    Way to put pressure on this hack, offense.

    Nobody has "jerked around" Larnach. He's been given the advantages of a high draft pick and multiple MLB opportunities now. He's had injuries, but he's also failed to take advantage of those opportunities. That's on him

    More importantly, bring home a W, Kenta.

    Indeed. If by "mid-day form" you mean stretched out on my Ekornes with a frosty one.

    I wonder if Conger has kids. Hope so. That way the Twins could hire one as 1st base coach when Hank retires. You know...set up a Conger line.

    Bingo.

    Just not enough thrust to reach the exit velocity required to overcome the heavy gravitational pull of .500

    Not C4's best effort. Probably better than Balazovich though.

    Tying run in the hole!! edit: now on deck!!!

    If you look closely, because I'm clumsy, you'll see I added on to your original post. ;)

    *, a couple three legit relievers, and 3, 4, and 5 hole hitters for the lineup. FTFY
  13. USAFChief
    Balazovich is living up to my expectations.
  14. USAFChief
    You said "swept." I'll repeat my offer. 60-1 on any amount you want. How about my $6000 against your $`100?
  15. USAFChief
    I'll lay 60-1 they don't get swept. You name the amount.

    Man, this DayTwah offense is just relentless. //eyeroll

    I don't like WAR at all, but IMO fWAR for pitchers is particularly bad. Fangraphs uses what they think should have happened for a pitcher, rather than any measure of what actually did happen. They do this by using FIP. They only consider HRs, BBs, Ks, and HBPs. Theoretically a pitcher could give up a base hit on every ball in play, but if there were no HRs, BBs, or HBPs fWAR would love him. If he managed to accumulate enough innings, he could lead the league in fWAR by giving up 6 hits and 3 runs per inning with 3 Ks mixed in. bWAR for pitchers uses RA/9 as its base measurement. For position players the primary difference between the two is what they use to measure defense. IMO there are huge issues with both WARs. Here's a decent explanation of both. https://www.samford.edu/sports-analytics/fans/2023/Sabermetrics-101-Understanding-the-Calculation-of-WAR#:~:text=Fangraphs allocates 570 WAR for,game compared to Baseball-Reference.

    Someone = saviking?
  22. USAFChief
    Is that a dead animal on Anthony Lapanta's head?
  23. USAFChief
    Winder: quite unimpressive
  24. USAFChief
    Dismal. Can't just continually throw breaking ball after breaking ball.
