  1. Too many pitches.
  2. I wonder how many teams have a lower starters ERA than bullpen ERA.
  3. I never had to worry about BABIP because most of them left the park. I guess that's why I got moved to third!
  4. Credit where it's due, Thole has looked pretty good since the break.
  5. Highly recommended from me as well.
  6. Like Ken Griffey Jr, for example?
  7. Good Dickey and good wood is a recipe for success.
  8. Yeah, but Grady Sizemore went 30/30 and was far more valuable.
  9. Changing every station to 24 hour alerts can't hurt either, but we don't do it. If empirical evidence says something doesn't work then I accept it and leave it at that. Several peer reviewed studies say exactly that. Go ahead and try to shame me or whatever, but the facts are on my side.
  10. Not yet, but I have 2 young nephews that I treat like my own. I'd want them to call in the army, search and rescue, everything if they were missing. That doesn't suddenly make an ineffective (at best) policy more likely to work.
  11. The two I read about were kidnappings where the child was in no danger (with close relative) and a dangerous confrontation was initiated by police or civilians. What it boils down to is that situations where A) the child is with a dangerous person and is still alive at the time of the alert, do not exist for all intents and purposes. Also, constantly using alerts in places that are an obscene distance from the kidnapping reduces any effectiveness that they would have by a substantial amount.
  12. There are lots of articles about it, even instances where amber alerts caused a death. You try to look compassionate and you come off as ignorant.
  13. Jays hit ball hard: catch Royals pop up: single
  14. Maybe you should know the facts before you criticize others. They don't work and are just a way to collect political brownie points instead of addressing the real issues.
  15. Amber alerts are done for a good reason but they don't work and shouldn't be used anymore. http://m.cjr.sagepub.com/content/33/2/159.abstract
  16. She went missing 3 hours ago in a city 1000 km away, she's not here. Keep them local.
  17. Yeah some girl on Trudy Court wherever the hell that is. I missed Bautista's at-bat.
  18. f*** amber alerts. I live 1000 km away from Hamilton.
  19. A bit like the Colabello play in the playoffs last year.
  20. This guy Ventura is good hittin'
  21. This is the least enjoyable baseball I have ever watched.
  22. I don't really care what you think I should have done. I was just making my post make sense because of the bad timing. End of story.
  23. You proved that you edited it while I was responding. Neither one of us did anything worth discussing. You could and should have dropped it and not started this childish argument.
  24. You already admitted to having it wrong and you could have dropped it after I corrected you. This happens dozens of times every day and nobody cares. Quit being a child and drop it.
