Red Sox put up 17 on Texas & AROD, Braun to go down in PED flames

[Ron Burgundy]

BLAHAHAH
I will leave out RBI's and HR's
Nobody cherry picks like you do

"Arod played a lot longer" both played 19 seasons

Games played - Arod 2524 Many 2302

Are you going to blame Arod for playing 160 games a year while Many sat out with "hammy" injuries.



Stolen Bases
Arod - 318
Manny -38

Stolen bases... That's a relevant stat when talking about the better hitter..

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

And just shy of 1,500 more plate appearances for ARod..


Yet only 92 more HRs and 79 RBI...

Yeah, guys dont get penalized for actually being able to stay on the field

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Yankee fans arguing raw numbers vs things like OBP and SLG...



Folks, I'm here to tell you... There is a reason why you guys are never referred to "the most knowledgeable fans in baseball" and the Red Sox and Cardinals fans always are...

There really is.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Stolen bases... That's a relevant stat when talking about the better hitter..

Certaintly calculated into who the better overall offensive player was

"When talking about who the better right handed hitter was...I'll bring up stolen bases!!!

Ellsbury > left handed hitter than Lou Gherig!!!"

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Ok, so ARod was the more durable player... Longer career.. Started earlier.. Stole more bases, played better defense...


None of this, Dirt... None of it.. makes him a better hitter..

 

[Down38st8]

Certaintly calculated into who the better overall offensive player was

"when my argument is failing, I just change scope fo the debate!!! That'll learn them!!!"

Snoogs is right on this...in terms of who the better "hitter" was? Manny.

No one with a sane mind would conclude he was the better overall player..

 

[RedSoxWorrld]

yes

it has

i see it everyday

its mostly coincidental and more likely due to the pendulum effect, but it has improved greatly

-

yeah......no, it hasn't improved "greatly"

 

[PeteNYC]

your numbers are patently false

link or jump in the hudson

i work in manufacturing...manufacturing and new home sales are all up since jan 2009...those 2 are the rebar in the foundation that is our economy

when i was unemployed, i literally could not get an interview...for a long, long time. over the last 3 years i was able to find jobs when needed, seamlessly...and seem to have found one in what seems to be a near recession proof industry.

it was a total struggle to get in a door...now i get calls a few times a month from recruiters i used to use, saying i can have my choice of positions (which i no longer need)

People Not In Labor Force Soar By 663,000 To 90 Million, Labor Force Participation Rate At 1979 Levels | Zero Hedge

My numbers are false?
because you got a job, everything is okay?

There are millions of less Americans working today than 4 years ago, they just stopped looking and live off of handouts.

the number of people on govt' welfare is at All time highs, by ten fold!

Housing purchases are slightly higher due to record low mortgage rates of 3%

Rock, please don't argue economics with me - I SIT in a LEATHER Chair!!!

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Lmao

Well done Ron

No HR and RBI totals for guys that got paid their entire careers to hit HRs and knock in runs

Wow! Next topic please

If you want to know, Dirt...

This is why Boston fans > NY fans...


We get it... You don't...



But please... Let's talk about how Sammy Sosa was a better hitter than Albert Pujols next...


HR totals and stuff..

 

[Down38st8]

"Dustin Pedroia > Mike Trout...he hit more HR's and has more RBI..therefore, it must be true"

Thanks dirt...

There really is.

I've honestly never heard that once about Red Sox fans and i don't wonder why when I hear them deem HRs and RBIs meaningless for HR hitters and run producers

Honestly, you sound like a retahd

 

[PeteNYC]

"when my argument is failing, I just change scope fo the debate!!! That'll learn them!!!"

Snoogs is right on this...in terms of who the better "hitter" was? Manny.

No one with a sane mind would conclude he was the better overall player..

But, it's also not "laughable" like snoogy would make you believe

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

"Dustin Pedroia > Mike Trout...he hit more HR's and has more RBI..therefore, it must be true"

Thanks dirt...

Dustin Pedroia hit more HRs than Mike Trout?

Go back to politics

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Certaintly calculated into who the better overall offensive player was

Grossly irrelevant given this was about who is second to Albert Pujols as the best RH hitter of the past 30 years...


But by all means... Change the argument until you find one you win.


It's the NY way..

 

[PeteNYC]

"When talking about who the better right handed hitter was...I'll bring up stolen bases!!!

Ellsbury > left handed hitter than Lou Gherig!!!"

I was mocking dummy

 

[Down38st8]

But, it's also not "laughable" like snoogy would make you believe

Of course not...we're talking about 2 guys (steroids ignored) that are in the conversation of being amongst the 10 best hitters ever...laughable? No...but one was clearly better at the plate..


And I can easilly admit the other was better in EVERY facet of the game, excluding general douchebaggery, which I'll call a draw...

 

[PeteNYC]

too means "along with"

as in, both

as in, youre an idiot

LOL
you made my case!
you are saying
it is Bush's fault, along with Obama's.

Ron I'm shocked you think Boston fans are better than NY fans

Does anyone else in Boston feel the same way?

 

[Down38st8]

Dustin Pedroia hit more HRs than Mike Trout?

Go back to politics

Pedroia 93 HR's 439 RBI

Trout: 45 HR's 137 RBI

Pedroia is WAAAAAYYYYYYY better....right?


Or are we going to suddenly discuss plate appearances and such?
