Lol o shit, wat can it be.
Oh ok forget it.

Manny Ramirez, meanwhile, has found his stroke with Triple-A Sacramento. He went 3 for 5 Tuesday and is hitting an even .300. He has nine hits, three doubles and nine RBI in his past five games. This after he had no extra-base hits in his first 11 games with the River Cats.

Friday could be a day the A's target to bring Ramirez up, since they return to Oakland for a nine-game homestand and will get the use of the designated hitter back.

I'm just now getting into sabermetrics. Secondary average is a cool stat. It makes traditional zeros look like heroes. But, usually, the heroes look even more heroic. Adam Dunn, mo' fuckaz.

Oh fuck this.

WOW, Nats slaughtering Jays

i had to look that up lol. I just stick to wRC+ for my offensive stat.

 

[calder]

I already RIP'd the season after Morrow went down, just looking forward to d'Arnaud at this point.

This morning a coworker and I agreed that the Morrow DL announcement was our official death knell for the season. I still expect the team to be good for the rest of the year and be competitive-ish in the AL East, but we're still a few pieces away from really competing I think (pitching lol). But hey, that's what most Jays fans thought going into the year.

Ill have to check out that stat. Still learning wat are the new hip stats.

its basically a better version of OPS+

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I love how the Braves sent Medlen down to get stretched out, but now Delgado and Minor are good again and the Braves suddenly need bullpen help again.

and he would be most useful in the bullpen too. Durbin isn't going to keep this up.

 

[McNei1y]

Good series Jays. Sorry about Morrow :\

6-0 Road Trip! Looking forward to the Yankees series. I think I'll be at the game on Sunday.

I still have my old "Adam Dunn hits a home run" pictures.

 

[carlos]

I might be able to catch a braves/yankees game this next week in NY, I'm not sure I want to go and see the braves get clobbered, but I might not have this chance again for a long while.

Anyone have any recommendations on must see stuff or must eat at new yankee stadium?

Make sure to hit up the right field bleachers and meet the Fuck Youse Guy.

[cashman]

I still don't understand SIERA.

 

[Blearth]

It's pretty amazing that Adam Dunn is still just 32 years old.

Guy has a serious shot at 600 homers.

 

[Brinbe]

Welp, at least I can say I was there in person to see the end of the Jays season. They're so done.

Although, on the plus-side, I got these totally awesome cards!

I was surprised he had 21 HR's. He's got comeback player of the year locked up... well, we do have a lot more season left to be played.

Also, Bryce Harper is such a fucking douche, omg. I used to think he just looked douchey.

Okay, I saw the question to which he was responding. I understand why he did it. Still, he pulled a "cool story, bro" (pretty much) to a reporter.

Reporter deserved it, don't waste someone's time with stupid shit.

As do I.

Same here. I mostly stick with FIP and xFIP.

I understand that it had to be done, I just thought he did it in a decidedly douchey way.

 

[Sanjuro]

I stick with Bill James's temperature gauge.

 

[Windu]

SIERA is just a better version of FIP/xFIP.

I wonder how a knuckleball would work in a dome.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

are we getting a new thread?

 

[vas_a_morir]

are we getting a new thread?

We are in community now. Nobody will notice.

 

[darkside31337]

are we getting a new thread?

That's a clown question bro.


I guess somebody is going to have to make it.

 

[CygnusXS]

Can we at least get a new thread title?

Let's get some more Swish magic tonight. I think Hiroki is going to need some run support, based on his last outings.

Lol at Brandon Belt having the 4th most votes amomg first baseman.

Looks like the Giants will be sending 5 this year.

Posey
Panda
Cain
Melky
Bumgarner

Cain and Posey starting would be awesome.

 

[RobotHaus]

Molina not getting first in Catcher voting is silly.

Also lol at Berkman getting 2nd most while being injured.

 

[CygnusXS]

Heyward over Prado? Uh, ok.
