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.

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

UMM
is a 99 OPS+ really that bad?
by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:03 PM CDT up reply actions 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.

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 up reply actions 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

so a triple crown stat is pointless?

All 3 of the triple crown stats...
...are rather weak ways to evaluate a player.

not trying to argue but
if thats possible then you would think that it would happen more than once every 30 years or so
by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
not really
You have your contact hitters, your power hitters, and your good hitters in good-great lineups. There are few that hit for contact well-enough and hit for enough power to lead the league in both those categories. There are even fewer that happen to be in a good enough lineup where they can lead the league in RBIs.

However, I don’t think average/homers/RBIs are the best way to judge a player’s offensive contributions.
by Adam J. Morris on Jul 6, 2008 4:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I dont
think they are the only way but I do think in most scenerios they are some very good indicators of what kind of production you can get from them

Tejada
He’s got a .259 EQA. That’s not real good, even for a shortstop.
He’s not a good defensive player.
His HRs and RBIs are irrelevant. He’s just not a real good player anymore.

There is more to baseball
than hitting a few HRs and being able to get lucky that you’re hits are with runners in scoring position.

I think
if you are looking at a player that is on a team with a very low OBP as a team then I think RBI’s are not so important but on an avg MLB team I think all three of those stats are can be very telling of what kind of production a player will give

Nobody's perfect
Everyone gives up a run every now and then. Lets hope that’s the only one that CJ gives up over the next couple of months.

CJ doesn't worry about stats.
It’s all about the end result.

considering he kept his job when he got a decent save % and bad era
and lsot his job when he started blowing saves… i think you could tell it to him.
2 games over 500 please.

CJ thanks the offense for getting so many runs, to allow greater room for error.

That's what we wanted
Before this series started 4-2 now we need to win 3 out of 4 against the angels.

"why is it always this hard....." "Because we are the Rangers"
Ain’t that the damn hard truth, if they ever get pitching, look out Baseball, a win is a win i guess, now lets see if they can take 3 of 4 from the Angels, not likely but we can hope.

Hey atleast CJ didn't walk anyone...
as there is no excuse with a 3 run lead. A save is a save and he’s now 21 for 23 which is an awesome percentage.
Just think of it this way. If CJ can get that kind of percentage when he’s somewhat struggling, wait til he gets into a groove. Yes, he’s probably gotten a tad lucky so far with that ERA but he’s gotten it done regardless.

Forgive me if this is too basic
Talk radio is phased through what is basically a hard drive…what you hear on the radio is often 07-30 secs behind the real conversation. It is quite possible he said something totally unfit for the airwaves.
