I haven't seen this mentioned before but the Home of "The Best Baseball Talk Online!" sponsors Ben Francisco's Baseball Reference page.

I have to admit that this week's edition of "stathead" on Phillies 24/7 was pretty good. The host does a good job of "translating" the sabre talk of B*** B*** to try to make it more accessible for the common folk. Although this week was dedicated to "ripping" RyHo, it was balanced by posturing that he has had some historically epic second halves. Although, personally, I would have further tempered the observations with advice that we shouldn't hate on Piece because of said negative observations.

At this point, there can't be many in the city who really hate Ruben.

Ryan Howard walked 5 times on July 30, 2006.





Has he walked 5 times this month yet?

I didn't exactly forget this, but when I remember that Jimmy Rollins hit 30 HR in 2007, it kind of blows my mind now. Jimmy F***ing Rollins. 30 HRs.

He was so awesome that year.

And then you look at his triples numbers, from 2007 to now: 20 -> 9 -> 5 -> 3 -> 1

The step he lost makes me sad :(

Kinda weird Jimmy wasn't an All-Star in 2007. Reyes was the starter for the NL, and there was only one other SS on the roster: J.J. Hardy.

He's having a fine year, no complaints about Jimmy. It's just when you look at the triples numbers, it tells you, in rather stark terms, what you know intellectually but isn't always as apparent on a night-in, night-out basis: he's getting older, and won't play forever.

:(

I :h: Jimmy.

You ain't right in the head if you can't complain about anything with Yimmy.

You must really enjoy all those first pitch pop-outs.
