dontrelle

it is a stupid stat. it means nothing if you don't score off of it. it's as simple as that. don't reply to me again if you don't have anything else to say.

cabrera

no i would never think of something like that. choi could be on base 40% of the time when lowell & cabrera don't hit home runs.

portugal is crap. retire figo you ball hog. move, move, move, stolen.

provolone

mine that's why i picked it.

yeah well heart & confidence isn't leading them to a championship this year. 440726[/snapback] And it didn't help the Marlins last year? :banghead Just shutup you annoying ungrateful excuse for a baseball fan. 440729[/snapback] the freaking marlins team from last year was WORLDS BETTER than the damn devil rays this year you IDIOT. go get that in your head. compare the line ups. 440733[/snapback] Was It? At the time..... A blazing fast CF A great hitting 3B An underrated pitching staff Defensive ability in the OF that took away runs from hitters Smallball with speed at the top of the lineup giving people fits I see alot of similarities And they have a much better pen than we had last season. 440739[/snapback] ok, the marlins pitching staff is worlds better than the devil rays. and aubrey huff is no mike lowell. nor does rey sanchez compare to luis castillo. nor is toby hall better than pudge or tino / derrek lee or jose cruz jr. > miguel cabrera. you may find some similarities. but that d-rays team isn't close to the marlins team.

Ok Dontrelle, maybe that your a fish fan just starting now, you don't understand what it was like for us to even approach .500. You have no respect. 440725[/snapback] bingo, the dude doesnt know what it was like watching this team lose for so many years and doesnt really understand how excited we were last year just to be in the playoff race and therefore he doesnt respect the rays amazing turnaround. who cares if they dont make the playoffs, for them to be in the position there at now after their start and history is an amazing accomplishment. 440736[/snapback] don't tell me what i do and don't understand. i understand perfectly fine. i just show my emotions different than the rest of you and don't always share the same exact opinion like everyone else here tends to do. I APOLOGIZE if you're offended that i don't support the devil rays. ok?.. :thumbup

i'm going to find it next year!

does anybody have common sense? obp - the % the time you are on base. i don't care if you're OBP is 1000. if you don't score, it means nothing. maybe i'm the only one who understands what i say. you can get on base all you want, it's an over-rated statistic. i'm not saying being on base is bad, but the STATISTIC as a whole is stupid. you can go 4/4 every game with singles, and get stranded. yay. if you want a real statistic, they should make one that includes OBP + RUNS SCORED. that's productivity. (yes i realize it matters who bats behind you). it's just a stupid statistic. that's my opinion on OBP, and i'm not changing it.

yeah well heart & confidence isn't leading them to a championship this year. 440726[/snapback] And it didn't help the Marlins last year? :banghead Just shutup you annoying ungrateful excuse for a baseball fan. 440729[/snapback] the freaking marlins team from last year was WORLDS BETTER than the damn devil rays this year you IDIOT. go get that in your head. compare the line ups.

oh come on. interleague play is a JOKE. the powerhouse teams are in the NL, it's as simple as that. what does the AL have? the RED SOX and the YANKEES. that's it. no one else can even come close to contending for a title in that league. the NL Central blows the entire AL away.

yeah well heart & confidence isn't leading them to a championship this year.

Read my post again. I am quoting you. *snore* ps. go away... 440709[/snapback] no s*** you're quoting me. that's the point. you quoting me & your comments towards me make no sense.

I KNOW THAT PAY ATTENTION TO THE DAMN CONVO. i dont want CHOI as a leadoff, BELIEVE ME. going by what the OTHER GUY was saying, about how great his OBP is. and btw, your job as a lead off guy is to get on base. that's the soul purpose of a lead off guy. to get on base for your big bats. plus he wanted to move cabrera out of the 3, and put in choi. PLEASE. cabrera is on the all star team for a reason. (and not because mckeon picked him). he deserved to go. not choi.

They will not be in it come september theyere starting pitching isnt good enough....now if they aqquire 1 or 2 starters its a different story 440704[/snapback] exactly. :thumbup

sorry, don't get on me for being on some devil rays bandwagon. i'm far from it, that's for sure. the d-rays actually put together some sort of win streak for the first time in their existance and everyone gets excited. the bottom line is the season isn't half way over yet, and they're a .500 team. sure that's good for THEM. but it's not that great. they're not winning the division, and they won't make the playoffs. and don't use that stupid record comparison against the marlins. the marlins play in the powerhouse NL. the devil rays play in the GOD AWFUL AL. put them in the world series. marlins sweep, 4-0.

well then he should be the #1 lead off guy. not in the 3 hole. 440629[/snapback] :huh Why even argue with this guy? Putting him first? This guy will obviously suggest any spot in the lineup for Choi except the 3 hole. He obviously doesn't understand that Choi in front of Lowell/Cabs puts our best OBP in front of the power, thus taking adavntage of the fact that he is on base. 440675[/snapback] you don't even know who you're quoting. you want your lead off hitter on base all the time. and if choi's obp is so high.. why doesn't he bat first? that's the point. got it? pay attention to the convo. i don't want choi anywhere higher than 5.

obp is over-rated. obp only matters if you score. who cares if you're on base and get stranded. 440655[/snapback] :plain That may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. 440663[/snapback] then you're a hermit.

i'll give you $1,000 to make KOCH MIA IN KOREA!

:notworthy 439071[/snapback] Your going to keep that right hand active inside the theater right? Btw... no I won't watch it... :plain 440689[/snapback] :thumbdown
