    Hembree is starting to look a little toasty.
  3. Bellhorn04
    This discussion is heading toward Yogi Berra territory... "Baseball is ninety per cent mental. The other half is physical."
  4. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, you're right. I didn't realize he missed that many.
  5. Bellhorn04
    George Brett made a run at it. So did Tony Gwynn but it was the strike year.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Look man, you do realize that Ted Williams was the last player to hit .400 - in 1941? In the last 76 years no one else has done it. .338 is a spectacular average for Major League Baseball.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Just a wee bit of hyperbole there.
  8. Bellhorn04
    A .400 hitter!
  9. Bellhorn04
    He's hitting .338, man. What do you want?
  10. Bellhorn04
    Yes! It helps the pitcher's WAR and possibly the fielder's.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I was just a little surprised by how much he focused on Altuve's late-and-close numbers and his suggestion that it doesn't really matter if luck and randomness enters into it.
  12. Bellhorn04
    More horseshit, or should I say Storkshit.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Did you read James's actual comments though? Some of them were a little surprising. He was highly critical of choosing the MVP based on WAR alone and not looking at the situational hitting stats. He said that Altuve should have easily won the MVP over Judge because Altuve's numbers in high-leverage situations were so much better, and that he therefore contributed more directly to wins. James also scoffed at the value of Pythagorean record and suggested that the difference between the Yankees Pythagorean record and their actual record demonstrated that they were not good in close games-seemingly discounting the randomness aspect. That's the way I read it, anyway.

    True. By the same token, Hanley's 355 OBP is exactly 2 points lower than Bogey's. And as I said Benintendi's OBP was 358 as recently as May 1. Small samples, really. But I'm sure that if Beni continues to struggle he'll get moved.
  15. Bellhorn04
    That's Natick.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Max's post was 100% sarcasm. He said '29th worst offense'.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Bogaerts got injured on April 8 and was out almost 3 weeks. Also, Benintendi's OBP was .358 as late as May 1. We're still dealing with some fairly small and volatile sample sizes here.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Well, you guys have Gardner leading off with a .627 OPS. But you're scoring piles of runs. Maybe, as Kimmi suggests, the batting order is not that big of a deal.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I know you were being serious and I meant to give you an honest compliment.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Good for you Thunder, seriously.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, you gotta love that 'Exit Velocity', huh?
  22. Bellhorn04
    No changes to the pen because of budgetary restrictions and hopes that the already-heavily-invested-in Smith and Thornburg would be major contributors.
  23. Bellhorn04
    As far is Beni is concerned, Cora is being patient, that's all. You start out the season with a projected optimum lineup and you can't start juggling it based on who's not and who's not the first month. If Beni's numbers don't improve he will get dropped down at some point. As I like to say, it's a damn good thing the team has more patience than the fans do, or we'd be screwed.

    Farrell gave up on Salty in the 2013 World Series and went with Ross the final 3 games, all of them wins.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Oh, this'll be good, thanks Jackso.
