Yeah was just talking about this last night. Unless you're looking at a three-year sample I think the most accurate depiction for what WAR is actually supposed to be is just by looking at b-r's oWAR which includes offense with positional and replacement level adjustments.

What a complete joke. How can anyone take this things seriously?

thats what happens when you play in the smallest LF in baseball. its a homerun or a flyball you can catch.

He was -27 the last two years in the same park. He now weighs 340 lbs. So, obviously, it makes sense that he's now an elite OF

you've said it yourself; he literally covers a lot of ground

Taking guesses for NL player of the monf for July

Don't google

Already saw it. Amazing

Wait... What!? Bonerface!? Have they tested him for a lethal concoction of PED's yet?

How the hell is the Yankees pitching as good as it is? They now have a +171 run differential - +171!!!!!! B-r says they should be as good as... well, the Phillies.

Pitching has been good.

Also, Granderson and Texiera have been out of this world good. Texiera is having his second best season ever. Granderson is having his best year ever, by far.

One of the three Giants fans that were beaten at Dodgers Stadium was beaten so bad he's in a medically induced coma.



Couldn't find an existing 'general' thread (appears search isn't working yet). If there's one, feel free to put this there and kill this thread.

lmfao

I think there is nothing I hate more than the Fox pitch-tracker strike zone.

Craig Counsell was 0 for his last 45 before getting a hit last night

Craig Counsell is still playing baseball.

My thoughts out to Juan Nicasio of the Rockies. Absolutely horrifying.

Stolen from a friend's Twinker:

The Marlins acquisition of Alfredo Amezaga is surprising because I don't think anyone knew he wasn't on the Marlins.
