  1. He averaged 95 to 96 during his Sox stint
  2. Yes, if you delete things I said, you can change the meaning of the post. Congratulations on trying to pass that off as intellectually honest. It's also a classic SSS, which is why I added a full year sample to demonstrate better that there is a difference between "relievers" and "closers". Your statistic is wrong. A closer with a 60% save rate is not Average. They are among the worst in baseball. Even if you want to drop the threshold to 2 saves to capture more noise, the fact there are only 4 total, means there are 26 others who are above that mark. 4 of of 30 is 13.333th percentile. In no world is that "average". That is below far below 50th percentile. Your big flex literally reinforced my point. Thanks for the assist.
  3. Can you read? Because nothing you said contradicted what I said. I even went back to the last full season of 2025 to further clarify the point. You are erroneously associating "relievers" with closers. Why is this an important distinction? Because only closers get a chance to actually save games, versus a non-closer who can blow saves, but gets very few actual saves.
  4. The White Sox are dead last in MLB in total revenue. They trail the #29 team by about 20 percent. What doesn't make sense is to keep doing the same things they did to make them dead last.
  5. AI is only as good as the prompt you give it. Judging by the answer you got, I am guessing how accurate the prompt was. Proof? Last year you have to go down to 30th in saves in MLB to find someone with a 60%, or worse, save percentage. Coincidentally, it was Leasure at 58.3%. I rest my case.
  6. For "relievers". That's not closers. There are 20 player's with 3, or more, saves in MLB currently. Of them none have an equal, or worse, save rate than Anthony. He is dead last.
  7. A thread about Peak Wood? They make a pill for that now. Call your doctor.
  8. If he can figure out how to make more contact, he will be hige
  9. Add that to "It's not that bad"
  10. There are so many quality pieces of Sox and Chicago history that could be chosen and incorporated into Sox Park that with some creativity you could build a gem. Plus if they can build an OF angle open to the skyline and build the entrance at the top of the 100 level, you fix a lot of the new Parks screw ups.
  11. f*** no. See you at your funeral.
  12. It was a great show. An all timer.
  13. I don't know what got into Davis, but hopefully it is contagious
  14. Dutch is #1 until proven otherwise
  15. Well, knowing Jerry it's probably not a GOOD salary.
  16. Or will he hold on until his value is gone? Stay tuned
  17. He at least draws crowds...
  18. Somewhat? That would be a HOF line
  19. Does this qualify as North Bridgeport? Asking for a... ummmm... just asking.
  20. No way. This team is not two players away from winning. And honestly, the Bulls don't have enough to trade for a Giannis, as they would need salaries to fit as well.
  21. The San Diego Padres are about to be sold for double that price ($3.9 billion) the person Jerry hurt most with his negligence is actually himself, as this franchise could be valued there.
