      It's an epidemic with the squad. Hopefully it's just a memory come August-September-etc.

        Has anyone bothered to see if the other teams that are winning maybe leave a lot on base too. Teams that win get lots of hits, a lot of the time those baserunners are going to go for naught. I mean just because a team gets 11 hits doesn't mean they are going to have 10 runs.

        My guess is the Yankees (not last night) and other teams leave small villages on the basepaths too.

          Finally someone else gets it. Thank you Handy. You plot LOB with wins and I'll bet it isn't the negative correlation most people think it is.

              umm... Really? We're now criticizing Mauer for his double plays? The man who creates more runs per 27 than God Himself...?

                    Game is going pretty well today. 6-0 at this point.

                    Every guy in the room stopped, looked at me, and I swear to you, you could see a lightbulb go off over everyone's head at the same time. We booked it downstairs and turned on the game. It was awesome.
                    I was at the game, and the biggest roar of the night was when everyone saw BabyJesus step into the on deck circle. It was indeed awesome. It is rare when an athlete has kind of impact that he does, and not just on the scoresheet. That is why they absolutely needed to get that contract signed.

                    He creates alot of runs, but still has the Joe Mauer Double Play Burger named after him.

                      You know me, I hate stats and sabermetrics, but I have to say I am surprised there isnt a "Runs scored per baserunner" stat or something.

                      And the Joe Mauer joke has been around forever because he did/does hit into them. That is why he allows the Nook to call his burger "The Joe Mauer Double Play Burger". Kirby Puckett used to hit into a lot of them too it is not a real big deal

                        As of right now, The Twins are 1st in the AL in TPA and are 3rd in RS (by a wide margin) despite playing 3 more games than NY and 2 more than TB. The Yankees are 12th in TPA, but are 1st in RS, while Tampa Bay is 7th in TPA and are 2nd in RS, so yes I think it's safe to say the Twins are not as efficient in taking advantage of the men they put on base since they produce less with more.

                        And of course as usual the reaction to anyone bringing up the subject is worse than the actual criticism of their RLISP stat. No one said, ZOMG THYRE TEH WSTR EVEH!!!, however I don't think it's ludicrous to contemplate that their failure to capitalize at a better rate could cost them against the better teams from the East.

                              After Mike & Mike are off, I don't tune in until noon and turn it off after 8 pm. That is, whenever I'm actually listening, typically just during commutes and at work. I can't stand colin cowherd.

                              But I guess I do like it overall. I just miss AM1500.
