    At least the Yanks and Toronto are losing (Toronto just lost actually) and Tampa lost to Cleveland.

    To top it all off Baltimore is unsurprisingly hammering the Padres.

    ^This. The more current ones are Lebron vs Durant (that one has been a thing for a while)/Westbrook/Curry. I even heard Lebron/Harden last season and laughed so hard I think I cracked a rib.

    The umpire has been s*****, period. Stop rationalizing.

    Sale has nothing tonight. If there's a day we can beat him, it's today.

    Robot umps please. (It's hyperbole, but the second pitch to Betts was a strike and Gameday confirms it)

    If Bogaerts did not play SS, I would agree. But he's playing SS at a very high level while providing elite offense and excellent baserunning. He's like one of those players you create in video games and make them crazy good.

    The problem is that defense is also a part of the game. A very important one at that.

    Curry is not a better player than Lebron, MVP's (which, in baseball, are also a popularity contest) be damned. The stats and the eye test both prove that. Lebron lights up the scoreboard in every facet of the game.

    The problem is, that you (and others) and this is directed to all of you, are misunderstanding my argument and lumping me in with the others. I'm advocating giving the umps gear which helps them improve their accuracy, not replacing them. In fact, the only guy balls-to-the-walls for replacement is MVP. At least argue the idea I'm actually presenting.

    A) I have already presented several times that the strike zone used to gather data on the umpires gives them a leeway zone about the size of the baseball itself. That argument is incorrect. B ) It uses the myriad cameras used to gather the data itself in order to adjust the strike zone to batter height, and stance. In 3d. In real time. This argument does not fly. c) So what? Baseball did not have a DH, instant replay, or divisional/championship rounds for 100 years. All of those have changed the game for the better while actually changing fundamental parts of the game, which is your argument. Helping umpires enforce a strike as defined by the game's rulebook is, by definition, defending a fundamental part of the game.

    Do you even basketball bro? You should listen to some of the haters' arguments. I've heard arguments for Curry, Westbrook, Durant, Carmelo Anthony, and in-prime Duncan and Nowitzki being better than Lebron because he lacks the "clutch gene" and "killer instict".

    Also, this.

    This is bogus, and has been refuted several times. The 3d model can and does make the adjustment. Also, you keep telling me "what I want to do", yet it directly contradicts what I've been saying needs to be done. Seems like a strawman to me.

    The 2006 Cardinals won it all with Yadier Molina OPS'ing .595.

    And an easier time doing #2, if you know what I mean.

    We're arguing for the greatness of Lebron. It's astounding how he can actually be somewhat underrated because of all of the hate he garners. Comparing Curry to Lebron is like comparing Jason Giambi to Albert Pujols. Both were great, but one was in a league of his own.

    Are you a Red Sox fan? Yes. Do you hate the Yankees? By obligation. Are you biased about your team? We all are, to a certain extent. Where's the reach in my assumptions?
  19. User Name
    You know what changes the fundamental nature of the game? Not being able to enforce the rulebook. Helping umpires do a better job does not change the fundamental nature of the game in any shape or form. That is made up hoopla.

    I was going to say "Buchholz better not f*** this up", but honestly I'm just crossing my fingers and praying.

    This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read on this site. You've outdone yourself doc!

    Sale is going to do to us what Bubba did to Subway Jared when he got to prison. We need to get him out of the game quickly and feast on their MRP.
  23. User Name
    OPS+ accounts for league, and the offensive bar was much higher back then. Try another stat.
  24. User Name
    I blame delicious food.....wait, that did not come out right?

    Rodman is also the most ferocious defender (when it mattered) that I have ever seen. He took days off because he was a head case, but goddamn was he intense.
