you voting for trump @broncosmitty? LOL

Id rather watch Mike Pelfry pitch.

I told you how it happened last year..

The 2015 Royals were significantly better at base running than the 2015 Tigers.

If you want to attribute the run differential between the two teams to unearned runs, I'm inclined to let you continue to be stupid.

 

[broncosmitty]

i take it you guys don't like tacos or tequila... lol. white power!

I'm an enchiladas kind of chico.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Your speed theory was shot down pretty hard wasn't it? LOL

In an alternate, retarded universe, absolutely. It was blown to smithereens.

 

[broncosmitty]

And anything at El Pollo Loco. Lol

I heard the younger one is HighA or AA ready.

The older one is MLB ready.

I'll pass on anyone who is connected to Iggy. We need baserunners that aren't shitty. (Gose and Iglesias are very poor.)

Iglesias high BABIP is because of his speed and baserunning ability... so yeah.. I get you don't like the kid.. but its funny trying to see you poo poo him all the time.

I will agree with you the Royals are a better base running team than the Tigers.. but the Indians ARE NOT... And the fact they project the Indians to score the most when they are NOT a better base running team than anyone in the division is my point.. The baseball prospectus projection is retarded.

We're a Shitty base running team. Only Kinsler is blessed with with being not slow and not poor.

Miggy may be the best base runner on the team, but weighs 270. VMart and NickyC wouldn't know quickness if it took them to an all inclusive in Mexico.

Maybin should be the best this year. By default.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Iglesias high BABIP is because of his speed and baserunning ability... .

His RS% and SB% were both below the Tigers' team average last year and his XB% was only one percent better than the team average.

He may be fast, but was not good on the basepaths last year.

Maybin is a great baserunner... as is Upton. Upton is one of the better baserunners in baseball.

They were last year.

He isn't fast and is an awful baserunner. Bad jumps, poor decision making. But he might be better than Gose. Who is horrible running bases. Especially for a guy with his speed.

Sometimes I don't think you watch players. No reason you would consider Iggy anything but poor if you had. (Other than bein a blatant homer.)

 

[MiamiVice]

Cleveland stole 3 more bases than the Tigers last year.. lol.. that projects as better on the bases?

Is Upton?

No offense, I'm doubting your credibility on this. (Iggy bringing you down.)

You might want to look Upton's scouting report up. He just joined the team you root for.. Not sure if you knew.

Nah.

I have eyeballs.

 

[Iffster]

Vice-president....could you explain how you derived that the KC Royals were not going to compete for the AL Central title in 2014 AND 2015? I just wonder if your adamant convictions that the Royals (and Indians) won't be able to compete this year, will end up with the same results we saw from your Royal's prophecies from '14 and '15. (I believe Google was available to you then - was it not?)

 

[MiamiVice]

Fun fact.. The indians scored 669 runs last year.. and had no major additions to the lineup. They are set to be without Brantley.. their best hitter for 2 months... yet baseball prospectus projects them to score 700 runs. LOL

 

[MiamiVice]

Nah.

I have eyeballs.

And you eyeballs say Upton isn't good on the bases?
