    I would take this a lot more seriously if it didn't come from a clear troll, because trolls are bitches by definition.

    I don't put him in the group of elite closers, because his performance is not elite anymore, simple as that. And you clearly don't understand the definition of elite. Elite isn't a guy who guarantees a "solid" year, it's a guy who guarantees upper echelon (top 5, at worse) run prevention and baserunner prevention numbers: Kimbrel, Chapman, Davis, Miller (even if now SU man), Jansen. Longevity has little to do with it.

    You cannot be this stupid, therefore you have to be trolling.

    What a cop-out.

    But we must take into consideration that by the time Koji became a full-time MLB pitcher, offensive numbers were a mere shadow of what Mariano (and Papelbon, to a lesser extent) had to face in his prime

    Papelbon was elite for way more than one season, and sustained elite-level production for four seasons to start his career. He then had a mediocre season, a couple of high-tier seasons, but has declined in both his ability to prevent baserunners, strikeout ability, and general peripherals, if not ERA, which is more fluky. Father time catches up with everyone, as Koji's lack of durability (but better bottom-line results) can attest to.

    I'm way worse in real life. In real life, I may have smacked you with a printout of pitch f/x's proprietary error margin calculation. You don't have to look for anything. The error matrix and the calculations are freely available online, and justifying not looking this up beforehand by focusing on me "being aggressive" instead of admitting that you have no idea of how this system works is classic immature behavior. Even worse, the whole "doing research is optional" point you're bringing brought a bloody tear to my eye. This internet forum is a lot like freedom of speech: You're welcome to spout nonsense, others are welcome to call you out on spouting nonsense. That's how forums work.

    The technology had a asking for 100% accuracy, when said percentage is impossible, but whose application would immensely improve on the s*** show the umpires are throwing out there. Now, let me clarify that I'm not advocating for eliminating home plate umpires or automating balls and strikes, but for the love of God, do a semblance of research before spouting such nonsense. The system to call balls and strikes automatically is there, and it's goddamn near perfect. Do some research.

    Wright better not f*** this up.

    We need Max to guide us sheeple broski.

    You're pretty good at both hyperbole and terrible assumptions.

    A clean inning is, by definition, an inning without baserunners. So Buch threw a scoreless inning, but it wasn't clean.

    Japanese strike machine

    This is the opposite of managing Koji's innings.

    E-Rod with a "Getting real tired of your s*** Buchholz" face.

    Foul it is.

    Excellent start for Clay!
  19. User Name
    But maybe he just half-sucks and allow three baserunners but no runs.....one can dream!

    God times good times

    He's not an elite closer anymore. You can scream that he is until you're blue in the face, but he just isn't. Like iortiz, you just won't let facts get in the way of a good argument.

    iortiz will never let facts get in the way of a good argument.

    You are unarguably very right my friend.

    So you are complaining about whining by whining? WHINECEPTION!

    Mike Trout is the epitome of athleticism in my opinion.
