Lincecum is REALLY out now
Went to the hospital this morning with “flu-like symptoms.” Wan’t going to pitch anyway, now won’t even be at the stadium.

Derek Jeter has no business in the all-star game

yes he does
As Young’s backup. AL shortstop is REALLY thin.

The Cap’n is arguably the 2nd best SS in the AL this year. Who else ya got?

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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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.

This time it fucking COUNTS. I can’t wait for Brian McCann to hit a three-run homer off of George Sherrill, ultimately securing home field for the 82-win Arizona Diamondbacks in the World Series.

It makes more sense strategically
to take a bunch of closers with sub-2.00 ERAs since nobody’s pitching more than two innings anyway.

It’s over 4. And Papelbon is over 2. KRod is over 2.
These guys don’t do anything that most good starters could do. Too much value is placed on closers.

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.

So Vince R. parlayed being a fanboy with a mic into working for Vince M. Pretty sweet!
