  1. So much for a laugher. Sitting on that curve.
  2. Dig the music at whatever Oakland is calling their stadium this week: Boz Scaggs, "Lido Shuffle"
  3. I'd say he lost the shutout on the leadoff triple, but YMMV.
  4. Think of it this way: What do you get if you cross a polar bear with SSOO?
  5. Did you see Rocco pregame? "We already have LH hitting OFers." Hahahaha
  6. The little box on your TV screen is nowhere close to representing the top of the strike zone for most hitters. For Buxton it was literally just below his belt buckle.
  7. I guess I didn't even know a person COULD look that up.
  8. Somewhere between now and the end of the game.
  9. Rocco, pregame, responding to a question about when we might see Wallner: "Wallner? We already have LH hitting outfielders." Hahahahahahahaha.
  10. No sir. Not the answer the judges were looking for.
  11. Today's pop quiz: What do you get when you cross a polar bear with a seal?
  12. OPS also assumes all OBP is created equally, which isn't true. Getting on base via a hit is much more valuable than via a walk. Even a single helps create more runs than a walk.
  13. Gallo is a hitter for which OPS is incredibly misleading. He fails to put the ball in play so often he more than cancels out the few HRs he hits. He has 16 HRs...and 30 RBI. Thirty. 3 sac flies IN HIS CAREER. SLG is only valuable in that it contributes to scoring runs. When you don't drive in runs, theoretical mumbo jumbo is just that...mumbo jumbo. It doesn't demonstrate some greater understanding of baseball. In fact, just the opposite. Gallo is not a good offensive player. He's awful. Much worse than a cursory glance at OPS indicates. His 16 HRs do not represent a positive for this offense.
  14. Well, for one thing, someone somewhere decided HRs aren't balls in play. A Theoretical hitter hits 100 HRs in a row followed by a soft tapper back to the pitcher has a BABIP of .000.
