Phillies get Harper

[Sparhawk]

So you can't handle the truth.

I recognize when a troll is being trolled....

 

[Sparhawk]

Anytime a team throws big time money at a .248 hitter is funny.

Anytime someone uses batting average as their tell-all offensive stat is funny.
But, keep trolling, it's funny.

You seem butt-hurt because I stated facts.

Facts without context is ignorance.
Your move.

You again?

You again?

Exactly.

ITT: a lifetime .280 hitter is defined only by his last season.

Give GnG some credit, as he has a 0.3 VORT (Value over Replacement Troll).

"I am doing this for my brothers in the union and future players"
-union of an industry that sees salaries range from $34M to $500k per year

Might be time to focus on the players that actually need the union, like the marginal major leaguer.

We already went through this.

I think that it was Philly that triggered him.
Obvious trolling is obvious, but this seems painful.

Each post gets funnier and funnier.

 

[Sparhawk]

It's ok, folks.
The troll has been taken care of.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

 

[Rex Racer]

That's a lot of money, maybe now he can afford a t-shirt with two sleeves.

Homer...

Are you organic? Nope.

He was triggered when the Eagles won the Super Bowl.

A hit is more important than a walk.

A hit is more important than a walk.

Sure, but OBP takes into account both hits and walks. Batting average by comparison completely ignores walks....
