  1. LaRussa f***ed Yermín Mercedes' carreer possibly beyond repair. f*** him. (And I used to love the guy).
  2. You sure? That's usually not the response my presence elicits around these parts.
  3. You're still here? I see my plan was unsuccesful....
  4. Barnes is slumping hard. Dude needs a mental break.
  5. Chokers exist both in pitching and hitting, imo.
  6. This team is giving me an ulcer. This is allmvp78´s fault.
  7. Kike is a stupid name. Enrique sounds better.
  8. I highly doubt you do, judging by the points you are actually trying to make, but let's agree to disagree. When you scoffed if "I do" above, well mostly yes, you'd be surprised at how deeply I've looked into what both sites are trying to do with their respective take on the stat, and why I think the FG version is superior. But that's an argument for someone else and some other time.
  9. Every hitter on the face of the planet has problems with sliders away. That's why pitchers throw them so much. Betts is just struggling, as he had to do at some point. No need to reinvent the wheel here.
  10. That's not it. Everyone knows it's flawed. The problem is that a lot of the "flaws" you find are based on the fact that you actually don't understand the stat's measurement process, what it's trying to measure, or what it's trying to say.
  11. Actually, it really doesn't. The issue isn't how many positions they play, it's that certain position have higher defensive value than others. 1B and LF provide a lower positional adjustment (even negative in the case of 1B) than the value provided by up-the-middle positions.
  12. ^I like that post. That is a good post. That post improved my day. I want to buy expensive gifts for that post.....maybe take it out to dinner.
  13. Harper is going to be a very expensive bust for a very deep-pocketed team. Here's hoping it's not the Red Sox.
  14. FO's use WAR as a measuring tool, since that is what it is, imperfect as it may be. Those young whippersnappers need to stop using WAR and start watching the games!
  15. What's funny is that you have all of this attitude and snark, but whine like a teenager that got a zit before prom if someone else dare take a tone. Nice.
  16. Is the banhammer broken or something?
  17. The super-nerds are ruining baseball!!!11!!!/Werth
  18. And with this, I shall take my leave of the internet for tonight, and of this site for a while.
  19. Well, season over. This team sucks, they're a sub-500 team, WAR sucks, and stats suck, and Benintendi sucks, and Cora sucks, and they just got eliminated from playoff contention.
  20. Stay tuned for my unsubstantiated opinions regarding Structural Engineering, which I know nothing about. Also wait until I get angry for getting called out on it!
  21. Well I'm certainly not full of you. And "Just stop" actually means "take 30 seconds to read how WAR works". If you don't want to, that's fine, but then you're the one who's pretty full of himself quoting stats you don't understand, but whatever bro.
