Pap said it's stupid for Pweeg to be an all-star when he hasn't even been up a month.

i kind of agree with olney there.

that would mean no pitcher ever gets to be an allstar. hard to have a game.

he's comparing apples to potatoes.

Olney can't be serious with that

pap was the one who used it as an argument against puig being in the all start game

Pap said Pweeg had not been up a month yet and it was stupid, he made no mention of innings. Olney is talking complete and utter shit.

No he didn't

pap's point was he hasnt played enough, olneys point is pap also does not play that much.

He is comparing a starting OF to a RP, there in itself shows the ignorance of that comment....as Pac said if that's the case there wouldn't be any pitchers worth being all stars

Iron Man Mcginnity would be worthy. We could dig him up and he could pitch for both teams.

HOW MANY PITCHES HAS PUIG THROWN THIS SEASON?

Jesus Christ.

which part do you disagree with?

It's a stupid point. Pap isn't campaigning for himself to be an All-Star, so it's totally irrelevant.

OF aren't selected instead of RP. OF are selected instead of other OF.

Pap plays as often as his role demands, typically 50 to 70 high-leverage innings. It's his job description. Sometimes he's selected to the all star team, over other pitchers who pitch typically the same number of innings, in the same or similar situations.

Puig has played 27 of the Dodgers 82 games this year. His role, the role in which he is competing for an all star spot, generally demands 140 to 155 games in a year, 85 to 95%. He's played in 33% of his team's games. I believe there are 63 NL outfielders with more games played than him so far, in the role he's allegedly an all star.

In order to qualify for the batting title, I believe you need 3.1 AB per team game. You can still win without that, but to calculate, they add enough AB to qualify you, with no additional hits. Thus, Puig's AVG (a ridiculous .443) computes to .185 for batting title purposes. That gives you an idea of how little he's played.

calvin it's like the last six months was a mirage

thats all fine and i agree that he hasnt played in a lot of games. i read olneys tweet as "that was a silly statement by someone who also doesnt play in a lot of games regardless of role." also, it is the all star game. so who fucking cares?

I think it's Pap saying - hey fuck this hyped up kid, he hasn't earned it yet.
pap probably also doesn't think much of commies from cuba.

if Pweeg didn't act like a total ass on the field Pap doesn't make the comment, IMO.
