Thank you, Atlas. Nicely explained. I still get confused by the requirements for a Save situation. Guess thats what happens when you have an essentially made up statistic, by a sportswriter no less. There is nothing natural or intuitive about the Save. The significance given to the "Save" & its sill...

if he keeps trotting to 1st before the pitch is called- he will be in for a lot more of this. Totally agree. The little tatt'ed up hothead was running 10 feet up the line before the umpire had a chance to even make the call. You're a rooke, show some respect. If he stays in the box until the umpire...

King Albert went over 100 AB's in a s...

Thanks for sharing that. Great stuff.

Guerra meltdown. Joy!

Santiago is a completely different pitcher when behind in the count. When Hitters sit on his fastball, they really seem to square it up and crush it. Although he has good velocity on his fastball, it doesn't seem to have much movement on it. And as Mitch Williams noted on MLB Network (after a mere 1...

Let me first start out by saying that I rarely post on the message boards for fear of coming across as negatively as many of the other posts do. Also, I am a man with a rather discerning eye, a taste for the finer things in life and not easily impressed, a curmudgeon some might say. But I must say t...

Damn, good one. LOL. You sure got me. That's cruel & unusual punishment. I've been checking this thing all day for the draft order.

Channeling my Slow Draft League whip.....Let's GO Greg & Tom!!!!!!!!
