yeah i was being dumb but it is true that league strikeout rate is at an all time high at the same time as defensive improvements are the hot front-office thing. i doubt it's a coincedence that scoring is down in such an environment.

a 12-pt slug decrease is the most surprising. I wonder how much of that is Target Field, 4 points?
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 July 2010 14:43 (thirteen years ago) link
is target really playing as a petco-like park?

I don't know, I assume Mauer isn't the only one who's suffering post-Metrodome. And power at New Yankeeland is down from last year?

b-ref has target at about neutral

Twins at home slugging .429 this year -- .448 last year.
― Andy K, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 14:48 (thirteen years ago) link
how much of that is mauer's fluke season last year though?
― It's like normal life except you power up by peeing (ciderpress), Tuesday, 27 July 2010 14:49 (thirteen years ago) link
mauer's not a HR hitter and isn't gonna suddenly start hitting 25 a year just because of one lucky season

Twins road slugging this year is .431 -- .411 last year.

Morrow's Game Score was the highest of 2010 (100, two points ahead of Halladay's perfect game)
137 pitches though, yikes

what is game score
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 8 August 2010 20:16 (thirteen years ago) link
i think it's an espn thing. they basically rate every start a pitcher makes. where did you get the game score for Morrow so quickly tho?!
― oreo speed wiggum (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 8 August 2010 20:30 (thirteen years ago) link
oh, i see it there in the espn box score.

I don't follow the AL much, so I was pretty blown away to see what Carl Pavano was up to this year...criminy talk about coming out of the woods.

what was weird was the A's fans booing an error getting scored that way last inning. sort of classless.

1-hit complete game. still not bad.

Slowey's 7 innings of no-hit ball yesterday was also against the A's - two straight games they have nearly been no-hit.
