Gameday Thread: 2008 All-Star Game

8:05 on FOX, y'all. Let's take this stupid, pointless day as a chance to talk a lot of B.S. about players that have no real bearing on our team. Rock and roll, hoochie koo.

wow, I looked it up, it's really that bad

you could still make an argument for Jhonny Peralta over Jeter, but it’s a stretch

by math_geek on Jul 15, 2008 6:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

How's that a stretch???

Leads him in OPS, OPS+, VORP, WARP. He’s been a significantly better hitter and dramatically better defensively.

Jeter has a better fist pump.

by BirdFanInPhilly on Jul 15, 2008 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

well, maybe not that much of a stretch

but a .300 OBP is really not very good, and OBP is more important than SLG even though we treat them as equals in practice. Jeter’s terrible defense is a factor I wasn’t measuring however.

by math_geek on Jul 15, 2008 7:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, OBP is more valuable

But it’s not that dramatically more valuable. It’s not making up for Peralta’s huge lead in SLG%. And then there is defense.

I don’t have a huge problem with Jeter going. He’s there for the same reason Cal was there year after year no matter what his stats were. But based on his production this year, he’s not really deserving.

Did you guys hear this?

My mom calls me, and asks if I’m watching the game. Which is odd, because the last time my Mom watched a BB game, Eddie Murray was still driving in runs for us the FIRST time. The following conversation ensues:

“Did you know this is the LAST All-Star-Game and it’s in Yankee Stadium?”

“I’m pretty sure they’re gonna have an All-Star Game next year, too, Mom”

“No they’re not. Not in Yankee Stadium. This is the last All-Star Game there.”

“Well, yeah, not in Yankee Stadium, Mom. I’m pretty sure I heard that somewhere.”

I mean, when the hype machine can even reach my 63 y.o. mom, MLB is doing something right. Or wrong. Depends on your perspective, I guess.

I think you have each starter pitch an inning or two. But if for some reason you had to bring a starter in in the middle of the inning, I don’t see why that would be a serious problem; nor do I think any pitcher that isn’t a complete headcase would have that big of an issue.

And since no one really knew what the fuck was going on and probably 50% of the fans were worried he was hurt, he didn’t get a giant ovation.

Wasn't a save oppurtunity ( no lead)

So it can’t be a hold. Also, don’t think there is a such thing as a blown hold. It woud just technically be a blown save (although some don’t count it as a BS unless it’s teh 9th inning)

No, but he did put the guy on first

And then wasn’t able to hold him close enough to keep him from stealing. And then couldn’t get the strike out after the error.

Either way, he’s on the line for the loss.

yeah great

He gave up a single and I’ll allow for a stolen base. That pop up to left does not advance Tejada from second to third, let alone home. He does not score that run. The run is on Navarro. You are blind as a bat hatin’ for hatin’s sake.

Definitely a hater

But it’s not like Papelbon doesn’t have a role in that run. You can’t say he has no responsiblity because there was an error. Yeah, sure, if there was no error, there be no run. But if there was no single there’d be no run. If there was no SB there was no run.

Yes I understand, but Tejada does not score without Navarro’s single-handed error. Maybe you could place some blame on the guy that covered the base, and then after blaming those two, Papelbon.

Right, I agreed to that.

There isn’t just one guy who has responsibility for the run. But that doesn’t dismiss Papelbon. Obviously, I bring up Papelbon because he comes off as a dousche to me, and he plays for PHN. But I also brought him up because he played a key role in that run. Navarro did as well; but I don’t know him as an ahole, so…

Well if he'd struck out *3* or not allowed a long fly... Oh yeah, Paps lost it, all right. Navarro just helped

and so did the not-backing-up doofus in center.

The fly ball was not very long. Tejada doesn’t go from second to third on that ball. He goes home because that’s a much longer throw. This is really not rocket science at all. I mean, seriously. The run does not score if Navarro throws the ball somewhere other than center field.

Well, now...

There are PLENTY of places he could have thrown it where the damage would have been as severe…

Woulda been a tough loss? Sure. Tell us about it! But this is a case where the L in the box score would've been accurate.

You couldn’t be righter that this one isn’t rocket science. With Miggy on 3rd, you pitch differently: strike out—GOOD! Anything else—PROBABLY BAD. And the ONE THING you DON’T want to give up: FLY BALL!! Do we think Papelbon knew this? YES. Did we see him FAIL to act on this knowledge successfully? YES AGAIN.

Right now he’s thinking Thank you, Evan—I came up short when it counted and you saved my douchebag Red Sawx arse!

20-25 or 2 innings

Then outfield swap. I’m guessing there are no more bench players either.

Curt never met a buttered roll he didn't like.

No way

NO WAY a position player pitches. NO WAY.

Too bg a chance of blowing an elbow

Jose Canseco did that one year. Rangers lost him for weeks, iirc.

Recycle pitchers?

What’s the answer? Can’t end this in a draw.

I agree with you though. I don’t want my CF blowing his arm pitching for inning; just don’t know what they do if this doesn’t end soon.
