR difference would be pretty close, probably similar to Braun/Kemp last year.

Very nice play from #9

I'm not exactly sure what you are looking at man....She is stunning! Trenni >>>>>> Sophia
-
Gomez is 3 off the NL SB lead
-
4 seem fastball at 88 mph is not good. Just like Marcum last year it has been pretty obvious Fiers has been done for the last month and RRR has absolutely NO clue. He just keeps proving he doesn't know anything about baseball and his only asset is that the players like him.

Thats why you dont shave your mustache
-
Aoki needs 2 more SBs to make the Brewers the 13th team to ever have all 3 outfielders with 30 SBs
-
StL up 2-0 in the second and threatening
-
Weeks was thrown out at first by a step or two and lollygagged back to the base, even though he went to far he could have made it back if he would have ran.
-
They can add outs until he qualifies, doing that right now he leads Braun. The Cabrera thing only applies to players who were suspended.
-
Weeks in the air vs pitcher running at full speed, result: pitcher gets a visit from the training staff, nice
-
He did not hustle back to the base at all, he was jogging at best. Even BA said bad baserunning from Weeks which is code for: that was horrible baserunning but Im not allowed to criticize the Brewers on the air
-
Braun is not leading the league in SLG, right now G Stanton is. Sit Weeks on the bench, that was the worst hustle I have seen from an MLBer in a while
-
I dont think Braun can get to 200 hits but he is now 4 behind McCutchen for the league lead.
-
Also Aoki needs to dive for that come on you idiot the runner was going on the pitch, if you dont catch it game is over
-
Well now that is the whole season narrowed down to one game
-
Throw a slider
-
The point is that by using Yorvit you somewhat limit your ability to use Lucroy since you dont have the extra catcher, especially in a 1 run game that could go extras. If you are going to use one of your catcher, in any situation, you use Lucroy and leave Yorvit on the bench. If you want to use Lucroy in a different spot...such as now, then you dont use Yorvit in the first place.
-
Pile on me all you want, you should at least consider bunting here with ARam in theory. In reality he likely is a worse bunter than me
-
Too bad its against the rules to leave Henderson in for the 9th.
-
So RRR decided to use one of his right handed hitting catchers to pinch hit...and he goes with Yorvit over Lucroy. WHY

"Larry Walker settled in at first base after a one-out hit and took his lead. The next batter lined a ball to left center field. Walker whipped around second and was halfway to third when the leftfielder made a marvelous running catch. Walker’s instincts kicked in and he immediately slammed on the brakes and made a beeline for first, right past the mound and directly across the diamond. When Walker, standing on the bag, was tagged out for not retouching second base, his baseball education began in earnest." http://www.coloradosports.org/Larry_Walker.cfm
