    You could always figure out WAR per game or per inning, too...
  2. Bellhorn04
    Some might argue that you should be rewarded for showing up and playing.
  3. Bellhorn04
    He should get no love for 50 games over .500?
  4. Bellhorn04
    I get what you're saying, but it's just a hypothetical value - like I said, bare minimum major league level. That's why when you see a negative WAR, it is big-time sucking LOL
  5. Bellhorn04
    I think replacement level is essentially defined as the caliber of a guy you would call up from AAA to replace an injured player. Bare minimum major league level.

    It's possible, of course, that some teams contacted him and he said no thanks. There wouldn't be much financial incentive for him, after all.
  7. Bellhorn04
    You facetious devil.
  8. Bellhorn04
    But even if you had a 100 mph fastball, if it was down the middle every time, a lot of major league hitters would tee off on it.

    A lot of it comes down to luck, Slash. Kapler used some relievers with some pretty lousy numbers and it just so happened they didn't give up any runs on this particular night. Tends to make your decisions look better.

    The coaching is the big X factor. If JD really did give Mookie some useful stuff with his swing and his approach, that would be pretty big in itself.

    I think it's been tried 4 times all year. For a pitcher of Kimbrel's caliber, going for a 4 out save should mean an extra 5 pitches or so. But as we have all seen, Kimbrel seems to have some sort of issue with 4 outs or 4 run leads and generally doesn't do very well with them.

    My only beefs with Manny were a handful of plays where he didn't give it full effort. Overall Manny was a joy.
  13. Bellhorn04
    You're talking about players that everyone knows are having great seasons. But I also look at the WAR for players that I haven't seen play and don't really know much about.
  14. Bellhorn04
    2 different things though really. To me 'chasing wins' suggests managing like it was an elimination game from start to finish regardless of the score.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Some of Manny's stuff was quite enjoyable. But some of it crossed the line too IMO
  16. Bellhorn04
    Absolutely, it's not one of our major issues that we need to spend resources on.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Some fans, like you, would be reasonable about it. Some, not so much.
  18. Bellhorn04
    One thing's for sure, if we didn't sign JD we'd be cursing out DD pretty good these days.

    Dirt dog? No. Hot dog? Yes. Puig is a textbook example of a hot dog. I saw him do the same bat-flip thing on Monday night. He does stuff like that all the time. If he was white he wouldn't be treated differently. Lackey certainly didn't get a pass for his little routine of showing up his fielders.
  20. Bellhorn04
    What exactly do you mean by telling us what we already know?
  21. Bellhorn04
    'Lengthen the lineup' seems to me to be another one of those buzz phrases that get used a lot because they sound cool.
  22. Bellhorn04
    It's harmonic convergence, man.
  23. Bellhorn04
    It was quite the celebration JD and Holt had after Holt's homer last night. And yes, I couldn't help wondering if JD gave Holt some advice before the AB. Buying into the hype, I guess...
  24. Bellhorn04
    Random thoughts of the day: -A bit surprisingly, Manny Machado is kind of doing jacksquat for the Dodgers so far. -Yasiel Puig - there's a fine line between being flamboyant/passionate and being a complete idiot. -Cubs starters Lester and Quintana are really struggling lately.

    Shreve's .778 OPS vs. lefties isn't very good, but Cole's .980 is out of this world bad. Here are Cole's numbers vs. lefties this year: 78 PA's 358/436/806 for a robust OPS of 1.242
