Lol @ judging qb on one half of football... not saying JM will be good... but jeez
-
JaMarcus Russell 2.0?
-
Yeah in this age of PC, you just don't see good troll jobs like that often
-
Also wow... G-Unit lose to JAX.. going there plenty about that here in NY
-
Honestly I think the Redskins may have drafted RG3 over Luck if given the opportunity and that would make today's game that much funnier
-
Bored waiting for my fantasy pick.. just wanted to sound off that if anyone thinks the Blue Jays are a s*** show, consider the Washington Redskins. What a giant f'n fail they are in everything they do. It's just insane how bad they continue to be (on-and-off the field) with one of the most valuable franchises in pro sports. No fun being a fan
-
Mia back loading that Stanton deal looks pretty damn smart
-
yeah this once had an Oscars feel to it but with the boards demise (except fantasy) now it feels like an awards show on A&E or something
-
I think I could be a pretty decent NBA coach if I had LeBron
-
Lol... wonder if he should be offering this good advice on here for free. I'd charge for it
-
I used to follow bb closely 10 years ago so I am like those baseball writers that are commenting years past their time
-
Yeah I don't think this is unfair. You don't really know about guys in terms of being elite until they're on a good team. I think Toronto has a couple recent examples in Bosh and Stoudamire where they put up big numbers on bad teams to make themselves look like a top guy but in reality they aren't. I remember Jordan going out and getting Stackhouse and getting a hard dose of reality about a supposedly top 5 player.

Surprised Wilko decided to pass on Bryant -
As far as Strasburg goes, no doubt one of best starters in league but he's definitely #2 to a Kershaw. So depends what standard you hold him to. Also, lol @ pitcher projections that had Kershaw as like a 3-something WAR guy pre-season. He had avg'd like 6.5 the last 3 seasons and was going into prime... So he's hit 3.7 at the break while missing like 4-6 weeks?

Pretty sure you lose the right to call out BR when you have an avatar showing a porn scene where a girl is forced to do sex acts at gun point...lol Busting chops bro -
Living in Miami is pretty sweet. His wife pro had something to say:)
-
He had 54IP last year and 124IP the year before that, you cant reasonably say that's a guy you're counting on to lead the staff
-
I guess. I cant stand the Yanks as a franchise and hope for them to lose equal to hoping for JAys to win... I guess I just like watching Tanaka pitch.
-
Hopefully he doesn't have Morrow/Santos forearms I guess
-
It's not about feeling bad for him, as you said, he's making $150m regardless so cry me a river... but in general any sport loses out when its star players are hurt... I think it stinks when a MAtt Harvey, JF, or Tanaka goes down... Jays are a .500 team optimistically so I don't get it I guess.
-
Yeah Cruz has been steady with his babip over the years and .312 is nothing unusual. Edwin since 2010 (5 year span) has years with .235, .266, .246, and .247 with a good .292 in there Cruz: .348, .288, .301, .295, .312
-
In my follow up I made it a point to say Edwin was better. What I said was that it's dumb to try and regress their numbers to the same mean (.300 babip) I take no issue to the above numbers pre-season. They reinforce my point really
-
That said... give me Edwin being younger obviously and he's been great 3 years in a row. Cruz had a 147 WRC+ in 2010 so it's no totally out of nowhere but his health has always been an issue as well.
-
This is the kind of thing casuals complain on when advanced stats are used in debates. Babip obviously can be a really good tool to determine luck when used properly but you cant just say everyone has the same mean of .300 and call it a day. When players have 4000 PA its time to stop talking about luck over a career. Now if it's one season and their babip is way less or more than their career avg, that's how it should be used. Edwin alos finished last season with the same babip. Nelson Cruz hasn't had anything even remotely that low since 2006 (in a sss) not too long after first coming off. They work off a totally diff mean
