    I know it's been said before, but that is the worst thread in the history of message boards. I'm still reeling how he praised Griffey for getting an out than ripped Dunn for hitting a HR because it wasn't in a crucial situation. I mean.... I don't know. I have no words.

    They were picked in the same draft. Patterson was No. 3 overall and Pierre was picked in the 13th round. They had same amount of minor league experience. No argument there, Pierre is a leadoff hitter. That explains half a season. The correct answer is that Corey was terrible a lot of the time while Pierre was good. The difference is about 1300 AB's. Because they didn't really start in the same year, you're including a full year of Pierre's at bats compared to Patterson's september callup, which is a difference of at least 600. Patterson missed about 450 at bats when he tore his ACL. And he was so bad last year that he got about 150 at bats fewer than a normal player should. That's about 1200, with the remainder due to Pierre's batting order spot and other unrelated factors. Of course, all of this goes without saying that using their career at bats to determine what you are is fallacious, and that even in Pierre's good years Patterson has been as good if not better.

    Corey had 2,176 career ABs coming into this season, Pierre had 3,411. And why did Pierre get more AB's during that time? Because he's two years older, spent just about all his time at the leadoff spot, and didn't tear his ACL. And they really didn't break in during the same year. Patterson was a september callup that got 42 at bats. Pierre played 50 games and had 200 AB's, much more similar to Patterson's 2001.

    Stupid work. I should be able to see a little under half the game at lunch, but it's going to kill me not seeing the end, especially if it's close.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    that's got to be the shadiest unearned run in history, nevermind that it should've been on Ross.
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    That means the actual number is around 30 or so.

    People who need an excuse not to like him, and have no other proof besides the (unfortunatley) accepted myth that he is a poor defender. Walker is a poor defender, that's no myth. He's a poor defender if you compare him to guys like Castillo/Hudson/Igauchi/, but with other 2B, Walker a mere average defender. He does the job at 2b, IMO, and that is all that counts. No, he's pretty easily below average. By all accounts, I love having him on the team, and his bat more than makes up for any defensive shortcomings, but let's not fight hyperbole with hyperbole. Walker's decidedly below average as a defender.

    No, he doesn't. He's not without heat though, he consistently touches the low 90's.

    I'm sure he was already up and warming once Ohman retired Lopez in the 7th. Especially with Griffey and Dunn to follow. Makes sense for him to come into the game in that spot. There's plenty of time to get Guzman up during the last half inning, it was 6-2 after the first HR, and 8-2 after the second HR with only one out. Besides today, he's only pitched once in this series and that was on Friday. He'll be fine. Today makes twice in4 games by my count. I don't doubt that. I care about Guzman, who's going to rot away if he's not even going to be used in situations like this.

    Last year, Fox was coming back from injury and wasn't able to pitch several days in a row. That fact was lost on Dusty, who threw him 3 times in 4 days(64 total pitches) and he threw his arm out for good on that last outing. I'm not defending Dusty or anything, but Fox did say he told Dusty he could go and pitch that night he blew his elbow for good. Of course he did, everyone tells the manager they can keep going. EDIT: Forgot to mention that the Cubs were winning 10-3 in the 9th when Fox came into that game.

    Portugal was pretty unlucky too, with chances like the Ronaldo header and Ronaldo's strike off the ground ball you're going to score a goal a lot of times.

    Is it like 1.500 against RHP? Geez. Well, it's in the .950's overall, so I'm guessing it's about .900

    Dunn now has a 1.056 OPS against LHP for the year.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Eyre's now pitched in 4 of 5 games. It's a blowout, let Angel pitch por favor.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Pierre's OPS up to .584!!!! This is the week he gets to .600, I just know it.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Guzman for the last 2 innings plz
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    haha, Ronaldo LOVES to dribble and according to Tommy Smyth, "has more moves than Mariah Carey"
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Figo creates a goal with an impressive burst. And this PBP guy's accent may be too much for me.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger

  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Milton almost all the way to giving up 3 consecutive hits to the trifecta of awfulness.
