Anyone want to share tips on having that discussion?

Me: Why are hits important?
Them: You get on base and move baserunners.

Me: Ok, so don’t you want to know all the ways players get on base and how far they move baserunners?
Them: Yes.

Me: Ok, try OBP and SLG.
Them: But what about clutch OBP and SLG?

(Or at least that’s how I hope it goes.)

Not mine

But hilarious:

Guy 1: “What does OPS stand for?”
Guy 2: “I’m not sure, I think outs per swing.”
Guy 1: “Yeah, that makes sense, I guess.”

Here's my discussion with a Giants fan.

Me: Good God batting average is an awful statistic
Giants fan: How the hell are you supposed to gauge a hitter, then?
Me: OPS.
Giants fan: One of those Moneyball stats? Whatever. Billy Beane hasn’t won a world series.
Me: Neither has your team.

what sucks the most is

our 2 best scoring opportunities were killed by Crawford, Pena, Longoria…..supposed to be our 3 best hitters today :(

Meche is at 96 pitches

We should be able to chase him this inning if we can actually work some counts and hits some balls in play.

Garza hasn't been that bad

It has been the defensive alignment. Sonnova B. This is bad…. If I were there and paid to watch this I would be demanding money back. This is almost as bad as the Hit Show.

Garza has been on. I am wondering how consistent the Ump is at the plate not being able to see the game sucks.

why the fuck is brignac not getting more AB’s? why the fuck call him up to sit on the bench? obv he’s not ML ready, so the idea is to stick him on the bench for a couple weeks? ridiculous.

If you beleive the pitch tracker on Gameday, called strike three was well off the plate…

I think you try to read my mind too much. I said Gross stinks vs left handed pitchers. I’m all for him starting against righties in our current platoon. He should just never face a lefty. He is faster than Hinske so why not have him steal?

by matthan on Jul 7, 2008 2:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Fair enough

Priority 1 should be to tie the game, but I can see why you’d want to wait.

which I believe would tie him for 2nd in wins on our team. Only his bff Sonny would be ahead.

We still have a good shot

I don’t think they’ll be able to score on our pen. Plus we still have Gross to use, with Pena and CC also guaranteed an at bat. If one man gets on Evan Almighty will get a shot. All we need is 1 run.

they're playing this game..

like it is an intrasquad game.

Gomes never should have been allowed to hit. He’s hitting .191 and flailing at everything. That one at bat in Pitt earned him more time he really doesn’t need.

It's not that crazy

Not that I would make the trade, but Holliday’s pretty damn good and is signed for $13.5MM next year. He’s 1-2 wins better than Jason Bay (looking at OPS+ and fielding).

This is the proper move

Hinske gets on. Brignac runs for Hinske, Brignac steals second. Upton hits for Zobrist. He gets a bse knock. Upton steals second. Then someone knocks him in

Brignac goes to short
Upton to center
CC stays in left
Gross in right
