pickoff22 Verified Member Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Found this to be a great read. My favourite stat - he has given up 58 stolen bases - in 15 friggin years. Wow. http://grantland.com/features/mark-buehrle-surprising-success/
TheHurl Site Manager Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Buehrle is in the other Tommy John family the one you want him to be in. He continues to surprise me.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Man, great read. Incidentally, it not only explains why Buehrle consistently out-performs his projections but also why Clayton Kershaw does the same (Clayton Kershaw hasn’t reached 1,600 innings yet, but he actually has a higher pickoff rate than Buehrle.)
jb22 Verified Member Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Wait, what? Spanky nailed a lot of guys on the mound with his Jimmy move? Were you wearing a hat ... maybe a Jimmy hat ... for protection? Stick to arguing with everyone jokes just aren't your thing.
Dick_Pole Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I refuse to argue with everyone jokes. And I don't understand why I should stick with them if they aren't my thing. But I appreciate the unsolicited feedback, commaless guy like someone else we know, but just coincidentally so, since you're not an alias of another poster. In the 4chan rules of internet nerdery, a good zinger always trumps grammar nazi. You lost this round, sorry.

You got me, I joined in May 2013 in order to save my account for that one, obvious, (like the commas?)comment.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I have no idea what 4chan is It's a fun community with a ton of cool guys. You should check it out.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Great article, really enjoyed reading it!
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Great article, really enjoyed reading it! Rany is pretty great. I should probably follow him more closely.
Dick_Pole Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Hmmm ... maybe I will ... or maybe, just maybe, I feel like I'm being baited into making a bad decision. Like that time they told me to go to first base with Spanky, so he could nail me with his jimmy moves. Oh Moogy, your so mistrusting of people!
