    128 ABs or 170 something, you're still talking a small sample size.

    pass. He's Gary Gaetti 2008 Disagree, I don't recall Gaetti playing this well in '98. While I think it's foolish to get too caught up in what Edmonds is doing...it's not completely out of the question to think about bringing him back. Gaetti put up a 154 OPS+ with the Cubs that year... .320 .397 .594

    You guys would never leave the casino when you're ahead...

    Let's not get carried away.

    At some point I'm going to have to convince myself that Edmonds really did figure out how to be good again and that this isn't a fluke.... Everytime I see him in the 5 spot, I cringe...until the game is on and he crushes another ball... wtf

    Is Ronny doing ok? Think he's just skipping this trip.

    Dead air wouldn't be a terrible replacement for Santo.... but Otto does sorta suck. Talks way too much.

    Disappointing to only get 2 runs out of that inning. Hopefully we'll have this guy on the ropes quite a bit more, though.

    It's sad that the most redeeming thing people can come up with in defense of Marquis is that he's average for a bad pitcher... Still, hope he pitches a decent one today.

    Take some pitches plz Sori... You seem to be doing more of that lately..
  11. David
    I'd sure rather have a "good" number five (bad pitcher) than an average number five (bad pitcher)

    To right center... good to hear

    Otto talks so freaking much that I'm getting the info on the pitches from Gameday before I am from the radio.

    Nice, Jimmy

    Oh well. At least we got their starter to throw like 20 pitches in the first inning of a double header.

    If you do not think that referring to others as stupid or ignorant because they do not understand something you might is condescending, I don't have much else to say. Come on. It's not an inability to understand. It's a flat out refusal to be open minded about things even when obvious common sense is presented. These aren't complex concepts that only certain people can grasp. It's simple and a lot of people just refuse to embrace it because it goes against what they've always believed (obviously, this idea goes beyond the W-L stat, baseball, sports, etc. and applies to many aspects of life)... So now it is your contention, unlike in the first quoted post where you stated these people are " stupid " or "ignoramuses ", that they are just stubborn ? It is now your contention that these ideas are not complex concepts that only a chosen few can understand ? That approach sounds much less condescending. Thank you. Ignorance has nothing to do with a lack of ability to comprehend or understand. It's the refusal to learn or to want to learn. At least, that's the way I use it. I didn't refer to the people as stupid, but the concepts they adhere to. But I could see how one could misunderstand that.

    The other day Steve Phillips said, on what is considered the premier baseball show on the premier sports network, that the Jason Bay trade was bad for the Red Sox because he was hitting .230 or something with RISP this year. There are countless things wrong with this statement that even a fan with a basic understanding of statistics would see. Or is Phillips just another exception like Joe Morgan? The fact is, fans are being spoonfed this crap over and over and people really believe it. Whether you choose to believe that it's because they're pandering to a certain common denominator or because they really don't know is up to you. And if you try to argue with those same fans, they'll just toss out the old, "I heard it on ESPN. They must be right, and you must be wrong." You can't even discuss things that way.

    If someone is taught all the facts about evolution and responds with some stupidity like, "Come on, there's no way we came from monkeys. If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys today?!" (I've heard someone make this exact argument, BTW)... it's not at all condescending to call that person a moron. Just IMO.
