    Hanigan is very good defensively. He has done an awesome job of blocking pitches. Once he gains more familiarity with the staff, I think his pitch framing ability will help even more.

    IMO, Clay pitched better than the boxscore shows. Yes, he allowed a lot of baserunners, but a few of those were the result of some bad "breaks". Two positives from his start are that he only walked one batter and he gave up 0 homeruns. I think Clay deserves credit for hanging tough, battling through it, and limiting the damage, something that he is often not able to do. On most days, a start like that is good enough to get your team the win. I think it's possible that he was sincere in his apology to his team about not doing his job in that second start (specifically with not backing up bases), and that he really tried to stay focused this game when he got into tough spots. As far as whether it will be a confidence builder for Clay or not, who knows? You would have thought his Opening Day start would be a big confidence builder for him, and he comes out in his second start and absolutely stinks. He remains an enigma.

    Speak for yourself. I'm one of the few normal people still around. Welcome Nick!

    I'm well known for my profound statements. LOL You miss me, don't you?

    It's all good Fred. I'm glad we can move past this.
  6. Kimmi
    Of course he's afraid of your dream team roster. What other reason could there be?
  7. Kimmi
    Well, we all know that you have no shame. Just kidding. I'm sure he's a good player to have on a fantasy team. I would pick him up for my team just to put the jinx on him.

    It's always Yanks first. Even when they stink. They have the most obnoxious fans. Then Os, then Rays, or Rays, then Os, depending on which team is doing better.

    The Sox need to shut the very annoying Gary Thorne up early. Do not let me down, Clay!

    I never had the good fortune of seeing him play. There are so many "legends" that I wish I could have seen play in their primes. Good stuff.

    Bostopz, as I and others have mentioned, I do think it would be helpful if you shortened your posts some, and limited each post to one particular argument. For example, the first post you made in this thread jumped from the topic of stolen bases, to momentum, to whether Oakland's collapse was due to Cespedes leaving, to Mariano versus Pettitte in the HOF. Just a suggestion, but perhaps making 4 separate posts, each one addressing one topic, would make it easier for others to read and easier to respond to.

    Bostopz, I will reply to some of your questions regarding stats versus the human element as I have time to. I am not ignoring your questions, I just don't usually have a lot of time to post. On the topics of whether I want you posting in "my" thread and hijacking it: It's not my thread. It's a thread on the forum that anyone is free to post on. It doesn't belong to me. I have no problem with you posting in it, and even if I did, I would not be so arrogant as to tell you that you couldn't. It's not my call, but if you're asking me whether I want you to post here or not, I do want you to keep posting here. After all, I created the thread because of your suggestion. I'm also not worried if the thread gets hijacked. Threads have a way of doing that, and it will get back on topic if there is enough interest in the topic to do so.

    I love reading the comments as much as I love reading the article, perhaps even more. To me, it's baseball porn. ;-) Marc Schneider had some very well thought out and well written responses to the article. He makes some great points. And I agree, the things he wrote sound like things you would say. If someone wants to enjoy a game without thinking of advance analytics, I have no problem with that. The last thing I'm thinking about as I'm enjoying the excitement of a stolen base is how many runs it was worth over the course of the season. However, when it comes to discussions and debates on a baseball forum, IMO, sabermetrics are not only fair game, but they are a necessity. Also, people who are in the baseball world, like announcers and tv analysts should be more educated. Too many false beliefs have been engrained into the general baseball public by announcers saying things that are simply not true.

    I just want to say thanks to User, Spud, MVP, and Cycles for having my back. You guys are awesome. :-* Now, as entertaining as all of this is, let's get back to baseball.
  15. Kimmi
    Fair enough CP.
  16. Kimmi
    IMO, Panda has looked very good in the field. For a big guy, he moves well.
  17. Kimmi
    LOL Spud. You are cracking me up. Have I mentioned how much I like you?
  18. Kimmi
    Arod is sickening. Just sickening. I would rather see anyone else on the Yankees be the "hero" of the team besides him.
  19. Kimmi
    Have you no shame?
  20. Kimmi
    It would be nice if our offense gave him a nice cushion to work with.
  21. Kimmi
    FTR Fred, I won't call you a Goober again, but not because of your silly threats, but because I really didn't mean any harm by it. I didn't think you would be offended. I apologized and admitted that I was out of line. If you can't accept that and move past it, that's fine. If you feel the need to continue taking shots at me because you now have an excuse to do so, feel free. You're hurting yourself way more than you're hurting me.
  22. Kimmi
    Nope, I didn't get that reference either.
  23. Kimmi
    Having a lot of men left on base is often misconstrued as a sign of a bad offensive team. The truth is, however, that leaving a lot of men on base is usually a sign of a good offensive team. Teams can't leave men on base if they're not getting on base.

    I do think he's a good manager and that he gets a lot out of his players. I don't think he's as good as he thinks he is, though.
  25. Kimmi
    Let me first say that I think Maddon is a good manager. Is he as good as Francona? IMO, no, but he is good. The fact that he was a division rival for a while probably doesn't help his likeability factor. What I don't like is that I think he takes things to the extreme in an effort to call attention to himself. This is both in terms of baseball moves and non baseball moves. Some examples are his extreme overshifting, his constant changes in lineups, his "themed" road trips, and his "raindance". I obviously don't know the guy personally, but I have the impression that he thinks he's God's gift to baseball, and he wants all the attention on him.
