    Oh right, for my own good. What the hell are you talking about? Where were you when a700 and iortiz were tag-teaming me on a consistent basis to the point where other posters took exception to it. I'm telling YOU this for your OWN good. Mind your own business.

    What the hell are you talking about? a700 has been on my nuts ever since i joined the site, immediately pegged me as Dutchy, and spent a year antagonizing me along wth iortiz. If you don't know what you're talking about, shut your big mouth. Another instance where you're going way out on a limb. Why don't you stick to pining for Royals players? a700 is a hypocrite, yet again playing the victim. What's new?

    Don't you have a Royals player you should be hyping?

    And you can't ignore me, i'm a must read!

    Right, because i'm the one taking a general comment and turning it into a rant LMAO. It's not my fault SR is no longer around for you to bicker with.

    Which is obviously why you quoted me, instead of making a general statement like i did. Well done.

    Where did i say you were complaining about Peavy? I made the comment because i don't see the need to try to forecast anything other than what he's likely to produce. Not everything is about you man.

    If he pitched to a 4.00 ERA with good peripherals and stayed healthy i wouldn't complain.

    This is inconsistent. If 2 IP, 6 ER is an outlier, 9 IP, 1 ER is an outlier too. He may be capable of "spinning a beauty" like that, but it's very rare that he, or anyone for that matter, does. Also, you don't need to take away starts to conclude he's a better pitcher (when healthy) than a 4.28 ERA. You can make that case easily using readily available data. He has a 3.68 xFIP (more viable than FIP in thiss case since his current HR rate is insane and he's unlikely to sustain it) and the team he's on sucks at catching fly balls per their overall and OF UZR. If healthy, Peavy will be fine.

    I know what his worse start was. It was bad, but not a 2 IP, 8 ER disaster like Raul Valdes had the other day. And again, if you take away his best start along with his worst, you get a 4.09 ERA, which is just a slight improvement. And the problem with the rest of your post is the way you worded it "an entire season's worth of stats" is incorrect because he hasn't pitched an entire season. Saying that it has skewed his season to date would have prevented misinterpretation. For the record, if you want to make a legitimate argument about Peavy improving with the Red Sox that doesn't involve manipulating stats, look no further than the White Sox defense. Their defense is one of the worst in the Majors, and their OF defense as a team may be the worst.

    Except that the start wasn't that bad and it's not skewing a season's worth of stats. The reason why a very bad outing has had a large effect on his ERA is because the sample of IP is small relative to a league average season.

    Isn't insanity kind of this website's trademark though?

    Keep pissing excellence Ben.

    Who has durability issues himself.

    Uehara has been superior to Papelbon in absolutely every significant category this season. Why you'd be "nervous" about Uehara and not Papelbon, who has seen declines in velocity, K rate and HR rate is beyond me. Look past the name.
  16. User Name
    Immediately.

    I will flip my s*** if they trade for Young.

    He doesn't have to. He just has to be better than Iglesias, who on top of not hitting after the BABIP Gods decided to stop blessing him, was not an adequate 3B. Also, there's Bogaerts. He may be unproven, but his approach at the plate and top-notch tools allow one to reasonably predict better production than Iglesias right from the get-go. Also, i see you missed the joke regarding the Nixon avatar. Think about it.

    And for the record, the White Sox are 23rd in the Majors with a -17.2 UZR, and fielding statistics are especially unkind to their OF's with the exception of Rios, who is rated as average.
  20. User Name
    I never said i agree with his analysis. I am strictly arguing semantics here.
  21. User Name
    I think there are outliers. I just think everything averages out over the long term.
  22. User Name
    I'm not saying i agree with doing it. I'm presenting what, speaking from a statistical analysis standpoint, would be the correct way of doing it. Notice how, if you do what i presented above (take away best and worst start) his ERA essentially stays the same.
  23. User Name
    Again, that's not what he's trying to say. He's trying to say that Peavy's overall numbers have been affected by a start that could be considered an outlier. I'm not saying that i agree with it, just pointing out that you're misinterpreting his argument.
  24. User Name
    That's not what he's trying to say though.
  25. User Name
    Yeah but on average, the best and worst one will have a similar impact on a pitcher's overall ERA. Unless the worst start is a true disaster.
