Re: August 2nd - August 8th MLB Discussion
I'm not going to let you get away with that straw man.
Here's what you said:
"Sorry fellas, Infante deserved an all-star spot. No way Atlanta would be leading the division without him."
Infante is an Atlanta Braves utility All-Star, but there's no way he should have made the All-Star team over...where do I even begin? I'm also pretty sure a 1.1 WAR utility player isn't the difference between leading the division and trailing the Phillies.I write things on the Internet.

Hey, tonight Keith Hernandez was touting his "clutch" abilities stating that he leads the majors in RISP avg. since 2006. Of course, that is 250+ plate appearances, or around 50 PA per season. Sample size...sample size..sample size."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

Way, way too much objective analysis and not enough "He's a ****ing gamer" logic.

Re: August 2nd - August 8th MLB Discussion
Olson, all I ever see you do is argue and continually post Sabermeteric "evidence". I still don't know what team you even like. Regardless, the term "all-star" in the baseball realm has become diluted as there were nearly 80 players deemed such.
I'm not having a homer moment, however with the extensive injuries and shortcomings (Prado's injuries, Escobar's discontentment and lack of performance, Chipper's age, etc.) Atlanta has faced, Infante has performed admirably.
But go ahead, continue to show me sabermetric stats. As always in most cases, there's more to it than meets than eye and there's a far greater story than what the numbers/box score shows.Last edited by Speedy; 08-03-2010, 12:24 AM.Originally posted by Gibson88Comment

Which is the entire point of message boards.
I also did not know I was required to publicly state my favorite team (which is the Dodgers BTW). Concise analysis of my favorite team can be found here.

I criticized you more from a common-sense perspective than from a "sabermetric stat" perspective. Even your fellow Braves fan found your statement to be quite ridiculous.
Good display of poormeism though. Sarcasm is not for the weak-of-heart.Last edited by Chip Douglass; 08-03-2010, 12:41 AM.I write things on the Internet.

Which is one million times better than relying on a bunch subjective, unsupportable hyperbole as "evidence."
Irrelevant.I still don't know what team you even like.
Red herring. This is a different matter entirely, one that doesn't excuse in any way selecting an inferior player for a game designed to showcase the game's elite.Regardless, the term "all-star" in the baseball realm has become diluted as there were nearly 80 players deemed such.
Strawman. He never argued otherwise.I'm not having a homer moment, however with the extensive injuries and shortcomings (Prado's injuries, Escobar's discontentment and lack of performance, Chipper's age, etc.) Atlanta has faced, Infante has performed admirably.
Some of that unsupported hyperbole.But go ahead, continue to show me sabermetric stats. As always in most cases, there's more to it than meets than eye and there's a far greater story than what the numbers/box score shows.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment
