I've only gone to roughly 20 or so games in my life but my most memorable was The Big Hurt's return with Oakland. 2 HR game that ended with a Pablo Ozuna walk off bunt single to score AJ with 2 outs. That game was the turning point in Frank's season too. .178/.300/.378 slash before it, a .302/.408/.603 slash after. The rest of that season Frank looked like mid '90s Frank all over again at age 38.

His WHIP? Really? That is not an advanced stat.

Just for clarification, Frick Award winners are not actually inducted into the hall and are not technically considered HOFers. It is just an award given out by the HOF.

That is a pretty studly middle of the order there. If Robert and Madrigal end up being what we hope we are definitely going to score some runs.

See ya.

You can also still win a batting title if you don't reach the qualifying PA's. Your average, for leaderboard purposes, is just calculated as if you had enough hitless at bats to reach the qualifying mark. Tony Gwynn did so in '96.

That's really a worry of yours? Like you honestly believe there's a possibility of that happening?

Who would have guessed coming into the season that McCann would become our 4 hitter with a .900+ OPS and probably an All Star? Anybody raising their hand is a freaking liar.

In 2012 Peavy had a 3.37 ERA, 3.73 FIP, 3.99 xFIP across 219 IP. Accumulated 5.0 rWAR, 4.4 fWAR and made the All Star team. I don't think he really fits here.

This is such a minor risk that it should never preclude you from doing it if that is your best lineup. Worst case your pitcher may have to bat a time or two (so not really any worse than half our lineup).

Exactly. Never understood the hate for that guy. He made just 30 starts with the Sox and put up 4.8 fWAR, what the hell more do people want from the guy?

He has a .304/.385/.478 line over the last 7 games. No way you demote him now that he's started hitting.

I'll never understand why people care so much about this. If McCann gets hurt and Castillo has to come in the pitcher or pinch hitter has to bat the rest of the game. Not the end of the world.

Guess I'm not understanding all the b****ing. Guys need to pitch and if they didn't pitch today it would be a minimum of 4 days off for Herrera and 5 days off for Jones, and that's only if there get in the game Friday.

Why do we need Covey? Just let Rodon throw 200 pitches.
