  1. I hate that argument so much. How many times have there been guys who are awesome in BP but can't do anything in game situations? Ichiro could not be a power hitter, not a good one at least.
  2. He practiced his cutter grip every morning while eating cereal with the other hand.
  3. McCarver mentions Sizemore in the same sentence, but still says that Lee has helped the Indians more than anyone else in that trade. He's off to a great start.
  4. You spend a half hour introducing us to baseball legends, and you let...........George Steinbrenner deliver the baseballs?
  5. Poor Molitor is out there by himself. Couldn't they have put Eddie Murray out there?
  6. Don Sutton is a dead ringer for Willy Wonka-era Gene Wilder.
  7. Soto is awesome in that pic. And could they put any more flowery language into that intro? "A cathedral of baseball"?
  8. I don't think there is a "right" when it comes to an Alex Gonzalez.
  9. Ain't no party like a Utah party.
  10. Baseball Prospectus has it on the individual player pages. If you're looking for league leader type stuff and you don't have a BP subscription, Hardball Times has Gross Production Average(GPA) which is similar(although I'm not sure if it's more like EqA or wOBA).
  11. A real opportunity for someone to capitalize on everything that could be great about BBTN. Memo to MLB Network people: we want to see what happens, not what ex-players think about what happens.
  12. You don't think there's more surface area with a glove to stop a ball? What I'm saying is that if your reaction time is so small that you can't get both hands up, then you're not going to get the glove up unless you're poised and ready to react like an infielder(which no one is while they're watching the game).
  13. I read somewhere that the Cubs coaching is saying that he is hidding the ball better...whatever that means. I guess if you can't see it, you can't hit. Maybe it means he was tipping his pitches before and that's been corrected now. Sounds more like a motion-thing to me. Like the batter can't see the ball until later in his motion. Seems like that could make a pretty decent difference. That was one of the big things in Hill's emergence when he first came up. His 89-91 mph fastball wasn't visible until the last possible moment, giving it the reaction time of a heater several mph faster(especially coupled with a slow curve). Sounds like the same thing with Samardzija.
  14. http://www.baseball-intellect.com/Articles/rich-harden-trade.html
  15. That was my first thought, why would Jones want to go there?
  16. I was going to keep track of how many awkward or inappropriate comments Sutcliffe made, but I needed a calculator by the 2nd inning.
  17. Not a real big fan of Marte. He's had a decent career, but he's close to his total IP from last year already, and he's been inconsistent year to year before as well.
  18. You shut your mouth with your logic and level-headedness. The sky is obviously falling. These types of posts get old. No one said anything about the sky falling. It's perfectly ok to be upset when a promising young pitcher has to undergo Tommy John. 2 out of the first 4 posts in response implied his career was over.
