Re: Greg Holland
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...

Re: Brett Lawrie
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...

Re: WORST CALL I'VE EVER SEEN
Thanks. Correction - 1995 was the year I went to Umpiring School, not 1993 (graduated college in '93).

Re: WORST CALL I'VE EVER SEEN
But where are the other umps? The home plate ump couldn't see this and sort of call a quick conference and say "Hey Tim, you're not gonna wanna see this one on sports center tonight." ?? :shock: This brutal blown call and this comment has provided me the perfect opportunity to unleash some thoughts...

Re: Cardinals - 20 Games after Pujols
The Cardinals organization probably took a look at Pujols dropping more than 200 points off his OPS over the last 4 years,combined that with approaching age 32 season and the dollars and length of contract needed to keep him and wisely let him go to the Angels. King Albert went over 100 AB's in a s...

Re: Closer fail
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...

Chicago Venue Review
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...
