So, we agree - the goal is to get on base, correct?

Would you take the guy that gets on .383 rate or .376 rate?

In his CAREER MVP type year, Elsbury got on base at a lower rate than Gardner the year he had ONLY BWHAHAHA ONLY 142 Hits.

Just to put it in perspective
Elsbury career high hits - 212 hits OBP .376
Jeter Career high hits - 219 hits OBP 438

Bwhahahah Elsbury got 212 hits and couldn't get on base more often than brett gardner! bwahahah

We agree that Gardner can't hit. And when you watch him at the plate you are rooting for him to draw a walk, because that's about the best he can do with a bat in his hands. 132 hits?!?!?

You confuse me being angry with me being right.

almost always mutually exclusive with you

i got a 243 once

around here, very hard to find ten pin, its all candlepin and a score of 200 is unheard of

cant find candlepin anywhere else, for the most part

as a kid i bowled candlepin in lancaster new hampshire.....my mom was in a bunch of duck pin leagues too when we lived up north

 

[PeteNYC]

When your career BA is .264, you had BETTER be able to draw some walks. Especially when you have no power, either. Ellsbury's career BA is .293.

So, getting on base isn't the goal?

Make up your mind on which argument you are going with.

Chapee "Bwahahaha , you can't steal first"
Me: "Gardner gets on base at a higher rate than Els"
Chappee "Fuck, well he has a lower batting average bwahaha"

and outside of 2011, ellsbury has shown what power?


Face it, outside of one anomalous year for ellsbury, they're the same guy...and down keeps calling gardner a 4th OF...while claiming ellsbury (before lying about it today) is in line for a $200M contract

never said he was in line for a $200m contract...and this conversation you're talking about? Was earlier last year...he was following up an MVP caliber season.

He's been hurt and unproductive ever since..

Funny..it takes an injured and unproductive ellsbury to equate him to Gardner...but...Gardner is better than CarGo and Justin Upton...


Lies prove the liar is "angry and bitter"


About the last person who would defend me here? Defended me on that topic...

We agree that Gardner can't hit. And when you watch him at the plate you are rooting for him to draw a walk, because that's about the best he can do with a bat in his hands. 132 hits?!?!?

so getting on base nearly 40% of the time bad...if you do it via walk


getting on base 35% of the time good


got it

obviously, the 243 was ten pin

Shit I wish I can bowl a 220. My mother-in-law bought me a 240 dollar ball a few years ago. I felt like Al Bundy for some reason. Its not a gyro ball really, I throw a mean uncontrollable hook. I'm about 170-180 at best. I dont know who makes the ball though. I'll let you know. Its 16 lbs.

 

[black francis]

real bowling > cand lepin

 

[gener8tr]

Yeah,

I'm the same way. I have an extra freezer for meats and Lean Cuisines. MY favorite Lean Cusine is the Shrimp and Angle Hair followed by the Rigatoni and Meat Balls.

The shrimp and Angel Hair is fantastic. I also buy the Ginger Chicken quite often. And surprisingly, the Fettucini Alfredo is quite rich and creamy for a low-cal (leave that one alone, Johnny)

lol


you claimed he was in line for a $200M contract if he put up another decent year...


keep lying about it


So in your mind, the difference between a 4th OF and a $200M contract is one anomalous year


awesome

But he gets on base better and more often than Elsbury.

Can you also agree taht Jeter is the BEST hitter in the league... being that he lead teh league in hits?

moron.

do you wear a helmet while you bowl or do the bumpers make you feel safe enough

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

Waldbaums has Lean Cuisines on sale every 2 weeks like 4 for 10 dollars. My wife got me into them. I eat 2 boxes at once. One just isnt enough for me. Tonight, I'm making chicken and steak tacos.

Okay, assuming I said that (when I didn't) did he have another decent year?

No? So then in "my mind" the difference isn't what you're claiming above, is it?


More lies....

Sorry, vanity moment, I just miss Arizona.

Gay Francis is right. You and Gen are ruining this thread.
