Mark Ellis inks 1 year deal with the Cards

[Dr. Dinger]

How about Arencibia's -44 wRC+ in 66 Sept/Oct PAs? His K% was almost three times higher than his OBP.

 

Damn that is some impressive out-making ability. I knew he was awful, but I didn't know he was 11 wRC+ in the 2nd half awful.

[GD]

I said they were both just as valid a position based on a SSS, not equally ridiculous. Regardless, the point is that pointing to a guy's stats in a (VERY) small sample size is idiotic, as you can find examples of horrible stretches for even the best player on the planet. It's just stupid to keep repeatedly bringing it up and laughing at him for it, while trying to draw a conclusion off of it. Sorry, bit of a pet peeve for me.

 

That's the thing. I'm pretty sure that King isn't using that as the basis for his opinion, and more as a talking point.

You sure?

 

As the league adjusted after his first 30 PAs, he began to slow down to a tune of a 33 wRC+ over his next 90 PAs.

 

Its up to Goins to make the improvements and adjustments with his bat so that he isn't a 33 wRC+ guy going forward, otherwise he will be headed for the Japan leagues.

[GD]

You sure?

 

In the Ryan Goins thread he used Goins' MiLB numbers to reach a conclusion, I believe, but I guess King needs to clarify.

 

This is a great way to not do my paper.

Lol, sorry. Get back to your paper. That's far more important.

[kcjaysfan]

Made me think of this.

lmao!

No, god damnit, you're supposed to be distracting me.

What topic is your paper on?

[SAAviour]

Ryan f***ing goins must be the most talked about player ever talked about on this forum.

 

I believe ryan goins and his John McDonald stick is an upgrade over the s*** show of izturis and Boni that we witnessed last year. I swear I'd take him over those two if he went hit less all season, and i was a huge fan of picking up Boni at the time when we did.....f***in hate the guy now though.

 

Bring in 2 top quality pitchers, along with the upgrade we have of dumping JP and Boni, and I believe we have a shot next year. We can always upgrade 2nd base at the deadline when/if we're actually in the race.

It's not really a *paper.* It's a 4 page report along with a poster (i'm not artistic in the least) for physical geography, and then a 30 mark assignment for french, then a math midterm tomorrow, so the best thing to do? ARGUE ABOUT RYAN GOINS!

 

My teacher said she didn't care how we format the report, as long as it's 4 pages. Hehe. There's her first mistake.

That doesn't sound so bad. I'm about three pages into a 10 page extragalactic astrophysics research paper. The formatting is fairly loose for the paper, but it has to be a 12-pt font, with 10 full pages of text (figures come after), an additional half-page abstract, and half a page for responses to questions we were asked after a 20-minute oral presentation we gave earlier this week.

[GD]

Font size 14/16, spacing 3 (lol)

 

Size 13 Arial and double spaced atm is proving fairly easy. Now if I could get off the board and facebook and focus I'd be golden lol

 

School is easy but I'm lazy

It's really not I'm just really easily distracted.

 

That's fairly loose, but really freaking long. Also a harder subject than geo.

10 pages isn't actually that long for an astro paper.

Yeah, I was actually kind of thinking that you might have trouble condensing it that far.

no

stop

 

That's messed up, man.

 

What do you have to write about for geo?

 

Boreal Plain.

lol 2.5 (in normal space) page geo paper aint that hard... just hammer it out an hour before midnight

Nope, it's grad school.

More like boring plain, amirite?

You and me both. Why'd you select the course tho?

Oh god ew.

 

It's pretty f***ing boring.

 

You and me both. Why'd you select the course tho?

 

Because it's mandatory. I should've taken academic though. I'm pulling a high 70 in gifted geo as my lowest mark but I'd be getting high 80 in academic. History will be better next year. Wanted to take law but you need a history prerequisite for it.

You're only in grade 9? Damn

[GeorgiaPeach]

Pretty sure everyone would say that Goins is an MLB ready glove/benchman... The problem is handing him the starting job when we're supposed to contend... Shocked that this is still being argued.

 

Doesn't every team's FO pretty much give a positive spin on their team to their fans about the upcoming season? So I'm not really sure where this we're supposed to contend is coming from. Is it coming from you being spoon-fed what the media has slopped on your plate, or did you really think this team last year or this was a contender?

Sometimes I forget how young you are. 10 pages in university is nothing, especially double spaced, I had 1-4 lab reports due each week that were that long.

[TheHurl]

Damn that is some impressive out-making ability. I knew he was awful, but I didn't know he was 11 wRC+ in the 2nd half awful.

 

and a 20 on the road for the season.

[GeorgiaPeach]

There's no way GD is 14

[DuckDuckGose]

There's no way GD is 14

 

Pretty sure he is 15 but same s***. He's one of the younger frequent posters.

[NorthOf49]

Goodness I thought GD was in Grade 12, as old as Fatcow. He knows way more about baseball than I did when I was 14. Which was quite a bit... I ran a class fantasy baseball pool in Grade 9 lol.

 

I had to write a 20-page work report for this term (I'm on co-op), but the formatting was crazy generous: Double-spaced, four cm margins and eight pages of fluff (title page, letter to my coordinator, table of contents, list of figures, summary, introduction, references and an appendix). Hammered it out in one weekend.

He's frequent???

[fatcowxlive]

In Ontario, Geography's only a prerequisite in grade 9, and History's a prerequisite in grade 10.

 

He's taking Geo this year and History next year.... he's in grade 9 lol
