    With a lot more to come.

    This kid is going to be successful, because he leave the pen throwing gas and strikes.
  3. a700hitter
    Blew him away with heat.
  4. a700hitter
    Throwing smoke.

    JT should PH
  6. a700hitter
    Rally, Rally.

    Although coaches and scouts made those same predictions several years ago. None of them would have projected that he'd still be a top pitcher striking out 200+ batters at age 35.
  8. a700hitter
    Wishful thinking. I'd like to see him get 300 eventually, although it is improbable.

    Pedro won his 200th career game tonight against the Atlanta Braves. Congratulations, Petey. IMO he is the greatest pitcher that I have had the pleasure of watching in 38 years of watching baseball.

    Seattle was superior to the Twins last year. OPS is a good measure for individual stats, because it is a good indicia that a player with a high OPS will help or does help his team produce more runs. IMO It means very little as a team statistic. The only important team statistic is Runs. That's what it is all about, and that's all that matters. Seattle was 22nd last year and the Twins were 25th, and that divide should widen, because Seattle has improved it's offense, while the Twins have remained basically the same.

    Even though the issue of whether Sexson is elite or not is totally unrelated to the reason I owned you. That had to do with your admittedly incorrect statement about the relationship between K's and being an elite player. Let's not forget that. Nevertheless, I will respond to you regarding whether Sexson is an elite player. His career numbers may not indicate that he is an elite hitter, but these career numbers don't miss by much. However, he put up elite-quality numbers last year. He was 8th in the league in OPS, ahead of Konerko, Godzilla, Sheffield, Tejada and Michael Young. He was 6th in the league in Homers and RBI. He trailed only AROd, Manny, Ortiz and Konerko in Homers. That's pretty good company. He trailed ARod, Ortiz, Manny, Texeira and Sheffield in RBI. He was ahead of Vlad, Matsui, Hafner and Tejada. Plus, he had 99 runs scored. I think he is only now reaching his full potential and he is an elite hitter. In light of the company that he shares, it is almost impossible to argue that he is clearly not an elite player.

    Good, you corrected yourself. That's a start, especially when you are wrong.
  13. a700hitter
    Yes, Loretta, Yes!!!

    Go to Wily Mo if Every Day Eddie comes in.

    Who is the PH for Cora
  16. a700hitter
    Exactly.
  17. a700hitter
    So, you contradicted yourself.
  18. a700hitter
    Never bring in Timlin with men on. Let Foulke get out of his own mess.
  19. a700hitter
    This is a good move.
  20. a700hitter
    I'd leave Foulke for the 9th.
  21. a700hitter
    You are still missing the point. If Sexson is not an elite player, that is a separate question. Whether a player is elite is not directly related to how many times they K. I illustrated this point by using ARod as an example. That was my original owning of you. Since you don't know when to stop getting owned, I'll spare you. I'll ignore your next poorly reasoned post. BTW Really, register for a logic course. It will help you argue more effectively.
  22. a700hitter
    I told you. It should have been Tavarez then Foulke. What was he thinking with Seanez?
  23. a700hitter
    Gonzo is the every day SS, and he is the best defensive player on the field. There is no reason to be sitting him this often.
  24. a700hitter
    This doesn't follow logically. There were a couple of years where no one in the game could be compared to Bonds. Did that mean that ARod, Manny and Pujols were not elite players? Of course they were, but none of them compared to Bonds. Saying someone is in the elite is not automatically a comparison to the others in the group. It merely means that the player is being identified as one of the best in the game. Some are better than others. Perhaps a course in logic would help. Name-calling in reaction to being owned is always a very convincing argument. I am tired of owning you, so please stop embarrassing yourself.
