  1. well to be fair, he said he was expecting a breakout year, and villanueva essentially repeated what he did the previous year, albeit with a little less obp and a little more slg.
  2. If he blows away the AFL, it becomes a non zero chance, in my opinion, of him being in our Opening Day lineup. Even with our FO being extremely cautious. there is already a non zero chance of that happening. personally i'd prefer that he start in iowa just to buy another year of team control, but teams do start young players on their major league rosters if those guys are top prospects and they tear it up during spring ball.
  3. tennessee ops, not season ops.
  4. double for baez... AA ops at .992. would be cool if he finished above 1.000. vogelbach has a single and a walk; bryant a triple and a walk.
  5. yeah, just [expletive] it. let him do his thing. if he never develops as much patience or power as you'd like, he's still a solid defender at a premium position, and can hit .300. still a lot of value in that. not much value in how pathetic he's been this season.
  6. in his last 8 games vogelbach has a batting average of .235 and an obp of .567.
  7. seems like he had a much better week... solid defense and hitting the ball with more authority. fingers crossed for a solid end to the season.
  8. deep fly out for baez in the second inning. :(
  9. a strict platoon of gaby sanchez and morneau would actually be good offensively. i guess garrett jones pretty much never plays after this deal.
  10. SSS also babip and lob%. rusin's K rate is actually worse than last season. his xFIP is only marginally better than 2012. that being said, his major league line against LH batters is .246/.297/.333/.631, and i think he could be a good loogy.
  11. You posted in the College Football thread 4 minutes after making this post. about ugly girls from vanderbilt. i could name two active college football players: manziel and clowney (sp?) admittedly, i used to be pretty into college basketball and college football, but as i have aged and grown wiser, i have come to see the error of my ways. the ncaa is a pathetic organization and the major revenue sports in college are a sham. i mean, you're watching unpaid athletes earn millions of dollars for their employers, under the auspices that they're also getting an education. when in reality like half of them can barely even read.
  12. purple kansas needs to learn how to choose their cupcakes better.
  13. brett jackson has climbed up to the mendoza line! \:D/
  14. always a mega-bummer to see tennessee beating the [expletive] out of their opponent 12-0, then find that the starter is eduardo figueroa, justin bour has 6 of the RBI and baez is 0-for-3.
  15. no walk, but is a home run okay?
  16. hamilton is the kind of guy who could make a playoff roster just so he could come in and steal a base in the late innings of a close game.
  17. agreed. in that it's such a cesspool that i wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
  18. yeah, now that i look at it, seems like the ball is bouncing more slowly than it should. apparently my 5 year old mac laptop is not top of the line.
  19. on the gif in this thread? i did it like 5 times and got 5.5 to 6 every time. I just timed it 5 times and got 4.6, 4.6, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7. From Contact to AJ reaching first base, I got: 5.0, 4.9, 5.1, 5.2, 5.1 Christ, what is wrong with the stopwatch on my phone then.
  20. jeez vandy has to have the worst looking chicks in the SEC.
  21. verdict: hockey is good. college football sucks.
  22. kevin encarnacion is hitting .370 at boise, how has WSR not mentioned this
  23. on the gif in this thread? i did it like 5 times and got 5.5 to 6 every time.
