“Are these guys baseball players?”

I should hope so if you’re drafting them >.>

Still in despair.

And

Reynolds seems genuinely pissed off. Hilarious stuff. These old-school guys just can’t wrap their minds around the idea of historical stats being predictors. Just hilarious stuff.

So..

They’re talking about Pecota but the projections are “He’s going to give you 82 RBI, him 122 RBI, and then Sabathia will win 15 and Lincecum win 13.”

I was hoping that Matt Vasgersian would drop a couple of VORPs or EQAs but I’m pretty sure Harold Reynolds’ eyes would have popped out of his skull.

by xanthan on Feb 25, 2009 10:36 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

i was hoping that Matt Vasgersian would drop dead. Ok, maybe drop down on the floor after being smacked by Bill Pecota.

Harold Reynolds is an idiot.

I do think people (including myself) go overboard with stats at times, but it’s not as if we don’t ever watch the game or have never played it.

Yes he is and yes they do.

Barry Larkin more or less has it right. It’s not that hard.

I'm spent, just can't rosterbate anymore.

Question:

Does Barry Larkin know how good he was? I sure hope so….

Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all

If Dustin Pedroia played in Seattle, not many people would be talking about him.

Harold :(

I’m like the only one who likes him.

I love harold Reynolds. Baseball Tonight went from a must-watch show to a less entertaining must-watch show when he left.

Playoffs!!??

by PAWarrior on Feb 26, 2009 12:19 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I like him too, actually. Like Joe Morgan, he’s awful on some topics and really insightful on others.

I like him, but he says some stupid things sometimes.

I always kind of wish that Harold Reynold’s was Harold Ramis.

I’d watch if he was.

My fav quote: too many teams are building teams based on stats!

Yeah,like the Rays and Red Sox!

After a days thought...

I don’t wont to think about what goes on in the locker room if baseball is a touch and feel type of sport…
