to be fair to lee, i think that's something i'd do if i was a pro baseball player

i'm guessing he faked the throw into the crowd

crowd booing carlos lee, what happened

6-3 dp

sure those aren't strikes, blue?

haha and boyd doesn't call the pitch down the middle

i hate this umpire

barry zito vs. right handed batters: .662 OPSA barry zito vs left handed batters: .733 OPSA

i'm winning!!!!

santana is by far the best pitcher in the league. he should be paid as such.

Considering it adjusts for eras and the latest craze is to accuse anyone who played baseball between 1985 and now of steroid abuse, I'd say it does. :D Does it adjust for watching film available now of the opposing pitcher before a game? what?

Ernie Banks is making a comeback? WHER!? Banks: .274/.330/.500 (avg/obp/slg) Sammy: .274/.345/.537 ( " " ) Banks: 512 HR Sammy: 589 HR Sosa edges Banks..not by much..but he does. Banks - played in the deadball era. Sammy - didnt. EQA adjusts for era and ballpark, etc. banks: .288 sosa: .294

yes, yes he is unstoppable. he made wilkerson look really stupid

you'll feel stupid if he blows a save

Stupid central time. I thought the game started now, but it's 1pm CT. Everyone should post in eastern time, the only time zone that matters

It's insane what you can do on that site. Let's say I want to know the most games in a row where Adam Dunn got a strikeout. Using baseball-reference, I'd know that from 9-22-2004 to 4-7-2005 Adam Dunn went 14 straight games getting a strikeout! Or maybe I wanted to know which pitcher has given up the most sacrafice flies to Michael Barrett. Using br, I'd know that it's Russ Ortiz! Do you know what pitcher Craig Biggio has been hit by the most? Pedro Astacio hit him 7 times in his career! Who has intentionally walked Barry Bonds the most? Greg Maddux! Who has caused Juan Pierre to groundout to 2B the most? Russ Ortiz The site is simply amazing.

murton isn't that great for fantasy baseball, he's very droppable.

no, but was definitely a STEROIDS no doubter

it's easy to find the stats. just go to baseball-reference.com and you'll get more baseball information than you'll ever need. it's an amazing site.

it wasn't me. my stats loving little brother was on my account.

I NEVER want to see Murton catch. If you think Barrett is bad, I'd bet Murton would be worse. Murton would catch better that Barrett because Matt has one thing that Michael never will: Heart. The cold steel and silicon of a computer can't compare with the 10 ounces of veiny muscle beating in Murton's chest. murton doesn't have heart. he's heartless and spineless. real men swing and don't clog bases.

no i don't believe all players produce equally during clutch situations. i think better hitters produce better in clutch situations than worse hitters. i don't think arod is worse than average in clutch situations. i think every time he does fail (appx 65-70% of the time) it gets way overblown, and when he does succeed, it tends to be forgotten. for what it's worth, here's arod's "clutch" splits. they're pretty close to what his career numbers are, which i think tends to be the case for most players.

i love derosa now, and but readily admit i will hate him when he goes on a cold streak
