    It's the grim faced double time march out to the mound to remove his starter immediately after the starter has coughed up yet another late lead that gets me to utter more than a few "golly gee gosh darn it anyway"s.

    1. Not the CEO, for sure. The "COO?" I don't know how else you describe him. 2. No, but I see plenty of signs of poor quality baseball, and illogical pitching moves.

    Jared Burton's mom hates you.

    That'll teach 'em. Way to get in their faces, Molly!

    Does your opinion that the manager of an organization is irrelevant extend past baseball? Or is it your opinion professional baseball is the only organizational leadership situation where organizational leadership doesn't have any effect on performance?

    Like last night?

    BUILD THAT (NORTHERN) WALL!!

    Seems like if we were going to cheat it should be the other way around. "Here's our lineup: 1. Rosario 2. Escobar We'll pinch run if the situation arises.

    Incorrect, sir. Joe Smith Jr not Joe Jr Smith I do names for a living these days. You can leave it off if you wish, or add one that's not on your birth certificate if you wish... but if you want one on your passport, it's goin' on the same line as your last name unless your birth certificate specifically states differently, and very few do.

    But doesn't mean that OBP is twice as valuable as SLG.

    Or on the struggles of individual players, or solely the W/L record. I don't blame Tom Kelly for having losing seasons when given rosters that couldn't hope to compete. But even those teams played good baseball for the most part. They just weren't talented enough to win. The Twins under Molitor don't play good/smart/fundamental baseball with regularity.

    Concur with paragraph two, although even in isolation, a walk isn't as good as a hit.

    All three could, and would, pull the ball regularly. None of them were exclusively opposite field hitters. The post I responded to recommended Buxton be "an opposite field hitter." He should "look for pitches he can hit the other way." I hope that never happens.

    We'll have to agree to disagree. "Not making an out" isn't the most important thing a hitter can do, and here's why I believe that: Two hitters, one goes 0-0 with four walks for his team, the other 1-4 with a HR. Which hitter guaranteed his team a run?

    https://www.fangraphs.com/community/when-slugging-percentage-beats-on-base-percentage/ Are you sure?
  16. USAFChief
    Nobody should be an opposite field hitter. Pulling the ball is how you hit for power, and hitters should always look to hit with power. There is nothing wrong with pulling the ball. You just can't be married to it. Once the pitcher has control of the count, you have to be willing to hit the other way. But that should never be the goal. The shifts we see today were invented to counter Ted Williams, an extreme pull hitter. He was pretty good as I recall.

    winner.

    WINNAH!!

    You watched TWO episodes of "Queer Eye?" Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Just feel the need to share this with friends: Mrs Chief and I have been having problems lately, so she suggested we do a workshop. I work. She shops.
