What I'm saying is how would a park just become more hitter friendly than another if the dimensions and stadiums did not not change?

Changing weather patterns notwithstanding, it wouldn't. The factors are being skewed by the players' numbers that play in those parks.

To illustrate, if in 2004, you took the Boston Red Sox (949 runs - .282/.360/.472/.832) and Arizona Diamondbacks (615 runs - .253/.310/.393/.703) and swapped stadiums, Fenway's "hitter friendliness" for that year would change. It's being skewed by the teams.

I'm not saying they're worthless, but I take them with a grain of salt.

What makes you think that?

What makes you think that?

never mind.

 

[soxfan1468927]

never mind.

The Red Sox scored 517 runs at home that year and 432 runs on the road. So 54.48% of their runs were scored at home. They obviously aren't going to repeat those exact numbers from year to year, so Park Factor has to fluctuate. That's why it's better to look at a multi-year sample.

Oh, Garrett Cooper.

He was no savior

Of course not, but watch Chase Headley revert back to sucking when he starts batting righty

Wife has a Cayenne. Nice ride, expensive maintenance. European cars are expensive to maintain. I have a Silverado. Never needs anything. I'll probably put 300,000 miles on it. Wife never puts more than 80,000 miles on a car then she gets a new one. The Cayenne has about 55,000 on it now so she'll be wanting a new car about this time next year. Women...

Mechanic friend of mine: "If it is a fluid, and it resides in an automobile, you should replace it often. Oil, radiator, transmission, differential..." Fucking guy probably changes out his windshield wiper fluid.

Edelman and Gilmore, who were matched up during an 11-on-11 red zone drill during the latter portion of practice, got tangled up in the back of the end zone. As a pass from quarterback Jacoby Brissett to Edelman fell incomplete, the fiery wide receiver took exception to Gilmore's physical play and wrestled him to the ground before coaches and teammates separated the two.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick has a non-negotiable practice rule: No fights. If you do fight, you are ejected.

 

[redseat]

I can watch this on repeat for the rest of my life...

I am still shocked the officials didn't throw the flag to DPI... Contact and it's the Patriots...

I especially love that fact that @DirtDirtDirt posted this!

Her grandma left her enough money to guy a new car every year. She's had some nice rides. Before the Cayenne she had a fully loaded Navigator. She traded it in because she said it was too hard to park. She bought me a new Harley and a new Silverado so I can't complain.

Price is throwing with no limitations in the outfield. "Not holding back"
Earlier in the week he said it was a 1 on a 1-10 scale.
They hid him this weekend so he wasnt booed. Its a give in at this point.

If he pitches in a game by August 10, I'll give you and Snoogins props. I just find it implausible that the team would go through that BS just to "covertly" protect him. Why not just do it informally, i.e. make him "day to day"? And if he does come back mid August what makes you think he won't get booed then? Are they waiting to start him on another road trip?

He's fine, always was fine.. Just being a pussy and didn't want to face the media and play in Boston

Simply time between the incident and a start. They are trying to let this die.

Well let's get the conspiracy theory straight. Is it Price being a pussy or the team trying to protect him?

Remember - this is allegedly a team in a division race and Price's absence means they have to start the likes of Doug Fister (even though that actually went well).
