  1. RBI is not meaningless. When it comes to evaluating an individual player's performance, yes, it pretty much is. because the stats show that batters are no better in "clutch" situations than in "nonclutch" situations. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=AiOdIGbve4WS2MzSUeKPdn6FCLcF http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=AtxcXjhol3bdxrEebElBtkCFCLcF?year=2006&type=Batting http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=Amw.C6HHjgFt5wyeyBBVp1iFCLcF?year=2005&type=Batting http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=Aki4QRrJIYdEN9f6.fHIaI.FCLcF?year=2004&type=Batting accept the stats show Aramis is better in clutch situations year after year. It's simply a statistical anomaly. No correlation has ever been shown in any player, ever. It's completely random. Umm, he just showed a direct correlation with Aramis. except once again, its an anomaly. BA with RISP isn't a predictive stat.
  2. Bone cancer my ears decieve me i guess.
  3. boo Not Vance. oh great he has lung cancer. im going to hell.
  4. In terms of a player's ability, what do you think RBI quantifies? Ability to be patient, to wait for a good pitch and get hits with RISP. OBP can also measure plate patience, as well as P/PA I know this isn't a popular opinion on here, but RBI's are meaningless why? Because Billy Beane says so? because a player has no control over whether or not the guy in front of him gets on.
  5. RBI is not meaningless. When it comes to evaluating an individual player's performance, yes, it pretty much is. So if there was a player the Cubs acquired who had 125 RBI last season, you wouldn't think that would be meanginful? as far as at the end of the day, meaningful for the outcome of the W-L record, it would be. But if a team playing on the royals didnt have as many RBI's as a guy on the yankees it means nothing if your comparing who is a better individual player.
  6. I'd say any one of Soriano, Lee, and Ramirez would qualify.
  7. RBI is not meaningless. its meaningless when you talk about individual performance.
  8. hahhah the "big 3" all have hr'd off duke, like a previous poster had foreshadowed.
  9. worse. i was expecting great numbers because of the end of last year, and the beginning of this one. But i still think going forward, he has at least #2 capability.
  10. hill's control is lacking today
  11. getting hot at the right time is nice.
  12. Jazz

    NFL Week Two

    i can't really motivate myself to post there for some reason. I like the one thread here more.
  13. under further review, i believe he was out.
  14. i like the brewers offense alot more than the cubs, as it seems way less streaky. But the pitching is really no contest cubs ++. Overall, its about a push, so the deciding factor's would be the pen. Not sure where to go that way.
