It's so nice to have speed this year.

And it's paying off especially at the top of the order. Will be really good to see what type of impact it has on Pods and Iguchi scoring runs when the Big Hurt comes back into the #3 hole most likely.

Do you think the Twins are regretting losing Koskie and Guzman yet?

Koskie probably, although he was injury prone for them. Guzman? No, Jason Bartlett is doing a good job, he'll have a better OBP, and will come about $3,500,000 cheaper. Minny fans are getting restless of Luis Rivas though, but they've been like that for a long time.

He reached on a FC & not an error. Then he went to 3rd on a WP & scored on a PB. I wanted to stress the difference there because it's much more likely to reach on a FC than an error. Reaching on a FC I don't believe shows up in OBP so I'm going to see if I can find some stats to see how often he did this in 04. It could help explain how a 244 hitter w a 313 OBP can steal 70 bases in a year.

 

The points you all are making are very valid though. When Pods gets on the game is elevated to another level of excitement. Both the pitchers & catchers feel that pressure & have to be thinking in thier minds that there is ZERO room for error. When you become that tight on the mound or behind the plate you are more prone to mess up.

lol he reaches basicly on an error,  gets to third base on another error, than reaches home on another error.... got to love that.

 

When I got home from dropping my nephew off, Brian was telling me about that. What shocked me more was that he was listening to the Sox game while piddle-dicking around in the garage. Maybe my love of the Sox is wearing off on him... :huh: :headbang
