    I remember listening to a scout some time in the 60s(?), who when asked about stats said that the primary 'stat' for him in evaluating minor league pitchers (remember there were no 'advanced' stats in those days) wasn't ERA or Ks or innings, but WIN/LOSS.

    Slaten looked like he got away with a few pitches, no? It should be 4-3 and we're watching Kenley close it out.
  3. jad
    Uh oh!!!!!

    That must be why they are so popular on this and other boards. I wonder if batting average or ERA was once looked on w/ indifference or an eyeroll. (I doubt it, since these basic stats are generally, not always, intelligible to the average fan.)

    Again, please review the 3-batter rule. Or let me spare you the trouble: a pitcher who ends the inning is not required to face additional batters in the following inning.

    Please familiarize yourself with the rules (particular the 3-batter rule) before launching your condescending tirades against the manager, or the players, the rules, the sport in general, or other posters.

    So what exactly is your criticism of Yoshida on this play? Please be specific.
  8. jad
    I assume you're being ironic, but if not, this comment may say more about you than about the hesitant GMs.

    Pathetic ABs by Rafaela and Duran!

    I don't usually worry about umpire calls. They're human. They make mistakes. But holy sh*t, the K to Valdez was a foot out of the strike zone and almost bounced in. Do umps get that badly fooled? I wonder if that's why some (I forget the name of one of them) wait a half second before making the call? I'd really like to hear from those who have actually called balls & strikes. I did a couple of times, and I have to say it was one of the worst days I've ever spent on an athletic field.

    I worry about that every time he steps in.
  12. jad
    Oh wait! I got it.

    Another very intriguing and nuanced discussion ... Now, can you enlighten us profani as to the meaning of "CBO"???
  14. jad
    Yeah that Kafkesque quality really bugs me.
  15. jad
    Well, at least today confirms the consensus here that Abreu, Yoshi, and Kenley suck.
  16. jad
    Why not just admit that the simple case: Mookie wanted market value and found a team willing to pay him market value, which the RS were not willing to do? (The question of whether a player DESERVES market value or whether market value for a particular player is a good or bad deal, or who decides this, or whether 'players get paid too much'-- all these have nothing to do with the central issue).
  17. jad
    Desperately trying to follow intricate arguments (way too subtle and nuanced for my understanding) that seem to hinge on whether a team in a different league is bad or mediocre. I guess that's a sign of the depths to which the RS have fallen. Or perhaps everyone just decided to begin celebrating 4/20 a day early.
  18. jad
    I can't believe you got to the 420 game thread first!
  19. jad
    Actually, the only seriously negative comments I find here are yours. And they're directed at other posters.
  20. jad
    reminiscent of a few years back. Who was the coach who routinely sent everyone home for a put out?
  21. jad
    Wait. That's deeply hurtful to those here of deep seriousness. I am profoundly offended.
  22. jad
    Well sure, but for me, the $65K I pick up from here is pretty much a side hustle.
  23. jad
    Why should a bunch of guys shooting the sh*t about sports have credibility? We're not 'professional posters'.
  24. jad
    Nothing is as hard as it used to be?
  25. jad
    One of them.
