Now, answer me this. Who will have more RBI's: Barry Bonds (in his best season) who has 0 at bats with RISP, or some mid-tier hitter who has 200 at bats with RISP. Obviously this is exaggerated, but the same proves true to smaller differences. RBI's ARE THE WORST STAT. PERIOD.

That is the most unrealistic situation you can't even say that. You are right if the world was crazy unrealistic like your example shows then yeah some mediocre batter will have more RBI's...but in the real world there will never be a situation like that.

We are gonna have to agree to disagree.

I'm fine with agreeing to disagreeing, but this isn't the type of thing that is arguable. Baseball analyst and experts all point to the same point, mine. Your just refusing to accept the fact that Tex is not as clutch as Mauer/RBI's are garbage.

Bonds would have more RBIs considering half his hits are homers.

Actually, Bonds hit 73 homers in his best season. That would be 73 RBI's.
A mediocre player would be batting around .250, with 200 at bats he'd get a hit around 50 times. Assuming the man on second base could score half the time, the mediocre player would have 75 RBI's

Hmm... quick! Everyone list the NL Central (or another division of your choice) teams from best to worst WITHOUT looking at the standings.

Heres my opinion...

Albert Pujols
Cubs
Astros
Cardinals
Brewers
Reds
Pirates

ejberkenpas22 · « **Reply #81 on:** August 23, 2009, 11:52:34 PM »

Cards
Cubs
Brewers
Astros
Pirates
Reds

Pujols would be no where without his team...but he is a machine and if anyone could win on their own it would be him!

wait are the angels or yankees gonna be in the WS. You picked LAA to beat the yanks but the yanks to beat the dodgers in the WS...haha

I edited it 49 seconds before you posted that...

. When I got down to the WS part I forgot I predicted the Angels beat the yanks

ejberkenpas22 · « **Reply #86 on:** August 24, 2009, 12:32:03 AM »

oh haha well I just missed the edit then. I think its for sure gonna be the yankees, angels, or dodgers. Angels are injury prone ( Vlad, Hunter, Lackey, and Santana). If they can keep them healthy they have as good a chance as anyone. Yankees need to get good pitching in the playoffs...they can't rely on their bats. CC, Joba, and Burnett gotta get on their A game. Dodgers just need to play like they did for the first 70 or so games of the season. They are the best team when playing like that.

I don't follow baseball as closely as I used to, but aren't both of those illegal first round pairings? The wild card won't play a team from their division in the Division Series, unless it changed since last year.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #88 on:** August 24, 2009, 12:44:08 AM »

Argh. Your right, I wasn't paying attention when I was throwing those together -.-. I was just thinking 1-4 2-3, and not paying attention to divisions

Fixed my predictions.

good catch...fixed.

Well, it's not looking too good for the cubbies anymore, but I must say that LA is looking pretty good for the NL.
The AL is hard to choose, but the yankees are starting to step it up.

ejberkenpas22 · « **Reply #91 on:** August 24, 2009, 04:58:06 PM »

All I am going to say right now...is as much as I hate them the Phillies are looking really good. If Hamels can pull himself together and they can bring in Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, and J.A. Happ into the playoffs as their 1,2, and 3 pitchers. They are going to be VERY hard to beat. They have a power lineup with Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Raul Ibanez, and Jayson Werth. Jimmy Rollins is having a good year, Victorino is good, and Pedro Feliz has had for himself a pretty good year as well. I have overlooked them recently and I have edited my playoff predicitons.

STAMP · « **Reply #92 on:** August 24, 2009, 06:11:42 PM »

As evidenced by today, Phillies just wrapped up a second World Series when they signed Cliff Lee. $:-\$

ejberkenpas22 · « **Reply #93 on:** August 24, 2009, 06:16:10 PM »

Well...today was actually probably one of his not so good games compared to all the ones he has pitched for the Phillies...5 k's is low comparatively haha. But yeah the only reason I will not say they are going to win is because it is so hard to repeat. And right now the Yankees are looking really strong and the potential the Dodgers have is ridiculous. Manny Ramirez is hands down a better and more experienced batter than any single batter on the Phillies. They have solid pitching out of Billingsley, Kershaw, and Wolf. Kurodu has potential too. They have some great young batting as well. You can't rule out the Angels either. This year more than any year I am really excited to see what happens. There are a lot of teams with legitimate chances of winning the WS. And Boston isn't one of them

STAMP · « **Reply #94 on:** August 24, 2009, 06:20:42 PM »

If the Dodgers win the Series, I'm a very happy man.

If anyone but the Yankees and Red Sox win the Series, I'm a very content man.

The final outcome is not acceptable.

I was going to kidnap Jeter during the playoffs, but then I realized that would help the Yankees.

Haha...well I will be very happy if the Yankees or Pirates win
