Just heard about two NCAA violations in WCC. 1) athlete using Univ. water to wash car, 2) coach text recruit "who is this?". #stopinsanity

Now do in places that don't have a wall in left field 220 feet away

I'm not of the ilk to make a big deal about home road splits.

He takes advantage of his environment. Good for him. Bottom line is what he does to help win games. OPS+ is a fine enough measure for that. Don't need to divulge much further..

Home OPS is higher than road OPS in the MLB. And there is a reason, familiarity of the environment you call home.. OPS+ gauges the Value for what is an acceptable OPS for each park.

Now, as far as talent and ability? You would need to drive further than OPS+ . But it gets a bit mucky if we start using Road numbers as "true indicators" of talent. IMO

"Oh no. A complete stranger mocked my asinine trade proposal. I better get real angry about it and call his wife ugly! That'll show em!"

- an actual thin skinned ****

Yeah....I'm the thin skinned one...

I wonder...is that thread still here somewhere? The "please...just cancel it...I can't do this anymore!" thread?

some absolute fucking gold in that thing...:laugh3:

Almost as comical was Dirts hiatus to the NFL boards...

VP shows ownership of that fan base double what he does to Heatwave, he's pretty much Cano's OPS on the road to Pedroia's.

nyy1 is the one who owns that fanbase

Dirt, myself, and some anonymous clubhouse attendant that leaked (against Pedroia's wishes) that Dusty was playing through a torn ACL, kidney stones, terminal cancer and premature balding..... are just carrying on his legacy

.723 OPS on the road

He's a decent player when a wall in left field isn't 220 feet away from him

He doesn't care about your trade proposal anymore

Dirt mocked Pedroia. A far greater sin

He couldn't have been the one who leaked it.... afterall, Yahoo sports told me he looked "visibly upset"

I don't know...

Does Down overrate Pedroia or Red Sox prospects more...

His anger level in the next hour will tell the story.

What ever you do. Don't look at WAR. Use DSET. It's a much better stat. [Dirt's Seeing Eye Test].

Q: Why did the Boston Red Sox trade Manny Ramirez?
A: Because if he was anymore high maintenance Tom Brady might consider dating him!

Cano's road OPS this season is better than his home OPS. You'd dispute this, but youd be very very very very wrong.

When you and some in your fanbase, take personal Shots at people that take shots at Tom Brady and Dustin Pedroia, you really look like a bunch of assholes

I say that as a friend
