Fire Jay Mariotti: What this world needs is more love letters from sportswriters to Derek Jeter

LOL..

Those steely, calm, steel eyes. They look right through you. And when Derek says "Sorry guys, no more questions, I've got to shower and go home" the eyes are saying something much naughtier than that.

Happy friday bitches

 

[HammerDown]

well, its the NL...and we all know you take that with a grain of salt

facing 8 professional hitters vs 9

Take what with a grain of salt? Authentic, pure, original baseball? Playing the game the way it's been played since the Civil War? Everything that happens in the AL should have an asterisk because it's impure.

royals would be 3rd in the WC hunt if they played in the NL

 

[Rock Strongo]

That's factored into ERA+

This rotation also leads MLB in avg. innings per start.

never knew the accounted for the weaker NL in that metric

the redsox are 2nd in strikeouts in MLB as a staff

and thats facing 9 hitters

toucher and rich (98.5) are looking for the guy who sent him the letter. dumb idea to respond to someone like that, this early on, the way he did. he came across as the narcisist we all see him as. no remorse, nothing.

dummy

Yes he only makes it look even more like he is guilty. I was hearing reports that people are still saying its not his letter since the "h's" were wrong or something like that. Though I hear reports from people claiming the prison officials confirmed that he in fact wrote it

 

[heatwave31]

Fuck the royals.. but i am pulling for them.

 

[Rock Strongo]

sox are 7th in MLB in QS by pitchers

It's based on league and park factors.

The Red Sox are also third in walks.

It reflects based on League average. The Baseline (before park factors) to attain and 100 ERA+ is a lower era in the NL..

 

[redseat]

Couldn't of said it better myself. Just rips your heart out to see a masterful performance like that from King Felix, and then ruined when he's taken out.

Not the first time nor that last...

Though wasn't his record like 100-15 (or something ridiculous like that) when his team scores 2 or 3 runs?

 

[Down38st8]

153

137

121

117

111

The ERA+ numbers of the best starting rotation in baseball.

Toss up with: 164, 150, 124, 100, 99

But in a short series? I don't think I'd take either over St. Louis, Detroit or the Dodgers...

impure = working to get 27 outs in a game instead of 24

every 9th hitter in the NL is an out 90% of the time

3+ runs he's 91-30

 

[black francis]

Hernandez is also 0-1 when the home team gets a call in the bottom of the 9th

 

[Down38st8]

Tiger Woods scorecard is looking like a mini golf score right now.

back side: 3,3,2,3,4 after shooting a 30 on the front...

59 is a possibility....9 under with 4 to play (par 70, so 11 under is the goal)

 

[Rock Strongo]

the Red Sox:

most RBI in MLB (tied with detroit)

most runs scored

2nd in BA

2nd in triples

1st in doubles

2nd in hits

 

[Down38st8]

Hernandez is also 0-1 when the home team gets a call in the bottom of the 9th

Price is 1-0 when getting a gift in the bottom of the 9th..

 

[black francis]

the Red Sox:

most RBI in MLB (tied with detroit)

most runs scored

2nd in BA

2nd in triples

1st in doubles

2nd in hits

easiest schedule in the league

AL East is a joke

 

[Down38st8]

The Year felix won his controversial CYA (13-12 record) he get 2 or fewer runs 15 out of 34 starts...he went a combined 2-10 in those 15 games, with a 2.84 ERA...

"wins are awesome!!!"
