Do you even know what is factored into WAR?


Also hate to break it to you but Meyers fangraph WAR is 1.8 and Dubon 1.3

But keep going this is fun

Dubon has had more plate appearances than Meyers this season. 
 

This obviously works in Meyers’ favor.

Or is it the other way around. 
 

I feel like we’re fighting over two fat chicks at the bar.

10 W’s for the rook

Twins manager is as dumb as Dusty.

I'd rather Meyers be traded or DFA'd, but he does hit LHP pretty well (this season and his career). The problem is that Dusty doesn't believe in that type of shit, so Meyers plays more against RHP who he is terrible against. This is where I like the Giants way of doing things. They deploy a bunch of platoon guys, and as soon as the platoon advantage changes they switch the player.

Eh. Their pitcher got hosed

Then why does Dusty consistently pinch hit for Meyers in the 8th and 9th innings? With Dubon being one of those pinch hitters?

All you have to do is read this thread to know that Dusty's tactics are infallible

Our record tells me, this staff has made more right moves than bad

No. Not even close to reality. He’s like -5 or -7 by war. He’s a buffoon.

I’m a fan of Comerica.

mostly I’m a fan of ticket prices for seats like these that are probably in line with what the same we’re going for at MMP when were losing 100+ a decade ago

It’s simple prorations based upon playing time choices by captain dipshit. I mean2 indid the prorating but I didn’t make up the numbers.

When is the last time it took until August 26th for us to get a 10 game winner?

Would be nice to have 5 10 game winners by end of the week (JV, Javier, JP and Framber all with 9).

Money Maton is back....Blanco optioned

[UTexasFight 9376]

JV day lineups are so maddening.

we joked, but Singleton is totally his first baseman now 

this is going to be a real problem in October

I mean, there’s a pretty good chance that the only problem in October is that we’re done playing.

if that’s our only problem, I’ll take it !

 

I think it’ll eventually be a combo or Diaz / Abreu at 1st. Singelton doesn’t make the playoff roster

Right.

I didn’t mean to insinuate that Singleton would actually be getting playoff starts, but even if it’s *just* Dubon and Diaz isn’t in the lineup, that’s still a problem.

That bottom 4 is gross

[Rimbo 25772]

Ya know, it hasn't been a GREAT season. There's a real chance we don't make the playoffs, not even our usual spot in the ALCS.

But you know what makes me feel just a little bit better about it?

 

 

[Rimbo 25772]

now go pitch a shutout in front of your old home crowd JV

Peña!

[Overlord 366]

Miggy seems like a good dude. 
 

He’ll be a good representation for the Hall of Fame. 

[Overlord 366]

Why does Singleton now seem to be connected to JV?

Does JV have a soft spot for players batting in the 100’s?

[UTHornFan014 710]

Maybe we should stop giving them free bases? 

[tx 3 putt 76314]

Good time to get some runs 

[Overlord 366]

 Because they bat .200 when they start with JV!

If the doctor does another examination and finds “inflammation” again, I’m going to firebomb MMP.
