GDT : Cardinals @ Blue Jays (8/2) ~ 12:37pm CDT

[Lightning Rod]

It's like watching circus performers, Church with the clown show.

Thx CK

and Thx Oli for giving JJW a day off.

The kid is obviously running down in his rookie season and needs more days off so he can stave off
S. Stewart (23 HR/84 RBI/.810 OPS and yes I have a fear too many voters are going to look at the traditional counting stats over JJW"s superior fWAR) for ROY!

C'mon, Rock. Don't tell me you are another one who blows off the traditional stats?

Nope, why I brought up Stewart's stats that I've been watching now for a long time

But

If you listen to those who do "blow them off", then they'd swear JJW's a "lock" given his superior fWAR that values his all round game (hitting, fielding, baserunning) over Stewarts back of the baseball card stats.

But baring a BIG Aug/Sept from JJ or a complete collapse from Stewart, I think JJW's ROY chances are slipping away.

They probably are. The reason I had asked was because of the debate ive been in on another thread. I do not understand the current philosophies of the game. Claiming rbi's aren't important because they aren't "measurable" makes no sense to me.

Clearly

Again, a conversation between me and another poster. Butt out.

Forgot what you just said?

Church

WTH?

[11WSChamps]

Jordan Walker batting 2nd gets a chance to hit in the 9th with 2 outs

And he delivers

Good thing he's not batting 4th there instead

[Voldemort]

WTF

[swatski]

O’Brien losing value

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

Two more. Get it done Riley.

[cbcloud]

...NO WALKS, O'Brien..! Make 'em put the ball in play...

[Cusecards]

Take a seat Springer!
Can’t stand that borderline washed up has-been.
LOL

[cbcardsfan]

He’s got an arm

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

Well, that was fun.

[Voldemort]

Winner. Man does Winn have an arm!

[hotrivets]

Avoided the sweep so there is that. Wish Libby could have gotten the win.

[82birds]

nice job RO'B

[cardinalsfever44]

Salvaged a win in Toronto. Will be a very different looking team tomorrow in NY.

[bartleby the scrivener]

Joy in Mudville!
