  1. Wow, that is one strong lineup. I am sufficiently scared.
  2. DKM4Boston beat me, but here's a pretty table: Date IP H R BB K&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp ------------------------- 6/15 7 1 0 4 10 6/8 7 2 1 2 10 6/2 6.2 2 1 2 9 total: 20.2 5 2 8 29 Yikes.
  3. See discussion in the Rounds 1-5 thread.
  4. followed by the defense of its use by another moderator. All I said was that if someone was using it as a synonym for head case or "psychological struggles" or whatever, and no malice was intended, it's very different than intentionally implying that some minor leaguer has severe mental problems. I don't think anyone here is quite that insensitive. I can see how it could be offensive, especially if one had personal experience somehow, and I'm fine with advising people to look for a better choice of words.
  5. He's only thrown 79 pitches, and we're only at #5 in the order. If no one gets on I bet he's back out.
  6. Leadoff walks suck... Carlos was just getting bored, that's all.
  7. If people feel like they're a persecuted minority (I swear we had this conversation already this year), let's pursue it in the Issues forum and not drag out this Link Report thread any further.
  8. Guys, let's just let relevant parties take this to ezInbox discussion and get back to team/player discussion, if we can. So, uh, how about that Yo Gallardo guy? He seems pretty good.
  9. Referring to them as the "Evil Brewers" is a bit of hyperbole, which is a common method used in writing to emphasise a point. It may emphasize the point, but it may not be fair to the opposing point of view, since whatever they said was not that extreme. It's easy for that to spin off into a misunderstanding (see above). At the same time, huntsvillefan, it seems like you expect Peavey to know which phrases are going to set you off, and get pretty offended when he says something that you don't like, or wouldn't use yourself. I have to agree that "talking out of both sides of your mouth" is pretty tame, not much different than "you're saying two different things." And while I can appreciate your feelings about "mental cases", it's not really fair to assume that everyone is going to feel the same way without some sort of personal experience to behind it. It seems like a more productive way to address this would be to explain how you interpret these phrases first and react second, rather than the other way around. And Peavey, instead of taking a "you're too sensitive it doesn't mean anything of the sort" stance, perhaps a "I'm sorry, it means something completely different to me and I didn't realize you would feel that way about it" response would help diffuse tension as well. Now let's all hug.
  10. I think we found the only one who uses "you know" more than Rickie Weeks. I dunno, Sveum didn't exactly sound like the most articulate guy in the world on the prregame today.
  11. My point remains the same the guys making decisions in the fornt office know more then guys reading these boards and regugitating page after page of Moneyball. geothite, just as telling you to "shove it hard" is frowned upon, so is insinuating that some people have put no original thought in their posts and are simply "regurgitating moneyball." It's fine if you happen to disagree with a particular philosophy, but there's no need to sneer about it. And please enable your ezInbox. It's required of all bf.net members.
  12. Man Bush is either awesome or horrible.
  13. Rickie with a laser bomb. I like it.
  14. I'm seriously wondering about the amount of time wasted on the "jinx" topic, and lots of it by the staff. I'm sorry, I didn't realize staff couldn't spend time how they wanted. I wonder about all the time you spend making snide, "look how smart I am" comments.
  15. ...their owners care about winning more than our owners do. We are a minor league team (at the owner's discretion) catering to the big boys in the MLB because we pay peanuts compared to what the other teams pay, generally. .500 or bust is our motto Stop living in the past.
  16. So Ned's rollin' the catcher dice tonight. What if something happens to Bad Chad? Gah! I'm SO glad Ned didn't bother trying that when we were down ONE run the other night.
  17. I almost feel sorry for teams that have to face Mark Rogers (the good version) and Yo on back to back days. That's rough.
