What about runners at 2nd and 3rd, or 1st and 3rd, or 2nd, or 3rd? If we're playing this game (we shouldn't be, but whatever), why is bases loaded the only RBI opportunity? Here are his stats in other RISP situations: 2nd: .310/.465/.537/1.002 3rd: .250/.406/.470/.875 1st and 2nd: .271/.386/.470/.856 1st and 3rd: .306/.369/.556/.924 2nd and 3rd: .282/.454/.487/.941 Send me a slice of that cherry pie.

One JD Drew has missed no significant time this year due to injury.

Just curious, how did you get to that figure? VORP? Obviously 612 is incorrect, because individual RBI are a product of the situation. A guy that gets on base 40% of the time is going to give the guys behind him in the order more chances to drive him in. If there is a team of JD Drews, more guys will be on base and thus more will score, leading to more runs.

This is completely dishonest and a logical fallacy. You should really listen to Theo's statement in the OP of the thread. He put it better than any of us can.

Those are specific situations, we're talking about RBIs as a statistic for an individual player. This is literally what Theo Epstein said. I am not making any of these words up: “You guys can talk about RBIs if you want, I just … we ignore them in the front office … and I think we’ve built some pretty good offensive clubs. If you want to talk about RBIs at all, talk about it as a percentage of opportunity but it’s just simply not a way or something we use to evaluate offensive players.”

The General Manager of your favorite baseball team disagrees with you.

Interesting. Burnett's starts with Molina: 10 G, 63.2 IP, 49 H, 24 ER, 28 BB, 74 K; 3.39 ERA, 1.22 WHIP Burnett's starts without Molina: 22 G, 138.1 IP, 137 H, 68 ER, 68 BB, 118 K; 4.42 ERA, 1.48 WHIP

Not surprising at all. Good matchup between two good teams > completely meaningless game. -
Good post. Joe Posnanski wrote a good piece about Theo as a response to his radio appearance about Drew. He said: Theo has made his bad moves, like every other GM has. But his philosophy and his business model is a very sound one, and he has executed it every season, with the exception of the one year in which he wasn't a GM for the offseason prior.

Sox are up 3-1 in the 2nd.
-
According to WARP, Martinez added about 2 wins. So we probably do make the playoffs without him. I'm certainly not trying to take anything away from Martinez or the trade--it was a great trade and he's a great player.
-
No, they got him 8/29.
-
Dodgers get 5 in the 7th. They'll clinch the division and home-field throughout (except the WS of course).

Another winner is the Metrodome for hosting the two biggest sporting events in the US in those two days: Monday Night Football and a potential one game playoff.

Thank god you weren't around in 2007. You're much more tolerable when the Guardians suck.

They will start them and take them out of the game after one or two at bats.

I'd imagine Baldelli and Gathright are the backup outfielders. Different story if Baldelli is hurt.

Who gives a s***? He's going nowhere near the playoff roster.
