    I was about to post the exact same thing. It feels good - lets do some more!

    Or two of the best four or five. After a long season, the 6th and 10th best teams to compete in a winner-takes-all final is crazy. They need to trim back the playoffs. This would also increase interest in the playoffs? I love the baseball season but it shouldn't finish in November! Most casuals lose interest I suggest?

    Probably not this year - but maybe next year....

    Not yet!

    Yep. We don't get so many opportunities to watch live over here, so must be done. Having said that, I suspect my finger will remain lightly on the 'off' button, ready to quit.....

    mlb.tv for free over here (using superfan nephew's account!) Any night game I am usually asleep though. Sounds like I wont be able to watch Sundays day game which is a bummer!

    And Rendon is heading to the IL again.

    I wondered to myself, "so what were we all talking about exactly a year ago"? Oh, the same shit.....

    Well that lead didn't last long

    I wasn’t being argumentative, just trying to get my head round it. Just saying stats can say whatever we want, I suppose

    But that was kind of my point, if the WAR stats are irrelevant then...they're irrelevant?

    Thanks. So at the simplest, crudest level someone on +1.0 is a better player or has more value than someone on -0.1. Therefore, the suggestion - for example - the Angels should have brought up Fletch instead of Stefanic is wrong. But I suppose that's where stats can be subjective

    Interesting read, particularly WAR v Salary. I'm not very au fait with these advanced stats. Wins against Replacement Player. Is that Wins against a league average replacement or against some random minimum wage scrub found on the street?

    Oh my favourite topic back here in old England. Sadly I haven't been over the sea for nearly 17 years now, but as of October 2006: I had watched a game in 13 parks (some of which have now gone) and - walked outside, looked at, touched, when no game taking place - 9 others. First was Anaheim of course. Most irritating - but an amusing ish story (in the 9 list) was Oakland.

    That’s a weird thing T.G. I would spell it aging but the corrective text thingy changed it to ageing so I thought maybe that’s the American way? Anyway, I was only being facetious re Albert as I think people realised
  19. steveuk
    Sounds ok. Do the Angels have any history in taking aging first basemen from St Louis?

    Depends if you want his flip flops back on I guess

    People will criticise Arte if he doesn't get Ohtani signed up at 50m a year and yet, if the other pieces on the team are mediocre, it's going to stay that way if he commits over a third of payroll on just two players.

    3.65 era in 22.2 innings...

    Standard answer on here is 'sample size', but I like this kid. He just looks like he belongs already.
  24. steveuk
    Any word on why no Ren and Ren?

    Tellez had given him a tip on the best local buffet
