  1. Since this followed directly from your disdain of sabrmetrics. I think my conclusion was logical, even if not what you intended.
  2. You just pull that out of your ass or what?
  3. You think Farrell is loyal, wait to you see DD's Yes Man.
  4. While I am not a BDC exile and I skew traditionalist, this is utter ********. I didn't realize you feel entitled to have a monopoly on what to post here, and anyone who has a different point of view gets lined up against the wall. What utter conceit and arrogance. You think you're top dog just because of your post count? The problem here is not the argument between philosophies but the tendency to beat said arguments to the death.
  5. But just started a wildfire of speculation. If it's not for losing ALDS, why are you firing the first manager to back to back division titles with the roster he had at his disposal?
  6. While this is true and is on Farrell, we'd be doing well to get rid of Pedey too. Addition by subtraction. Price too, but neither are expendable right now. No doubt in my mind that both are clubhouse cancers. How do you think his teammates felt when Pedey shouted to Machado "it's not me, it's them!" And then I read today that later on he gave a clubhouse interview where he implied he's a team leader. f*** outta here.
  7. How was it any different from Farrell? 1st round and done each time.
  8. "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
  9. "under the weather?" Unless his pitching arm has fallen off, he should be taking the mound.
  10. U.S.A, ranked 28th, just got beaten by Trinidad and Tobago, ranked 99th, and fails to qualify for the World Cup.
  11. "What is the next number in this sequence?"
  12. You can come back to this next season and hold it over my head, but I am optimistic about 2018, pending any offseason moves. I don't think the team needs massive or drastic (Stanton) changes.
  13. You know it's scary when Jacko is the VOR...
  14. I'm ready to roll with Betts/Devers/Hanley in some order as 3/4/5. I do want to see a #3 pitcher to bump Porcello/ERod/Pom down, one going to the pen or perhaps a trade.
  15. Nah, the best person for a thread like this is Tim McCarver. "When a batter has two strikes, he should take a pitch." "Mt. Everest erupts again!" "Dalton is using his glove like a mitt" "The reason we call that pitch up and in is because the arms are attached to the shoulder." "A walk is as good as a home run" "That pitch wasn't down and in, that pitch was down and up." "Yankee pitchers have had great success this year against Cabrera when they get him out." "Roy Oswalt is a drop and drive pitcher. What's a drop and drive pitcher? He is a guy who drops and drives." "Eckstein, like most of us, has 20 digits. Ten fingers and ten toes." "One thing about ground balls, they don't go out of the ballpark." "I think Tim Wakefield would even say tonight that Tim Wakefield got to Tim Wakefield tonight." "Speed slows down the game." "The only difference between resigning and re-signing is a hyphen." "As a new day begins in New York, the sun sets in Hawaii."
  16. What this game needs is a colossal Girardi f***-up, just to make things interesting.
  17. O rly? How many since?
  18. Since we're talking about it in separate threads, we should have one.
  19. Your DH plan involves shipping off Hanley, right? Because there's no other place to put him.
  20. Guardians allowing too many baserunners.
  21. I can't stand Judge's ugly mug. He should be in horror movies. They'd save a bundle on makeup.
  22. Make that five runs....
  23. I don't see why. Other night notwithstanding, I don't see Cleveland making back these four runs.
  24. Second and third, no out. Unreal. Guardians want to cement their status as choke artists after that World Series job.
