Velocity's fine, but he seems to be all over the place.

Youk>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bailey. Thank the baseball Gods for his return.

Pwn the American League East apparently.

JASON f***ING BAY!!!!!

Youk=OBP.

Papi RBI grounder.

That's exactly my point. Mike Lowell's 2-strike hitting .227 AVG. is only .10 points lower than his season .237 average, thus disproving your theory. Not only that, you've also changed your tone to "i never said......" you DID say, that's my point, so don't change the tune, you said specifically that no hitter who is sucking is hitting "well" which in this case would be league average with 2 strikes, i proved you wrong, so man up and admit it. That is all.

Oh, brother. No one has sustained success with 2 strikes. Again, because you keep missing the point. (And made me read an 11-paragrah post again). Sucking with 2-strikes is not 100 % related to struggling. Take, for instance, Mike Lowell's "lost" 2005 season. He hit: .133 in 0-2 counts, the NL average was .155. .234 in 1-2 counts, the NL average was .188. .188 in 2-2 counts, the NL average was .222. .258 in 3-2 counts, the NL average was .244 Mike Lowell SUCKED througout ALL of 2005, so please explain to me how every time a hitter is struggling it's ALWAYS because he's hitting way below the norm on 2-strike situations. As you can see the example, that is not always the case, because nothing in baseball is absolute, or black and white, there are always exceptions to the rule, and that's why i brought up BABIP, because, in Lowell's case, he hit in the low .220's when ahead in the count, in Ortiz' case, he was way below average in every instance where he had 2 strikes, but that was due more to lack of contact than anything else, but implying that every struggling hitter in the majors is struggling to be league average while hitting with 2 strikes is an absolute you have no chance of proving.

I don't think there is a way you could've fit any more WIN into that post.

Colon's line from the game: 2.0 ip, 8 R, 1 ER. Ever seen a fat guy with better luck?

Which would only happen if he was in the rotation, mind you.

Nothing is black and white in baseball. It's just choosing the lesser of two evils.

I have performed the anti-scrub mojo ritual again today. The scrub shall be crushed.

Why? He's basically sucking in Oakland, and Jason Bay has carried this offense all year long, in fact, what the FO should probably be doing is trying to lock up Bay right now.

You should, it's true that Hughes has nothing left to prove in the minors, and he might be able to settle in much better out of the 'pen, just like Chamberlain did before him.

There is one stat that will spike for Peavy if he moves to Bandbox Cellular Field. HR/9.

I don't know wether to be amazed or disgusted at the sheer graphical nature of this quote, but either way, it made me LOL.

Doiji, my man, you're failing.Hard. Back up now and keep your dignity intact because there's no way you're winning this argument.

Hey Jacko,when you can, please PM me the address of the place where you bought your crystal ball, 'cause if you can predict the future, i'd like to be able to as well, so i can find out next week's lotto numbers. Thanks.
