Bad Baseball Statements

[MVPete]

Is that funny if you're a Braves fan?

It's funny for anyone who isn't mentally handicapped.

Nah those tweets aren't funny on their own, I think it's more just the fact that he is so obsessed with Gattis while also compulsively tweeting the same terrible jokes and comments to every national and local beat writer he can think of is the funny part.

Just wait until this guy gets his custom El Oso Blanco jersey and shows up to the Ted wearing that and a polar bear head.

Weak trolls on twitter and shitty grammar from Pete. What is the MLB section becoming? :kuzzy:

Domonic Brown will win the ROY

Pitty, in the chatbox.

My friend on facebook, predicting BJ Upton's season:

I think he'll get a 30/30 if he can keep that average at least in the high .260s

Obviously that's lazily optimistic and a weird arbitrary ROUND NUMBER method of analysis, but besides that, this implies that batting average has a causative effect on home runs and steals, when really there is a very loose correlation at best.

He could hit .260, he could get 30 steals, and he could get 30 homers, and he could likely do none of these things, but either way none would affect the other. They are all independent, loosely correlated events IMO.

 

[Goober]

Another gem from Pitty.

Depends on the year Domonic Brown has, with that variable, if Brown is hitting as well as he has in Spring and Howard is protected, I'll say between .255-.265 with 40-45 HR's, if Brown flops and there is no protection, .240, 34 HR's.

I'm so frustrated, Gattis has earned the right to start(sheesh!) on opening day, yes he can handle veteran pitching, yes, he can call a game, I'd rather have him facing Hamels than Laird. laird needs more time to heel up. I believe Hamels would have his way easy w/ Laird(.100 avg.) So far Gattis hasn't even embarrased the team w/ his play, nor his bat, he's been stellar, let the caution about him go, he's hungry, he's the real deal, seems like some folks say "if " too much. Laird isn't half of a David Ross(man, what would it be if he were still here), sure Laird is a veteran, but Gattis has been leaps & bounds. His defensive ability is more than adequate. Let laird help him in between innings, that would be decent veteran influence for em'. Keep busting it Great White Bear!

ajc.com comments section, gotta love it.

Vernon Wells joining the #Yankees? Great guy who will be a big addition to our club.

In regards to the Cubs signing players after this coming season:

Either way they aren't going to sit on all the cap space they will have for another off-season.

Sounds like something a CCS member would say...

The guy who edited the Mariners THE SHOW roster for Operation Sports, defending rating Danny Hultzen an 80, 1 point higher than the undisputed top pitching prospect, Dylan Bundy:

For Hultzen you really need to look at the sum of his parts. If it wasn't for the command issue at AAA (which I believe to be a blip on the radar based on his track record and what he did this spring) he would be a top 10 pitcher, maybe even a top 10 prospect.

Puig is a 77 OVR too. The rosters are really unbalanced. The guy from the Nats gives Rendon a 66 while the guy doing the Ms put anyone who could be considered a prospect in the mid to high 70s with A potential.

 

[SuperKevin]

I like my rosters I downloaded. They seem to be a bit more balanced

Reduced Puig to a 73 right away. :lesmug:

Take a look at Zunino sometime.

NAHSTE,

This could be a bad baseball statement but I need your Barves insight.

Yesterday a couple local sports radio hosts in Chicago were discussing Chipper Jones' tweets about the Rutgers situation. They were basically ripping on him for being kind of a douche about it. Whatever. But what caught me off guard was that they said that essentially "If you look at Jones' history in Atlanta he was always kind of an asshat/penis so idiotic behavior like these tweets isn't unexpected."

Maybe I was too far from Atlanta to pay attention or really care...but did I miss Chipper Jones being a dickwad for his entire career?

 

[SuperKevin]

I don't think he was an asshat. Pretty sure he liked the ladies a bit too much but who doesn't?

 

[RobbyB34]

I met Chipper once, when I was about 13. He was a douche bag. But a heck of a baseball player. He was signing baseballs and pictures and he wouldn't even respond to people's questions or comments. I think I still have the ball he signed.

Tommy Hunter is future ace for Orioles -Me in 2011

Was it at a signing event?
