    "Good teams will tend to win a slightly larger % of close games than bad teams." That is the same as what I said "that good teams find ways to win close games, more often than not."

    They aren't. It is a 1 game elimination. Can't use the plural playoffs for that.
  3. a700hitter
    Not an attack at all, just an observation. I think you are a very nice and good person.
  4. a700hitter
    Put me in the camp believing that good teams find ways to win close games, more often than not. While there is randomness, luck is the residue of design. You make your own luck.

    ...and your wife won't put up with it?
  6. a700hitter
    Me too! It helped me get through the lack of baseball for several winters.

    That is because you are fundamentally adverse to accountability. When the managers make a mistake, it is the players' fault. When the players make a mistake, it is the whims of randomness. Do any of your students get less than a B+?
  8. a700hitter
    If this is the case, we should all just get strat-o-matic baseball and roll the dice and play out every season with randomness.

    The criticism on the game thread was that I saw was that he should have taken out Smith AFTER the home run. I didn't see any criticism for putting him in to start the inning, but you will just make it up as you go along. Your post indicates that because you stated it in the form of a bet... because you don't know.

    I have commented on these boards about how great it is to be 6-1 while others have said that it has been against weak competition. Good managing is like good umpiring -- no one notices it or comments on it as the focus is on the players on the field. That is why you will not find me making positive comments about any manager (except on rare occasions), but a lack of positive comments about Cora should not have a negative connotation, just as a criticism of a particular managerial decision should not be interpreted as a condemnation of Cora. You can't seem to grasp that.

    6-1 is great even if we are playing the Bad News Bears.

    Tanaka had big trouble with the HR ball last year.
  13. a700hitter
    It will be tough to keep him from reaching his option.

    Hanley is the Extra Innings legend!!
  15. a700hitter
    He was excellent.
  16. a700hitter
    This is pretty cool. A bald eagle landed on James Paxton before he pitched against the Twins | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM The Official Site of Major League Baseball

    They hit the only good pitcher that Tampa put out there today.

    [h=2]Royals Release Kyle Zimmer. He was a former first round pick in 2012 and the 5th pick overall. Top picks are never locks.[/h]
  19. a700hitter
    And just like that.

    Who are these pigs on the mound for the Rays that we can't hit? They are nobodies. I think they get paid with pails of garbage and chewed up corn cobs.
  21. a700hitter
    Pretty cool that you saw The Golden Bear. I went to Seniors tournament one time and saw a lot of legends, but didn't see Palmer who was dealing with cancer at the time.
  22. a700hitter
    Price is pitching great. It is time for the lineup to get this pig pitching for the Rays.
  23. a700hitter
    Before people could forget his pitching change without having a pitcher throwing in the bullpen, Kapler positioned his LFer ridiculously shallow on the Mets Rosario resulting in a triple over his head. Kapler defended the defensive alignment based on his analytics. He is losing the confidence of his team very quickly.
  24. a700hitter
    Aces pitch out of trouble.
  25. a700hitter
    We need Pedroia's glove.
