How about the ("cherry picking" stat aka SLG%,? lmao ) Yanks SLG% W/risp and runners on base is NOT for the whole year? No offense, but...because you choose to play it this way, I must say....if I had you and rick sitting at a table "discussing" these issues face to face with similar alotted time and a moderator....I would chew you both up for lunch....want to know why...simple...because BOTH of you choose to pick "fights" with me based on strawman issues. I don't know what the fuk both of your problems are...but I suspect you both feel insecure and feel as if your self induced titles of being king of the BOARD is questioned a bit too much. You fellas seem to prefer "YES MEN" who nod favorably with everything you say. Sorry....I'm an independent thinker who is ready to explain and defend my opinions which may not agree with this bullsh!t little kangaroo court which YOU believe is your little kingdom. As we used to say in the big city...."get straight"!
That's your opinion....and you're entitled to it. But don't believe for a moment, it has more merit or truth than mine just because YOU said it. lol
...you're " an independent thinker..." ...rick and I "choose to pick fights" with you. ...rick and I "both feel insecure and feel as if our self induced titles of being king of the BOARD is questioned too much" ...you "would chew us both up for lunch" LMAO...^^^ that has to be the most maniacal bunch of BS I've ever read on this board.
Why couldn't I have just been born wealthy instead of being so popular. Oh well, I guess we all have our crosses to bare.
Stop backtracking......anyone with clear vision and an open mind can see - if I were to say the sea is wet....you would say it's dry. LMAO...quite okay. I can handle it......kinda entertaining especially when the alarm goes off and you try and attack or belittle a cogent relevant point (post) I make. The latest folly you attempted regarding one of my posts..... I pointed out the OBVIOUS most pronounced "stat" which sheds light on the Yankees being one of the best run scoring teams in the league--▶ SLG% w//risp, runners on base. They have a mediocre (at best) BA w/risp but have the 2nd best SLG% in the league w/risp,runners on base- they have, so far produced alot of extra base hits in those situations. Of course we would like to see the BA w/risp much higher but the SLG% stat has been carrying them. What did I hear in return? I was "CHERRY PICKING"....lol..cherry picking! Pointing out a superior team SLG% (W/runners on base) wasn't considered a legitimate, solid basic (reason) stat for the Yanks' being a good scoring team throughout the season....so far. For example- I guess the difference between Wade Boggs and Hank Aaron is NOT SLG%..... nah.....that's "cherry picking"....After all, they both got over 3000 hits.....lol Not much difference between Lou Brock and Willis Mays, both fast runners with 3000 hits........oops.....I forgot about SLG%....lmao Ringmaster - send in the clowns.
Broom Gilda, bring me my little tricycle and floppy shoes. Seriously, just for clarification purposes, - regarding your reply: how many times does it have to be pointed out that they have a good slugging % BECAUSE OF THE high anomalous number of HRs with RISP ? (post #17)...which where this started...Jesus, pay attention for a change. Isn't this the very point of me (or anyone else) pointing out their superior SLG% w/runners on base? I mean, the stat would not have any meaning if they hit alot of extra-basehits with NO runners on base...correct? Yes/No? The stat is listed as "SLG% w/runners on base, w/risp". This is what gives it significance. Yanks have done very well in those situations. It's not listed as "SLG% with no runners on base". Of course they hit alot of homers and doubles w/runners on base, I understand, ...that is what the stat is all about. In your own words: ( "BECAUSE OF THE high anomalous number of HRs with RISP" ) If the Yanks had a poor SLG% w/risp, runners on, they may already be very close to last place. Lol
Allow me to expand then....When the Yankees score 5 runs or less they're still not all that hot at 23-33. Is that better?
Not exactly sure what your point is....but I'm willing to listen. We all know the Yanks SP hasn't been stellar and the strength of the pitching staff has been the bullpen - specifically the late innings. But to expand a bit further- the team with the best record in the league-- KC, they have won 8 games when scoring 3 or less runs, the Yanks have won 5 games scoring 3 or less runs. Where are we going with this? Let's not pick too many cherries. Where are you getting your "stats"? Fill me in.
I'm responding to what your question, wondering what the average W & L record was for all teams when scoring 3 or less runs. So I expanded on it to show that when scoring as many as 5 or less that they still have a poor record. Bottom line is that with the bad pitching on this team they have to score 5 or MORE runs to have any kind of success.
Rick, perhaps you missed something.....I asked, what is the record (collective win%) FOR ALL TEAMS when scoring 3 or less runs....and you may or may not include the top 2-4 teams in SP ERA, ..Cards, TB, Oak, Pitt.....just what is the collective EXACT WIN% of ALL teams when scoring 3 or less runs....? As Shakespeare said...sort of.....thou protest too much over sh!t which is not much different than the large majority.......well, sort of....get my drift? Lol Yes, I agree the Yankee SP has to improve. The "race" isn't yet half over. Fair enough?
...it's official, you're a total fucking idiot who cannot grasp the simplest of conversations and concepts and cannot keep things in their proper chronological context.
First off, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for calling me "a total fucking idiot".... Now, .. are we on the same page with this SLG% and BA w/risp thing? My point, my stat, (SLG% w/runners on base) is a separate stat and different than BA w/risp. You were including HRs in the "BA w/risp" stat. That's okay...but I mentioned and pointed to a specific stat-- SLG% w/runners on base.....Yanks currently 2nd in the league in that category, barely ahead of Baltimore. And I don't want to even think about where the Yanks would be if they were a poor or mediocre "slugging" team w/runners on base. I think you missed the boat on this one. It's okay, it happens to the best of us.
