    I think rhet did.

    Is your point that the AL is a vastly superior offensive league despite their league ERAs being similar? Doesn't that fly in the face of your whole adherence to the statistical record? The amount of runs scored is the amount of runs scored. It feels like you are about to slip down the "quiet .900 OPS" slope.
  3. ORS
    No, there's no advantage. The players ERA is a ratio to an adjusted (for park) AL or NL average. When that league is a stronger offensive league, that player can have a higer ERA to score 1.10 ratio. When that league is a weaker offensive league, that player must have a lower ERA to score a 1.10 ratio. It's that simple. The flaw is that with the unbalanced schedule, it doesn't account for divisional strength within the league. A pitcher in the AL East will have his ERA+ computed to the same AL average as a pitcher in the AL West, which isn't really fair. Yes, it's imperfect, but it's not an ineffective way of accounting for the differences in leagues like you suggest.

    Sure it can. The league average will vary between the AL and NL. The player's performance is thus relative to the strength of the league.

    Dipre, when they reference "league average" in the computation of ERA+, they are talking about National League/American League, not all of the Major League. It absolutely accounts for league effect. In retrospect, it was a bad trade. At the time though, WMP was still looking like an unfinished product that would be quite good if he could add the final coat of polish to his game. They took a risk on that happening. It didn't. I'd be curious to see how some react the next time a Rule V draftee is handed a starting rotation gig, though. Just for the sake of consistency and all.

    I don't know if it's hubris, ie "we can do what we want", or stupidity, but there's no excuse for not having the whole league play today.

    Interesting game. Kalish has been getting all he was due and more from BABIP over the last couple of weeks. He's up to a line of .930-ish with 13 SB and 8 HR.
  8. ORS
    Fantabulous.

    While the AL is is better than the NL West, it's still the majors, Kuroka has arrived.....3 years ago.

    Jeemer!

    A strike or two is probably in order, Quasimodo.
  12. ORS
    Wicked pissah.

    The problem with your ******** is the assumption involved. You assume that people who are comfortable with replacing Papelbon actually want to go through the process that it will take for the Sox to let him go. If they are letting him go, that means he continued to get worse, and he needed to be replaced. Nobody who likes the team wants this to happen. Acknowledging it as possible and accepting the on hand replacement does not constitute the eagerness you have fabricated. So, in the end, we get to put up with your ******** comments, that are really directed at a ******** argument that you've fabricated in order to pat yourself on the back. No thanks.

    That snark rings out of tune when Bard was better....again.

    Who pissed in the Geritol, or was it Midol, today? JFC, they are winning the game.
  22. ORS
    For having an excessively gay tatoo on his neck.

    Bye Drew (Carey).
  24. ORS
    Why is he walking that suckbag 3 times?

    And it's played in places where the weather tends to be benign in February. I don't like the idea of increasing the likelihood that weather will play a significant role in the outcome of the game. The winds in that region at that time of year alone are almost a guarantee to have an impact. Then there's the potential for other weather events. I think this is a bad idea.
