mind blowing Twins stat

[DJH]

Jose Bautista at Target Field: 7 games, 6 HR
Mauer/Morneau combined at Target Field: 129 games, 5 HR




Minnesota is just awful this year.

[TwinTownBisonFan]

worse yet - the Twins are pacing for 105 losses. their worst record in franchise history.

[AZGrizFan]

And people say Mauer isn't overrated.....

[DJH]

Hey dumbass, he hasn't been playing this year.

[AZGrizFan]

Hey dumbass, he hasn't been playing this year.

Hey dumbass, that doesn't make him NOT overrated.

[DJH]

Me: Twins are bad this year.
Him: Proof that Mauer is overrated.
Me: He hasn't been playing.
Him: So.

Hey dumbass, he hasn't been playing this year.

Hey dumbass, that doesn't make him NOT overrated.

Yeah....terribly overrated.

Last season the only stat he didn't lead the league in, or what top 2 or 3, (hitting for catchers) was HR's. In fact the only catcher who was ever close to him offensively was Buster Posey - who has yet to prove he can do it year in and year out.

You're just butt hurt because you took Mauer in a fantasy league thinking he would get you 25 home runs last season, and he didn't....yet he put up .327 BA, .402 OBP, .469 Slugging, .871 OPS, he was an All-Star, won the AL Gold Glove for the third straight year, and won the Silver Slugger (for the 4th time in 5 seasons).

Comparing him to other players with similar stats...these are the most similar players...1000 is a perfect match 900 is a 90% match, etc...

Yogi Berra (867) *
Tony Lazzeri (855) *
Joe Torre (850)

(I would like to add that Jeter is a HOFer, Kendall should be, and Cano very well could be if he continues through his career.)
Yep...he is tur-uh-bull

You guys are like shooting fish in a barrel...

Joe Mauer is the single reason why the Twins will suck for the next 6 years.

8 years, $186 million. He's the Alex Rodriguez of the Twins...

[TwinTownBisonFan]

9 straight losses... worse since 98... smh...

[Shellin]

9 straight losses... worse since 98... smh...

Thank goodness we got to play you guys (with Pineda yesterday and then Felix today), we had a 6 game losing streak of our own going into yesterday's game. Also, looking at the standings...a (-93) run differential already, holy cow. This year's Twins are basically last year's Mariners, except you don't have Felix (or Cliff Lee for half a year).

[citdog]

Fucking kent hrbeck

Pineda for AL Rookie of the Year.

Twins avoid the shame and embarrassment of a 10 game losing streak last night with Liriano outdueling King Felix.
