    oh im sorry, i didnt mean any of that post literally. i forgot all this is hard for you. i was making fun of you for getting yourself banned from the social forum. ill be more clear in the future, apologies
  2. imb
    definitely a better place for it than the minor league forum. why dont you join me there and we can continue oh horsefeathers you cant post there? why what happened
  3. imb
    please dont believe this success came easily. i had to rise above 2 decades of poverty to begin my lucrative local nonprofit journalism career. grinding bad posters down on here is merely a leisure activity. now for the rest of your post, im not sure why you always respond to me with some nonsense about ticket prices but people really enjoy it. im gonna go put my kids to bed real quick, have fun with your action figures

    tom, please relax. i read that guys in their 50s shouldn't get this stressed and angry. maybe go relax with your wife and kids. Ahh, yes, I forgot. Ok back to posting about 28 year old minor league catchers. Good luck, see you tomorrow.

    hmmm hmm hmm. ill tell ya tom, everyone loves when you say the stupidest thing anyone has ever heard on here 5 times a day then resort to these weird crashouts every time someone disagrees. It's going great for you!
  9. imb
    sorry but no. im right and you're wrong. but keep trying youre gonna get one one day. Any Gallardo highlights to show us

    Shota and Steele both disappoint and each serves multiple phantom IL stints Hoerner has a great season when he comes back from injury Suzuki gets 30 bombs Brewers win the division

    Let me correct you here. It’s actually because he hasn’t hit at all yet. Once.

    thats great, let us know when Hearn accomplishes even that minor feat!

    we've been saying that about milwaukee for a decade now almost and while it's assuredly true now (and was then) the fact that it hasn't actually happened yet pisses me off enough that i'll just believe it when it finally happens

    ???? I’m not sure you even know what you’re saying at this point but good luck with figuring out if sliding into first base is faster or whatever you’re after sir!

    so you've gone to all this effort to conclude that some hitters should swing for contact, some should swing for power, and ultimately the approach should be situational. impressive
  20. imb
    when its finished that will be by far the nicest stadium in the championship
  21. imb
    lmao what a horsefeathers dork

    the entire discussion is about micro or macro we're trying to figure out the age old question of if a strikeout is worse than a different type of out. (It's a false premise.) youre looking at the micro - a single at bat that ends in a strikeout - and using that outcome to try and determine a much larger question. Sure there are situations where you'd rather that one at bat end in weak contact rather than a K for the reasons you've described - maybe you force an error, maybe you bloop into a hit. But that same hitter that just struck out is going to come to the plate 699 more times that season. if that one single strikeout was the result of an approach that leads to more hard contact and more xbh, or if that one strikeout was the result of an approach where the batter is trying to see more pitches, leading to more walks and more hard contact on mistake pitches, over the course of a year, that's far more important and valuable than one individual at bat over the course of 162.

    well, you're taking micro issue - a single at-bat - and using it to justify a take on a macro position, if a strikeout is worse than bad contact (or however we're framing it.) And you just can't do that. Is a strikeout worse than bad contact? Depends on the situation.

    I see a little number 1 poking out on that jersey. definitely thinking Dejesus (#11)

    That one bellhorn season was so fun. We were all so new to sabr concepts so walks were like the extent of our knowledge. And here comes this unheralded three true outcomes switch hitter out of nowhere. Fun season
