    Was Yoshida hurt?? (Wasn't watching)

    OMG, I have the Phillies booth too. Kruk is astonishingly bad! I guess not all amusing former MLBers are like Eck.
  3. jad
    Of course Youk says what he thinks. That's the problem. It's as if I were to say everything I think: like I was walking today and I met this dog you know dogs are cooler than cats well not for everyone but they're similar I mean you have to feed them and take them out, dogs I mean, cats you don't because you have cat boxes and the sun was out today did you notice that when the sun's out it's warmer than when it's not although you have to consider where you are because the sun is what heats the earth you know I was driving today and I don't think Passat is a great car pice of crap actually but it's old and older cars are older than newer cars but age is relative I mean you know we were talking about dogs and dogs don't live as long as cats or maybe they do but not as long as us you know I was in Boston a few years ago, they have this bridge to get in and ...

    I told you they should have sat Raffy last night and today. But no one listens.

    WE'RE NO. 3!!! WE'RE NO. 3!!! WE'RE NO. 3!!! ... (like that?)
  6. jad
    I do what I can.
  7. jad
    You're welcome, Raffy. If you need anything more, let me know.

    A .150 hitter like Casas should not amble to first on a ground out.

    I can't believe I didn't recommend that Rafy sit a week or two ago.
  10. jad
    I take full credit for Rafy's hit.
  11. jad
    What is wrong with Devers? Maybe he needs to sit ... (I say this largely because every time I suggest something like this, the guy goes off.)
  12. jad
    Yes!

    Good. Then define 'clutch' as 'performing normally in situations defined as clutch.' Again, show me the stats. If that's all clutch means: not 'choking' in key situations, ok, fine. But again, what are the stats to prove this? I assume Manny and Papi would do that. But we're not talking about the eye-test or memories of the heroics of Uncle George. Shouldn't those stats be obvious and easily obtainable? Surely more than dWAR or CERA or launch angle or all the other incomprehensible things that get talked about here as if they weren't in the least bit problematic.
  14. jad
    Wait. Uncle George swears it was a 98mph slider on the outside corner!
  15. jad
    It doesn't matter who you BELIEVE is clutch or not. I just want to see the simple statistic. Did Brady, Papi, Schilling perform better in clutch situations than they did in other situations? Show me the math.
  16. jad
    Clutch, if it exists, is absurdly easy to document. And anyone with minimal statistical skills can do it, and end this debate. 1) Define a clutch situation (doesn't need to be all that precise). 2) Are there players over a long span (50 games? a year?) who do better than others in these situations? (of course) 3) Do those players do as well (or better) in those situations than they do in other situations? 4) Are these results the same for other 50-game or season-long spans? (That's the important part.) Make a nice, detailed chart of teh results and post them here. (You know, there are people who actually do such things.) Then we have a basis for discussion, rather than referring to our Uncle George who once hit a rocket to left-center in his high-school semi-finals for teh league championship on an 0-2 count.

    In other words, he knows how to screw his employees. I'll bet that goes over really well in the clubhouse.
  18. jad
    Ha! I assure you, that in all his endeavors (violence not being one of them), that dog is undefeated.
  19. jad
    and the reason I'm not a HOF baseball player is because I just didn't want it enough.
  20. jad
    But then, don't forget, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's ... Hmm. Actually the big dog almost always wins.
  21. jad
    Whoever came up with that truism was completely wrong.
  22. jad
    Why aren't fans packing the stadiums to see the 2023 dWAR race? They obviously know nothing about baseball. I've always liked Wong for some reason. Maybe because his pitchers have less chance of being busted for having sticky stuff on their hands.
  23. jad
    It would help to have a 2b who can make a routine tag.
  24. jad
    Terrible ABs by Duran and Casas (Casas seems like that Little Leaguer always going up there for a walk).
  25. jad
    Oh God Youk STFU!!!!
