That's all you're going to base defense on? You make it too easy to refute your claims when you focus on one stat

And everything else, Trout smokes Puig's numbers across the board in both their first years

Defensive numbers, Baserunning big advantage Trout weak arm or not

and hitting is fairly comparable though

The article I read on SI online had 9 stats! Not just one! It was BA, OBP, SLG, etc. I chose to believe him for the first 69 games, which was about a week or so ago. Don't really give a shit quite honestly. Just thought it was interesting.

I'll still take Trout for his defense and team player.

Trout had one OF putout, and Puig had 7.

I'm talking about your response to defense

I'm assuming thats counting those 1st 40 games Trout played as a 19 year old, don't forget Trout is a year younger than Puig and debuted 3 years before him

That's pretty bold. Me thinks you undervalue holland.

Not at all. He said Perez would be better than Holland in three years. I said I would take that in a heartbeat. How is that anything but a compliment to Dutch?

Combined 7 hits thru 7 for the A's and O's. Parker and Tillman are are on!

They seem to be on. Will be battle of the pens soon.

There's an article on FoxSports now - orginally reported on CBS Sports - about how tense/frustrating the situation in Anaheim (not to be confused with LA) is and has been for at least 2 seasons! It's worth a quick read.

They gave the A's an out. Having Machado bunt was a terrible call.

My statement was in response to this.

\/\/\/

To be honest I still get jitters when Holland is pitching, always wondering which Dutch turned up, a true ace should not conjure up such fears.

Crisp just hammered one over the RF fence.

 

[pegasusredleg]

Tilman pitched a gem and Hunter on one pitch ruined it.

Damn It! Our old Ranger - Darren O'Day just gave up the lead to the A's in the 9th!

If they can't get Balfour it is up to Feldman tomorrow

Does every stadium do the civil rights game? I don't ever recall that happening here at RBIA.
