De Aza batting second against a LHP? Are we determined to never have a man on base for Abreu?

QUOTE (SoxnGiants @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 07:42 AM) Not often you see 6 unearned runs on a pitchers line, especially in 1 inning. I think Casey possesses the worst 1.23 ERA in the history of baseball

Not sure about the sensitivity, but the obvious question to ask would be about his strikeout rate, and whether he thinks it's relatively low (could phrase this more delicately if need be) because he was working on something.

Hitting .420/.478/.548 over his last 13 games. .331/.394/.461 (59 for 178) since June 4th. On pace for 1 WAR, after 3 straight years above 2. Definitely worth tendering a contract to imo, could be either a nice platoon piece if we're contending, or a decent trade chip presuming he doesn't start out as bad/unlucky as he did this year.

Not a top 25 White Sox prospect according to mlb.com

3 for his last 25 (.120) with a walk and 7 strikeouts

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 10:56 AM) We get it, there really is no excuse to use offensive words/names, etc. Yet while we expend all this energy being outraged about "casual sexism," we're simultaneously committing far worse harms. The same guy in here reprimanding us all for thinking the use of the word "skirt" in this context is not a big deal is out there flexing his intellectual muscles in other threads in some dick-measuring contest and relishing the fact that he can make others feel inferior to his vastly superior intelligence. It's not a huge deal no, and I don't think many are outraged, but typically in cases like this the people saying there's absolutely no issue with comments like these are saying it as part of a wider view that amounts to "I should be able to say what I want and not get called out for it". Hence 9 minutes after I made a comment parodying someone who wanted to use the n-word because black people did, someone made that exact comment.

Yeah, people should have the right to go around calling people f*gs because sometimes gay people use that term. It's the same with rappers and the n-word. God damn PC police trying to ensure we can't belittle people different to us.

QUOTE (The Wiz @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 11:42 PM) So you are saying you've never said someone was a "p**sy" or "f*g" or told someone to drop their balls or get their panties out of a bunch, or said something was "gay?" If you haven't, I find that extremely hard to believe. I'm not saying that saying any of that stuff is right or wrong, but people have the right to say what they want and I'd say the vast majority of people who say these things do them out of jest/anger/ some sort of emotion and never mean to offend or have anything against any of the group's they may have offended with saying it. It is just something that has gone on with males for thousands of years. And I think you are definitely wrong, nothing is changing, the only thing is changing is the forums in which you can actually say what you feel and think are changing. Go to any school yard today and listen to the conversation of a group of boys and compare it to one of 30 years ago. Boys are still making fun of other boys, kids are still getting made fun of for doing things like a girl, etc. What also hurts your argument is that these groups that we are told are suppossed to be offended by making comments like this use those very terms in jest all the time. It's not uncommon for a girl to tell a man to stop wearing a skirt or get your panties out of a bunch. Or for homosexual people to call things gay, and so forth. If things were really changing, these groups wouldn't use those phrases and such anymore. Most of the time it is some white guy telling us that those people should be offended. You sound like a lovely person.

QUOTE (Tmar @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 08:05 AM) Except war isn't claiming it measures best player, it is supposed to measures a more exact figure of wins above replacement. So how could somebody be worth 13 wins more oh but also 17 wins more? They can't, and that should destroy any credibility the stat has as it is then contrived. Like I did with my TIP compared to FIP, I could make my own WAR formula and it would be no more and (more importantly) no less valid a stat than war What

Rondon went 4-5 with 3 errors. I always said the problem with him was the glove, he'll reach the majors on the bat alone.

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 07:43 PM) Who in the world is CJ Beatty and am I seeing this right, 25 and hasn't played a game since 2010 yet is starting in right for the Dash tonight? Anyone know the story? 4 years in indie ball (.299/.385/.521), signed the other day

3.0 IP, 2H, 2R, 1ER, 1BB, 5K is the final line for Montas

Yikes, Byron Buxton was stretchered into an ambulance after a collision some dude called the worst he'd ever seen. Didn't move for 10 minutes apparently.

Montas is pitching for the AZL WS: 2.0 IP, 1H, 1R, 0ER, 1BB, 4K

Chien-Ming Wang is so bad

OP updated

Rondon 3-3

Passed ball allows a run, then gets 2 strikeouts on 6 pitches, most of them swinging, before leaving the game with a man on third.

Walk and double to start the 4th for Rodon

Back-to-back looking strikeouts for Rodon on the slider in the 2nd, followed by a groundout on an 0-2 count. 3.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 5K

Rondon 2-2

Asking about nobody in particular but what's this site's policy on banning really awful s***ty posters?
