ST GDT - New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays - Leroux vs. Dickey - 1:05 PM ET

[G-Snarls]

Dunno what to make of this

 

[Stangstag]

My point is his stats over the past four years are IRRELEVANT and NL aided.

 

Wow.

 

And its a terrible point. I guess Jose Reyes' past stats mean nothing either? He will be a .250 hitter, since his numbers were NL aided.

 

What about other pitchers like Cliff Lee, Stephen Strasburg, Jose Fernandez? They would all suck if they came to the AL right?

 

Strasburg must project to have a 4.00 ERA in the American League

[gruber92]

Unless, perhaps, he was playing injured for part of 2013 and wasn't at his best

 

What projection system says ERA jumps 0.3 runs from age 38 to age 39?

 

The same system that says a 39 year old body will find it difficult to sustain a professional sporting season injury free.

[pickoff22]

WAR is not NL aided. Nor are past statistics irrelevant.

 

This.

[o2cui2i]

Cecil has been great.

[pickoff22]

The same system that says a 39 year old body will find it difficult to sustain a professional sporting season injury free.

 

You should sell this system to teams. You'll probably be a gagillionaire.

goober is now orgasming

Is this for real?

Ok... so now you are changing your argument to injuries.

[Stangstag]

Is this for real?

 

I don't know. Im going by what you claimed in earlier posts.

[gruber92]

Link to gruber projections please.

 

It's called common sense.

[Candy Maldonado]

Charlie Hough pitched 285 innings at 39.

[G-Snarls]

Is this for real?

 

He's making fun of you, not it's not for real

[gruber92]

Goins kept his front shoulder closed nicely against the lefty. Nice double.

[G-Snarls]

Melky is going to be hard to get out this year

 

s*** he looks good

[gruber92]

Melky on crazy fire

[Stangstag]

It's called common sense.

 

I hope you aren't claiming to possess even a shred of common sense when it comes to baseball.

[Rotator]

jbats beats the shift with grounder to 2b and gets a hustle 2b

[G-Snarls]

[Stangstag]

Aaaaaaaaaaand Encarnacion out for 3 weeks

[G-Snarls]

OH s*** EDWIN MIGHT BE HURT

 

f*** no cap filler

[Rotator]

oh no edwin gets hit with next pitch and is taken out of the game. hit the inside of his right arm.

[Shogun89]

Is Lind auditioning that's new Vikings show or something?

[G-Snarls]

Hit on upper right arm

 

Could have been worse

 

But they took him out immediately

[gruber92]

Gruber honestly, you don't have to agree with "advanced" metrics. But you need to understand them first: http://www.fangraphs.com/library/

 

I never said I don't agree with them, I just don't live and die by them. The human element has and always will be an important part of the assessment process.

[Stangstag]

Lesson to everyone else from this thread: If you're going to argue something, at least research what you're talking about first before making a fool of yourself.

 

I don't think that gruber92 realizes he is wrong

[G-Snarls]

Lind delivers

 

This lineup is deep

[Rotator]

lawrie hits one that gets stuck in the fence

[Dylan]

aw man edwin got hit?

[Stangstag]

I never said I don't agree with them, I just don't live and die by them.

 

No, it seems that you choose to completely ignore them.

 

The human element has and always will be an important part of the assessment process.

 

And what makes you qualified to assessments?
