Nope! I’m going to keep pretending I can interpret this stuff!

Yes, you can use the eye test on TV to make INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS conclusions, like Kike isn’ta good shortstop. Of course, you could have come to that same conclusion without watching games and just reading box scores…

Does this mean you don’t want to friend me on MySpace?

Of course eye test is different in person than on TV. When you watch a game on TV, you only get to watch what the director shows you. For example, you can watch a hitter hit a flyball, and if you’re seated in a good spot, actually watch the outfielder get a jump on it. On TV, by time the camera cuts to the outfielder, he’s already in motion. And you only see a small area of the park. You missed his jump. You probably didn’t get to see if he took a good route. What exactly are you judging at that point? That he caught the ball? And I think far too many people watch baseball and draw weird conclusions because they don’t understand angles and perspective. I can’t tell you how many people have tried to argue with me that left handed pitchers as are biomechanically different from righties, and they throw across their bodies. And not, you know, that they’ve spent their lives watching baseball get filmed from left-center field…

I’d take both and deal Duran for a RHH RF…

Eye test at games is acceptable from some folks. Eye test watching TV is hardly worth anything. Eye test watching highlights is beyond useless. Eye test to compare players? Almost impossible…

My thoughts are the goal is to isolate the contributions of an individual player. A team win comes from a team. But - and granted, this is more important to baseball execs than fans - what does a team win mean about an individual player?

See, but you never end on “don’t use it” and have to add “don’t need it”. But when someone says RBI is a useless evaluation stat, you get all angry and cry victim. Like in the post above (“whenever I mention it”)…

That’s really the whole point. Sure most of their trade proposals never happen. Neither do most of the trade proposals from any other source anywhere in the world. But most trades that actually do happen are accepted on their model. So they might actually be on to something…

I’m very ok with both…

Do you like any baseball-related sites other than Dave Dombrowski’s OnlyFans page?

Hey, can’t steal his signs….

Stroman all day long. Largely because I’ve actually seen him pitch…

Emblazoned with a Louisville Slugger logo, as Kennedy is ever the opportunist…

Will it help that I don’t have a TikTok account?
-
His opener was Country Joe and the Fish…
-
And Kennedy due to his Multiple Personality Disorder, where he has one for each face…

My agent put that out there to drive up the offer from the Mets. But I’ve said too much already…
-
And in no way dependent on other teammates…
-
You’ll have to talk to my agent…

The hippies all got Novell certificates and took IT jobs years ago..

No blame for Scott McKenzie? I think the cost of living in San Fran was best summed up by Tony Bennett, who clearly acknowledged the cost was much more than just an arm and a leg…

Has Duvall been linked to anyone?

If you don’t get paid heavily, you can’t live there. Refrigerator cartons under the Oakland Bay Bridge are now going for $7.5mill.

Four days ago, it was down to the Giants, Angels, Cubs and Red Sox. Now some talking heads have the Giants and Angels moving on. And it’s down to just the Red Sox and Cubs? I’m predicting tomorrow Imanaga signs with the Dodgers…
