His career numbers are better than Carl.
Meaning the 1,000 games before this year Carlos was still > Carl, and the 65 games this year Carlos is > Carl.

maybe, just maybe there is a difference in scouting ability between a guy who was in the majors for 6 years and someone out of high school? i mean just maybe.
Albert was drafted from a community college.

You act like Pujols was in high school, he was not.

Why don't you understand
Walks lead to bad things. If you walk someone, you have no chance of getting an out. It’s very simple.
basehits don’t lead to bad things though. those are fine. that was what i said. i didn’t say anything about making contact. i said walks are better than basehits and you guys read way too much into that statement.
Its about making them put it in play you idiot...
Out happen a high percentage of the time.
its a stupid statement
If you don’t even give your fielders a chance, what is the point. Not every ball put in play goes for a hit.
READ READ READ READ
RaysTheRoof clearly said BASEHIT. That means putting the ball in play and getting at least to first base with no error and no fielders choice. You DO NOT get an out on a base hit. You can preach all you want about giving your fielders a chance, but that is totally IRRELEVANT to the point. By mere definition a basehit means your fielders had no chance.
There's no guarantee that there would've been two hits.

That's not the point...
Walks are soooo bad because they dont give you a chance to record an out. Throwing strikes does….
What is the point of all these comments? Clearly you are all debating different things. He was talking basehits v walks and you were talking base in play v walks. They are totally different. To compare the two is a joke in itself. Giving up a basehit doesn’t give you a chance to record an out. Obviously I’d rather have a guy that never walks someone than a pitcher that walks people. Of course pitchers should make guys put the ball in play. But to say walks are base hits is false.
Simply put
ball in play > walks
walks > base hit
you don't know it is going to be a base hit
unless they actually have to hit the ball
are two walks better than two basehits? yes or no? just answer that question. don’t start trying to think it is asking more than it is. THAT WAS MY COMMENT. WHY CANT YOU GUYS READ?
Amen. Their response has nothing to do with what you posted. A base hit is obviously worse than a walk because it can move runners an extra base plus it puts pressure on the defense.
Either way
there would be a runner in scoring position. And you can’t assume that the runner would be able to take the extra base. And walks generally = more pitches which leads to a shorter outing. So yes, walks suck.
We're just saving our reading powers for later.

So? There no guarantee that they wouldn’t have gone yard either. Theres no guarantee that they wouldn’t have hit the ball to center and caused BJ to blow his achilles out.
You fail to understand the point...
When you force a batter to swing, there is about a 70% chance you get an out if the ball is put in play. When you walk a batter, there is a 0% chance you record an out.
THIS.

And you fail to understand the point that by mere definition a base hit means that there was no out recorded. You are contradicting yourself at every point. At one hand you are saying a base hit and a ball in play is the exact same yet then you say there is a 70 percent chance of an out on a ball in play. That is not possible. You can’t say that a ball in play results in a man at least on first base 100 percent of the time while also saying it results in an out 70 percent of the time. Do you understand that?
no, they don't
its a waste of time to argue with people who think they know everything
I'm done arguing with you.

Base hit =/= ball in play
That’s our entire fucking point. You can’t say “Better than a base hit” because you don’t fucking know if it’s going to be a hit. A ball in play does NOT equal a hit. That’s where this whole argument goes to hell and that’s our problem with the initial comment.

RJ
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A BASE HIT. A BASE HIT. A BASE HIT. HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT. Do you understand? A BASE HIT. BATTER HITS BALL AND RUNS TO FIRST BASE WITHOUT GETTING AN OUT. That is what a hit is. Do you comprehend?
Look you are saying that we don’t know if a ball in play would result in a hit. Well you don’t know that pitches thrown will result in a walk. Your argument has absolutely no validity. You can’t on one hand look at the past (issued a walk) and then look into the future (the ball in play MIGHT result in a hit). You need the same frame of reference. We are saying given the two results a base hit or a walk a walk is favored. The debate isn’t a walk or maybe a base hit. Or he might get a base hit. It is a base hit. If you want to talk about “maybe” getting a base hit then we should add in the “maybe” of getting a walk.
Well you don’t know that pitches thrown will result in a walk.
He was talking about the two walks he had just given up…

And he was saying that they were better than giving up a base hit. Which they were. You need the same frame of reference. He clearly said “base hit” not ball in play. You can’t change the definition of a base hit no matter how hard you try. Obviously I’d rather the batter put the ball in play than take a walk. But a hit implies he hit the ball and made it to first base.
I’m sure you know what a hit is. So why are you trying to change the meaning?

DFA Jackson. Niemman, Talbot, Hammel, I don’t give a fuck. Get him out of here.
Why is that stupidity
he hasn’t done shit since the first month of the season. Get him the fuck out of here.
lets dfa a guy we could get some prospects for. brilliant.
esp when we don’t have any better options
anyone who would give up prospects for him
needs to be fired. He doesn’t have the demeanor to be a major league starter.
disagree
he’s 24 years old and has major league caliber stuff and has only started in the MLs for 1 full year. you need to have patience. lots of gms would be willing to give up something to get him.
Minaya, Bavasi, Sabean...

no reason to think any of those guys would do better than jackson
well they can’t be much worse
DFA isn't the way to go.
Just deal him to the Mariners for Clement and RRS.

Edwin's ERA is now 4.46
Regression to the mean is raping the crap out of him.

Yes. Also the fact how you bash ERA when it doesn’t suit your argument then you throw it in there when it does. Thats all. Yes Beckett is obviously better than Jackson. Although Beckett is highly overrated. He is not an ace. A few games in the postseason is too small of a sample size to trump his regular season stats.
I'm not using that as my argument.
His FIP has been higher than Sonny, his periphs are awful, and he’s been lucky.

Either way you only have to put up with Jackson for a couple more months and I only have to put up with Sonny for a couple more months.
Well I have no idea if its a trade. But we have quite a few talented minor leaguers…There is no chance Sonny or Jackson can hold off McGee, Davis or Price. Then we have the other guys with more potential than Sonny and a better make up than Jackson.
Just say better than.
“Make up” is not what’s wrong with Edwin.

There is almost zero chance...
McGee starts next season in the Bigs. Davis would be a long shot in my mind to start the season in St Pete.
Bartlett must hate the Marlins.

We are still in this game.
Need a couple this inning, but we still have a shot.
Nolasco is not this good.

I’m pissed off, because it seems like all the supposed sports-oriented places in my area have corporate DirecTV accounts out-of-state with no baseball package, meaning the game’s blacked out everywhere.
Damn it, come back on this. It’s broom time. One bad inning and a sojourn into the bullpen is all we need.

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.
Watching the Marlins broadcast has made this experience much, much worse.

Ah dammit, it's Sonny/Zambrano, not Kaz/Z. Thanks Collette.

Kazmir
with the 2 days off since his start, can’t they choose when they pitch him? if its Sonny/Dempster and Kazmir/Zambrano we have a realistic shot at both games. but with Sonny vs Zambrano we might as well count the L
ok
why is Nolasco going to start an inning with 111 pitches already?
Whatever, he will probably strike out the side.
moral victory
Made Nolasco look like Johan Santana but at least we didn’t let him get that a CG.
now Wade Davis to AAA, Price and Hellickson to AA plz. I hate that the phenoms seem so far away.
Valid point
And I don’t think McGee should go to AAA, nor do I think we should see Hellickson should see AAA this season. However, I think Davis and Price would probably be just as realiable as Sonny and Jackson anyway.
ok, we won the series, lets take care of the cubs.
