I agree with you. I just think there's no political will to do what it would take to balance the budget. And the higher the debt gets, the more...
Other than Bill Clinton, no president has done that in our lifetime. Not Republicans, not Democrats. I don't think there's any intent by either...
We have years and years of data showing players peak late 20s. It's been established for a long time. A lot of guys don't even make the majors...
I'm sure they know better than us what the real CBT number is and will avoid it if possible. It's all fungible, get a team to pay part of the...
Patrick Corbin got the win in relief in Game 7 - he finished 11th in Cy Young voting that season (and 5th the year before). He dropped off quick...
wOBA is a totally different stats than wOPS. A different metric looking at offensive production.
Calculate maybe the wrong word... conceptualize maybe better. And the stat isn't on B-R so you've got to go to Fangraphs or Baseball Savant to...
I think wOBA is better metric generally. It's just not as simple to calculate.
For sure. How many times do teams hit with men on base vs. empty? If I could figure out how to look those stats up I would. Just looking at...
In many situations they are better. But I'm not sure they're twice as good. In any situation with the bases empty, they're basically the same.
Didn't claim it was a phantom stat, chief. Just that it overrates singles. They are 19th in doubles, 7th in homers, 25th in walks. Some of their...
OPS is a flawed stat that overrates singles, which count twice. We're middle of the pack in runs in that time frame.
Yes but prospects are just that. Some of those 5 guys might make the bigs, some might not. But the likelihood is none end up as stars. We have...
Oh wow. Trading our only star hitter in his prime while he’s on a team friendly contract for multiple seasons. That’s mental. Any player who we...
Yordan is already locked up for the next three seasons. Are you trying to extend him three more past that?
His performance looks particularly amazing considering the other two games in this series. This team doesn’t have the offense to compete with a...
We’ve got some possible SP coming back around the deadline. The real problem is trying to get through next 2 months with Gusto/Gordon/Blubaugh...
Blanco is a big guy, big frame, so I get that part. But he'd never even thrown 90 innings in a season before last year. Framber's got a much...
I don't think that "just as easily" is true. Any pitcher - any player, really - can get hurt. But some are more brittle, and some are more...
What I believe is that you have a bias coming into any situation involving a male athlete accused of bad conduct by a woman. Because you're...
