    Who on this board didn't expect a bit of a letdown today?

    There aren't that many vowels in there to begin with; don't take more out!

    I only go there when I want to discover a new virus to put on my computer.

    Yikes. New guy has 18 posts and half of them are defending pitcher W/L record. Also, maybe I read this wrong, but it sounded like you were addressing the Blyleven comment as if his win total was an overestimation of his abilities. It is, of course, a gross underestimation because the man played on some of the worst teams in baseball for the majority of his career and all that's keeping him out of the HOF is his inability to reach a completely arbitrary number of a meaningless counting stat.

    bert blyleven wanted me to tell you that wins are meaningless

    On SportsCenter today. He, Steve Phillips and Ravech's BBTN successor (can't remember the name) are discussing NL Cy Young candidates. The conversation spirals into Kruk arguing that if Webb wins his next four starts, he should get the nod with what would be 23 wins. I'll paraphrase from here: Ravech jr: But John, you can't give it to him solely based on wins; it's a team stat John Kruk: Yeah but ALL stats are team stats! MVP is a team stat! RBIs are a team stat- RJ (interrupting Kruk): But what about on base percentage and slugging- Kruk (shouting): THEY ALL DEPEND ON THE TEAM AROUND THEM! RBI IS A TEAM STAT BECAUSE NO ONE CAN CONTROL WHO GETS ON BASE IN FRONT OF THEM! They shout at each other for a little while and it became unintelligible. Kruk gets in the last word by rolling his eyes and calling RJ "Mr. Sabermetrician." I had always suspected that Ravech knew a ton more about baseball than either of those knuckleheads and it seems the new guy is no different. The moral of this story is that John Kruk is stupid.

    maybe 70, honestly. a 120 pound closer with a violent delivery and numbers trending the wrong way? where do i sign? I would agree with the 7 not 70...The guys numbers might be getting worse, but getting 55 saves means your doing something right. not to the tune of 15mm per, it doesn't

    It helps that the Brewers are among the league leaders in IP by starters (meaning their bullpen has thrown fewer innings than just about everyone else), but I agree that it seems to be pretty unsustainable. There's something to be said about winning close games, but 24 of their 74 wins being by 1 run is pretty ridiculous. And maybe I'm being a bit of a homer here (and feel free to call me out on it if this is silly) I think you've been far from a homer. I have actually enjoyed reading the objectivity in your posts, and I hope you continue to share with this board. werd

    He's also been one of the luckiest players in the majors, crappy LD% notwithstanding. Happy about his isoD though

    what does the author mean by "vertical rise?"
  16. javy knows my name
    I noticed this quite a bit earlier in the season. The adjustment would make sense if he's trying to pull the ball more (as it probably makes him quicker through the zone), but we all know he would rather hit weak bloopers to shallow RF.

    I chuckled. So Hamilton's heroin addiction was about the best thing to happen to the Reds/Rangers in the last ten years or so. Awesome.

    the beer they brew Ha... fair enough (hey, I'm from St. Louis). Although damned if I don't love a good PBR, because I am a douchey hipster (it's really not a Milwaukee beer anymore, but whatever). You should try Lakefront beer. It's the only good beer in Milwaukee.

    how can carlos lee, brian giles and renteria not be on this list? I don't hate any of those other guys. HM to augie ojeda
  20. javy knows my name
    I figured all these guys would be in the same league. You know, like the title suggested. Webb and Haren and the choice wasn't particularly difficult.
  21. javy knows my name
    What does this even mean? I was expecting a good ole fth!? type response to that one and you didn't disappoint
  22. javy knows my name
    I want to know if the other guy was being serious or not
  23. javy knows my name
    this is unbelievably ignorant if sincere
  24. javy knows my name
    So we want him to be a late inning, defensive replacement for Lee? Im thinking vice versa. what in the
  25. javy knows my name
