  1. Hopefully he pitches well tonight. Like to see him continue to suppress the long ball.
  2. I need some help guys. Can anyone point me in the direction of the thread that had the study of umpires giving home teams the advantage with strike calls? I know someone posted it on this board and I found it interesting, and I'm wanting to use it for a Sports Psych paper.
  3. That is pure gold.
  4. Awesome seeing the counter moves by both managers.
  5. Hit: Melky Double: EE Triple: Reyes HR: Rasmus Walk: Bautista RBI: Navarro SB: Reyes Win: Hutch Loss: Cecil Error: Lawrie
  6. Seem to remember this from years past on the old board. Since I didn't see it up yet, I thought I'd start it just for fun! Who will have the first: Hit: Double: Triple: HR: Walk: RBI: SB: Win: Loss: Error: Feel free to add anything else
  7. Why not Vancouver? From my playing experiences, BC is one of Canada's premier baseball hubs.
  8. Believe it or not, that's not the be all end all in baseball.
  9. You and King really aren't very inviting to new members. You two should take a lesson from fatcow. Your arrogance on a baseball message board is really quite sad. Might be a few beers deep but IDFAF
  10. Out of curiosity, do you guys think EE is as highly regarded around the league as he is by the saber community? I think it's a pretty common theme here that we all view him as "elite", but do the rest of the league's front offices too (save for Tampa). Not only that, but when do we expect to see an EE decline? Someone like JFaS should be able to answer this accurately. If we could infuse the ML roster with young, ML ready talent, does it make sense to keep EE around to DH? Disclaimer: I know there are many variables such as he theoretically should bring in the biggest haul (if he's valued correctly across the league), that he might be looking for his big pay day, etc. Just trying to get a feel for everyone else's opinions.
  11. LAST SEASON, KINSLER says, the Rangers didn't feel like his team anymore. It had been two years since the club won 96 games with Josh Hamilton, C.J. Wilson and Michael Young, one of Kinsler's closest friends. Young, the franchise's career leader in games played, hits, runs, doubles, triples and total bases, was dealt to Philadelphia in December 2012. "It hurt us," Kinsler says. "He held everything together." The Young trade was, in Kinsler's view, a misguided move that left a leadership void in the clubhouse. ------ I know many will disagree, but to me this is still an important part of building a team. Pencil pushers will disagree, and thats fine. But the game is still played between the lines.
  12. All things equal, and each player is playing at a 4 WAR level, give me the guy with quiet confidence. He is the one who people will follow. Actions speak louder than words.
  13. Not quite sure why you play the victim card so often, when you're the one who initiates such action with response like that. For one, they were shockingly cheap, and I don't think anyone ever said a bad word about any of those contracts (IIRC, many thought even Melky would be able to provide value on that contract, and still can). Maybe the deals were a bit of a gamble, but they were still well below market value.
  14. I wouldn't exactly call last year's infusion of contracts penny pinching.
  15. I'd be fairly confident in saying a mass majority of anyone who is currently a "fan" of the Jays knows who VW is.
  16. Might as well just sign Jimenez now
  17. Why would that be? Seems civil.
  18. Tell us more...
  19. If you're referring to beef, this isn't true.
  20. It was a bow. The United States (or Canada for that matter) don't just permit anyone to go out and shoot anything they want. Sometimes, predator populations become too extreme and pose risks to the numbers of other animals like deer, or the safety of nearby communities. Jumping to conclusions isn't really a good idea in any situation.
