Regression to the mean thread

[Spanky99]

It's more like this:

 

Thread starts on interesting premise

Everyone agrees on something usually unrelated

Someone disagrees and the swarm jumps all over them

Mods are called for

Thread degenerates into rating female sportscasters TNA

Spanky makes a laconic comment that adds nothing

Thread is locked or forgotten

 

Rinse and repeat...

 

S'up?

I wish Alexandra Daddario was a sportscaster. I would rate her quite high.

My top 3 candidates 2016 season:

 

Colabello v 2015 season

Estrada v 2015 season

Sanchez v 2016 spring training

 

 

Good start

[Maahfaace]

Good start

 

Good? Maybe if you're a negative nancy

[John_Havok]

Good? Maybe if you're a negative nancy

 

That's one way to look at it.

 

Another would be not to bet on the likelihood of a career busted minor leaguer carrying a .411 babip through another season, when the only way he can be relevant is to dupicate that highly unlikley scenaio, since he absolutely and inarguably sucks at defense.

Good start today though.

I've got a progression to the mean candidate.........Gibby

 

He was good today in his decisions minus starting Bello vs Archer.

[bones10]

What did he do today other than set the lineup and swap Stroman for Osuna?

 

I guess he challenged the call at first base. Other than he could have been asleep. Like 15 of his hitters K'd. Not even a chance to see a hit and run.

 

Of the three things he did today, two were obvious and one was idiotic.

I'm trying to be positive...long season ahead, still time to go either way lol

Pretty hard to deny this, but i do think he'll contribute with some timely hitting this season. He seems to be lunging a bit at the moment, he'll adjust, although repeating what he did last year should not be expected.

Against a LHP, I would hope so.

He's not actually that bad at defense. It can definitely be argued.

Predicting a regression from Colabello is like predicting the sun will rise tomorrow. Really wish the Jays moved him, even if it was for a fringy minor league SP with options. Reserving a bench spot for a 1B is not a good use of the bench.

It doesn't hurt them to find out his true talent. He's cheap and expendable
