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.

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.

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.

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.

Heck

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.

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.

1 in hits, BA and runs. Well, hits and batting average are pretty closely related, aren’t they? And Runs are a team stat. I don’t know if he’s the hottest hitter or not the last month, but I would make an absolute statement just based on that.
