Running MLB Thread, Part the Fourth, 2007

From your fingers to God's keyboard, pallister.

 

Because it's the sporting thing to do? I don't know. If all he's going to do is hit a homer when you're up 7-0, why wouldn't you pitch to him?

 

Because fuck him, that's why.

 

Well there is that, yes.

 

I agree. As great as Justin has played this week, Torii has really gotten the big hits for his team this year.

 

Thought when a pitch bounces, that shouldn't count as far as an HBP if it hits the batter . . . . . .

 

For sake of comparison

BA OBP SLG R RBI HR 3B 2B SB

Hunter .309 .344 .580 29 41 11 0 16 8

Morneau .291 .367 .587 34 39 15 1 9 0

 

Closer than I thought it was.

Torii's Grand Slams have boosted those RBI totals.

 

No need to remind me.

 

Talking of MVP candidates, Vlad Guerrero should be right up there.

.335 avg, 1.045 OPS, 10 HR, 15 2B, 40 RBI and remarkably a 30/17 BB/K ratio.

 

I nominate absolutely no one from the White Sox.

 

Vlad
Arod
Sizemore?
Magglio?
Morneau?

Red Sox production has been really even...
