  1. He often remarked that was how he'd want to be remembered when he passed.
  2. For winning percentages I rely on fivethirtyeight.
  3. Swihart for Sale straight up.. Get it done, DD.
  4. As for charging the mound, forget it. Aside from Nolan Ryan and (IIRC) Farnsworth, 99% of pitchers are pussies when a guy charges them. I remember one of them throwing his glove at the guy.
  5. I can't think of too many brawls where a player landed a good punch in the face of an opponent.
  6. How serious are they about this season, because it will take a trade to get better. I don't trust E-Rod to come in and be lights out consistently.
  7. Usually 10 runs is all the insurance you need.
  8. This game or the Yankees taking 2 of 3 from the White Sox?
  9. f***ing Beltran. It took three minutes for him to round the bases on those knees. How are the Yankees going to win a series against the hottest team in the league? Unreal.
  10. To be fair, Porcello and Wright have been good, but you need more than that if you want to make the playoffs. Offense has masked the shortcomings but they can't do that the whole season.
  11. ...to dish up another couple of runs.
  12. Maybe we can also automate the batters, and then there would be no strikeouts at all.
  13. I wouldn't get rid of it altogether because then we're cheating another Galaraga out of a perfect game again somewhere down the road. I don't know the balance between too much replay and not enough, but it should be there for the huge calls that umps get wrong that cost teams games. It's a long season and it all evens out, but making the playoffs often comes down to the difference of one game.
  14. So something else umps can screw up and potentially affect outcomes of games with. No thanks.
  15. So I guess Ortiz is Exhibit #1 in the argument for the DH.
  16. That's exactly why he should retire after this year.
  17. Didn't see this before posting the same thing.
  18. If you told me Ortiz was one short of the cycle, single is not what I would guess.
  19. need more consistent pitching than we're getting for that.
  20. It's O'Sullivan who's going. Clay isn't going anywhere, no better option to replace him.
  21. I'm thinking do they jinx it by moving him in the order? Some guys get comfortable with their spot and don't like to move.
  22. Um...the .246 obp leads off??
