Yeah it's just as dumb as the "pts per 60" stat.

It's designed to make certain players look better than they really are.
- Pecafan Fan

pts/60 tries to isolate guy's performance from their playing time to see if they're being misused in the lineup. It needs to be taken in context, like any stat, but it has it's value.

ESSv%... I don't know. I guess the rationale would be that a bad defensive team would suck hard on the PK and that'd cause an otherwise good goalie's sv% to drop? This one does make less sense, IMO.

I don't think so - he was pegged as a long relief spot starter, which I thought was fine because it was in return Lind. In this case, it's in return for a 26 year old long reliever/possible 5th starter who can touch 97, had a solid season, and is under cheap control for 3-4 more years.

Well yes..that part is strange.
I was more talking about how they could help the Jays.

Can't change his routine til he has a bad game. She knows the deal.
- Bigzby

sick sick man

lately he's more likely to play 50 than 150 i'd say and to pull a Fox with the turf especially that's true.

avg is 98 games over the last 4 years

Toronto Blue Jays may play on new dirt infield

hope so or is this going thru now for sure?

Gibbons lost faith in Hendricks for some reason.
- BingoLady

He relieved Richardey in the second of ALCS game 4 and through 4 strong scoreless innings to keep them within striking distance until Hawkins happened. How could Gibbons have lost faith if that's the last he saw of him?

I don't like having 3 starters in the rotation that throw under 90mph
- Sammich

.......Richardey, chavez and........

Ya but just because I get lucky 4 nights out of 7 doesn't mean that I won't consider it lucky to get lucky tonight.


**also, this is purely hypothetical. I am 'married' with children so I don't really get lucky.
- The Law

just harry palms eh!

Yes - could see Bautista traded..
- BingoLady

That would suck. I could see him or EE getting moved though.

.......Richardey, chavez and........
- mykokes

trade him NOW!

That would suck. I could see him or EE getting moved though.
- daeth

Yep - think one will go cause of contract status.

oh yeah? i haven't been following the news i guess. i wish they could use real grass.

There's the argument that having a knuckleballer in your rotation helps the guy who pitches next: it throws off the opposition team's batters' rhythm.
- Atomic Wedgie

there's some truth to that
it's just a personal preference thing with me
hated seeing estrada throw that high fastball in the high 80's, even when works

guys, I'm no baseball fan...


But didn't Price suck in the playoffs?


Isnt there a guy available who might not be as good in the regular season, but actually can play in the postseason?

Last 2 games of playoffs he pitched well.

estrada can touch 90 but he still throws a bunch in the high 80's

He was bad but if I were to bet I'd say he'll be fine in the playoffs in the future. You don't dominate like he does for 200 innings every season and then forget how to pitch in the playoffs.

So did his cheaper opposition.

The fact they're better than half the league is scary.
- Bigzby

12/13 to today, even strength save %

Bernier 926% (12th)
Reimer 924% (15th)

Some perspective ...

Price, Lundquist and Rask 934% (1st)
Rinne 925%
Quick 923%
Scrivens 912% (the worst)

So did his cheaper opposition.
- Bigzby

and their bullpen.



So keep pen intact or move Sanchez or Osuna to rotation. Sign a closer?

Oilers dominated the last 200 drafts and they forget how to hockey all the time.

Could be a problem in his head.

I would take my chances with him... in order for him to be questioned in the playoffs.. you need to get there..and he help you get there in a big way

- Bigzby

when have they drafted someone outside the first round that was worth a damn?

Looking at the stats this season, Prust should be used in a top 6 role.


I mean... come on.
