Delmon Young

That could be the most absurd comment I've ever heard in the baseball forums considering Delmon hit more homeruns with the Twins in a much tougher park to hit bombs then he has with the Tigers! crazy

Also 2 home-runs and a .300 average does not make one the next Babe Ruth.

But now its Gardys fault... LMAO!

First off, I don't have the time to follow the stats so it took me a while to get around to looking it up. That said, I'm proud to be nominated for a preposterous statement. Too bad it's true though.

As a Twin, you pick out Delmon's anomaly year of 21 home runs to purport his greatness as a Twin. Delmon's average as a twin was less than 14 HR's per year. And I excluded his first year which would have lowered this stat even more while including the banner 21 year.

But the HR stat is a function of playing time and at bats so let's look at games played each year per home run. A lower number would mean more HR's per playing time.

As a Twin, he hit a HR about every 12.99 games played (including the odd 21 year, excluding his first year).

In the year and a third as a Tiger he hits a home run every 6.69 games played.

Next lets look at the year he was traded.

84 games played and count them, 4 home runs.

Put on a Tigers uniform and hits 8 HR's in the next 40 games.

Secondly, I didn't blame Gardy. I said it is his management style. It's the way he coaches. Under that style, a HR hitter is not needed. Mauer is a perfect fit for Gardy's style of baseball because neither of them are looking for the long ball. They just want on base percents through the roof.

So yeah, good for Young to be able to play for a team that will let him swing for the fences more often.

I always get a kick out of "he's getting nothing to hit" if you're not then take a walk, the plate dimensions haven't changed, here comes a heavy dose of curveballs tonight Delmon, Zito is going wow ? Big Park Barry so you have a shot, somehow I picture Prince splashing 1 in the ocean vs lefty tonight or not.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
