does the hatred of batting average come from it being the traditional standard?

or is it really useless as a stat? I don’t see how you can hit .350 and not be a great hitter?

But few if any guys aside from ichir do one without doing the other (and his other skills make him a star when he hits that well

You can't be

And if you’re a .350 hitter it means something. But Juan Pierre hitting .290 every year still sucks despite what appears to be a “good” average.

Anyone answer the HD question?

How can 1 game of a series be in HD and another not? Dont HD games mean they are using HD cameras? Do they rent them for the day? What gives? If ION and FSN own HD Cameras wouldn’t all games be in HD?

Since we are tired and Maddon loves using pitchers in only their roles, I don’t know if Wheeler is going to come in

He had retired like 17 of 18….then the 1st 2 guys got hits this inning….How is that too long? Get pulled after 1 hit with a low pitch count?

Something I've noticed about Sonny...

is that his hits always seem to get strung together. Does anyone know what his OPS against is when he pitches from the stretch is compared to his OPSa from the windup? I wonder if it shows anything.
