Let me rephrase that. Potentially shafting one team that is the rightful winner of a division to make another buck may be wallet-logical, but it is complete robbery and outright offensive to the team on the receiving end of MLB's idiocy. If they want more money, widen the playoff picture.

If he loses the close-out game, the team still has two more chances to get one win. If he loses the elimination game, the season is over. I don't know, you tell me what the higher pressure situation is. Why do you keep preaching experience and swearing that that is what Buchholz will need to ever be successful, and then are loathe to every single chance to give him this experience? If he pitches the 0-2 game and fails, oh well. There's many, many more chances after this season, and its probably good that Buchholz experiences playoff failure. Has to happen at some point.

Fangraphs is a pretty good sabermetric site, I'll trust that over subjective judgement.
-
He's never going to get the experience if you never give him the opportunity. The Red Sox have to take away his training wheels at some point. The sooner they do, the sooner they see if they truly have a keeper.

Sox over Angels Yankees over Tigwins Yankees over Sox Rockies over Phillies Dodgers over Cardinals Dodgers over Rockies Dodgers over Yankees

Why do we sacrifice Buchholz's ability to pitch big games in the future (since that's apparently very very crucial) in favor of this postseason, then? If experience is that important and game 3 is an elimination game (for either side), why not throw Buchholz out there in the first of what will hopefully be numerous like situations for him?

J.D. Drew has short fuzzy hair and it makes me smile.

Name calling? I called him names? Accusations =/= name calling. As I said, if he actually wants to have a baseball discussion instead of an RBI monologue where he disregards every convincing fact/stat/whatever thrown his way, he's welcome to. All he did was say his piece and then cover his ears and sing when opposing ideas came floating in. Clearly.
-
He can join the baseball discussion whenever he likes, as opposed to stating a theory/opinion that has tons of holes in it, and either ignoring or giving a 'lalalalala can't hear you' response to every single post that acknowledges holes in said theory. Then stating the silly idea again, and not responding to the mountains of evidence to the contrary, etc., etc.. Ooh, guess my two cents on this matter was un-called-for.

Epic trolling.

Please, list his mistakes, then list his successes. Side by side.

Rly? You're not trying to slam him as an unclutch little weakling by using his bases-loaded numbers? That serves as a way to try and measure clutch, you know. ... Ever think that his main strength, drawing walks, is a LITTLE BIT harder to pull off in those situations, seeing as the pitcher will pound the strike zone? You can't walk on balls inside the strike zone.

We're trying to judge players skills and contributions accurately. RBI and batting average do not allow for that. Its that simple.
-
-
Here's another real fact. RBI is a completely irrational, illogical, unreliable, abortion of a statistic that provides as much baseball insight as a stale raisin cookie.
-
Respond to these posts, otherwise you're a troll:
-
You mean attempted to use my very logical logic to try and prove me wrong about RBI being the precursor to eternal happiness, but FUBAR'd and butchered the thinking process?
-
I'm about 90% sure you're just trolling at this point.
