    Why don't
    There's a bunch of junk stats and important stats. I don't give a rats ass about SLG & OPS! I care about grouping hitters who produce with RISP, and hitters who do better setting the table (Altuve, Reddick, and as you saw last night, Correa's 4 hits with bases empty) for the high RISP hitters . I know what I'm talking about. Why don't you stop your profanity about our pitchers and players during games? Thats not going to happen, either...

    Have you approached the Astros about hiring Amistad International Consulting? Clearly they need your advice considering how lousy their record is. Since you signed on and started your lineup whining, they have employed the same lineup strategy that they have used all year and scored 23 runs in three games.

    So to be clear, there are important stats like SLG and OPS which have a ton of predictive value. And there are a bunch of junk stats like tiny sample size RISP numbers that have been shown to be extremely volatile and random. And you only care about the junk stats and openly do not care about the important ones. No, Lunhow does not agree with you - nor does anyone else in baseball. For very, very good reason. You'd be the far-and-away worst manager in baseball history.

    You're wrong. The stats prove I'm right. So, I won't argue with you...

    There are some posts that pretty much confirm somebody is a troll/idiot, and is a must ignore.

    Just saw one. I swear I've ignored this dude at least 2 other times.

    Nuts to RISP. I am a huge fan of RBIs. Always have been; always will be.

    Still waiting for him to arrange a 40 yd sprint between Eddie Munster and Arnold the Pig.

    I like to pay attention to their record in a particular uniform. After 40 games or so, they should only wear the uniform that has produced the most wins.

    I don't know how I missed this gem. As a fan, what exactly have you made happen for the Astros, Coach Flip? And do you feel successful or a failure in your making-things-happen-ness?

    Truer words have never been spoken, unintentionally or otherwise.

    It was my idea (Wheeler for Lidge) that put us in the World Series!
