  2. could be worse, i dont love the guy but he's not bad, he gets caught stealing too much, i hope he has the red light alot with the big guys up if he hits 2nd.

  4. this is very bad.
  5. i really meant over a season, they're a better but still not very good measure over longer periods. Ws rely way too much on run support, why not look at stats that don't? ]Note how this thinking allows you to remove any individual pitcher from bearing the brunt of criticism if i want to criticize a pitcher i can look at his ERA, WHIP, etc, not how many runs his team has scored for him
  6. ]I believe that everyone here (other than you) believes that Wins and Losses are significant measures of pitching ability. Overrated, to be sure, and overly simplistic in the minds of many primitive analysts, but still somewhat useful, especially in large enough samples, to measure approximate and general effectiveness i think Ws and Ls are the only meaningful measdure of a TEAM'S success/failure, but are close to WORTHLESS for an individual pitcher.
  7. The Padres beat the Astros 18-11 today, wow. How about Tim Stauffer, getting staked to an 11-0 lead before he throws a pitch and then not getting the W.

  9. the tarp is on the field at Shea, its an official game so lets just hope it stays there and Maine gets the complete game shutout
  10. Castro smahes one to straight centerfield... can we just start him already?
  11. the skies in Staten Island do not look baseball-friendly and I'm hearing thunder... are we getting this one in? another ex-met in Billy Traber today
  12. i misse game 2 today, what the fuck??? 6 innings 3 runs by Pelfrey is what you pray for given what he's done so far in the majors. feliciano picked the nationals to show he's mortal? Glavine got an AB? way to burn your bench willie.
  13. DocTee wrote: Something I learned today, to my surprise: in Ripken's 20 seasons, he had but three where he scored 100 runs, and only four with more than 100 rbi. Arod, Nomar, Jeter, etc have ruined forever the perception of what a SS needs to do to get respected. I predict that Omar Vizquel will one day be left out of the Hall of Fame largely because of the players that followed him.
  14. I'll agree with Willets.
  15. Easley brings Green home, it 4-2 with 2 on for David Wright
  16. holy shit, green almost got doubled off of 3rd on a RIPPED liner that Zimmerman pulled out of the air
  17. crap. i dont like the run for the double play there, i wanted the big inning against a bad pitcher.
  18. Alou is back, leadoff double!
  19. ]Sosa sure is sucking tonight. ]the Nats pitcher is one of our old castoffs from the dark days, I think yes he is. and yes he is.
  20. I like to think that i know prospects, but I've never heard of this guy. Looks like the Phillies got a steal and I have to wonder why the mets couldn't top such a #### offer.

  22. you're never happy to see a guy get hurt (well, maybe Bonds or Clemens) but this really hurts the Phillies.
  23. sharpie wrote: I can't imagine they'll go into a doubleheader with one fewer pitcher in the 'pen. Can they pitch Pelfrey in game 1, then send him down and have Adkins available for game 2? they can make roster moves between the 2 games, but if Adkins is sent down to call Pelfrey up for game 1 he can't be called back up that quickly. What they could do is send down a hitter before game 1 to get Pelfrey on the roster and then send Pelfrey down after game 1 to activate Alou, but i don't know Alou's timetable.
  24. most definitely, McCann is a guy to have in keeper leagues, Bay at this point really isn't.
  25. who is mccann replacing in your lineup and who goes into bay's spot? that looks like a good trade unless you're benching a good catcher (V-Mart, Mauer)
