ok hammy

bradley isnt in the game. we know who is hitting 5-6.

xbh time. or with a man on third the single would be ok, but man… 19 games (20?) without a HR is more than enough.

2 games over 500 please.

the hit and run is one of the most beautiful things in baseball

Kinsler only lost the voting by 34,000

Good grief

Kinsler and Hamilton didn’t help me decide which player tee to get there. They both reached base.

That's not what I meant

I’m looking at all-star game merch, and am debating between Kins and Hamilton. I couldn’t decide so I said their next ABs would decide for me, and well….they didn’t. Is a hit > a walk?

How is that an error?

I thought you can’t assume a double play, and no runners moved up any more than they otherwise would have

by JBImaknee on Jul 6, 2008 3:44 PM CDT   0 recs

the error allowed the run to score, right?

But you can't assume the double play...

Thus should just go as a RBI fielder’s choice

so how

besides Pacman Jones and Sherrill did the O’s get any other star potential players in the Tejada and Bedard deals becaus if there isn’t a few young studs that I am missing I say they lost both deals?

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 3:55 PM CDT   0 recs

chris tillman from the m's

that was a big win for balt.

tejada, both the young pitchers they got are out for the year with torn labrums. tejada sucks anyway.

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 6, 2008 3:59 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

pretty much just decent salary relief

in that Tejada trade.

I agree with you that

Tejada sucks but I think its more in a Tex kind of way where nobody wants to be around him

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:01 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

more of a he really sucks kind of way

Declining OPS+ since 04. He had a 109 OPS+ last season and now a 99 OPS+

by Gdawg1 on Jul 6, 2008 4:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

UMM

is a 99 OPS+ really that bad?

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:03 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Its below average

And he’s getting paid 13 million dollars to be a supposed power hitter at the SS position. For all the complaining about Young, at least he is still above average and hasn’t seen his game decline that much throughout the years.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw

by Gdawg1 on Jul 6, 2008 4:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He has 10 HR and 44 RBI in the first half

I am pretty sure thats not below avg. for a SS, but I do not have the energy to fight you and look up stats right now I am sick and trying to put up with this game

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I can help you with that

RBIs are pointless and his HRs, if above average for a SS, means that every other part of his game is well below average

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw

by Gdawg1 on Jul 6, 2008 4:08 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

so a triple crown stat is pointless?

sorry I dont agree there is something to being able to drive in runs, us of all teams should be able to appreciate that. and how is “every other part of his game below avg.”?

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:11 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

All 3 of the triple crown stats...

...are rather weak ways to evaluate a player.

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 6, 2008 4:13 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

just to be clear

you could win the triple crown and be a weak player?

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:14 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yes
