Re: MLB is a joke

Mets fans are pathetic, plain and simple. They are whiners when they lose and insecure when they win. For those complaining of the (p)wussification of the game, please make a video using the following instructions and post it for the rest of us. 1. Go to you local batting cage. 2.

Re: NO STATS

I'm an official scorekeeper. Unlike what people think, we make few hard decisions. The rules of scorekeeping define our job for us. I would like one thing to change. That instance happened today in the ARI-PIT game. GerrIt Cole pitched five innings and left the game with the lead. In one inning, Sc...

False Promise

Trevor Story is Domonic Brown. And he's Austin Kearns. In 2013, Domonic Brown had a breakout season hitting .272 with 27 HR, 83 RBI, and 8 SB. At age 26, he was finally fulfilling the promise he had shown as the Phillies' top prospect, and was heading into his age 27 season ready to be the next big ...

My favorite part of this debate is the part where Correa crooners get to argue the success of Correa in 2 day spurts, while I get to argue his failures for 35 days at a time.

Re: Top 5s

Funny how much attention on Correa when Goldy has been far worse. Stanton lower on the player rater too. And the 'terrible' start from Correa still has him as a 20/20 player. That's because we all know what Goldschmidt does across an entire season. Nobody knows what Correa does across the whole sea...

Re: Should the Angels trade Mike Trout?

Mike Trout should not be traded, ever. He alone is a reason to go the ballpark. It is a reason other players will sign FA contracts with the Angels. His bargain contract is what makes Pujols contract okay for the next five years, because Trout is worth his contract and Pujols' added together.

Re: Free speech be damned --- Curt Schilling fired

Player B is not even the early '90s Buffalo Bills, lovable losers that they were.

Player B is the 2000s Philadelphia Eagles, a perennial playoff team that had one good shot at the title and missed it. (Admittedly, the Eagles may have been better than the Patriots that year).

Re: On Pace

Seriously,

I'm pretty sure this would take someone in IT 3 minutes to fix. To help identify the problem, on player pages On Pace is currently multiplying stats year-to-date by 162 games instead of projecting what stats year-to-date would be "On Pace" for over 162 games.

Cardinals have too many starters, not enough positions it appears. It feels like they have 17 players rotating through.

Re: Top 5s

For those who inquired, Marte was rested to make sure his hand was perfect. Goldy was given a maintenance day off due to immense respect, but Correa was benched 2 weeks into the season.

Marwin Gonzalez is now batting .500 on days Correa sits. This may become a trend.
