  1. I think our main disagreement is on statcast during the game. I usually don't pay attention to it during games, but when I'm compiling data for research during non-game time.
  2. Sure helps me waste time when I am bored, and also writing articles on hitter trends.
  3. Porcello is cy young compared to kelly-buch. I will take what I can get.
  4. It's a cop out because you retracted half your initial statement. Stick to your guns
  5. Every time I compare Kimbrel to Papelblows he gets hammered. I will not do so again.
  6. This loss is all on me, for comparing Kimbrel to Papelblows. I jinxed it, my bad.
  7. That's all on the Sox FO signing the wrong guys. This is failthought. It's easier to look better in the NL without the DH and pitching for a s***** team. Then he goes to Washington, chokes their superstar, and he's pitching worse than a bunch of guys making league minimum. I don't get the rosey Papelbon glasses.
  8. Kimbrel has a 0.737 WHIP and is 12/13 in save opportunities. Papelbon is a distant (and overrated) memory. Papelbon is riding on the "Way to crappy reliever" highway. ™
  9. What a cop-out bro. (Sorry for the multiple posts, just got home from work and I'm leaving again, may not be able to post until Monday)
  10. You and Jack Flap are my BDC besties.
  11. This is why actually. In general, because of the end point of curveballs, they are usually hit at a better angle than most fastballs when hard contact is made. So he's actually not right.
  12. Funny, since on average, the longest hit-pitches, in the majors, are curveballs. Look it up.
  13. For one? Fantasy baseball. I write for a fantasy baseball website.
  14. What exactly does this have to do with the topic at hand? Also, Barry Bonds used a 34-inch and he grabbed it short, yet he hit some of the longest home runs in MLB history.
  15. 1) What about people like me, who don't live in the US and can't go to batting practice. 2) You can do both, and I still think you don't understand the usefulness of AEV+ launch angle because you haven't taken the time to analyze what they actually do. Again, you're free to not like any stat. But don't christen them "useless" if they are useful/enjoyable for other people who don't have the same access/thought process you do.
  16. Yeah, because batting practice results directly correlate to in-game results. And it's still an extremely simplistic view of a much more complex subject.
  17. Koji's fine if they can carefully manage his workload. With 2/5ths of the rotation consistently failing to go at least six innings and Smith down, that becomes a Herculean task.
  18. So this team needs a starter and a setup man. Could be worse.
  19. There are those low pitches y'all wanted.
  20. That was a meatball. Kelly's lucky that was not a GS.
  21. Remy's insights are so good.
  22. That's why Exit velocity comes packaged with launch angle, and when combined, over decent sample sizes, you have a general idea of why certain guys who seem to consistently "sting" the ball don't get better power results. But of course, all of this is fairly meaningless and all that.
  23. It's easy to hate on stuff that takes effort to understand Kimmi.
  24. Gotta give credit where credit is due: Farrell has a pair!
  25. Not a homer, a "Defender of Buchholz",although by now, I'm sure you're as ready to drive him to Pawtucket as the rest of us. And how can you not see that the two pitchers of interest were Miley or Buchholz? That's just arguing for the sake of arguing.
