Awesome torrent of idiocy on stats and the almighty power of elderly scouts (after an even-handed bit on BP/PECOTA from Vasgersian) by Reynolds, Casey, Larkin. Keywords: winners, character, straw hat, stogie, laptop, calculator, touch and feel.

they're showing the '86 Dave Henderson Boston-Angels game right now. (i'd forgotten Hendu tipped a Grich fly over the fence.)
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 25 May 2009 13:42 (fourteen years ago) link
That was interesting to watch again. Great catches by Rice and Downing in key situations. The Gary Pettis/Devon White/Ruppert Jones experience. And Rob Wilfong!

Not 100% sure if I heard HR correctly, but I believe he said Mauer hurts his case for MVP because HE IS A CATCHER, which means he cannot play every day, unlike Derek Jeter.
And I think I heard him say that Mauer played in 130 games (he played 138) while Jeter played every day (actually 153), for a 32 game difference (technically less than half of that, but whatever).
― Andy K, Friday, 6 November 2009 17:03 (fourteen years ago) link
HR said JM played in 110 games -- cherry picking that he had, in fact, played in 138 games (DH, etc).

― Your Favorite Saturday Night Thing (Dr Morbius), Friday, 6 November 2009 17:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Mauer was injured for the start of the season, and returned on May 1st. He missed 22 games because of injury. Besides the injury, he only missed two games. So what the fuck is harold on about.

During MLB Network's playoff preview, Plesac goes off on the postseason brilliance of Mariano Rivera -- like we're all in for a real treat, and you can BET ON IT -- as a highlight reel of his regular-season blown saves is played. One of the superlatives is synced up perfectly with Rivera sulking off the mound.
