  1. The first 2 weeks of the season should be spent either in domed stadiums or in the warmer climate cities.
  2. Posts like these come up all the time, so I'll do my best to give some advice though searching for old threads may help you a ton. The best part about Fenway is just walking around the neighborhood on gameday. Get there early, eat a sausage, grab a beer at one of the many establishments in the area. There is also a place called The Bleacher Bar that is built into CF and provides a great view of the stadium. It's too busy right before a game, but if you go for lunch before a night game, you'll have a blast. As for the rest of Boston, just pack your walking shoes. It's a great little city and you can see most of it in one day. I'd recommend you walk the freedom trail (it sounds corny, but I always love doing this because it gets you to see some of the great historical places of Boston), grab a slice of pizza in the North End (Ernestos) and go to the Union Oyster House.
  3. If balls and strikes were automated, the game would be much faster. I'm all for this.
  4. But I heard he can't field, doesn't know how to run and can't hit offspeed pitches?
  5. Baseball is too long and too slow paced as it is. Games should be 2-2.5 hrs at most.
  6. 6 road games, he'll get 2 starts and will pinch hit in at least 2 other games.
  7. The 1b?!?!?
  8. It's the worst. "I know, let's make the game slower!!!!"
  9. I will argue against Fangraphs until I'm blue in the face.
  10. Within 30 seconds of me watching the first game of the year, they go to instant replay. f*** this....
  11. It means the arguments are pointless because you refuse to see a different point of view. You'll argue for a player no matter what contrary evidence exists.
  12. Better analogy: Tax accountant fails to read up on new tax regulations before tax season. He screws up a bunch of tax returns. The next year, he again misses his CPE's and blows up his first few returns. Would his coworkers be wrong for saying "dude, go to some trainings?" Would his clients have a right to complain?
  13. Which is why the arguments go nowhere.
  14. Professional athletes shouldn't be fat.
  15. He's fatter than ever and can no longer field his position. Not much else to say about it.
  16. And I haven't ever said he was lazy, that's your bias against others' povs.
  17. The harm is that if he has been outplayed by Shaw since last summer, it makes little sense to play Panda unless you aren't trying to win. Is baseball about the feelings of overpaid players or about fielding a team that can win? I want wins. You seem to want to coddle veterans at the expense of results on the field.
  18. I'll do myself that disservice since they are a garbage site.
  19. Janky stats from a janky site, honestly. I don't typically quote articles from the Sun or Weekly World News, so I'd never quote Fangraphs ideas about WAR.
  20. Fangraphs is to Baseball Prospectus as GoBots are to Transformers.
  21. I'm seeing "official weight 295 lbs" on every forum, but aside from wikipedia, I don't see that weight listed "officially" anywhere.
  22. You just can't ignore the white noise of the jokes. Just because some makes jokes, doesn't mean they have a bad argument.
