Agreed. He just like to scald the ball.
-
Yaz always swung hard, but still won 3 batting titles and just missed a fourth and he was patient enough to take a lot of walks.

I am assuming that each of the TalkSox members who participated in the Fantasy Baseball league will participate again in 2017. If not, please drop me a line. If other TalkSox members would like to join, please let me know. I would like to replace some of the non-TalkSox owned teams as most of those teams were neglected and became quickly non-competitive. I would like to see some of our vocal statheads join the league. Put your money where your mouth is and try your stuff against some of us traditionalists. Fantasy is all about stats. It should be right up your alley. It doesn't take more than a few minutes a day, so I call BS on the "I am too busy" excuse. Don't be cowards. I am throwing down the challenge. You know who you are.

He needs to get in shape and not be the FAT SLOB BELT BREAKING EMBARRASSMENT that he has been over the last two seasons.
-
235 wsa Big Papi's must have been his High School weight. When he was in top shape, I doubt that he was under 260. He is an enormous man.
-
I go to Ft. Myers every March. He was noticeably bigger last year than in 2015. He couldn't even position or turn his body to field balls properly.
-
He was belt-busting fat last year. Fatter than the year before.
-
They both stink. I wouldn't want either of them.
-
You just tend to be irked a lot of the time. Don't put that on posters.Own your own issues. It's not random.
-
It shows how much the market changed in a year that people are now referring to Kimbrel's contract as a bargain.
-
That's good to know.
-
I was familiar. With him, but didn't see a lot of him with the Twins. He impressed me with a scorched low liner grounder that went through the infield and outfield in a flash for a triple against the Yankees. I thought he was a pretty strong kid. the it wasn't a long time after he first appeared in a Red Sox uniform that I was glad Gianni went down with an injury.
-
typo. I will fix.
-
That is why they s*** so much. Repetition fine tunes the bowel memory.
-
That may be the case going forward, but initially, his prolonged period of failure was a very bad indicator for the prospect of turning things around. Going forward, he may be like Brian Daubach with lengthy hot and cold streaks. Dauber could look like a batting champion for a month putting everything on play hit hard spraying hits to all fields. When he was cold, he looked helpless-- like he had been struck blind.
-
At which point he will no longer be under contract?
-
Bradley is an extreme case. It is very rare for a player to turn it around after a prolonged period of terrible failure. He was slow to adjust and he had obvious mechanical flaws. Most mechanical flaws are subtle and imperceptible to the observer.
-
Unless he was aiming for you. LOL!
-
I don't understand this at all. Luck which enhances exististing skill?
-
They are not flipping coins. The data output gives a random appearance but there is very little that is random when athletes compete against each other. There is a randomness factor, but I think it is not significant. I really can't state it any more clearly.
-
That doesn't answer Bell's question.
-
You need to explain yourself better, because Bells read that post the same way that I did.
-
That is how I read it. An absolute statement that the hot hand doesn't exist with a fuzzy qualifying statement.
-
So, you acknowledge that streaks involve factors other than randomness, but you think there is a lot of randomness? Is that your position? Can you prove or quantify that streaks involve largely randomness?
-
This post indicates the opposite. http://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/17652-Christian-Vazquez?p=1044642&viewfull=1#post1044642
