    Yup, but I will suggest you bet the house on a non 5th place finish.

    Its value is only in a very narrow useage, and it is often misused. When you have large enough sample sizes, not very often, and they are somewhat balanced, comparing two catchers on the same team- pitcher by pitcher, I feel those numbers have meaning and significance. Several sample sizes between Leon & Vaz have 250+ PAs with each catcher. When almost all of them show a wide disparity, and with a couple it's around or over 1.50, it matters, to me. Comparing Wong and McGuire's tint samples of differing pitchers is misuse of the stat.

    Indeed, Vaz is a major overpay.
  4. moonslav59
    Nope!

    You'd hate Houston, and maybe for many other reasons. The sports talk shows are all about the NFL draft and have been all winter.

    What a yo-yo season, so far, for the Sox. We need stability and continuity in a bad way.

    Since Wong has played more, McGuire has a better WAR per game or PA than Wong. Before tonight fWAR 1.1 Duvall (37 PAs) 1.0 Devers (75) 0.9 Dugo (77) 0.3 McGuire (30) 0.2 Wong (39) 0.2 Ref (47) 0.2 Turner (78) bWAR 1.0 Devers 0.9 Duvall 0.9 Dugo 0.3 McGuire, Wong & Turner

    If they use the catchers by a L-R platoon, Wong should end up catching every SP'er we have. If they go the usual route and match pitchers with specific catchers, he'll not catch some SP'ers. A platoon based on L-R offers a wider variety.

    I remember saying this often from the mid 70's into the early 2000's, "I'll take 10 last place finishes for just one ring." Now, I'm spoiled, but I'd still rather have 1 ring and 10 last place finishes in an 11 year stretch than being heartbroken for 11 straight years, but with no last place finishes.

    Reminds me of Richards.
  11. moonslav59
    It's uncanny how you never miss an opportunity.
  12. moonslav59
    Huh?
  13. moonslav59
    That .310 OBP is so enticing!
  14. moonslav59
    I'm not really for demoting Casas or benching him, but McGuire needs to be in the line-up. He only has 4 PAs vs LHPs, so maybe he gets a short leash, there. Wong has started 3 games vs a RH'd SP'er. (IMO, that should stop, of McGuire needs to play somewhere else when a RH'er starts.)
  15. moonslav59
    Sometimes, the start a righty, then bring in a lefty in the second or third inning.
  16. moonslav59
    He lead the league in HRs, every year!

    I went to opening day in Tampa many years ago. (We blew the game in the 9th. It was the "closer by committee" season.) It was easy in and out, and I liked the stadium. It wasn't great, but I got good seats for pretty cheap.
  18. moonslav59
    Not once. I went to a couple Skeeters games when seats were discounted. No interest in going to see the Astros play the Yanks.
  19. moonslav59
    I go to Astros games, when they play the Sox. My point was that there are a significant amount of baseball fans that will never become Rays fans and or attend any games not against their favorite team. It does not help small and mid market teams to have that dynamic. It's just one factor- not the whole ball of wax.
  20. moonslav59
    He had two off in a row just a couple days ago.
  21. moonslav59
    Yoshida with another "day off."
  22. moonslav59
    Too many New England transplants to ever get enough people to follow the local team. It happens some, here in Houston, too. Huge city, but there are tons of non-Astros fans everywhere.
  23. moonslav59
    And EV is not known for defense either, so yes... A LOT!
  24. moonslav59
    The "internal options" will end up being Joely, Paxton and maybe Mills, someday.
  25. moonslav59
    If you look at some of DD's farm additions, they are among the top prospects in our system, now, plus Bello graduated. He did aid the gap, too.
