  1. lol. but i think the point is made about statistics and the story you can "spin". btw - never ever ever steal 3rd base when trout is up! better off staying on second!!!!
  2. i'm psyched. saw it 30 years ago in Hartford & NJ. taking my 11 year old this go around....
  3. i would love to but U2 Joshua Tree 30 year reunion tour at the meadowlands....
  4. that was a nice win. barnes looked awesome in the 8th. kimbrell back on track after a hiccup the day before.
  5. Mike Trout batting 9th: .143 / .179 / .404 Mike Trout batting 8th: .200 / .260 / .704 Mike Trout 0-2 count: .210 / .333 / .549 Mike Trout 1-2 count: .196 / .331 / .539 Pitcher Ahead: .252 / .432 / .696 Man on 3rd: .231 / .323 / .706 Man on 3rd 0 out: 000. / .429 / .000 Vs Philadelphia Phillies: .118 / .235 / .402 Vs Pirates: .160 / .160 / .410
  6. you are missing the original point though to prove a different point. moving X-bo to 3b means we now need to get a SS for the next handful of years. let me know the thumping ss that is available right now for the next 4 years? we need to have power from 1 of those 2 positions. generally it is much easier to find a power hitting corner infielder than middle infielder. Xander hits like a middle infielder, and plays adequate middle infielder defense and has improved as he grows up. it wasn't a blanket statement that xander cant play 3b defensively. i am on record in this very thread stating that i find it unfair that posters use 2014 3b stats to say he cant play 3b. so, let me know the power hitting SS that you see us obtaining as we move Xander to 3b?
  7. he got drilled in the kneecap on sunday. i'm guessing that is the reason.
  8. how's panda's swimmers ear? does he get another shot?
  9. yes. if someone is stating that Devers should already be up they are saying they know more than the FO.
  10. i definitely feel your frustration with 3b and never frown on out of the box thinking. in this particular case, i dont think that X-Bo has the power numbers that i would like to see from a corner position. i do think his arm is good enough for 3b and i dont think it's fair for people to use his 3b defense from 3 years ago as stats as he has gotten way better at defense since that time. also, at this moment i just dont see the SS replacement to initiate the move of Xander to 3b...especially with Devers in the wings. apparently DD will try 101 things at 3b prior to bringing Rafi up, but i dont believe one of them will be moving X-bo to 3b.
  11. when he sits out of a game for a fingernail i may consider labeling him a pansy.
  12. these are all my opinions that i post on the internet. that said...i don't disagree with your statement on "difference" but i do believe there is a difference outside of what you state. also pansy and attitude have nothing to do with each other. a player can have a great attitude and be a pansy.....
  13. i believe he did pitch a no-no. it really is incredible that he made it to the MLB level and stuck for awhile. some serious determination he had....
  14. lol. many of the kids parents think so. as for POM trade....i hated it the day it happened but could almost understand the why of it. when we had the opportunity to re-neg on it due to the injury to POM i cannot fathom why DD stood pat....
  15. we are only on the hook for league minimum.
  16. i have kids on my 11u team that use crazy glue to fix stuff like this and compete. this "injury" should never have even been brought up to the public, media, anyone. i stand by my statement that price is a pansy.
  17. the salary is not the issue. it's what we gave up in the trade. way too much for a reliever turned starter with less than a full season of stats under his belt at the time....
  18. you answered your own question but just to drive the point home..... we are currently half way there as we already have 1 of the 2: D. Price
  19. great post. i agree 100%. he has a great attitude and gives 100% effort.
  20. big dick rick has been more like limp dick rick this season. time to stiffen up.
  21. it was leading right here. as every post on the interweb does.....
  22. basically what i've been saying.
  23. 69, 67, 60, 57 4 times in 4 situations. that's 100%. i didnt bother going back any further after lunch because i made my point. Farrell 100% has a script when it comes to 7th, 8th, 9th inning in close games with a lead. given a rested pen and a lead of 1-3 runs it is 100% certain that JF will: Kelly 7th Barnes 8th Kimbrell 9th that's a fact. not an alternative fact.
  24. no, that's not the gist of it...if you are referring to me. show me where i said anything about good or bad.
