  1. You're welcome. You learned something today, re: plate appearances vs. at-bats. That is my gift to you.
  2. 1) Mike Olt appeared in the major leagues before this year 2) Plate appearances are not the same thing as at-bats 3) Age matters 4) *retracted*
  3. Man I sure a glad my team's future isn't betting on pitching.
  4. Ah crap, Mike Olt is becoming a thing again among Cubs fans. This is going to be maddening all off-season. I almost want him to get a September call-up just so when he flails again, maybe he'll finally go away as anything other than an 8th infielder stashed in AAA.
  5. Longoria's rookie year has long been my go-to dream for Bryant in 2015.
  6. Which sucked, because I liked the idea: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=12085 :(
  7. I learned that last week when a fake tweeter sent him to us for James Russell
  8. http://37.media.tumblr.com/df416058e51ea70715a86866c48abe0a/tumblr_mqrkqwbn8g1r67id1o1_250.gif
  9. You can laugh all you want. It cheapens everything. You can't tell me you don't have that nagging doubt every time there's an awesome play where the guy gets within five feet of the sideline.
  10. Is this true? I thought it had been pretty well disproven. BP retracted Secret Sauce
  11. Fake rally score ... 4/10. Nobody cares now that Javy K'd
  12. Coghlan needs to man up and get himself run. No half-measures.
  13. In this scenario, we're kids whose parents always promise us they are going to get the candy-bar next door and then when we get there it turns out they were lying.
  14. They should have zero chance because they shouldn't be in the playoffs at all. You know what's the worst? teams west of St. Louis
  15. The best team had a chance to advance by winning the division. Nobody cares if the best team advances in the wild-card round. The four wild card WS winners since it's implementation in 1994 probably care. Which is pretty statistically appropriate to support the "crapshoot" ideology. All the more reason for a scenario that gives the best chance the best WC team advances. I realize it's still a crapshoot. I also realize it's a matter of opinion. My opinion is that the WC team has as a chance to win the WS as any other team. Take an extra day or two to allow for the nature of one game anomalies. You are the Digger Phelps of playoff-format opinions.
  16. I had no opinion whatsoever on Digger Phelps until today, and now I hate him so much.
  17. And now he's brought up the 2003 Marlins. This guy is the Hitler of 7th-inning stretch interviews.
  18. Who is this idiot in the booth rambling about LeBron James not playing college ball?
  19. I'm nervous that the Angels or god-forbid the A's lose the wild-card game this year and the resulting media stupid hysteria ruins this awesome playoff setup.
  20. The best team had a chance to advance by winning the division. Nobody cares if the best team advances in the wild-card round.
