He’s so good! And average! And cheap!

One of these days I'll convince my friends that this is true.

I know the feeling.
Batting average is “the most important statistic”.

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 :(

The only thing saving Gomes ....
from the worst bat on the field today is Tony Pena Jr’s presence

5Ks
we have our top of the lineup… up… Go Rays Go!

No, its been slow enough that we think its been worse.
But 7 IP 2ER is not bad.

5 K 1 BB a few more hits than he's been giving up.
Not awful.

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.

we got Ske on!
Go Rays!

I love Pena
And I’ll love him more if he can put his pride away and learn to move a runner or hit a sac fly once in awhile.

You defend Carl Crawford, but tell Carlos Pena, of all players, to put his pride away,
And to aim his balls better?

I wouldn’t say I defend CC. I just think he is playing better lately. He sucked at the start of the year.

this dude 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.

In his defense...
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?

Gotta pinch hit for Gomes, and I doubt Maddon pinch hits B.J.

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