    I think it's quite possible that baseball is the hardest sport in which to identify clutch or non-clutch because of the issues with randomness and sample sizes. Nobody's going to argue very strenuously against Michael Jordan or Tom Brady being clutch.

    Wakefield had a lot of guts, I always thought. He gave you everything he had.

    When Wake pitched that 3 inning stint in the Game 5 of the 2004 ALCS I honestly couldn't watch much of it. I was so sure it was going to end badly. I find it hard to watch even on DVD when I know they don't score. :-)

    What I read this morning on Pomeranz and Wright doesn't sound so bad. They're bringing them along slowly, that kind of thing.

    Pretty hard to see how EE wouldn't fit.

    I have to agree with moonslav here. If you want an idea of what the team's budget is, you can be pretty sure it's very close to the tax threshold. If they had no concerns about the tax threshold they wouldn't have traded Buchholz away for nothing and they probably would have signed Encarnacion.

    mvp forgot to include the medical staff on the list of the team's weaknesses. They might be #1.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Me too, but it's mostly my own fault for 'needing' all this stuff.

    The Curse of Dr. Bill Morgan lives on.

    Not only that, but maybe trading Buch on the assumption these 2 were good to go wasn't such a great idea.

    Major Ugh.

    No doubt he does cringe. Fortunately he can be consoled by the fact that his franchise has made him a ton of money in spite of such losses. And fortunately for us he's still willing to spend right up to the tax threshold even with Castillo and Craig on top of that.

    Kimmi, my post where I tried to explain my philosophy was in response to this statement by moon: I could be wrong, but I have gotten a very distinct impression that some posters do not feel much concern about the difficulties that are ahead of us. I assumed that I was one of the people he was talking about and I wanted to clarify my position. I'm not unaware of the potential problems ahead, and if I seem unconcerned it's only because I'm choosing to accept that it's an organizational direction and I can't do much but accept it. I get where you and moon are coming from 100%. Like I say I was basically just trying to state my own position. You're probably right that the 'worrying' vs. 'complaining' distinction is largely semantics.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Ah yes, the one and only georom. He has popped in here for a couple of very quick appearances.
  15. Bellhorn04
    With specific moves it's generally not worrying, it's complaining about results that are right there in front of you. You can't really say anyone 'worries' about the Pablo signing any more.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I would differentiate them like this: specific moves vs. general organizational philosophy ('win now').
  17. Bellhorn04
    Let me put it this way: if I say I'm not concerned about our future, it's not because I'm not aware of the potential problems, it's because I see no point in being concerned about it. It's just my position.
  18. Bellhorn04
    There is no us. The team's concern is the only concern that matters. We can't do anything. There's no point telling other posters how concerned they should be about the future.
  19. Bellhorn04
    LOL I think you're probably right.
  20. Bellhorn04
    For me it's a philosophical thing. I've become a Zen fan of sorts - I hasten to add that I was only able to do so because of seeing us win it all 3 times. There's not a thing any of us can do about what the team does. I'm fully aware of the possible negative outcomes of some of their moves. But worrying about the future is absolutely pointless suffering.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I'm a big follower of WAR now. I think it's cool to see Betts with a 9.6 WAR sitting second in the AL behind Trout's 10.6. (And you really can't ask for much simpler numbers than those.) Alsop worth noting that the top 4 vote-getters in the AL MVP this year were in the same order as their WAR numbers.

    On BDC people would get 'banned', but they couldn't be banned by IP address so they would just set up again under a different name. Some even had multiple names. That's where the guessing games came in. It was ridiculous.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Sounds about right.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I consider myself a stat geek, but not a hardcore one. I consider Kimmi a hardcore stat geek. I'm a softcore stat geek, I guess.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I still believe it too. Well, to be more precise, I still don't think going out in bitter cold with wet hair is a great idea.
