It was a big non story.
-
Who?
-
That was just some dopey managing in the 8th inning by Dave Roberts.
-
he loaded the bases with a walk to get Capman out of the game. The PH,Miguel Montero took him deep for a grand salami with 2 strikes

I am not sure who is bashing Farrell for not getting HFA. I think he probably could have done a better job in that final week, but like you, I have not bashed the simpleton about this.
-
i just said that it is an advantage, and not a good sign when you don't get it, because your opponent is probably the better team. Others keep trying to quantify it to be smaller and smaller to reduce the advantage to insignificance. I am not sure why, because no matter how the numbers are "teased out", it is still an advantage.
-
You could tell them about the articles that come to those conclusions that HFA is not all that it is cracked up to be, but it is still an advantage. LOL!
-
Castillo was a mystery man. Very little was known about him except that he had no major tool. It was too much money to commit to an unknown who hadn't played competitively in more than a year.
-
It doesn't at all conclude that there is no HFA. From the article:
-
But still an advantage no matter how you try to prove otherwise.
-
There are exceptions to that!
-
No HFA going on in Cleveland tonight.
-
Ouch! And completely unnecessary.
-
When the advantage is 54% of course the exceptions will be vast. They are more than exceptions -- they amount to 46% of the sample. Seriously.
-
I think this may be more accurate.
-
A reading list from the teacher.
-
In that way, it is similar to politics. LOL!
-
Wow! Road teams win games too? Who'd a thunk it.
-
science denier!
-
Better teams usually get HFA, so when you don't get HFA stating that it is no big deal is illogical, because it probably means that you aren't as good as the team with HFA. That, plus the statistics that show teams with HFA win 54% of the time really makes me shake my head about the people taking the position that HFA doesn't matter. It doesn't add up
-
you may have the honor.
-
Nats will not be so easy.
-
Blah blah blah blah blah we didn't get HFA and we lost as the odds dictated.
-
HFA is an advantage. There is nothing disproving that...nothing.

it wasn't comparable at all. In 2003, Pedro had performed to plan-- 7 solid inning with a lead and 100 pitches. The formula all season long was to go to the pen to lock it down. Pedro had taken his congratulations. That was much different from 2004 where Pedro had entered the 6th inning with only 88 pitches and the issue was whether he stayed in one batter too long. The call in 2003 was much easier. Pedro clearly should not have been sent to the mound in the 8 th inning. That had bee the winning strategy during the season. You are just perpetuating the argument with this and sending it into a circle jerk.
