Was it salas that there was a gif of him sneaking a booger?
ThePriceWasRight
can’t explain the twins 1b situation. old man Mauer who now basically provides nothing when he’s not hitting 300 and vargas are the only options. park played one season. most Korean guys struggle year 1.
makes no sense.

And now we’re told by the analytics crowd that BA doesn’t mean that much (like W and ERA). I wonder if we added a lowercase letter before it (fBA or wBA) and told them it was “park and league adjusted, whether they’d like it any better?

Yeah, I hate the new so called better analytics.

Same I’m so glad someone else said it. It’s just a way for people to throw stats out there and make them think they’re smarter.

You do realize that’s one of the problems with average, that it’s not park adjusted.

That’s not really the point… they’re used to help project statistics for players and evaluate if their current performance is indicative of their true talent. For example, one can’t just use batting average, since a .280 batting average means very different things between Albert Pujols and Billy Hamilton. Things like BABIP and FIP are all just efforts to try to make sense of what’s happening. They’re not complete models, but sometimes they can be very useful.

Analytic bashing is so cute.

The Pirates should get Park.
He can replace Jaso as the backup first baseman and he can be Kang’s designated driver.

Best comment I’ve ever read.

pmsl! And get a D.D at a bargain price! That was the best comment I have ever seen. Not even Bonds or A-Rod steroid jokes came close to that comment. Props to you. I now have water damage to my cell phone. I now learned to drink anything after I am done reading posts. Let’s go Bucs!
