Whatever - this is awesome! Psyched for next year, and sounds like the roster is too.

"cracking, uh, tumbling the numbers of uh, a safe...tillman, I mean, uh, gausman"

Bespekkled? You mean bespectacled? Good grief Ripken.

1K on 16 is fine dude

The worst part about us making the NLCS every year in the future is going to be subjugation to TBS.
-
Just glad this game didn't get rained out! Radar looked bad earlier. Anyway - man, who says defense isn't important!
-
Baez loses a ton of value if he's moved from 2B to the OF

Baseball is all about individual matchups so I think that lends to more mental mistakes and advantages. why would you think that) seriously?

Doesn't look good.

The mistake you're making is that thinking that these things somehow are inherently opposed by numbers and probabilities and that doing them is always in conflict with them. And if it actually were the case, which it's not, then it would always be wrong to do them. Yea, I can agree with that mostly.

I am really stupid AND disappointed. :( I thought the ALCS G1 was tonight.
-
I 100% believe there is a psychology and sociology to the game. I also believe this in other sports on some level, but I feel like it strongly affects baseball.
-
I like bunting and stolen bases sometimes, that's all. Don't kill me. :beg:
-
That things in baseball aren't 100% right or wrong - or always quantifiable
-
I'm already on the cross for Seinfeld....what more respect can I lose on this board? lol. I swear I'm not THAT crazy.
-
Trust me I'm not Eckstein or Kirk Gibson. But I don't TOTALLY dismiss it either. Baseball is a super mental game, the most of any major sport.
-
How are there no lineups 45 minutes before first pitch?
-
I'm just terrified with Baez now. I can easily see a black hole .270 OBP from him.
-
I just find the grit vs sabr stuff really silly - there's truth in both sides.
-
There's nothing wrong at all with bunting in the right context. But there's also terrible bunts - like that 3-1 count that Kalhoun bunted on in the ALDS. Why does it have to be a black and white thing...? Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn't.
