http://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dont_you_say_that_billy_madison.gif WE CAN HAVE ENJOYED TWO THINGS. i saw the last post first with this one embedded into your response and i misread it as having come from you. i was shocked at the dose of realism. now everything makes sense again. Just let the people love!

Or look at it this way (since Castro already came up): his streaky offensive production is being killed by both BR and FG saying he's having the worst defensive year of his career. But I do a quick Google search looking for Yankee blogs or boards griping about his defense and I seemingly can't find anything. I'd think that if he's THAT much worse defensively you'd think people would be up in arms; he got plenty of horsefeathers from Cubs' fans even when his defense was fine, and that rep definitely seemed to be something he was known for, so you'd think fans of his new team would basically be anticipating him to suck in the field. So what's so much worse this year? More errors? Worse range? As shitty as I am at advanced metrics to begin with, the defensive ones just make me feel completely lost.

eh, like you alluded to in the article, the Starlin Castro experience (which i still remember more fondly than i probably ought to) kind of taught us that no ground ball should be taken for granted Oh, sure. I'm just saying that it is hard to quantify exactly how often that happens. We know he's made a lot. But, exactly how many of them are balls another guy isn't getting? For instance, we've seen a number of plays that Zobrist has just come up short on this year. And people make a comment about how Addi or Javy would have had it. But, do we really know that? And how many of them actually are happening that way? Statcast is going to be able to help us figure that out. I can't help but think that defensive metrics feel a bit like sorcery and medieval divining at times. Like I see Soler look terrible in the OF and, like you said, say something like "oh, Heyward would have had that, no problem," and then if you try and figure out WHY you feel like you know that it just comes down to, "I just know, OK?!?" So much of it just feels like continual confirmation bias.

Aw, and he wasn't on a phone for the foul ball truthers to complain about. Though I guess now they'll just move on to "IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT IF YOU TALK DURING THE GAME."

I predict that within 100 years David will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger and so expensive that only the five richest kings in Europe could own him.

But what are your thoughts on tattoos?

A lot of the Twitter links do the same thing, too. As far as I can tell I have all of the right scripts allowed.

Weird; your post just has the address and doesn't load the image for me.

Even Dodgers Lilly thinks that was a dumb loss: http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/248/331/141181474e77b9c2074c53a532083b01_crop_north.jpg?w=630&h=420&q=75

he got 34 over a span of 2 years. and one of the years, it was 17 wins on a 5.00 ERA (90 ERA+) And still was a 3.2 fWAR player that year. Ballllllllllllllllllller.

Just think of all of the other things you could be reading instead.

Because the Cubs, the team we are fans of, keep winning. This is a good thing.
