Upton? I got 2 or 3 different offers for him. It is funny to see him on the waiver wire now.
-
The Yankees have more class than the Sox. [/nutshell] Shocking, I know. I mean, this point never gets made by Yankee fans. Zzzzz.
-
Maybe this is just my perception, but it feels like you've said this about 30 times this season.
-
So, you embrace failure regularly, then.

Because it's just 11 games, and the guy who was slumping at the time is historically the better offensive player. If this doesn't make sense to you, my apologies, but it seems pretty clear to me (and others).

And this is why the thread should have ended on the first page.

While not necessarily valuable, when he was tanked in the booth a few years back, it was pretty interesting.
-
How about offering to upgrade the electrical system for his pool? Too much?
-
Or, just throw some fruit at him.

Randy "White Towel" Williams..... How funny is it that the Dodgers gave up Santana for Casey Blake in the year they "went for it" when they got Manny from the Sox?
-
It's funny listening to the broadcast crew pontificate about what's a HR in this park without consulting the park rules. They dictate what's a HR, not their opinion about whether or not the top of the wall (behind the padding) is out of play. Nitwits.

Well, from the sound of things, the "very well" is relative to early year Lackey, and if that's the case, I can't argue. That said, I don't think that's a very realistic relative baseline for assigning superlatives.

Looks like it, it's OK, he still has 2 runs to give up before he hits his Tito limit.
-
He stinks!

Meatball city.

He probably blames the defense for that one too.

Awful example. He was hot, he got cold....this happens to every player. He was also hot in the MLB last year. This is why you take larger samples. Things like BABIP tend to normalize, and you get a clearer picture of what that player really is in terms of expectation. Josh Reddick is an extremely better ball player than the one month+ sample you are using to justify tossing him aside for. Players are going to get cold, it happens, no need to run around like the sky is falling when they do. If that cold streak happens in the playoffs, so be it, you can't control that. There are several current and future HOF players who did not shine in the playoffs.

Were you concerned when Ellsbury was the starting CF going into the '07 playoffs? Very similar story lines. Yes, I know that has no predictive value at all, but the point is, all this hand wringing seems like making a mountain out of a molehill.

FTR, his .230 BA in Pawtucket this year was backed up by a .217 BABIP. This is coming from a guy that has had a .297 BABIP throughout his time in the minors (including the .217). There should be little concern about his batting average this year. I'd also be curious to know what your take is on Ellsbury this year? Point being, he's never done anything like what he's doing this year. Is there a similar level of concern about him regressing in September/October?

7/26 vs. Kansas City
ORS replied to Youk Of The Nation's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Don't have the game on the tube, how was the pitch located to Hosmer? Pitchf/x has it at 95 and up/in, off the plate. Good location to a lefty. -
