Been doing this for several years and posting it on here, where the goal was to get an aggregate listing of each team's best starter (#1), 2nd best starter (#2), 3rd best starter (#3) for a single season and finding what the average #1, #2, #3 starter looks like. The goal isn't necessarily to...

Going out on top: Astros OF Beltran retires

Seems like an open race this year with no clear frontrunner....who ya got?

It's possible he'll win his 3rd Cy this year, and everyone other than Clemens with 3+ Cy's and is eligible is in the HOF (Kershaw has 3 Cy's and it's a good bet he'll eventually make it). Scherzer's an interesting case since he's 33 and has had probably 7 seasons that can be characterized as...

Thought it would be fun to see any fan interactions with wrestlers and how the experience was... Back in '96 when I was 10, I went to the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony...back then they had it in banquet halls (instead of the big arenas they do it in today), which meant you could go table to table...

Hard to believe there isn't one already (at least on the first page).....

WrestleMania 34 brings WWE back to New Orleans in 2018 Two times in five years? I get that they want to do it in more touristy locations, there are other places that could work well (I'm sure many were considered but the logistics/timing/pricing didn't work)... Thinking of some new places...

Should be a fun thread to see who everything thinks will end up with a HOF career (not who you think will make it but who you think will be deserving). Probably best to set a minimum of years/games since so it'll be players who have some track record as opposed to someone who hasn't had much...

Might be interesting to compare the career numbers of players without giving away who the players are, to show how underrated/overrated or close they might be. Pitcher A - .526 win %, 5386 innings, 3.19 ERA (112 ERA+), 1.25 WHIP, 2.04 K/BB, 222 CG, 61 shutouts Pitcher B - .534 win %, 4970...

Why not have a debate on it? Looking at it from a career perspective, the leaders in WAR (Baseball Reference's version) from pitchers who started their careers from the early 1980s onward: 1) Roger Clemens 2) Greg Maddux 3) Randy Johnson 4) Pedro Martinez 5) Mike Mussina 6) Curt Schilling 7)...

Been doing this for a few years now out of curiousity, where the goal was to get an aggregate listing of each team's best starter (#1), 2nd best starter (#2), 3rd best starter (#3) for a single season and finding what the average #1, #2, #3 starter looks like. My goal isn't necessarily to argue...

Both played the same position during the same era. Player A (9053 PAs)) - .297 AVG, .858 OPS (125 OPS+), 287 HR, 1257 RBI, 2336 H, 1366 R, 1212 K, 49.4 WAR Player B (7953 PAs) - .284 AVG, .902 OPS (132 OPS+), 393 HR, 1199 RBI, 1949 H, 1251 R, 1729 K, 60.3 WAR

Same logic as the #1 starter one done recently.... http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/mlb-baseball-forum-message-board-general-discussion/169740-how-good-your-1-starter-2014-season.html Based on this, the average #2 starter has a 12-10 record with a 3.54 ERA (108 ERA+) in about 184 IP with a...

I've done this in prior years, where the goal was to get an aggregate listing of each team's best starter (#1), 2nd best starter (#2), 3rd best starter (#3) for a single season and finding what the average #1, #2, #3 starter looks like. My goal isn't necessarily to argue whether pitcher X...

Did An Old Woman Wander Into The Giants' Dugout Tonight?

Pretty interesting read...with Trout's speed and defense declining with him bulking up, they may be similar players at this point. Is Mike Trout becoming Giancarlo Stanton? - Beyond the Box Score
