    Golf

    Kimmi replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Other Sports

    This golf thread is not as exciting as your previous golf thread. Just kidding. Very informative, for those who are into golf.

    In terms of mojo, I am more of a "What Have You Done For Me Lately" type of person. Talk to me after the Yankees series.
  3. Kimmi
    I understand it's all in fun. I also think it's hilarious that Thunder has been banned from starting game threads. He must have awful mojo. LOL
  4. Kimmi
    I believe I posted that about you a few weeks ago, that you don't really disagree with me, but that you like to argue just for the sake of arguing. Anyway, as I've said before, that's why I come here. I enjoy a good debate. About baseball. Not politics. LOL
  5. Kimmi
    I have no way of knowing for sure, but I am pretty sure that he is not the guy that you are thinking of - the one that was posting creepy bat pictures or something?
  6. Kimmi
    This, I will grant you.
  7. Kimmi
    LOL If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with blah blah blah. If you would post something that I could agree with, I wouldn't need to have the last word. ;-)
  8. Kimmi
    LOL He's a good guy. He's another one that I've been posting with for about 6 years now on several different boards, along with Bellhorn and Fred.
  9. Kimmi
    My bad. Carry on with your stories.

    There's a difference between a true opinion and making a claim that you say is your opinion, but has been proven to be false. If you say that base stealing is one of the most exciting aspects of the game, that is your opinion. If you say base stealing is one of the most important aspects of an offense, that is not your opinion. That is a false statement, and it is something that I can't let fly. As far as "calling out" not being your thing, please. You may not call it that, but you do it all the time. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I just think that you should have some facts to back it up.
  11. Kimmi
    No, that would be you that it's not sitting well with. Henry and most of the rest of us are fine with it for now. On a different note, thank goodness we are done playing in a NL park for now. I hate having to sit one of Papi or Napoli and having a pitcher bat in his place.
  12. Kimmi
    It was a good start to BTR's mojo, but it's a little premature to call his mojo magical. And yes, I am an expert on mojo. LOL If he brings us a sweep of the Yankees, I'll reconsider my position.
  13. Kimmi
    What you saw over your 50 years is anecdotal evidence, which is both biased and selective. That is not a knock on you, but just human nature. Believe me, I'm not trying to say that you don't know what you're talking about. I am guessing that the majority of major league managers and baseball players, whom I think know a lot more about baseball than I do, would agree 100% with you. That doesn't make it right. As far as Yaz making a living using the hole in that situation, that hole exists whether Papi is on first base or Ellsbury is. The advantage to a batter with a runner on first base is real. The added advantage to a batter when that runner is disruptive is not real. About the sacrifice bunt, how long did managers employ the sacrifice bunt incorrectly, thinking that it was a good offensive tactic? Some managers still use it incorrectly, including Farrell. It takes a long time for people to accept that what they have believed forever is wrong.

    This contract is a good deal for both sides. Another benefit to signing him early, which is no small deal, is that it gives the Sox one less hole to have to fill next offseason. If Porcello had been allowed to hit FA, there is a good chance that his price would be higher than what the Sox would be willing to pay. That would leave them with at least two starting pitching spots to fill.
  15. Kimmi
    Thank goodness for posters like you.
  16. Kimmi
    Thank you for your vote of confidence. You know me well enough to know that I don't post things on a whim. Well, at least not usually. LOL
  17. Kimmi
    I'm not trying to "win" anything. The reason why I come to these forums is to debate these very topics. It's something that I enjoy doing. Yes, I feel strongly about my opinions because, unlike you, I do like to do my homework. When I make a claim, especially one that goes against the grain, you can be sure that I've researched the topic and can back up what I say. If someone posts a false claim as fact, I'm going to call them on it. As a lawyer, you should certainly be able to understand that.
  18. Kimmi
    You can continue to call the data invalid, faulty, not a "study" etc. because it doesn't support your opinion, but that doesn't make it any less valid. It's funny how you were ready to accept the data on Billy Hamilton, because it supported your opinion, even though that was based on 49 PAs. I didn't show you data from one article, but from 3 different "studies". The guys that do this research do this for a living. They know what they're doing. They acknowledge that the research isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean that their results are incorrect. I can be convinced by evidence also. I've been wrong before, so I wouldn't be surprised to be proven wrong on this. Show me some evidence, otherwise all you have is an unsupported opinion. Saying that you've watched baseball for 50 years is not evidence.
  19. Kimmi
    No, it's not. And you have no idea whether the market would bear the price for Porcello.
  20. Kimmi
    I know that he is not a lawyer. But all of us have a little bit of "lawyer" in us. Bell is one of the most logical and common sense posters on this board, and he has the ability, better than most, to convince me of an opposing argument.
  21. Kimmi
    Exactly. And the verdict is still out on whether the Sox did in fact overpay or not.
  22. Kimmi
    Bellhorn is not here to give himself homework, nor to convince anyone of his opinions. However, the lawyer within him has looked at all of the evidence, and he is convinced that he is right.
  23. Kimmi
    That was payback for last night's non grand slam that should have been.
  24. Kimmi
    It's nice to see Xander come through. And all this with 2 outs. Gotta love it.
  25. Kimmi
    I like base stealers too Spud. And I like having a catcher who can throw out would be base stealers. Speed is a deadly weapon. I'm not discounting the importance of "speed" in any way. That said, stolen bases are still overrated. IMO, speed is more important on the basepaths for being able to take the extra base on a hit.
