    This is starting to feel like a political issue. Everybody should respect everybody else's opinion on it.

    I wasn't awake to see it, but based on what I've read, Bradley's AB in the 9th last night was a good argument for the automated strike zone.

    Well, everybody's got their ideas of what a sport is, so there has to be some sort of objective reference point. I would point out that a golfer has been SI's Sportsman of the Year 6 times since the award began in 1954. And the only golfer to win the award twice was not white. And continuing with that theme, check out the LPGA events sometime...the majority of the best players are not white.

    If we're going to include beach volleyball we also have to include the Lingerie Football League.

    The good news is that the two spectacular months were only a few months apart.

    His BB/9 has been excellent all year. In his last 4 starts he's only given up 3 walks.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Over his last 20 games, going back to when he came off the DL last year, he has pitched 133 innings - 6.65 per start - with a 3.65 ERA.

    Porcello does have some career-best numbers this year (WHIP & K/BB). He has an ERA+ of 109. I'm not his biggest fan either but at least there are some positive things in his numbers.
  9. Bellhorn04
    True, but it may be more about how the ballpark fits his game.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Shields has a career ERA of 5.42 at Fenway in 13 starts with an .808 OPS against.

    OTOH the most innings Kelly has pitched in an MLB season is 134.1. I think that may be his ceiling. Buchholz has at least reached 170 innings 3 times...
  12. Bellhorn04
    People here?
  13. Bellhorn04
    I think Kelly may actually be in a league of his own.

    fred would have moved on from Bogaerts with a 'Glad to be proven wrong on that one'. But he would be railing away about a bunch of other things, like the starting pitching and Hanley's hitting.

    I have always found this to be one of the more humorous famous sayings. It sounds like he might have said it when he was plastered.
  16. Bellhorn04
    It's a delicate balance though, isn't it? You want the player to think you have confidence in them, but if they blow a certain number of chances the axe has to fall, like it did with Buchholz.

    There are plenty of columns advocating automated strike zones. Just type that phrase in Google. Here's just one. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/14599589/re-imagining-baseball-robot-umpires-home-plate

    My answer to this would be based on pure math. Acquiring a good #2 now should add 2-3 wins to our total for the year. The rest depends on a whole lot of variables.

    Emp9, by your definition, roller derby is more of a sport than the Olympic decathlon.
  20. Bellhorn04
    That's a starting point for the data. What this doesn't show is the amount of time missed per injury. Look at all the baseball pitchers who have Tommy John surgery and miss a year plus. Not to mention the ones whose careers are terminated by arm injuries.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I don't see how you can say that a footrace isn't a sport just because the people trying to beat you are running beside you and not 'playing defense' i.e. trying to block your path. I think you're taking a very narrow view of what a sport is.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Do you remember which game? I'd like to check out the particulars because I don't recall Farrell doing anything quite that egregious.
  23. Bellhorn04
    You're blissfully ignoring the key component of 'competition' that separates sports from activities.
  24. Bellhorn04
    If you need a defense for it to be a sport I guess track and field, swimming and skating and skiing are out too. Darn, that's really going to take some of the buzz out of the Olympics.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Unluckily, Ben blew that money and more on Panda and Castillo.
