I think what MVP is alluding to is the willingness on the part of some to name-call and belittle anyone who doesn't get into lockstep with their "stats are the only thing that matters" mantra.

 

 

Well, that's not exclusive to stat heads. I agree though and I never see the point in bring that attitude to the table, regardless of your belief system.

IT'S THE ZARATE KID!

gotta love puns :brigginbounce

Here we go fellas.

the comeback begins...Bring it on Joe

say it ain't so Joe...hit the showers!

I think what MVP is alluding to is the willingness on the part of some to name-call and belittle anyone who doesn't get into lockstep with their "stats are the only thing that matters" mantra. More and more I find value in baseball stats but I refuse to discard, or allow someone brand as worthless, the knowledge base I have having attending over 2,500 MLB games and watched everyone from Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio and Bob Gibson to today's ballplayers.

 

Some things are just not quantifiable.

Amen brother!

WHAT THE f*** is today "Look at strike 3" day or something? How many K's lookin' is that?

um...why did freddy double switch Cabrera after double switching Willingham?

 

 

anyone?

Anyone have the scoop on why Cabs was taken out? All I have is Gameday, and that just says he was replaced at 3rd by Amezaga.

Has anyone else noticed we now have two pens?

 

Pen A is Gregg, Lindstrom, Miller, Gardner, Tankersley

 

Pen B is Zarate, Wolf, Garcia, Kensing

 

And that Fredi will only use these guys together. You nevr see miller/garcia in the same game. Even if we come back, he's still content with that day's pen.

Nice looking dp there.

well that sucked
