6/14 Twins (Baker) @ Cobs (Lilly), 1:20pm WGN

[Vanilla Ice]

Thinking of his .500 OPS I wondered "what's replacement OPS for a 2b?" and googled briefly.

First hit: http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/fantasy/article/predicting-replacement-level/

 

Those seem high, but he's not close.

Those are for fantasy leagues, I think. I am pretty sure actual replacement level is lower

[E.J.]

Damn. The wind is hurting us today.

That would explain much.

I would have been upset if Fukudome collided with anyone. However, the other two...not so much so.

 

Heh, yeah, a Miles/Bradley collisions could solve some problems for us

 

Hmmmmm........do you think we could bribe opposing hitters to hit a few more fly balls that direction?

 

So 3 posters have been reduced to asking for players to hurt themselves. Excellent job people.

 

I was being tongue in cheek...so get off your high horse

[Little Slide Rooter]

Why cant Miles do us all a favor and step in front of the red line?

 

Knock it off !

 

C'mon Fred it would be for the betterment of the team.

 

We will not be advocating death or injury on this board to any person. If people are going to break this rule, there will be suspensions handed out.

 

What if it doesnt actually hit him, and it just comes close enough to scare him out of chicago?

Regardless of Miles' talent level, wishing death on a player is in really bad taste.

 

Eh I didn't really read it as a serious thought or anything. Do I really wish physical harm upon Aaron Miles? Not really. But for the love of all that is holy he can find a way out of Chicago any minute now.

Seriously, just knock it off. It's stupid and childish.

Total overkill but whatever.

So not wishing injury on someone is being on my "high horse". I would imagine that this is a perfect example for elementary students of the pot calling the kettle black.

What has happened to Delmon Young?

[E.J.]

Damn. The wind is hurting us today.

 

Nevermind. Wind just saved us.

[Outshined_One]

What has happened to Delmon Young?

 

Ten cent head.

[BCVM22]

What has happened to Delmon Young?

 

The wind. That one looked like it would have been out on Waveland any other day.

[Sosa21MVP]

Nice play Mike.

Right, but I am talking about the other 50 games he has played without howling wind.

He swings at everything and never takes a walk.

Nobody really gives a damn whether you are serious or joking. You break the rules, you pay the penalty. Do you tell bomb jokes at the airport, too ????

I thought coming up he had decent discipline? Guess not.

He has 5 walks compared to 49 K's on the season.

[E.J.]

I have a good feeling about this inning. We're gonna score a couple runs here.

Well that is a good start.

[CubmanPi]

Milton got a double, and he didn't even hurt himself doing it!! \:D/

[CyHawk_Cub]

Well, a good start to your feeling...

[Friendly Confines]

Yeah when the count was 3-1 I was almost sure Bradley would swing at a bad pitch and ground out or something.

 

Von Joshua all the way!

[Fred Hornkohl]

I have a good feeling about this inning.

 

This, too, shall pass. :wink:
