Do you think Len and Bob will put it together that we're doing all this late damage because we're actually making it into the other teams bullpens now? -
Cedeno 4 starter
-
He posted a 400+ OBP in Iowa. If he can do that, I don't really care how hard or where he's hitting the ball.
-
I also predict that Dusty will pick a reliever, abuse his arm mercilessly, and then demote him into a mop-up role due to ineffectiveness partially caused by pitching 12 times in 15 days. He will then repeat this cycle with a new reliever.

Little Lord Fontenot is more of an annoyance than a troll. Give the kid a break. -

which translated to a 4.7 warp. i'm not trying to be contrarian i just think thats interesting. WARP incorporates defense, and Neifi was one of the best defensive SS in baseball in 2005. Not to mention that a 4.7 warp isn't really 4.7 wins above a replacement level player. You'd be hard pressed to find anybody that actually matches their definition of replacement level. i'm aware of that, but it either means one of two things: 1) he was unfairly abused by the fans that year, or 2) warp is nonsense Not really. Perhaps the acronym is nonsense, but it has its uses... same as any other statistic. But I can see that you obviously don't let your limited grasp of the statistic influence your opinion towards it. -
Felix!!!

your still not going to get much playing time "You're" It's short for "you are", and it's what you should be using there.
-
I heart Ronny Cedeno.
-
It wasn't late... it was the third or fourth inning, I think.
-
Soto has looked a like he was trying to pull everything tonight...
-
fangraph must still think Braun hits home runs every at bat. Nope. Run expectancy in that situation is more than 1 run, and the Brewers have more outs left to work with.
-
For what its worth, it looked like the first base ump more than made up for the Soto call when he called Reyes out on that DP.
-
That's a funny name for an earthquake.
-
I'm getting the distinct impression that should the Cubs make it to the playoffs, I'm going to have to watch all the games in a bar... so I'm not tempted to hear the announcers trying to sell the mystical curse/black cat/bartman crap
-
Cedeno just missed that one...
-
6 groundouts 2 flyouts In this game Sweet. Thanks.
-
ARAMABOMB!!!
-
Hey Fred, do you happen to know what Z's groundball rate is?
-
Z is getting a little amped.
-
Ri-freaking-diculous
-
Another walk for Aramis. He's seeing the ball real well so far this season.

Damnit Lou...

DePo, Antonetti, or White -
Neat debate tactic you've got there. Mind if I try using it against you? ...ahem "My experiences say the exact opposite of the crap you're espousing. And, since I have no need of any data to back up my claim, don't even bother trying to contradict me." Not sure what to tell you. If you want to start documenting the incidents, be my guest. It's not a tactic - it's all I've got. Apparently, I'm not the only one noticing these things, am I? FergieJ31 pointed out that he's been going to games for 25 years and that he's noticed more incidents in the past 5 years by far. Care to call his point crap as well? I'm saying that our memories are far too tainted by selective perception or even just the passing of time to believe in anything so subjective as how fans behave in certain places... especially considering the small sample sizes involved. I mean, what are we talking about here? The 20 fans closest to you in a couple dozen ballgames spread out over 5 different parks? Let's be serious... that tells us absolutely nothing. If you chose to sit in the upper decks at wrigley, the bleachers, or those posh seats directly behind home plate, you'd come away with entirely different experiences. You, Fergie, myself, and even Marty simply aren't equipped to make very good judgments based on such random information.
