Everything looks great.

I would like to see AB's and IP's added. It could be for the individual stat lines, or with the Totals.

But great job so far..............

There is one owner this season - **Side Note- Don't look him up. I'm not writing this to 'call him out'. It's not his 'fault'. It has nothing to do with him. I just happen to be aware of the fact I'm about to post and it adds to this conversation. (PS, it's not me :evil: ) - End Side Note** - that i...

Really, it's apples and oranges. Those era's never had pitch counts as implemented now. 50 years ago, Warren Spahn and Juan Marichal were battling for 16 innings. 20 years ago, still, not a thought. Five years ago, 125 pitches was 'ok'. Now, Managers get the hebejeebies at 100 pitches. Innings will...

Seems legit. :D Starter W's will follow absent statistical anomalies...

The percentage of games that one of the two starting pitchers got the Win. 1957- .351 1967- .369 1977- .357 1987- .345 1997- .349 2007- .346 2012- .358 2017- .337 And it'll get even lower. The previous years never had the five inning threshold as a thought. It was assumed that each Starter would ge...

Piazza, Rodriguez and Bagwell in, Bonds and Clemens moving up in HOF voting....

Maybe Raffy sees an opportunity to restart the clock on his HOF chances.

O/U for Palmeiro HR's is 22

We also have a one pitch warmup for new pitchers. I believe that MLB should incorporate this as well. The bullpen offers enough warmups and the one pitch would be to get use to the new mound. Eight pitches is absurd. I would be 100% behind 0/1 warmup pitch. I think this rule would be best used in c...

to see how much YOU know- and keep in mind that you forgot the boston media- pinson maybe should be in the hall- but what do these OF"S have in common? andre jones, carlos beltran, larry walker, jim edmonds, dwight evans, kenny lofton, and gary sheffield. and then add these for answer #2 luis s gon...

Me too.

I'm more and more convinced that the base itself is a problem. Those things are hard as a rock, with no give to them. I'm not saying that the bases from 5 or 10 years ago were soft as pillows, but they were slightly "broken-in" and had some "wear" to them. Today's bases do not get that chance. A bas...

I believe a competitor has hired him away. That's what the word on the street says.

For those of us not on the street, what's the word??
Would anyone like to elaborate here or via PM as to Dan's situation or new position??

Wonder if Joe Schmo cares about this... "Filthy migrant shanty towns have sprung up around the outside of London. Their residents, living rent free so they can drastically undercut other workers in the UK, fear Britain voting to leave the European Union (EU)." Ya, doesn't seem like that would impac...

What the hell? Pulling your starting pitcher after four innings/72 pitches? And the Mets already in their bullpen because Fat Bart taking a liner off his hand in the first? Wow...who does Yost have less faith in...Kennedy or his offense? Well, at least it worked for him...no wait...the Mets (you kn...

Mistakes sometimes happen.
As long as the error is caught before any games are played by the effected players, it's not a problem.

It's not like he started a pitcher on Opening Day, saw him get shelled for multiple ER's and then removed him from his lineup.

In the past, doubles were considered a power number. Now, very debateable. The top two doubles hitters are legitimate power hitters in David Ortiz and Manny Machado. After them, any player with 20 or more doubles does not have more than 10 homers. Here is the list of top doubles hitters with their ...

With the four scoreless innings out up by Lackey, all five Cubs Starters have E.R.A.'s below 3.00 To those whose strategy it was to roster all Cubs Starters on fantasy teams....A big SALUTE to you! They are on fire. I just looked this up. Through the first 54 games of the season, which includes tod...

so- coz and naval- do you like the new wrigley where bryants homer bounces off the video board- or the old wrigley where you get to see a bunch of out of work 40 year old men chasing after it on waveland? I wasn't sure how I would feel about the new board, but as soon as I walked in on Opening Nigh...

Here's one option, especially if you are going as a single. Buy one ticket at face value from Cubs online today, there are still some available. When you get to Wrigley, enter through the gate under the Marque. Turn left in the concourse. About 25 feet down the wall on the left side is the customer ...

Not this one...
