  1. Wow, that was an incredible play by Sam Fuld.
  2. Big day for DLee, hell big month. Hopefully it continues into the postseason.
  3. Oh now that's just ridiculous. Wow! I can't wait for him to get national exposure next month.
  4. I know it has been said many times, but my God... Marmol's stuff is so nasty. I love watching him pitch.
  5. This is completely your opinion and miles and miles away from being fact. How? If you know that Ramirez was good with RISP in 2004, good with RISP in 2005, good with RISP in 2006, and good with RISP in 2007, you're telling me that you can't logically conclude that he'll be good with RISP in 2008? While I do agree with that statement (we can't logically conclude that at all), what I'm really telling you is that you can't just arbitrarily conclude what a good sample size is. So what sort of sample size would you like to see? How many years must Aramis do well with RISP before you're fine with the sample size to say that it's not just random?

  7. Agreed, there's no reason to take him out right now unless he asked to be removed.
  8. Four years is a weak basis for establishing a strong correlation. His career numbers tend to show that he hits only a tick better with RISP. It's not too weak when he's only been the player that he is for four years. Over the last four years, he's been a completely different player than what he was with Pittsburgh, I think that's pretty obvious. As for your second point... only a tick? With RISP, his OBP is 40 points higher and his SLG is 50 points higher. That's not exactly a tick, that's pretty significant. As Ender just said, 4 years isn't a lot. Not when you have over a century worth of baseball. I'm not talking about players in general though, I'm talking about one player. So yes, when you have one player who's been at the same level for four years, it's a perfectly fine sample size. You don't need to look at 100 years worth of data to find something out about one guy. There you go, Jacque. Edit: Jacque? Wow, not sure where that came from.
  9. You know you're low on the totem pole when you're pinch hit for by Jacque Jones.

  11. RBI is not meaningless. When it comes to evaluating an individual player's performance, yes, it pretty much is. because the stats show that batters are no better in "clutch" situations than in "nonclutch" situations. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=AiOdIGbve4WS2MzSUeKPdn6FCLcF http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=AtxcXjhol3bdxrEebElBtkCFCLcF?year=2006&type=Batting http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=Amw.C6HHjgFt5wyeyBBVp1iFCLcF?year=2005&type=Batting http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6014/situational;_ylt=Aki4QRrJIYdEN9f6.fHIaI.FCLcF?year=2004&type=Batting accept the stats show Aramis is better in clutch situations year after year. It's simply a statistical anomaly. No correlation has ever been shown in any player, ever. It's completely random. Umm, he just showed a direct correlation with Aramis. except once again, its an anomaly. BA with RISP isn't a predictive stat. When you have a guy who is consistently better in certain situations year after year, then yes, you can look at that and logically conclude that it's likely to continue.

  13. 11th HR this month for Soriano, and 12th in 24 games since coming off the DL.
  14. Hahaha, what the hell was that? Jumping into the wall just for fun?
  15. I give Rich crap all the time, and it's always warranted too. But today he's been pretty effective, up until giving up the 2 run single to the pitcher. I'm not going to fault him for giving up bloop singles.
  16. Come on Rich, a freaking two run single to the pitcher? Good Lord.
  17. Nice work, Bucs D! Why isn't Soto on second right now?
  18. We're really scorching the ball off of Duke today.
  19. Quit smiling Nyger. The only reason you caught that like that is cause you got a bad read on it. DLEE!
  20. I'm not a fan of this at all.
