"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Mariano Rivera blew the 2001 World Series. He must be unable to perform in clutch situations too. Or maybe it's stupid to judge a player based on a single performance.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
good grief, stop comparing this guy to guys like mariano rivera. mariano rivera had been one of the most dominant pitchers in playoff history. this is not based on one performance. I must say that is one of the most idiotic comparisons ive ever seen.
you want some positive comments?
arroyo, harang, belisle, and lohse are pitching well.
hamilton looks great.
i have positive things to say, just not about a guy who is hurting their chances of remaining in first place.
Harang has only had one good start out of three, how can you say he is pitching good? Using your criteria, he must be a joke. After Belisle's shakey start tonight, I guess he should be run out of town also.
difference- HARANG HAS DONE IT BEFORE, and coffey hasn't.
coffey has consistently not pitched well in pressure situations not just this year, but last year as well. you guys will agree eventually, but for some reason you're in love with him right now.
And for some reason, you still feel like dragging this thread through the mud.
You've made your point already.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
i didn't get this thread going again. Todd Coffey did, it was dying away, and he choked again.
Wow. Just wow.
If this keeps going, we're going to morph into cincinnati.com in no time.

Could this thread be locked, this is going nowhere, mroby won't change his mind and neither will we, it's becoming pointless.
In those things which we commit to practice we can master, and with mastery we have the freedom to use these skills whenever we desire, without this practice we are slaves to our inability.
