  1. Absolutely rooting for the Pirates
  2. Now, you could use this interesting experience to add some unique and thoughtful analysis to our discussion here, or you could be an [expletive] about it. Guess which one you've decided to do
  3. For some reason, I'm thinking of the movie Mean Girls right now...
  4. He's staring really piss me off. He's getting troll-y
  5. I'm probably going to end up killing this guy
  6. This guy doesn't seem to realize that walks relating from all those different causes (wild pitchers, unintentional intentional walk, good pitch selection by the hitter) are going to normalize over the course of a freaking month, not to mention a whole year or minor league career. I appreciate the scout-like deconstruction of a PA, but I have a feeling this guy has no concept of sample size at all and thinks a lot with his "gut." On another note, nsbb is killing it lately. A couple really good discussions going right now.
  7. This thread just got superawesome. Didn't see that coming.
  8. This is the craziest damn thing I've ever read:
  9. I'm dying to go to PNC. I haven't been to too many parks, but that one is still at the top of the list.
  10. I'm so bored with watching Ortiz in the HR derby. Get some new blood for the AL
  11. Cano could not possibly be swinger harder right now. It's like he's never watched a derby before. Good thing you can build on round one this days.
  12. I actually thought I liked this guy
  13. Didn't take long to snatch the doom and gloom from the jaws of optimism here. And Jersey didnt even have anything to do with it
  14. The Red Sox are a very well-run team. Garza is a very good, cheap baseball player. Breaking news from Phil Rogers
  15. What do you mean good for him? In a variety of ways. He's constantly taking to him, and Starlin seems to listen. Especially after an error. Starlin seems like the kid who could get mistakes in his head and barney talks him off the wall. Does anyone else see this or am I making it up? Their rapport on the double play still makes me stand up and get excited occasionally. ETA I originally mistyped Starlin as Stalin. Stalin Castro. You are indeed making this up. If Starlin were such a mental midget, he wouldn't have ascended through our system so quickly (or at all), wouldn't be improving his defense seemingly every day, wouldn't have hit a 3-run HR in his major league debut, etc, etc... Barney's very good defensively. Just stick to that, because that's more than pure speculation on your part. And this smacks of some Kaplan-like justification to keep the white guy so that the latin guys stay on task. No thank you.
  16. He has a very traditional mindset and is a big fan of small ball principles - meaning we'd likely see a relatively large amount of sac bunts/steal attempts/etc. He also appears to buy into the myths of Aramis being lazy, Z being a headcase being a huge negative, gritty, terrible baseball players are awesome, that kind of stuff. Similar arguments to those against Ryno managing this year. I actually think Len is rubbing off on him a little bit, as he doesn't espouse those ideas with nearly the frequency that he used to. That said, it's not a great indication of what he'd do at the helm. Pretty much guaranteed that he'd revert back to his previous managerial style and run into outs and praise grit above all.
  17. Since that is sarcasm, that's pretty funny
  18. Man, we seem to hold our own against Lincecum, but we always get worked by Cain.
  19. He and K Law can both be really dry sometimes. And very critical. That was funny, though.
  20. I see 5, where were the other 3? Meh
  21. I really want to see someone photoshop a Castro spray chart
  22. Welcome. I was gonna give you [expletive] for announcing yourself, but you're a batboy, and that's pretty cool.
