Real men swing the f***ing bat, and get their RBI's!

 

By the way, ORS, the members of the "Watch the gamezzzz!!!" squad would like to know your opinion on UZR.

I've already stated it. It's not perfect, but it's the best we've got, and it uses the best possible approach short of an electronic tracking system. To the detractors who get all wadded in the panties because one of their heros doesn't score well in a given year, I say heed the advice of the guy who created it. One year samples aren't enough to filter out all the noise inherent in attempting to measure fielding. This is like saying, don't measure how good someone is with an offensive stat over one month, which is accepted as common knowledge to most, including the "gamerzzz". Apply the same principle to something more complex like fielding, expand the window to a few seasons, etc..

 

Anyway, back to the game.

Thank you very much.

 

And i hope some oppo-power from the big man starts to ease some concerns.

Sure you don't want to trade for JD Drizzle Dipre?

 

Hahaha i have him on the other fantasy team. Nearly sat him for Swisher by the way, but decided against it, sensing a breakout against suck-dealing Davies.

Wow, Royals telecast has worst angles I've ever seen, did Cameron drop the ball or was it over his head? Anyway, nice relay throw by Pedroia.

Cameron's done that several times. It looks like he has a good read on it' date=' but loses sight or something, ball bouncing off his glove[/quote']

 

Happens sometimes to older fielders who don't quite have the first step they used to have.

 

Oh and LOLKC

Maybe so. But he was in position to at least have the ball hit the heal of his glove and then made a good play off the wall. He then made a good throw to the cut-off man that made a good throw to nail the runner at the plate.

 

While I'm not completely sold on Cameron (yet), I call that good baseball.
