    Stats are good ain't they?

    Except that you don't have to automate anything. You are engaging in a logicall fallacy that is very unlike you. I have stated time and time again that they have the technology to help umpires perform better without taking away any of their authority. You are focusing on a point that doesn't exist to defend a point that truly is illogical. Why would you to have a guy perform a job sub-optimally just because? That just doesn't make sense.

    I don't know why, but this made me laugh so hard

    I was researching this, but then noticed that the female version of myself, has done so already. Kudos.

    Except that this is both a logical fallacy and a terrible example, because your "sample size" doesn't include every other baserunning play other than stolen bases. That is skewed at best, and intellectually dishonest at worst, since stolen bases are attempted more than 90% of the time by the best runners on the team either way.

    Excellent points.

    But then you'd have to take the top five to make it mathematically feasible.

    It's easy to infer when you're labeling anyone who has the gall to qualify Farrell's work as a manager as an "arrogant" fan.

    Net positive, both in the maturation of the players (manager has a direct hand at that) as well as basing a roster around his play philosophy (both he and the FO).

    So all of this is not just your opinion? Is this factual? Whether or not you feel it "arrogant", we can discuss whatever we want about the Red Sox on this forum about the Boston Red Sox. If it was done in a manner that was disrespectful (like calling Francona "Francoma") I could see your point, but we are discussing managerial issues (or lack thereof) because we, as fans, are the backbone of the team after all.

    He did not, but what can you expect from a Yankees fan? I looked up the answer because the tidbit was interesting.
  12. User Name
    That's what the Cubs have done. Focus on their org strength (developing position players) and find other avenues for pitching (4/5ths of their rotation are trade/FA guys).

    Let me rephrase the "covering mistakes part", since it seems to be your hang up: The Sox are overly aggressive on the basepaths, but they can be, because they have great personnel for it. A big part of that is more experience from Betts, Bradley et al, and part of that has been the coaching staff holding back some of the slower guys as the season has progressed.

    If something works, it doesn't mean it was correct. If there's a dichotomy here, it's in that statement. You can bring a lefty specialist to face Mike Trout in a tie game, and might get Trout out. Was it the right call based on results?

    How in the world did you infer that from my statement? You just literally said what I said but tried to make it sound as if we have contrarian opinions.....what?
  17. User Name
    ^This.

    Also, those are reported injuries in general. I'd like to see that data for serious injury leading to surgery/significant shelf time. In fact, I will look that up.

    No it isn't. Scientific method and peer-reviewed sources bruh. However, I must admit I admire your strength, for moving goalposts is hard work!

    1) No they wouldn't. Stop making stuff up. 2) No they wouldn't. Stop making stuff up. 3) Golf is a sport because it requires a lot of skill.

    I had to quit my chess league for that very same reason.

    It may not meet the extremely high scientific standards of Talksox members who coincidentally don't share this opinion, but it's better than making s*** up on the internet. Science!
  23. User Name
    Seriously though, at least they follow some semblance of actual research instead of making s*** up on the internet, which we are all guilty off, to a certain extent. I'll take the myth busting over "this is what I said but it isn't what I said" any day of the week.

    I've been powerlifting for almost 10 years (5 competitively): Zero major injuries. I played a baseball/beer league mix for four: Two oblique strains, slight meniscus tear in left knee (don't wish that on Horseface Teixeira), grade 2 intercostal strain, and the birth of the bursa issues on my elbows. But, I'm no expert.

    Are you an "expert"? Don't answer, it's a rhetorical question. So what makes your opinion more valid again?
