Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers 8/16-8/18

[RevSader]

Sorry there was a runner on 1st

lol I don't even know what solid means, but alright.

 

[Hambombs]

I really am not trying to be a dick about it, I just don't understand how people make claims with no info to back them...I know I've done it before, and I hate when I do it, just gets me.

Well I totally forgot there was a runner on first instead of 2nd and 3rd lol

 

[Hambombs]

lol I don't even know what solid means, but alright.

Well it means above average player I guess

 

[RevSader]

Well it means above average player I guess

He's not even at league average offensively though...

 

[pegasusredleg]

Well if the Indians had a chance this series it was tonight with Masterson on the mound. Going to top ninth against Balfour.

 

[Hambombs]

He's not even at league average offensively though...

Overall he looks good

 

[Hambombs]

Sogard and kinsler have a 1.6 WAR by the way

 

[RevSader]

Overall he looks good

Well I don't know what to tell you. I look at metrics that show the league average, and he's below it.

Not offensively overall as a player

Just looking at fWAR doesn't tell the whole story. Kinsler isn't have a very good year either.

 

[RevSader]

Not offensively overall as a player

And overall he's not even at replacement level production just yet. He might end up there at the end of the season, but right now he's not...

I'm just saying be careful calling players fringe players. When you're own player hasn't been great himself

I thought replacement level was 0?

 

[RevSader]

I thought replacement level was 0?

Nope. Replacement level is 2.0.

Did I ever say Kins wasn't playing like a fringe player? The only player playing at an elite level for the Rangers is Beltre.

 

[Hambombs]

1st and 2nd 1 out in the 9th

 

[Hambombs]

Nope. Replacement level is 2.0.

Oh I could of sworn it was 0. I mean that's what I read on fan graphs

 

[Hambombs]

Meh it's over line out double play

 

[Bmurph]

Too bad Wash didn't get thrown out of the game early, they might have won this one with someone else making the late inning calls

 

[RevSader]

Oh I could of sworn it was 0. I mean that's what I read on fan graphs

Unless they totally changed it this year.

 

[Hambombs]

Unless they totally changed it this year.

It doesn't make sense because most fans are happy if Andrus puts up atleast a 3 WAR
