Any of you guys reading Trading Bases! I'm about five chapters in, does a real nice job of explaining "advanced" stats in layman terms. Even Phillies fans could probably understand it.

Will wait for the movie

Will wait for the Amaro seal of approval.

Buying a much more expensive, older version of it that will break down before he's done paying it off?

Guy got fired from JPM and then devised a formula that he used to successfully bet on baseball for a year.

Sounds like a Pitt vehicle to me.

Let me spoil the ending for you.

Spoiler

The approval never comes.

One can only hope eznark didn't actually spend money on the book and utilized the local library.

Japan going to win

Something Ryan Braun will never have, other than his tainted statistical achievements.



Another accomplishment



2006 Rookie of the Year too.



HR Derby Champion

He also has the NL Record for Most Homeruns in a single season by a player who has not been linked to steroids or HGH. Braun couldn't touch that shit, and he's on the juice.

58 Homeruns. Only Roger Maris has more.

I'm changing my avatar this season to Ryan Howard. He will return to form. The Phillies will prevail.

You guys are being harsh to Red Sox fans with these Victorino gifs.

I can't hate on the Brewers too much for losing to him. They are good fans, but that was a great moment for Phillies fans. Victorino will always be remembered in Philadelphia for being a player that came up big for the Phillies in the playoffs.

Wow, we have actually reached this point.

Braun actually does have an MVP and a Rookie of the Year though.

He also has the NL Record for Most Homeruns in a single season by a player who has not been linked to steroids or HGH.

I actually just wrote his name on a piece of paper next to the word steroids. Yahoo will report it any second.

 

[Fox318]

Oh man, Yanks.

Just means we can get an upgrade at first

 

[Blearth]

How full is the stadium? Radio announcers haven't mentioned it.

 

[vas_a_morir]

I really hope Japan loses. It's boring having the same team win it every year, kinda like International B-Ball the past 20 years.

I'd be rooting hard for PR if it weren't for King Cunt Molina.

 

[jakncoke]

Thats funny they jump the entire AB for that dude

 

[Windu]

85-90%

 

[jakncoke]

Molina a bitch

 

[vas_a_morir]

I'd be rooting hard for PR if it weren't for King Cunt Molina.

Yeah that guy is not well liked by other MLB players.

 

[carlos]

Well I can't ask for much more from PR, I wanted to see this matchup and I'm proud that they're ahead, but it won't be surprising in the least if they blow it. Good show nevertheless.

 

[jakncoke]

lollll

good call

 

[Windu]

These Japanese players act like they have never seen a breaking ball before. They are swinging at pitches that never have the plate.

Also lol @ Pagan.

 

[weekend_warrior]

MEST.

 

[jakncoke]

killed it

 

[cashman]

Oh man, Japan is going to lose this.

 

[Windu]

 

[BigJonsson]

These commentators suck, says he thinks Rios will bunt.............Rios destroys one


And Yadi Molina is god?

God of shit eaters.

 

[Prade]

Fuck that call.

 

[BigJonsson]

No, it's only the WBC

 

[carlos]

Fuck that call.

I love the commentator saying that was a strike and so close...and then K-zone shuts him up

Terrible call, but up 3-0 in the 8th? no excuses if they blow this.

 

[eznark]

The fuck is Pagan doing there??? Was he asleep?

 

[Blearth]

You can do it, Japan!!!

 

[eznark]

Can't believe they didn't give Pagan an error for that idiotic throw. Cost PR a run.

3-0 really isn't much a lead. Excuse me 3-1....

 

[Sealion88]

japan and 8th innings.... come on PR!!!!!

 

[Blearth]

WTF was that?

 

[eznark]

Clown ass Japan just nuked their chances

 

[Windu]

Lol Japan

 

[zulux21]

so what just happened... I don't have access to the game and have just been watching gameday... all I saw was caught stealing, and a bit later another caught stealing ;

Guy on first attempted to steal. Guy on second did not.

 

[BigJonsson]

Did John Farrel manage the Japanese there?

 

[jello44]

They were supposed to double steal, but the runner on second ran back and the runner coming from first was hung out to dry.
