TLR's hiring as manager ushered in a golden era for trolling White Sox forums. It's simply too easy to get reactions and responses from people when defending him.

This one is on TLR if Marshall blows it

Glad Yermin is done for the game...

Just fucking awful. Perfect pitch to hit. Jesus Christ.

Hahaha!

Jesus, I didn't realize Chapman added a splitter and is better than ever

Wow!!! That's fucking deflating for the Yankees. Let's crank one of Chapman.

Where did you buy that TV stand from? I dig it.

Bench him ASAP

Joe crede special!!

This dude can't throw a strike. Don't swing

No. No! NOOOOO!!!! I HATE TIM ANDERSON NOW!!

Especially against a lefty

My gym is no longer requiring masks if you are vaccinated (but they don't check). Damn, it feels amazing to work out without a mask again.

Do you have any statistic for this? I'd be interested in reading it to see how we compare to other countries. Is it common in Europe and South America?

Why would you want the quality of a team to influence a statistic meant to evaluate a single player, though? That's why win-loss record for pitchers is irrelevant now a days. It's too heavily dependent on how the offense and bullpen did. It's not good for evaluating a player. If the White Sox win 90+ without Eloy and Robert, it means the team was really fricken good. It means they'd be even more dominant with those guys. WAR is wins above replacement. It calculates how much better a given player is than a replacement level player in that season. Team success has little to no influence on it.

WAR does not take into account the team around a player. It attempts to evaluate players individually.

Tim has been pretty vocal with his defense of Yermin. I hope he starts REALLY pimping his home runs from here on out, just to trigger TLR. Something tells me we will see a good bat flip from him soon.

Strike first, strike hard, no mercy

I've said this before, but it will be interesting to see how the lack of rookie ball impacts future high school picks. Unless the player is a complete stud, they will probably struggle big time with the jump to A ball.

Spurious data

Thank you for posting the first link!!! It pains me when that isn't posted on these threads.

I thought the exact same thing. Long live Felipe!

He kind of looks like George Costanza in his BBref picture

Lol that's pretty funny, but I agree with your sentiment
